1st month earning $27k+ in affiliate commissions

I was paid $27,399 in affiliate commissions in May, as reported here: https://ebizfacts.com/finance-reports/may-2021/

That surpassed my previous high of $21,641 last December and up from $17,713 in April.

I started into affiliate marketing back in 2018 and this has been my progress...

Affiliate income progress

As you can see, income is trending upwards in general but it's a bit unpredictable from one month to the next. This is mainly due to some affiliates paying on an irregular schedule.

Including other sources of income, my business earned $27,683 in May, which is the most it has ever earned in a single month.

Expenses were $5,106. Which leaves a profit of $22,577 for the month, also a new high 🥳

    Wow congrats @ndoherty13

    What are your expenses to run or advertise eBiz Facts?

    Does your email list have a huge impact in your revenue?

    Wish you the best 👏🏾

      Thanks!

      Expenses last month were $5,106. The majority of that ($3,499) was for contractors who I hire to help me out with various things. You can see a full breakdown of expenses in the monthly report on my site: https://ebizfacts.com/finance-reports/may-2021/

      As for the email list, it's hard to measure how much impact that has because as an affiliate marketer I don't control the entire "funnel." But I would say at least 80% of my revenue comes from SEO. I keep doing the weekly newsletter more as a way to build my own audience and not be so dependent on Google rankings in future.

    This is awesome! Congrats!

    How is your revenue spread across offers? I mean, is the majority made from one or couple of offers or is it all more or less evenly spread?

      I decided when I started doing affiliate marketing not to share how much I earn from each offer. I can't see any good coming from that. It can only invite competition and/or criticism if one or two offers make up the bulk of my commissions.

      So the most I do each month is share a list of all the products that I earned commissions through. You can see the list for last month here, 17 different products in total: https://ebizfacts.com/finance-reports/may-2021/
