Why become a rep if you make good money?
 

Seems more and more people are going to work for companies these days? Any of these guys earning 6 figures? Seems if you are doing well on your own why work full-time for someone else, unless you are just there to learn how a big progam operates and apply it to your own stuff. I would proably take a job at paycom just to look at members emails all day.

true but i think some do to learn programs, but most ppl dont make what they say they do in adult bro

you can count the number of people earning 6 figures here on one hand... so obviously they take on a job elsewhere cause they aren't earning shit themselves...

That was #3... not 50. I think you're malfunctioning.

I'm working double full time.

I think a lot of people do it to build up a repetoir of contacts.

I went to work for WEG because I was interested in learning the paysite side of the biz (I'd done nothing but free sites). I stupidly thought I could still run my freesites at the same time so I figured on a little extra added income and some knowledge. It didn't work that way because I obviously had no time to run my freesites. I made a LOT more running my own sites.

This, as in most businesses, you make more working for yourself.

bingo.A good rep is only as good as his or her contacts

Lots of people need some stability I guess...

My own simple answer is, I happen to enjoy doing affiliate support.

I think it helps to have a rep. who is an active webmaster, for obvious reasons.

My affiliate income last month was much more than my rep. income. :pimp

how much do they make on average?

$3k per month or so? Im talking about the reps / support managers who are on salary

Just more money. Hell I would.

Yeah, some people need that stabilty of steady cash and benefits.

I just make way too much to be a rep.

This is a good question and a good thread so far.

It seems like this industry is coming out of the day of having a million reps, and moving into people working for themselves.

The only reason I wasn't working for myself is because my brother owns the company, so I've worked hard, and personally sacrificed so that the company could grow and thrive, and in turn I now have a vested interest to see the business do good :winkwink: . Otherwise I never would've worked as an employee with a salary because I would've made a lot more money on my own (about 20% btw 02-04)

It's nice to have a steady paycheck, and healthcare... plus working with the crew at AFF is actually pretty fun. :) My sites make good money, but to afford a house in Cali, they simply don't bring in enough $$ - so why not do both and work my ass off while I'm still young-ish. ;)

Your salary is only part of your compensation. If as a rep you're making $100,000/year your actual compensation can be quite a bit higher when you include healthcare and other coporate perks.

I'm sure a few of them are making great money considering their base salaries are only a piece of the pie. That extra 10-20% referral a lot of them make on the webmasters they bring in should add up bigtime if they are worth their salt.

What is this thing, healthcare you speak of?

What is this thing, referral you speak of?

Did someone say $100,000 per year?

It's stability plus incentives, healthcare, bonuses not paying for shows out of your pocket, etc ...

$100k/year... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh ok

yeah, damn! that sure ain't my salary.

Doesn't everybody make at least 100,000 a year?

All my college buddies in their 30s make 100,000 plus.

Sure, if I combine my site income and my full-time-job checks... but certainly not from my just my job. I'm not in my 30's yet tho.... *fingers crossed for the 6 figures*

Yep, don't forget that just beeing a member of GFY means you make at least 50k per year so... /sarcasm

I still do sales for Phat Servers simply because I enjoy doing it. When I first started I needed the money, fortunately this position has offered me plenty of free time to do my own thing and now most of my income is from "working for myself". If I didn't enjoy working with the Phat Servers guys and our clients I would have quit a long, long time ago. Working with a client or potential client gives me a nice little break from building sites and hitting the upload key.

Really?

Seems like way to much for a rep, maybe with a good commish % & benifits.

My personal reasons:
1) Had tried/touched quite a few different areas of adult, after building a paysite with my husband, I was bored.
2) I get to work with some of the smartest, wisest and most successful marketers in the industry. They keep me busy and motivated.
3) Working for a reputable company opens up doors.
4) Working for an established company means you can learn alot from their history since they've probably tried alot of different angles of marketing of what worked and what didn't & you learn the thought process & know-how put into launching of paysites.
5) The job allows me to learn something new everyday in every level - business - personal - financial & human interraction.

I don't really consider it much as my job anymore, it's more part of my life. I get to build my brain daily, put into practice what I know, I get to help those that need it, I get to travel to meet people and see what's available/where things are heading in the industry and as an added bonus, I get very good money for it.

I guess a few people working for others might be making that much ... , some of the guys that stuck arround to a compagny for a long time and almost run it now... or guys that can run the show . Eg : Media

The average is nowhere near that...trust me on this one :2 cents:

Moose says you are the shiznit! :)

What reps make $100k a year dude
Could be less than one as far as I know

Sly is a great guy. Anyone would be lucky to have him on their team.

Translation: I am too stupid to work for myself.:1orglaugh

Patrizia is far from beeing stupid.

you are right :)

Must be it :1orglaugh

good Reps for good companies can make well over 100k a year. Usually base salary is low... 30-40k a year. Commission is where the money is at. I never made much money working for other people cause I got dicked on commissions and salary. going out on my own has been a lot better for me.

Reps are over rated....however there are a few exceptions
