Reply To: How much can a beginner make in affiliate marketing?

Hi Tim,
I have been making a passive income from affiliate marketing for a while now, my biggest tip when starting out, don’t listen to everything you hear. Most of YouTube is in a pyramid scheme in which they make their money by getting new affiliates to sign on rather than selling products or services through affiliate programs. In terms of how much you can make as a beginner, I think that depends on where you are starting from.
If you already have a Youtube channel or a large following on social media, making thousands from the beginning isn’t unrealistic. On the other hand, most people are starting from scratch. In this case, you need to build some sort of following on a platform.
In this case, you should focus more on building followers/ traffic rather than money/ commission. In my experience, I may be between $200 – $300 in my first few months of affiliate marketing.
