The income potential in affiliate marketing varies widely — from a few dollars a month to six figures per year.
Here’s a general breakdown:
Beginners (0–6 months): $0–$500/month (learning and building content).
Intermediate marketers (6–18 months): $500–$3,000/month.
Advanced affiliates (2+ years): $5,000–$50,000/month or more.
Your earnings depend on:
✅ Niche profitability (finance, software, and health niches pay higher commissions).
✅ Traffic quality (targeted audiences convert better).
✅ Consistency and trust (valuable content = loyal followers).
Affiliate marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme — but it’s one of the best ways to build passive income online when done strategically.
