Who around here is making a killing and NOT running an affiliate program?

You have no clue.lets say that you're bloody good and get ctr of 5%,that means 7500 clicks to a sponsor, lets say that the sponsor converts like there's no tomorrow (say 1:500 - bloody good for TGP traffic IMO) that still gives you 15 signups per day
so lets say $35 per signup so 15x35 = $525 daily
so in a month (30.5 days average) ---> $16 025 gross
far far away from the 30k you say you're making
p.s. stand to be corrected of courseDeadComment

how many 150 000 TGPs out there make $30 000 NET per month? 3? is it possible - I'm sure it is, is it likely - not so sure about thatComment

I thought when I said that you had to do more than just list banners and FHGs that it was clear that not everyone could do it. But if you know how to motivate and sell to your surfers you can do well. I would say that having some really good SE traffic is a must as well.
And yes, it isn't just likely, it's happening right now for some WMs.
Oh.. and keep in mind that saying one has a 150k tgp doesn't mean that all the sales etc. are off the main tgp page (although they could be). Saying you have a 150k TGP typically doesn't include all the other pages on your site that might only add up to a few thousand hits but are also generating sales. For example, I typically put a FPA type page between my index and the main tgp page. That FPA can generate a surprising number of sales.
So again.. A 150k TGP can make that sort of cash.. but we're not talking about 98% of what everyone slaps up.Comment

why don't you post those links here, with referral url's?Not everyone uses PPS. If you can produce the 450 sales a month on 50/50 rev, you can easily build that up to $30k/month - provided you are pushing sponsors that have excellent retention. If you need a good retaining revshare sponsor, ICQ me. The sponsor I am promoting, I have many rebills over 24 months.

I was bored and did a study into Wiredguy's SEO skillz. I went LOL many times. So many cheap tricks. Most people here could emulate what he does. He's kind of like a used car salesman, but in the SEO world.
He makes money, but it's pretty lame the way he does it. I'm glad I'm not him. I make a fortune without having to be like that. I'm smarter. My $ is more pure than his, and that has some added value for me.Comment

$240K year? That's only around $190K Euros or $126K UK Pounds - not exactly an achievement bdjuf. It's not hard to earn that simply from eg software development.
There are at least 25-50 on GFY who *need* to earn far more than that - plus many more, some of em known, and others who never ever visit GFY earning *far* more than that.
OK... sure, some of them run affiliate programs - most of the people I know of who run a serious net biz, don't. The world never revloved around affiliate programs - there are loads of other niche areas to play with.
Also fair to say in some instances their total annual profit may not necessarily come from net related adult only - but a mix of adult trading. Can think of three adult "entrepreuners" who are worth several billion in dollar terms - and that does not include any high-profile names.
It's not always about money either *s*XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Yes there are. Many of those people don't post here though and will probably never mention what they make ever.
Although having a program can be nice, it's also a pain in the ass in the eyes of people like me. As an affiliate, I can make $30 a sale and not have to deal with credit card issues, site designs, buying content, updating content, hosting fees, chargebacks, marketing the program, and so on. Not to mention that you really have to be in it for the long haul and you might not have the flexibility you like.
So I'm sure there are people making big bucks that are sponsors, but I also know that there are a lot of affiliates making big bucks too.Comment

Hell no Sly
$250K is above average earnings in eg the EU, but good figure if it fits a comfort level. Who knows, but assume any professional gets that level of income - it's not uncommon. To be honest, it's only me, but can't say I give a shit about money as long as there is some around - the buzz comes from making stuff work - not chasing a dollar.
Private jet?? Hey Sly.. wait a moment
Do you know what a private jet costs including the maintenance and bullshit plus the time you have to spend on it to even begin to make it pay?? And ya sure as hell can't afford it on $250K/year.. and do you know how much pollution that creates?
Seriously - sure, would like to fly and have done a bit mainly in the Caribbean (fuel is cheap as hell there for some reason), but really need to spend time on it. A single engine aircraft would be very useful here, but still needs to be used with some regularity to justify bothering - not into ego trip purchases - and just charter em as needed if the "souls on board" justifies the cost/time.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Na.. not knocking it PK - it is above the average and sure ain't pocket change to anybody. At the same time, it's not exactly into the "rich" category - there are folks who do earn very serious money - don't mean grading em by how much they can stuff into their pockets - more on the basis of what they apply that money to and using it. There is a limited any person can spend money - else it's just bullshit and waste.
Get the impression from this thread that all that matters is some dollars - don't think that is true. There are far more "values" than money and they bring much more "satisfaction" than a load of dollar bills. Sure is the case with me and I sure don't consider myself "rich".
Can only say from the few people I know who are *seriously* wealthy - they worked for every dime and are not into wasting either money or time, but often, they get more of a kick/buzz out of making projects work - and along with that there is often some financial benefit.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

The term was "achievement". Any one man or small business netting $250k yearly is definitely an achievement to be proud of. We aren't talking about big corporate environments that have dozens of 6 figure boys. We're talking about small businesses built from the ground up within under 10 years.
No, $250k is definitely not rich or wealthy. Its living well. I don't even think I would consider $1M yearly "rich". I've heard people say rich is up to $50M, wealthy is above that...

Well I wouldn't call it rich in the US, I would say that if someone in the US earns that money CONSISTENTLY, they will live a very comfortable lifestyle. They'll live in a very nice neighborhood, be able to afford most basic luxuries, and never have to worry about the next meal or mortgage payment. My dad made about 100k a year and we lived in a very nice community and had everything we needed as kids growing up (including college).Na.. not knocking it PK - it is above the average and sure ain't pocket change to anybody.

But you're right about the value of money. It's amazing how many people who make that kind of money live essentially poor and paycheck to paycheck. They spend the money on lavish cars, expensive clothes, and other tangible goods that add zero to their net worth. If you are smart with your 240k, invest it properly, you can live rich.Comment

A few decades ago I took a break from "adult" - needed to write some software which was needed for adult businesses we ran. (These were the days when there was little software around - even less vertical market stuff). I took about 2 years out and coded shit - In that time, after about six months, I was selling stuff and earning more than $250K - simply because of all the small elements that folks needed - from support to tailoring. Can't say this was much of an achievement - partly because "programmers" at that time were earning reasonable money if they were any good. (Think some were on.. US $1200/day - but always thought that was kinda embarassing - it was a lot of money at that time
)
The only reason I stopped this was because adult earns more and we were already in the adult biz. Also when you try to be helpful to clients - you become a crutch and spend hours each day on the phone being asked opinions on this and that - nothing to do with the software they bought, - more to do with their biz decisions. Also lost some hearing hanging onto a phone listening to em - this was not for me
Tho pleased to still help em out and resulted in a few good friends.

I bet your network is primarily thumb preview sites and/or really low traffic text sites with next to nothing for SE trafic.

While 10.9% of Males make over $100K a year, look at the rest of the facts...
1/5th of them make $35 - $50K
Almost 1/5th make $25 - $34K
Combined 1/5 make $25K or less...
And if I looked around at my friends and associates I'd say 3/5ths of them making less than $50K sounds about right.
Another 1/5th makes $51 - $75K.
There are not many people who make over $100K in anyones social network. Add to that the fact that that 10.9% making over $100K has only 4 out of the 10 beating $250K...
So is $250K a year a lot of money? Ummm duhh!
Making that for 4 years straight is enough to put you in a place most people will barely reach after 30 years of work.Comment
