Six-figure Income Monthly with Affiliate Commissions

It's possible but not easy, 5 figures is a lot more realistic.

Have 5 authority sites that each make $2000/month.

What's needed, 20 feeder sites around each site to feed traffic + to help rankings.

Combine that with a bit of link buying or your own private network and you'll come a long way.

Are there easier ways? Yes you could for example do what I described above and sell the whole thing at Flippa for 10*monthly.

Now your $10k turned into $100k (6 figures).

Obvious to maintain that you would need to have a system in place to keep repeating this every month, not cheap and a lot of hard work, but well, $100k is also a LOT of money each month.

This sounds real easy right? Then why don't I make $100k/month? I have the network in place to rank.

It's quite a hassle with VA's I can tell you to set this all up and run it properly, I have 30 Amazon sites now but only half of them is complete, and the other half is finally in the ranking process. The first authority site that's supposed to make $2k/month has just received it's first 20 articles and not a link yet.

In other words you need to be very organized, have a good amount of time on your hands, and gather a good team. My team is on full capacity with my main business, I don't have huge amounts of time myself, and I'm not that organized so kind of doomed to fail.

ps: You also need to find buyers that are prepared to pay $20k per site lol.

Why I tell you all this somewhat irrelevant info? Just to show you hard it is to get to $10k based on affiliate income, what it all requires, now imagine how hard it would be to get to $100k with purely affiliate activities, almost impossible.

Niche Pursuit guy or Spencer, or is that the same? Anyway one of those IM sites is doing $40000/month in Bluehost affiliate sales, SICK!!!

It's very possible. I know a few who did it in 4 months. I have been at it for a month and have created $2616 recurring monthly income as of today.

It is possble, but you need a few things.

an offer that converts.
and quality traffic.

I will have a six figure income before this year is up probably sooner at this rate

I've spent the last few minutes thinking how i can comment without coming across as an a$$ or making a life long enemy but there is no way of doing it without offending you...

That's why they're still pimping their sig at this forum.

LMAO.

Yeah that's pretty sick. that is also why I prefer an affiliate product that pays monthly instead of a one time hit it and quit it. It allows you to compound your income, like the pat flynn example.

Yes it is possible. When you follow a proven method and do not try to reinvent the wheel, then you can see results. You must take action and stick with a plan.
Try list building/email marketing and you will get great results as an affiliate.

An interesting discusson and a lofty goal to strive towards but what are you planning on doing with your six figure profits?

I'd say it's not very simple at all, if the figure that is bandied about that 95% of all Internet Marketers fail. Then the percentage of those that are likely to make over $100,000 a month is very, very tiny.

I don't want to rain on anybodys parade here but as a pure affiliate I think it would be extremely hard. As a product creator of some description or running an e-commerce store much easier but you'd still have to be an exceptional Internet Marketer to pull in six figures a month.

Agreed.

Some people pulling six-figures with AF are usually tight-lipped.

So does it mean that everyone has his own secret formula on which he builds his online empire? There's no repetitive business model that you can follow and establish a successful online business around that and you have to find YOUR own secret RECIPE to your online success???

Thanks

This. Free traffic methods are the most profitable, but they take a lot of time and energy and in most cases are temporary thanks to changes in SEO algorithms.

Paid methods work instantly and are less profitable, but once you have a highly optimized campaign running it will churn our profit every month and you don't have to worry about losing money thanks to Google changes. If the traffic source dies, you aren't spending money to keep it.
