Serious Question: What are experienced affiliate managers earning these days?
 

Base + Commission? or just Base?

Benefits?

What are companies offering experienced affiliate managers these days?

Pay range?

Trolls and mommy's basement (command center) dorks need not respond.

Thanks!

bump for senor pimpporn

I bet it varies drastically depending on which program, country

and I doubt anyone is going to tell you what they make or pay their people.

Bout 8-10 an hour, depending where the office is based. Some benefits depending on how the management votes, but don't expect dental. A cut in very rare cases of outstanding aff managers - basically this means they do other things, and well.

How'd I do ?

You described the basement warrior affiliate.

Not someone who works for Platinum, Twistys, Silvercash, etc.

are you talking lagwagon experience or hang out at gfy/icq experience?

I dunno that the basement warrior actually makes anything other than drinks, the occasional hotel stay and other fringe.

You're to stupid for anyone to pay attention to what you say. :2 cents:

I would guess not much at all, most probably do less than 50k/year... but someone who is really good, has great connections, can bring in whales, etc, could easily do 100k+....

Which explains why I have a tail of followers five miles long. All sorts of people, russians, americans, professional trolls, allienquesque hyperactive idiots, happily married burgeois, you name it. And more add themselves every day, such as for instance, you.

Which I suppose does prove I'm not all that smart, the really smart people manage to pass completely unnoticed here.

Don't kid yourself.

I'm not here to follow you. I'm here to point out your stupidity as to not confuse the genuine.

So are you gonna answer the question why you don't deal with CCBill? or is it hey wont deal with you?

good affiliate managers who can bring in good affiliates can make a lot, those arent very common though.

Affiliate manager or sales rep? There's a difference.

A good quality affiliate manager, one who manages the entire program, manages designers, understands the industry, coordinates all affiliate tools, handles affiliate needs well, attracts solid producing affiliates, responds to their needs in a timely manner and keeps them happy, one who is able to implement ideas....a true affiliate manager who dedicates themselves to the entire program and not just one piece of the program, will make well over 100k/year. :thumbsup

But, as beemk said, there aren't many of them. You find one like I described above and you find a way to make him happy cuz a good affiliate manager more than pays for himself.

A lofty, if foolish goal. Fitting for the misdirected.

Not so hot on reading comprehension either, I take it.

I'm asking 30% of profit for carrying about everything. 8)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Bump for a serious question!

And someone truly capable of doing all that and willing to invest the time and energy needed to do all that.... what would they make as their own boss? :pimp

5k a month

it's a small group of them that make a six figure salary - bet less than 10

Standard affiliate rep makes 10%. A "star" will make more.

So if you're paying $35 per signup to webmasters, then you're going to pay your affiliate rep $3.5 or so per join that their accounts bring in.

So, if you're asking because you want to be an affiliate rep, then ask yourself how many daily joins will you bring to the table with your contact list?
If you want to hire an affiliate rep, then the 10% is a good number to use for budgeting purposes.

Of course not all reps make straight commission, some of their pay plans are very complex, with a base salary, bonuses, benefits, etc etc....BUT, at the end of the day, the total cost to their employer is not going to stray too far away from that 10% that they bring in, or else the relationship is going to end (either because the rep is being underpaid and leaves, or because they're being overpaid and get fired)

If you asked this question to get an answer like "3K per month" then you asked the wrong question...it's like asking "how much does a car salesman make" or something like that. Some are making a friggin killing, others are starving.

Great info here, thanks for this thread - your local troll in a basement (not really )

Everyone that responds to you is a follower? :1orglaugh

That's pretty god damned stupid since many offer a 10% webmaster referral anyhow. By your logic I could set up as an independent rep and make more than most that are hired. If companies are running like this then lol but I don't believe it.

Yeah, you're right, I don't know what I'm talking about....you, the guy who has been here since April, you're the one who has it all figured out.

dude are you new?

You get 10 % of the affiliates you manage, not just the ones you bring...
