Spoiler Alert: I'm going to be brutally honest with you guys here. You're all my Wealthy Affliate family, so there is NO sugar coating here of any sort...

Alright, here we go.

In my opinion, there are SIX earning brackets in this industry:

#1) Total NOOB (Beginner Affiliate) – Making $0 or close to it.
#2) Low-Level Affiliate – $0/day up to $100/day. (90-95% of Affiliates stay in this bracket because they don't learn the valuable information needed to progress to the next level.)
#3) Intermediate Affiliate – $100/day up to $500/day.
#4) High Level Affiliate – $500/ day up to $5000/day.
#5) Expert Affiliate - Anything above $5000/day.
#6) The ‘DOMINANT’ Affiliate – He who considers anything less than $10,000/day to be ‘incorrect’.

SO... Which earning bracket do you dream of being in?

Affiliate Marketers, like salesman, make as much as they want to make! The sky really is the limit!

A lot of people choose to succeed, but only to a certain extent. You can absolutely become a millionaire in this business, but only with extremely hard work and dedication.

Here is a useful Life tip for you, a tip that changed my life: You will never get rich working for someone else.

Just because you are working for yourself, though, doesn't mean you'll get rich. You have to make the right decisions.

Typically, this is the (mild) sucess story of Affiliate Marketing you hear over and over...

Someone who works an average $30K, 9-5 job decides they wanna quit their job...

They get into affiliate marketing, find some success in affiliate marketing, work their way up to $30K per year, and then stay at that level for the next ten years...

WHY !?!?!

It is OK to be happy earning $30K in affiliate marketing, but to me that seems like such a massive waste of untapped potential.

With affiliate marketing, the sky is truly the limit!

The only limitations are the ones your place on yourself. Limits are entirely self imposed. They are an illusion... You MUST understand this!!!

You can make 40K per year, you can make 40K per month, or you can make 40K per week! Heck, I have seen pro affiliate marketers who rake in 10K per DAY.

In case you're bad at math, 10k per day equals $3,650,000 per year.

That's right, affiliate marketers have websites that are working for them 24/7/365 days of the week... Even when they are ASLEEP!

They make 10K + per day, therefore their salary is 3.65 MILLION DOLLARS!

Furthermore, I am absolutely sure there are affiliate marketers out there making way way more than that.

It's insane. You really can become a multimillionaire with Affiliate Marketing. So then, why don't most people? Because they choose to remain average.

Here's a quick fact for you: The Average SUCESSFUL Full time Affiliate Marketer Earns $55,786... (OK. I just made that number up... but let's assume it's true)

To me, this number is NOTHING when compared to the POTENTIAL of what an affiliate marketer can choose to make per year.

Here's a quick illustration...

Let's says we have two guys, Bob and Jason. Now, Bob works as a store manager, and he earns 60K per year. He makes pretty good money, but not great money.

Bob likes his job, but he still sometimes hates getting up so early in the morning for work.

I mean, Bob has to be in the store bright in the morning to manage his employees after all. Sometimes he wonders if all the day to day responsibilities of his job are really worth it.

On the other hand, we have Jason..

Now, Jason is kind of a lazy guy. He likes spending his time by the pool, drinking rum and cokes and playing in his band at the local tiki bar every other night.

The thing is, Jason earns the same amount of money as Bob. They both earn 60K. What's the difference then?

Jason is an affiliate marketer who works from his computer. He has no boss. He has no "hours" or timeclock. He has no employees and no possibility of being fired if he didn't perform his job.

You see, Jason is his own man.

Jason runs his own online business. Bob is not. Bob might be a manager, but he is a slave to the store.

Bob has no control over his boss, he has no control over when his office closes, and he has no control over how much money he earns. He is not in charge, and therefor he does not have control over his life.

Bob is stuck in a prison of his own choosing, and Jason is living in a creation of his own choosing. The only difference is Jason is free and bob is not.

Bob's stuck with a 60K per year salary, while Jason could choose to earn $2,000,000 or more if he wanted to.

Very early on in my life I decided not to be like Bob.

I always wanted to be a Jason. I always wanted financial freedom.

I want to be able to leave work whenever the heck I want to. I don't a boss micromanaging me and breathing down my neck to meet a deadline. Screw that. I am my own boss.

Then, I decided to take it even further than Jason...

While freedom is amazing and is definitely my primary reason for creating my own online business, I didn't want to stop there.

Unlike Jason, I want to figure out how to get to the Top Earning Bracket of Affiliate Marketers. It is this exact hunger-based mentality you need to thrive in this business and come out on top.

The 6 price brackets I showed you in the beginning of this post are always on my mind. I spend my time figuring out how to jump up to the next bracket.

The way I see it, other people do it every day, so why can't I? Even more important, if I, Koda, can do it, then why not you?

If you are tired of being an employee, and want to start being the CEO of your own online company, check out my blog, do a lot studying for yourself, and you'll definitely be wiser and one step closer than you were yesterday.

Remember, take it one step at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself, and more importantly, don't ever become discouraged. You can choose to make a great living if you really want to.

One Final Question: How bad do you want to be in the top 1% of salaries in the population?

Peace out, my wealthy affiliate family! :D
Much love.
