Earnings on affiliate marketing can reach several hundreds, thousands of dollars per month or more. Beginners often drain the budget into minus or zero for the first six months. Those who were not demotivated by failures start to earn a lot.

2022 brought a lot of instability and made planning difficult. But now the situation on the affiliate market is stabilizing, and experts are starting to make long-term plans for 2023.
