I came accross this ad network and low and behold i see top earners of the previous month

1st position: 120,047.00

WTF!

2nd position was far behind. around almost 20k / month.

Now that dude who is making 1.5 mills a year. I wonder how much money he has to PUT IN into advertising to pull out 120k of profits.

I also wonder how much management overhead he has to make sure everything runs smoothly and he stops campaigns that turn unprofitable quickly. Do these guys hire people? ( must not be easy, as soon as said employee see how much money the guy is making and by then he knows how, they'll leave )

Anyways, it made me think.

If you saw the top earners for a cpa network, it would be a lot higher. But, if you want to drool over MoreNiche, then have fun.

I am aware that some people make more. But it just hit me right then.

I mean think about it. There is a delay between earning the money and receiving it, then transfer it back to your credit card to pay for adwords... so to get things rolling, you need some really deep pockets.

It also got me thinking, what are practical ways of division of labor, say if you want to do this in a small team ( and you trust each other of course )

Yes, and they come in cute boxes.

Well, 120k/ month will be my first goal. Once I reach it, I'll let you guys know, and then set another goal

Don't forget, there are a LOT of corporate affiliates out there, not just one-person shops.

I mean, Jellyfish.com was a corporate affiliate (I think they had like 12 employees) when they got bought out by Microsoft for $50 Million. Think about how much their affiliate earnings must've been to justify a $50M pricetag. Even if you value Jellyfish @ 20x earnings, you're still talking about $2.5M in affiliate commissions last year.

Anyways... Moral of the story is that don't think even most of a networks earnings come from young guys smoking weed and building scrapers.

Moreniche themselves said on the forum that it was a reporting error.

Highest payout so far has been 80k
