I'm a merchant and I have several affiliates promoting my lead gen websites.

I'd like to hire an affiliate manager to manage the affiliates (and affiliate networks) and recruit more affiliates.

Does anyone know the industry average for commission % and base salary?

I looked up Business Development manager salary on salary.com and it came up with 60-80k/yr.

thoughts?

50-70k/yr + 1-3% of overall affiliate revenues is pretty standard

Hello friend,

So if all affiliate make $10 million year total of revenue it mean affiliate mnager get bonus money of $300,000 to $100,000. Can live very good life with that much.

Good luck bro
 
50k-70k is pretty high for base salary especially in this economy. It depends on how much experience you are looking for. The top AMs already have big books of business so they might be doing huge numbers where they are so its unlikely to steal them away from their current gig. If you are hiring a newbie you can pay them 25-40k DOE plus commissions. If they have 200-300k a month coming in from their affiliates that's a nice commission check.

Not all networks pay off profit, some pay off overall gross revenue where additional bonuses are given if they are netting the company better margins.

The reality is that $100k per year is a pretty good paying job in a good economy in almost all markets (outside of SF, NYC and LA) for anyone not in senior management.

so lets say with a $40k base, what would be a typical commission?

10% of profit? or 1-2% of gross?
+ bonuses?
 
Shit sign me up for that shit.. as long as I am allowed to keeping doing my own thing. Florida sucks in the aspect that wages haven't come close to matching cost of living.
