Affiliate marketing is a way to earn money by promoting other people’s products or services online. The amount of money you can make with affiliate marketing depends on many factors such as your niche, your content channel, your audience size, your traffic sources, your conversion rates and the commission rates of the products you promote.

According to a survey done by the Influencer Marketing Hub, more than half of all affiliate marketers make $10K or less per year, while only about 33% make $10K or more per year. However, this is based on self-reported data and may not reflect the actual income of full-time affiliate marketers.

The average salary of an affiliate marketer, according to Glassdoor, is $59,060 per year. It ranges from $58K to $158K, including “additional pay” options like cash bonus, commission, tips or profit sharing.  However, this is for a salaried employee, not a freelancer or business owner.

If you want to estimate your potential affiliate marketing income, you can use this free affiliate marketing income calculator by the Influencer Marketing Hub.
