$30,000 Per Month in Affiliate Marketing

I came across a "hot" discussion on Digital Point's "Commission Junction" discussion board.

I found this discussion to be a very good, educational, and inspiring read, because a member with alias "Nabs" talks about how he earns $30,000 a month in affiliate marketing.

He starts by showing an image attachment of a Commission Junction screen showing an average of $30,000 per month. Nabs says that it took him a year and a half to reach that level, and he has maintained it for a year.

He then goes on to answer questions and give advice.

According to Nabs, it takes a lot of work to reach this level - more work than the average worker puts into his 9-5 job (so much for the theory that affiliate marketing is an easy way to get rich quick).

Basically, he first created a lot of high-quality blog and content sites in many niches. These sites are not monetized, and have climbed in the rankings.

Then, Nabs created over 100 niche review/store sites that have affiliate links. He sets these links to nofollow so the search engines do not penalize his sites.

He then links his content sites / blogs with the review sites, and relies mostly on organic search traffic for visitors.

His minimum earnings goal for each new review site he creates is $100 per year, but many of his sites exceed this.
