I'm going to update my first 1,000 days to become a super aff, with real numbers
Who knows if after 1,000 days of work I'll be making $100K/day or $10/day,
I'm going to show the real path to becoming an affiliate, not dopamine stuff
inspired by
@SithAffiliate
and
@nightscaler

DAY 98
First $1K profit day
I should be happy, but this camp has the potential to 30x that.
I want to dry it so hard until I can get any more dollars.
Issue right now is accounts limits, but pretty ez to fix

It's crazy how your mindset changes when you win
You see opportunities everywhere and things seem so easy
Jordan Peterson wrote something about this and related it to the behavior of locusts
I'm not going to get distracted, keep printing.

Today was my first $100 profit day with aff
To be honest, I'm feeling a little anxious to scale this and not fuck it up

DAY 133
Last month I made about $12K profit with aff
and my "stable" income is about $4K
how much aff money would I need to completely stop or delegate my freelance work and become a full time affiliate?
Feeling like im spreading my energy too thin

DAY 100
The metrics are super healthy
I've partnered with a guy who has helped me a lot from the beginning to scale this offer
Not only will it allow me to push this harder, but I'm going to learn a lot in the process
grateful for this journey

DAY 96
Found a +500% ROI campaign
will I make a million? will stop working tomorrow?
don't know and don't care
time to fight the bans,
luckily i bet no one will rip this campaign.
It's not where everyone is looking 👀.

DAY 102
Having a winning campaign makes everything seem so easy
Why is no one doing this?
I guess this vision is as far from reality as thinking that nothing is going to work.
Where I’ve also been
The conclusion is to put aside your emotions,
Act as if you were playing the

DAY 95
Many people talk about saturated affiliate verticals these days.
I don’t think so
Sweeps, nutra, adult... these verticals are HUGE and will be here forever
But the angles can be saturated.
Shein gift card ads or the blanks of dropshipping products can be saturated

DAY 84
my main income comes from freelance media buyer
and today i closed a deal for 15% revenue for a cbd brand
client pays for adspend + full time creator ugc
it's a perfect mix between the two worlds i'm working in now

so deep in the trenches right now,
Working as if my life's on the line
I can't sleep
I need to launch new campaigns.
Can't afford to waste any time here.

DAY 101
It took me 100 days to find a winning campaign.
I wonder how long it will take me to find the next campaign.
But for the moment, I want to make a small fortune with this.

DAY 91
I have realized that a large part of affiliate marketing is connections
Honestly, it’s not what I enjoyed the most
But I’ve met some great people
And I have to confess that the information they give me is invaluable.
If you’re starting out, don’t sleep on this

DAY 69
my dopamine receptors are fried
I could have 100k profit days and not feel a thing
trench mode is what it's all about
I need to push a little harder

DAY 114
To all the newbies who ask me for advice:
(i) I won't tell you what's working, if it's printing me money I'm not going to share it with you
(ii) I am a newbie too. I've only been making some money for the last few weeks. Please, ask someone better than me...

DAY 46
I reached 500 followers, I don't really care about the number of followers.
For me this is like a diary, but I've made some good connections, so I want to share something with you all

DAY 150
My (first) winning campaign has stopped working
And this is a message for me in the future:
Don’t feel comfortable, spend 10 minutes grateful for the campaign and then continue working on new tests and new angles/offers
Nothing is forever.

Thanks for that thief,
I've got to go harder

I have a bizarre idea for free traffic
80 % chances it will not work
but if it works
8 hungry jeets can scale it to $1-2K per day ez

DAY 94
wake up,
spend a few hours procrastinating,
can't keep my concentration,
the sun goes down,
I'm a razor,
I work without moving a muscle
I've lost the sense of time
I realize I just WORK without the sunlight
Black room for black things

DAY 77
Tiktok Ads is a bad bitch
when it works you can get extremely cheap quality traffic
but bans are exaggerated
you can get banned for breathing
if anyone has any secret sauce I'm open

DAY 85
results of the last few weeks have been the worst since I started
shiny object syndrome hitting hard
seeing opportunities everywhere but in my niche
in the past I would have fallen
but not now
just keep going

DAY 37
After the suspension of the ad account I moved to FB and things are working better than TT.
I have a $25/day limit, but have already purchased an unlimited BM
Let's add some zeros

DAY 78
i judge myself too much,
i'm going to start not thinking, and just do things,
most of the time I overcomplicate things,
i need to test more and better

DAY 86
Found this video
And I realize that I need to push harder.
To be honest, I’m performing at my 15%
There are so many things I want to try.
But my inputs are limited.
I need to go deeper

DAY 79
there's so much noise out there
people making things look ez
shinny object sindrome hitting hard
only gonna listen to 1-2 people doing better than me

As

DAY 76
Today I want to mention
@peterkell_
Feeling that something amazing is about to happen.
Every day I understand a little more about this game.
I only know 0.01%
But I’m progressing.
The compound effect will take action soon.

DAY 112
hey hey im back
Quick update on my last few days:
I partnered with a guy to scale an offer, but the cash flow kind of killed us, so looking for better terms.
This offer prints (like crazy), but I'd like to know if it's just luck or can I replicate it

An unproductive day is much worse than losing money
Today I have been unproductive.
I would have preferred to lose 500 dollars.
But the nightmare mode may be coming.
I’ve been chosen

DAY 74
Sometimes I wonder what the difference is between the affiliates who make a 6-7-figure day and me
It’s not a positive thought.
But I wonder if I’m missing something.
Something I don’t see
Or I’m on the right path and it’s a matter of time.

DAY 57
Ive joined one of the most secret networks in space.
No website, boring name, only referrals , no social media
But they can increase my EPC by 50% -100%
Time will tell if it’s true.

Bans have arrived
But im in the trenches
I'm rebuilding everything and coming back
I've felt the gold in my hands

DAY 105
Things are going well,
But I’m going to be off Twitter for the next 5 days
It’s the nightmare mode,
Much harder than trenches
Just one goal, configure the system to scale the campaigns like a demon
And I need silence and zero distractions.

DAY 83
Today I checked my finances.
And shit, I should do it more often.
I need to reduce my test budget.
I’ve been putting up with a bad streak for weeks
But I’m going my way,
this must be the delayed gratification

DAY 88
The good thing about having bad results for a long time
It’s just that when you find something that remotely works, it feels like heaven
Yesterday was the first profitable day in a long time,

DAY 48
I spent hard today (for me atm), about $500
But didn’t check the comments
And Karen was there
Shitty conversion rate
But fixed for tomorrow

I think things are going to change in the near future.
I feel focused and motivated. This path is for me.

My traffic have finally been approved by the network, payout are coming
That means next week I'm going to scale to $200-$300 per day
small numbers but a big step

DAY 113
I thought that finding a winning campaign was the final part in affiliate marketing.
Guess what...
Having a winning campaign is just the beginning.
There are a lot of new problems,
cash flow, suspensions, limits...
But shit, I love these problems.

DAY 34
Ad account suspended, my fault for not having more ad accounts ready to use.
It won't happen again, I'm ready by warming up 5 ad accounts.

DAY 1
I tested a landing page with 4 different offers.
The results are far from profitable
I'll take the best offer and add new GEOs to reduce CPM and improve the conversion rate
Honestly, I think this offer is quite difficult to work with FB Ads

is Tiktok running greyhat ads for themselves?

I've had no dopamine-producing results for a long time now.
It's like being in some kind of tunnel where I can only go forward.

I'm just starting out as aff
but I've come to realize this game is more about finding methods to find cheap traffic than making super ads like it can be on ecom

DAY 67
These are my first days in affiliate marketing
Ngl, last days have been tough,
There are negative thoughts in my mind,
Cash flow is slower,
But at the same time Im getting a deeper understanding about how this works
Waiting for the breakthrough

DAY 81
focused on unblocking Tiktok
If I get a way to be able to spend in a stable and scalable way,
the money is mine
I am trying a thousand things, proxies, different warm ups, rentings, buy accounts...
Will keep you updated

DAY 104
Building the foundations for 10x my results
Looking for jeets to help me with aff’s things
Where are they hiding?
In Fiverr or upwork they only want to work on the platform and get a good review

DAY 49
Not a bad day, conversion rate has improved but not too much.
37% ROI with little budget
Tomorrow the budget will be x3

DAY 55
I am having the worst time since I started with affiliate,
I like to see it as a challenge,
This is where a lot of people quit,
I just have to keep going with my mind focused.

DAY 50
I wanted to scale hard today
But Mark had other plans for me
Making today my worst day since I started
Back to the trenches, no problem
So victory will taste better

DAY 16
I had my first conversion today, not just 1, but 3
That's a return on investment of 300%
the bad thing is only $20 spent, but this validates the vertical
I've smelled blood and I'm going with a knife in my teeth to go for it all
3

DAY 52
Launched a weird angle today.
That’s what I like the most about aff,
There is almost no limit to your creativity,
Of course you can rip stuff (and you should 🤫)
But it’s fun to mix angles of different verticals and try new things.
1

17
DAY 2
Lesson learned, it's almost mathematically impossible make work a low payout offer ($1,20 - SOI) for TIER 1 countries with FB Ads
To get a 20% ROI you need <$0,1 CPC is not impossible, but it's quite difficult
Change the offer - bigger payouts and TIER 2-3 GEOs

DAY 90
We hit 900 followers on the day 90
3 months go fast
I’m not where I want to be.
There has been more pain than gain.
But I know much more than 90 days before
I would bet on me in the next 90 days.
Don’t sleep on me

DAY 71
A small summary of the last few days
I’m testing funnels on FB and TT, but I still haven’t found anything really scalable
My motivation is a little low, but discipline keeps me going.
main income come from my freelance work as a media buyer for ecom brands
But it’s not

DAY 80
this is like playing sims.
started the day with some chess.
Then checked the results.
Not where I wanted to be
Focus on work
my focus bar is a little low,
i stop and wait to charge.
and back to work
until Motherlode becomes real.

DAY 40
It’s been my best week since I started, but still tiny numbers.
There are people here who spend 50x what I’m spending, I need to level up
1

15
DAY 5
After some deliberations, I’m going to stick to fb ads and sweep offers.
I don’t know if it’s the hottest combination, but it’s the one I think I can do my best
I’m not going to change until I find some success (aka 4 fig profit day)

DAY 103
Small issue with traffic source
But tomorrow it should be ready to print.
I want to keep this inertia and launch new offers
I may find my edge
And I need to milk it quickly

15
DAY 54
Everything I've texted in the last few days seems to be barely working.
This can be for 3 reasons:
- Bad angle / funnel
- Not enough data
- Bad luck / Variance
I have to be honest with myself,
If I were to look at my ad account from the outside, I would say it's

DAY 44
I'm launching camps and creatives like crazy.
Each camp is a little better than the others
Something amazing is about to happen
It's simple math, it could happen tomorrow or a year from now

DAY 62
Today I went into flow state and did 14 angles to test.
No eating, no distractions, no light.
I now have more angles to test than cash flow.
Let's balance things out
0
0
13
DAY 89
There are no major changes in the campaigns
I have reduced my test budget these last few days due to bad cash flow,
But it will be solved in the next few days,
I’m starting to feel concentration again,
These last few weeks have been a little hard emotionally,
1

13
DAY 8
In every offer I find, in every ad I spy....
I discover dozens of angles I'd like to try.
But time is limited, aff is a sidehustle at the moment.
My income comes from SMMA, but my nature is made to be an affiliate marketer
2

13
DAY 35
I have been faced with 3 suspended ad accounts in a row.
Just one ad account is live right now but with low budget
I need to focus on resolving this if I want to scale the offer.

DAY 41
My conversion rate has dramatically dropped with no apparently reason
Maybe I'm paranoid, but can the network accept fewer conversions (cc submit) from one day to the next even though people are still converting?

DAY 22
Today has been a long and hard day.
I’m working 10 to 12 hours a day and today has been one of those difficult days
I don’t know what to say,

I am the king of the small camps, I am profitable on the lowest scale, it's time to move up.

10
DAY 72
Everything seems to be going wrong,
and I need to find out what is going on
Can negative thoughts affect results?
Is it a matter of numbers, a big campaigns pays for 40 losing campaigns, so I just need to move on?
Is there something Im not seeing?
3

10
DAY 7
1. I've learnt a lot this first week, but I realised how much I have to learn
2. Knowing basic coding is a super power
I just created my own landing page with an inbuilt form to send leads directly to the offer.
This gives me lot of room to test things

DAY 70
Today I had the feeling of finding gold, twice.
That feeling when you watch a video and you know that it can make you a ton of money
But I don’t expect anything,
I just put things in the hands of destiny

A bit about me:
My current income is my lead gen agency
I'm from Spain
I'm in my late 20s
I've tried drop shipping and have some success
I'm living in a place with no friends/family, no social plans only things I do is GYM and WORK
just for a few months not wanna go crazy

DAY 87
Still in my bad streak.
I’m still dancing between TikTok and Facebook (I need to focus on just one)
I’m trying few offers from different networks (same vertical)
I need to keep my emotions away when making media buying decisions.
These bad days may be causing me to

This question comes to me often regarding affiliate marketing:
Which is the shorter path to success, mastering a vertical or mastering a traffic source?
Actually, I don't know if there is a right answer.

I need to simplify things.
I’ve seen affiliates making big numbers with simple and direct funnels
I’m taking a step back, checking my workflow and not complicating things too much.

The offer I'm testing rn doesn't look very good.
There are some BH offers that are really calling my name.
I see endless angles that could work.
I may go to the dark side

DAY 3
I’m going to try a new offer with bigger payments.
I found one that can work if everything is as my AM says
The KPIs should look like this $0.25 CPC for a TIER 3 GEO sounds easy
I made some creatives inspired by those who are working rn on adspy
Let’s see...
