People make tons of money online. Have you ever wondered, “How do people make money with affiliate marketing?” Keep on reading and you will find out something surprising!
Today we live the year 2016. Who knows what will happen in 2021 or who knows how your life would be if you have chosen differently 2011.
I can hear you asking, “What do you mean by choosing differently??
Let me explain. If you are working in a job where you get active income instead of passive income you will be paid for every hour you work. Right?
What if you would have started a work in 2011 that would generate your income even today? Even if you would be sleeping or in Zaku Zaku Island in the middle of nowhere. 😉
The Power of 1 Sale. $1,400!
Here -> $1,400 commission on 1 WA sale! an online businessman Alex Sol explains how he made $1,400 with one single sale. And he wasn’t even selling his own product but promoting the other person’s product.
Let’s imagine if you would have started affiliate marketing in Wealthy Affiliate in 2011. Then someone bought the yearly premium membership. You got a $175 commission.
Then he learned to do online business (thanks to Wealthy Affiliate) and he continued to the community. After 5 years he has paid 5 x $175 = $875 in your pocket. And you only made one referral.
One link in your social media, one email, one link in your website or one link in the forum or anywhere. ONE LINK! One referral. 875$! That’s powerful! And totally realistic.
Let’s imagine if there would have been 5 people in 2011 who got interested in the online business by your referral. All 5 became successful and continued in WA for 5 years with the yearly membership. How much commission that would have meant for you?
5 x 5 x $175 = $4,375!
Think about it. Only 5 persons.
The Another Fast Way to Big Money with Affiliate Marketing
In affiliate marketing, you are earning commissions from the sold products. The commissions can be 4% or 80%. The product you sell can be $5 or $5,000.
The great way to earn income as an affiliate is selling expensive products with the good commission. Most of the time it’s quite hard to find such products. But finding expensive products with the lower commissions is easier.
Let’s imagine that you have a website that promotes fitness products. You can link for example treadmills, gym machines, and other equipment.
For example the price of the treadmill $1,299.00. Let’s say 5% commission for you (can be 10% also if you are doing well on Amazon). You make $65 for every sale.
$999,99 gym machine with 10% commission means $100 for every sale.
A comprehensive set of high-quality dumbbells $5,322 with 10% commission means $532 for every sale!!
People buy also expensive products online. Would it be fun to get your own share of the market?
The Process of Affiliate Marketing – Simple!
1.The company sells a product
2.You promote their product (=Leave a link of their website somewhere.)
3.Someone buys the product
4.You earn the commission.
The process explained more in detail in my other article here -> What is Affiliate Marketing Online? – Explained Simply.

Hi Charlie,
yeah, $1,400 for a sale is something great! Of course, it doesn’t happen very often for a regular affiliate marketer but if you are consistently developing yourself and your business, you will for sure have $1,400 or similar sales at some point.

I have made affiliate marketing my main focus for the past 2 to 3 years and I am loving the process.
As you say, there is plenty of opportunities to earn an income with this type of model especially if you promote a high-ticket item or a recurring subscription.
My question is; what do you think is easier? Selling 1 high priced item or 100 small-priced items?
I’ve been debating this for a while now haha.
Many thanks
Chris
Hi Chris Lee,
it’s great to hear that you are loving affiliate marketing. It’s important to do what you really like to do.
In my opinion selling 1 high priced item is easier than selling 100 small-priced items because you only need to convert 1 person. If you want to sell 100 small-priced items you need to convert 100 persons which takes much more effort in my opinion.
I would like to hear what do you think about it?
I wish you success Chris!
