The short answer is yes.

Lots of people are making huge money as affiliate marketers. You may recognize some of these successful entrepreneurs.

• Neil Patel
• Tony Robbins
• Tai Lopez
• Pat Flynn
• Brent Hale
• Amy Porterfield
• Mike Dillard
• Tim Ferriss

These are heavy hitters and big online marketing entrepreneurs but for every one of these millionaire entrepreneurs, there are thousands of people just like you earning some extra spending cash or a comfortable income to live on working a few hours a week.

It is possible and realistic to make $50,000 to $100,000 per year doing this. Does everyone that tries affiliate marketing make this level of money? The unfortunate truth is No.

The harsh reality is that most people don’t put in the time and effort needed to stick it out.

Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes a lot of work and commitment and should be looked at like any other business. When done right, your income potential is only limited by your strategies and tactics for promoting products on the global market.

With that much money & people: Why do so many people fail at Affiliate Marketing?

Yes, the failure rate for affiliate marketers is high. I read recently that; “95% of Internet marketers and affiliate marketers fail to make any money online.”

That’s not the most comforting but, don’t let it get you down.

Too many people try and take the easy way, fail and quit because affiliate marketing is not the get rich quick scheme they thought it was. If you are willing to be constantly learning, do the work, and you think you can promote and sell products around a niche subject or topic then affiliate marketing is probably for you.

There are many people making millions of dollars both as product creators and affiliate marketers. However, this is not typical.

It is entirely possible to make a 5 figure income and even 6 figure income if you get the right knowledge and skills, focus your time and energy and accept that building an income online with affiliate marketing takes time and perseverance through many challenges and difficulties.

You can do it. Just get started and keep moving forward.
