Ken: "For an affiliate manager for one of the larger companies... 45k and up"

That´s reality? Pretty low..

Hi Doug,

Just wanted to let you know that I haven't missed an Adult Insight Episode since you've been posting them. This was a great idea that gives those looking from the outside in or those considering entering the business some real world information from those that have experienced the industry as well as live in it every day.

Outstanding series that I recommend to anyone that wants to know some of the REALITY of the business and not all the HYPE!

Nice work Doug

I think I was earning about 35k + joins when I was working as a rep. It really depends on the company... and location, I would think.

hahaha, props to Crazyshit Jay for his awesome insights!

**Rochard** · 04-23-2008, 08:57 AM

Very nicely done Doug!

**tony286** · 04-23-2008, 09:08 AM

Very nicely done

I could see 45k it maybe be cool adult but at the end of the day its a corporate job. I bet google has a shitload of managers making 45k.

**PantieZ** · 04-23-2008, 09:19 AM

Another good video

Thx

**Dwreck** · 04-23-2008, 09:20 AM

Hey Doug I really enjoy those episodes, i learn alot from my fellow peers.

I cant even remember what I said back when I did that and I always find it interesting to hear my own replies hahaha

**PPC** · 04-23-2008, 09:21 AM

Great video.. Now I'll be trying to watch all previous webisodes.

Not low at all really. Im sure you would be shocked to see the profit margin for most of the proggies on this board. Much lower than they make out.

**Wizzo** · 04-23-2008, 09:30 AM

I think you should make Dwreck go topless in them, but other than that.... GoodStuff!

**fuhkinglou** · 04-23-2008, 09:53 AM

Nice video. Although the first 3 mins are people just saying "man... I don't know... a lot or a little?" That is pretty accurate sadly. You just never know. In the IRC room I hang out in I've seen so many people come in and try to re-invent the wheel for their first site instead of just using wordpress or buying babelogger or something that already exists. They never last. Or they quit when they don't make $$ in the first month.

The last three mins were interesting for me as an affiliate because I've been considering going to a conference but I've heard that low-end affiliates don't get a lot of love. They may get a t-shirt or two. Hell, I like t-shirts I can't wear in public as much as the next guy. What's there to do at the conferences for the little guy?

**GetSCORECash** · 04-23-2008, 09:53 AM

Great video, thanks for the information.

**Zorgman** · 04-23-2008, 09:55 AM

Thanks for that. Gives me an insight into whats going on in the industry on a number of different levels.

Well done, keep them coming.

**Kroy** · 04-23-2008, 10:09 AM

As a video producer I have to say big KUDOS to your video team. Very well done, very professional. Great job!

**jmk** · 04-23-2008, 10:17 AM

That's what I was thinking... conferences can be $$$, especially if you include the mini-bar

That's true... a lot of people don't know how much you can make. There are just so many factors, but it's good to hear others confirm that it's not an easy road to money... at least not any more. There were some other interesting answers to this same question in the first episode we did.

And I don't know how much truth there is to smaller affiliates not getting enough out of conferences. At the smaller shows you get tons of face time if you want it. You may not get invited out to a dinner or have a sponsor keep a t-shirt aside for you, but shows should never be about that, anyway, right? And there's plenty of years to get invited to dinners/parties down the line.

The video team says thanks ;) I knew all those extra hours learning different aspects of production would pay off... I just never thought it would all come together for adult!
