Have you ever imagine what would be average income of top affiliate marketers? You might heard about top affiliate marketers who making ton of money with their consistent efforts from years but when rest of newbies still struggling to make break-even. I surprised when I dig the information about those top marketers earning and Im sure you will too.
There are mid level advertisers who earn $10,000 monthly, when top affiliate marketing gurus earning goes above 50k US Dollars. Strange isnt it? This of course is virtually no money but it's the truth because so many people are struggling to make money online. Even with the so called internet marketing gurus income, this figure is still close to accurate. There is a way to dramatically increase this numbers, but an education is involved.

If average manager of any company take home salary would be around $38000 to $50,000, still the average earnings of internet marketers ($10,000) would increase your heart beats. Believe me, it is really tough job to earn this much income as your salary.

If you are newbie or mid-level experienced in affiliate marketing who would like to increase his or her perk and try to get rid of day to day basis job, I would suggest you to look in affiliate marketing seriously. As any other business, affiliate marketing also needs consistent efforts to reach level of success. You might even get the time where you will feel to give up but careful, you might already close to your break-even and if you give up before you reach to your goal, all efforts you put in your business would not get any value.

Most of newbie thinks affiliate marketing is so much easy that they will start earning ton of money within less efforts and it will work for them as money machine. Let me tell you, it is not like that, affiliate marketing is kind of business running online. It need same efforts, times, and money (if you would like to go for paid advertising) like other business, as well as you need to put your efforts step by step with strategically. You need to win trust of your audiences as then you can promote anything to them.

When initially I started working on affiliate marketing, the only one strategy I was applying to get traffic was PPC from various search engines. This type of traffic are paid and highly targeted but unfortunately you cannot give guaranty that it will convert in to sales. So in meanwhile my investment on buying traffic gone wasted due to high traffic (clicks) but no sales. Then I started using free traffic methods, obviously it took my lots of efforts and time, but returns were worthwhile.

The free traffic methods that I prefer to use for my affiliate marketing business are article marketing, video marketing, forum discussion participation, blogging and social bookmarking. All these methods are free but only take your time and efforts but believe me, its worthwhile. It will increase your traffic consistently even your profit.
