Illustrative — actual earnings vary by audience and brand.

How gaming & streaming affiliate earnings are calculated: impressions times click-through rate gives clicks, clicks times conversion rate gives sales, sales times average order value gives referred revenue, and referred revenue times the commission rate gives gross commission. Gaming & streaming programs commonly pay 5–20% per sale; hardware bundles add up fast, and gaming creators reach audiences mainly on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok. Every figure in the diagram is a worked illustration, not a measured result.
Earnings per click — gross commission divided by clicks — is the one number that compares two gaming programs honestly, because it folds the rate, the order value and the conversion rate together.

How gaming creators make money with affiliate marketing

Codes dropped mid-stream that no one tracks, so you never see the revenue you actually generated. Afflio fixes that: join gaming & streaming brand programs from one marketplace, get a tracked link and promo code for each, and every sale you drive is attributed and paid automatically. You promote on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok the way you already do — Afflio handles the tracking and the payout.
