What are Affiliate Managers Earning?
On July 29th 2005 you answered a question with regard to compensating an affiliate manager. How different are those numbers now?
The post from July 2005Â was based on the AffStat 2005 Report. In that report, I asked the affiliate managers, “What is your annual salary (including incentives and bonuses)?”. The results were as follows.
| Less than $40k | 21% |
| $40k to $50k | 14% |
| $50k to $60k | 12% |
| $60k to $70k | 6% |
| $70k to $80k | 13% |
| $80k to $90k | 8% |
| $90k to $100k | 6% |
| $100k to $110k | 4% |
| $110k to $120k | 6% |
| More than $120k | 10% |
The latest AffStat report had a bit of a different methodology for affiliate manager earnings. This time around, I broke out the data for affiliate managers earning a salary and outsourced affiliate managers working on retainer.
The salaried affiliate manager figures came out as follows for the AffStat 2007 Report. The salaries include any incentives and/or bonuses received by the affiliate managers.
| Less than $40k | 24% |
| $40k to $50k | 24% |
| $50k to $60k | 11% |
| $60k to $70k | 3% |
| $70k to $80k | 12% |
| $80k to $90k | 2% |
| $90k to $100k | 10% |
| $100k to $120k | 4% |
| More than $120k | 10% |
Outsourced affiliate managers earned the following in monthly compensation. These figures include a percent of transactions if applicable.
| < $2k | 13% |
| $2k to $4k | 17% |
| $4k to $6k | 22% |
| $6k to $8k | 13% |
| $8k to $10k | 4% |
| > $10k | 31% |
