How Much Do You Make?

How much do you make each month? This is the question that is on the mind of any new member when they join Wealthy Affiliate. They want to know how many successful people are actually making it here.

Nobody wants to put forth all the effort to build sites and get them to rank when in the end it's a losing proposition. Am I Right?

Our Community often graciously shares their results. Which gives each and every one of us hope.

But What is the Potential? How Much Can You Make?

So I thought it would be kind of fun to create a little poll that anyone who wants to participate in can. It will be anonymous so you don't have to give a name or email and when I get enough data I will do a post with the results.

Take the Poll

It would be good if a great number of people especially those making a full time living at this could participate as it will give us a great map of potential.

hi Glen, I took the poll, I wish it showed me the results though after I voted. It just looks like nothing happened, it just refreshed and my answer was still there. I hope I didn't submit twice. :)

Thanks Grace,

It won't let you do it twice it reads your IP to prevent that. Thanks so much for taking the poll. I plan on sharing the results when the sample size is large enough.

I didn't want to show numbers that didn't really reflect the true value of Wealthy Affiliate.

- Glen B

Okay great, hope you get some more poll takers. :)

Just a quick update I would really like to have a good showing for you on this but we are not getting the votes I had hoped for. We also need to have some of our top earners do this poll for it to be fair.

How do I know our top earners aren't taking the poll. Well I don't but if they are taking the poll I'll be disappointed. I'm quite sure they aren't.. :-) Because I do know a few people here personally and know how much they are making.

Come On guys let's make this real!!

When you take the poll, if you consider yourself as making good money. Just pop a comment here. You don't have to say how much just say I'm making good money with WA.

Since this poll is totally anonymous I won't know who took it.

Thanks,
- Glen B

I took the poll but it said invalid data?

i made $650 in August

Thanks for that.. I'll have a look..

- Glen B

Yes, it says invalid data 1...

Which Browser are you using.. I can't replicate the error.

Thanks,
- Glen B

Google Chrome but I tried now... It's fine... It said "Thanks for the vote"

Awesome, Not sure why it didn't work before.

- Glen B

I took the poll. 5 months in, writing steadily and no returns yet and not expecting any for several more months. However I’ll be interested to see the results of others.

Keep up the good work and you will see the fruit of your time..

Me too!

- Glen B

I like the idea Glen. I am at zero and don't expect to be making money for a few months yet. I have to finish my learning before I expect to make money on a consistent basis.

Derek

Great Attitude Derek? You are right you have to build a business before you can expect it to make money.

- Glen B

Great idea Glen.
I’m at zero right now but it’s just been a couple months. My expectation is to see something by 6 months and to quit my part time job after a year (which won’t take a lot) LOL!
Hope that’s realistic.
Took the poll and looking forward to seeing the results.

KyleAnn

It's a numbers Game KyleAnn, Just keep plugging along if you can do more do more. The more you can get produced and out there the more traffic you can generate. Traffic is the key.

I looked at the poll ( which I think is a good idea) but if you could it may be a good idea to add something about how long one has been active in affiliate marketing. just a thought
tcw

Yes that is a good idea as I know we will get a lot of zero's because of the number of newbies out there.

And I know that the majority of the people who start this will quit.

But the purpose is really to see how many can really make a full time living. Regardless of their experience.

- Glen B

HI Glen,

I too like the idea of the time period also being included this will give a time vs money earned profile for example entries

10 yrs exp 15,000 monthly
9 months exp 300.00 monthly
5 yrs exp 5,500 monthly
11 months exp 400.00 monthly

That way when someone looks at the results when completed it will also give them realistic expectations if they see nine people that have been here for 9 months with various incomes ranging from 200.00 a month to 750.00 dollars a month they know if they keep a steady pace they can expect any wheres from those amounts.

It would also allow the results to be used as a guide in a sense, to see if your site is actually producing its potential if your here for 9 months and only producing 50.00 dollars a month.

Whereas everyone that polled is making more it might give you a clue you need help from someone, to see if you can find out why the difference, it could be something minor or very major but either way it will trip an a wake up alarm.

Yes I am aware that different niches and other factors go into play allowing each individual site to produce different results but as a basic guideline it could be helpful.

Calvin, that’s a great idea. I would have to start the poll over.

- Glen B

Great idea ... will look forward to seeing some results.
Dallas

Me too Dallas,

- Glen B
