To start off, you’ll most likely make a few hundred dollars in the first couple of months. But once your audience grows (i.e. blog traffic, viewers, subscribers and so on), your sales will reflect that and continue to grow. Some bloggers and affiliate marketers make tens of thousands of dollars every month from affiliate sales – but it takes a while to get to that stage and only the best and the ones that put in the work will get to that point.

Another important thing to look at when choosing affiliate programs is competition. How many people are already selling the product? If the market seems overly saturated and the brand doesn't seem large enough to support the drive for so many sales, you're probably better off picking another option.

Even things as simple as adding an affiliate disclosure to avoid legal issues is important.
Amazon, the world's largest eCommerce company that also runs the biggest affiliate program, has more than 100 million products listed across hundreds of categories.
