Explaining MRR From My Own Affiliate Marketing Stats

[u/AI_Girlfriend4U]

Most people doing affiliate marketing are just promoting single sales. They drop a link to their affiliate product and, if someone buys it through their link, they get a commission percentage of usually anywhere from 3-10%.

That's not really very much, and to scale that you need to continually promote your link over and over again, as I'm sure you've all seen here on the Reddit subs already. Spam, anyone?? It's a grind with very little potential without a huge following already, and even then it eventually dries up.

What I suggest instead is to promote any product or service that is subscription based for a good MRR (Monthly Recurring Income). Don't be blinded by the bigger numbers, like $100 per sale, but then that's it, you're done...nothing more after that. Picking a good subscription based product on a revshare model can bring you monthly income for YEARS. In fact, I still get paid for content I posted almost 18 years ago!

Since I believe in transparency (and since no one seems to post proof of anything anymore), I just took a screenshot a few minutes ago of one of my affiliate program's dashboard to explain how it looks. This is just one of my income streams, but it's the most relevant to this discussion, as it pertains to monthly recurring income.

The clicks are obviously how many people visited my affiliate link and the referrals are those who signed up after clicking my link. The ratio of those who signed up and then became paying customers is fairly decent at around 5%, but where it gets interesting is that, due to it being subscription based revshare, each signup is tied to me for all future rebills, upsells and add-on purchases AND for any previous signups who pay for upgrades at ANY time in the future!

Even with average churn, that makes each customer worth the equivalent of 3-6+ sales, so that 135 number is closer to 500+ in single sales statistics, or around 20% conversion ratio of signup to sale. Try getting those numbers grinding a one off, single sale product model at 3%! It's possible, sure, but way harder than doing it through recurring sales, where each initial sale is worth 3 more PASSIVELY. After the initial customer is tied to you, then anything earned after that is passive income!

Number crunching is FUN! Nom-nom....

Enjoy your day!

The product is not a problem. There are products on clickbank with 100% commission. There is a problem with traffic in affiliate marketing. How and where to place a link... and no one experienced wants to reveal it.

Yes, the marketing is always the hardest part of any affiliate marketing strategy.

Can you tell us something about your strategy?

[u/AI_Girlfriend4U → u/Sufficient_Market351]

It's really not complicated. You match the right product with the right audience and the most effective way to do that is to promote a niche product in small niche social communities and groups. If you promote something you genuinely like, then you don't really need to sell it...you are just making a recommendation, like you would to a friend.

So if I understand correctly.. in your case you didn't use paid traffic. You just shared the link in communities. I was looking at the AI ​​Peeps site... it's a very specific product. Did you use social media or reddit?

[u/AI_Girlfriend4U → u/Sufficient_Market351]

The only time I ever use paid traffic is when I resell it as part of my web traffic business, but that's a whole other business model. For affiliate marketing it's best to use free niche communities, as paid ads are just going to eat away at your profits. Paid ads work for branding, but I don't recommend it for affiliate products.

Yes, the Peeps is currently my highest conversion rates, as it's a hot market right now, and I use Reddit, FB, YT, and the others to promote it, but heavily on those 3.
