I've been trying to become one for a while now, it just seems that unless you know the right people you are out of luck.

as far as i know most reps are in a commision and a small base income. so i would say 1500 and the rest is commission. but that can always earn them a lot if they got some good earning affiliates

I guess its around 4-8k... :)

my understanding is it varies greatly, somtimes just comission and no base salary, it all depends on the program and other shit

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is a great thread to show how dillusional some people are regarding this industrys salarys eh...funny tho

Depends on the company and how much money they are willing to spend. Depends on your skill set etc etc.

Any company paying less than 35k is cheap as fuck IMO

It depends on many things, but as said 8k wage and percentages for a sales rep is unrealistic. It can be the case with very very few,but none comes in mind this moment. Some of the names mentioned like pipecrew they are not sales rep.

We don't employee any sales rep, only webmasters that can provide real assistant to affiliates. Viral affiliate marketing is the way to grow your business in 2006.

Pipecrew is nowhere near a sales rep. Think of him more as the guy you'd hire to run your company.

There can be some very good money in it

50.........

50 clueless newbies thinking that being an affiliate rep is easy money

a rep is only as good as his or her contacts...and the ability to seal the deal

Bot?..........

No way you could have posted that fast....

Boa tarde, tranza :)

I'm posting some random crap today

Same here mate.

:winkwink:

In a bad month I make 3 million dollars. I'm only part time, and not even really a rep technically.

Yep, annoying fucking bot.

The real problem is most reps outgrow their position and are better off doing their own thing since they gained so much insight and knowledge during the process. Those few reps that are still with their original companies/sponsors I take my hat off to you - true loyaly.

The problem is the base is totally dependant on traffic still, so it's never a guaranteed thing. The real answer to this question comes back to the golden rule.... that is...to the person with all the gold.. haha

reps should only get a higher % and not a salary, they're not that important.

they make pretty much

If you really think that, you are to used to seeing reps as just board whores, icq spammers, and show junkies. Those types really bring a bad rep to being a rep in my opinion.

A good rep brings much more to the table.
Be it traffic, contacts, knowledge, experience, or just plain old grunt work. They often will go beyond just gathering new affiliates. They will also go through the stats, talk with dormant accounts. They may also design, code, write, and a wide assortment of other tasks.
Sometimes a smaller program may bring on someone with much more experience for a short or long period of time, usually on a salary or salary plus commission to help guide the ship and give them insight that could take years of hands on experience to learn.

Wow... clueless answers here....

Remember folks... A real good rep brings knowledge in many areas to the table: Traffic building, contacts, problem solving, moderate design skills, html knowledge, PR, problem solving skills, etc.

Good reps are also loyal and don't bounce around.. There are a handful that haven't left their companies in years... I am going on Year 2 with Duke Dollars and don't plan on leaving. There is a reason for loyalty and it's not because I make $1k a month.
