How much money can I expect to make from affiliate marketing?

Question

I have been researching affiliate marketing as an option to add some extra revenue streams to my business. I run a website with relatively high traffic volumes.

I have read up a lot about the ways in which you are rewarded for using affiliate marketing whether it be CPC, CPL or CPS.

What I want to know is realistically how much I could expect to earn per click or action.

Say it was based on CPC, how much could I expect to earn for one click?

Say it was based on CPL how much could I expect to earn for each action?

Say it was based on CPS how much could I expect to earn for each sale generated?

Now I understand this varies greatly but could someone give me ballpark figures or two extremes like between £0.20 - £50.00 per sale for instance. I would really like to know the revenue per click, action or sale as oppossed to 'you could make '£4million in a week' because this will allow me to gauge potential earnings better.

Cheers

Typically, a cost per click program (like google adsense) will pay between $0.10 and $1.00 per click. There are higher paying clicks, but those are really competitive and take a long time to get a page ranked to even get traffic. Cost per lead programs are my personal favorite, because you get paid when someone just signs up as a lead. The end customer does not spend anything, but you get money. Typically, these will pay between $0.10 and $20 per lead (again, it varies greatly). As for cost per sale, that is a while guess as well.

Best place to start is to look at places like clickbank, and commission junction to look at what each affiliate program pays.

I have found success in everything except cost per click, and there is more information on how to get started in affiliate marketing at http://www.squidoo.com/legitimate-home-b...
