These aren't official numbers, and I don't have a list of "highest paid affiliates" right in front of me, but there are many affiliates who make several hundred dollars a month in commissions (the range I'm considering here is about $250-400+). A lot more affiliates make under $250/month but still get paid out pretty regularly. There's a lot of variety, but people make significant money with our program. (Of course, "significant" is a relative term, but to me, a hundred bucks a month is significant)

And some affiliates have more than one affiliate account and make a lot on each individual account. Having more than one affiliate account is totally fine and we encourage affiliates to set up accounts as they need/want them. Just don't go Eden-point-farming with the accounts.

Ditto.

Hi vanillafree,
The effort you put into your affiliate actions is definitely related to your commission. If you are active, gaining followers, posting content people want to see/read/share, and interacting with people, then I'd bet your numbers would improve (in both traffic and commissions). I can't make guarantees, of course.

From personal experience, I can say that it took me a little while to get going with steady readers on my blog, but my commissions have increased, and I can see a relationship between my efforts and my affiliate stats. So, keep at it, and you'll get people.

very true!

it's over a year later and in the last 3 months it has started really paying off. i've picked up new habits and routines that are working very well.
