Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good profit margin for affiliate marketing?
Good profit margins vary by niche and product type. Digital products typically see 40-70% net margins, while physical products might range from 15-35%. Focus on improving your margins over time rather than hitting specific numbers.
How can I improve my profit margins?
Improve margins by optimizing traffic sources, negotiating better commission rates, reducing operational costs, focusing on high-margin products, and improving conversion rates through better targeting and content.
Should I focus on gross or net profit margin?
While both are important, net profit margin gives you the clearest picture of your actual earnings. However, tracking gross margin helps identify pricing power and cost of goods efficiency.
