How much do poker affiliates make? This is a question i get asked all the time. It depends on how hard you work! If you work hard at anything you should do well. There are variables that can affect incomes of any profession. You can see this example in the sub-prime mortgage crisis going on right now. The mortgage collapse happened because of a number of things. Poker affiliates on the other hand, have been affected by the laws imposed by our “government”. I try not to just rely on poker affiliate income. I buy and sell domains, sell advertising, and I have a poker content writing service now. I’m not the writer, I have writers to do it. There are two ways to make money as a poker affiliate:

CPA - cost per acquisition. This means means you sign up as a poker affiliate to earn money just upon sign up or conversion of a depositing poker player.

REV Share - Revenue Share is when you earn 20% (or much more) of the rake revenue of a poker sign up.

If you chose Rev share and your players don’t play at all, your not going to make money. My income was affected by this with the deposit money for USA player trouble and poker laws. But now Full Tilt Poker has a direct deposit E check for your players.

I always stayed away from CPA because I didn’t want to sign up a whale and miss out on earning tons of revenue on that player. The fact is you can make thousand every month depending on how many sign ups your get. It also depends on whether you offer rake back or not. You can make upwards of 2k a player per month if they play 4 tables every day of 5/10 NL or limit. This would be considered a whale. Most players you will make $20 - $120 every month.
