A 21 Yr Old Underground Singaporean Marketer Reveals How He Makes 5 Figure Income In Affiliate Marketing

I am a 21 year old Singaporean and I have been making a 5 figure income purely with affiliate marketing. Now, I don't want to sound like some sort of silver-tongued grifter or salesman but it's true--the numbers back me up. For one thing, the average paycheck in Singapore is around $4k (earnings from company). It's hard to find work so you feel lucky if you get anything at all! I always heard about these people who make bank online through affiliate marketing but never thought that it would be possible for me.

And then...I learned about the internet...

I can't tell you how much exactly I earn because I don't think it's important. It's enough for me to do whatever I want--travel, party, shop, donate to charities or even save for a home. It's also a lot of fun because it's real people doing business with each other. You won't believe how much commitment and dedication is necessary to be the top earner in your niche.

In fact, I have no interest in being so high up there (although it can be useful in case you need some fallback money). I just like the challenge and the competition of being able to beat anyone at anything--and with more money comes bigger challenges.

I'm going to break down the basics of how you can start making a nice supplemental income or even a living.

This is my average monthly earnings breakdown:

$3,000-$3000 in product sales (this is generated completely passive, meaning I never have to sell anything else again once my site gets off the ground) $1500-$2000 from affiliate marketing $500 from various side projects/lessons I teach

Now, these are just very basic numbers but you get the idea. If you want bigger numbers, then you'll have to work for it. There's a ton of tools out there to help you get started, but I think the best place to start is  www.earnhautizo.com . It's like the Microsoft of internet marketing in Asia--hundreds of trainers and thousands of students. It's a crazy amount of grinding but it works.

I'll answer any questions I can about making money online in the comments. If you want more information, then check out my site  www.johnchow.com .

Good luck with whatever you do! This is a market that never stops growing, so if you get in now, it's never too late to start making money!

I used to work as an affiliate marketer and this article is very misleading. Making affiliate income is going to be difficult unless you have something special that no one else has--a name brand or a niche site (also called authority site). Have a look at the top earning affiliate marketers. http://www.afftracktracker.com/top100/index.php?filter=%2F . To use a niche site example, if you are an online marketing guru, then you can make a site (the authority site) and sell ebooks, relevant products and affiliate products based on your niche. You can also have your visitors submit their email address to get updates on your latest work--another way to capture leads for your business. If you think it's easy to create an authority site and make money from it, think again... Reply Delete

I don't know much about affiliate marketing but i think that you could try Adsense as well (Google's advertising program). I have never done it before but you could see how much money it makes on the site. And if you think it is the best way to make money from home, then it's time to think again (that'll be your only concern and money will disappear from your mind)... Reply Delete

I have not done affiliate marketing for a long time and I know some people who are making okay earning. But I also know people who are making more than $200,000 a year. The market is booming right now and there is a lot of competition out there, but with great work ethic you can do pretty well. I would recommend you to check out this guy's earning report and see what he is doing. http://moz.com/blog/20-million-month/ Reply Delete
