How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutPublished: "Commissions up to 10% by category" | 10% | Platform data |
| Days before money can be withdrawnPublished: "About 60 days after the end of the month earned" | 60 d | Platform data |
| Minimum payoutPublished: "$10 via direct deposit or gift card, $100 via check" | $10 | Platform data |
| Buyer or advertiser pays per click | $0.06 | Assumed |
| Clicks per piece of work per month at the startMost pieces earn little; a rare one takes off. | 120 | Assumed |
| Chance a new piece becomes a hit (x10) | 4% | Assumed |

A simplified simulation based on Amazon Associates’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Amazon Associates’s current rules.
