I checked to see if I could sign up to John Crestani’s AI affiliate marketing masterclass and I got a message that said that the website is a scam which sucks because I have been marketing that class on my YouTube videos.

Makes sense because everything I have been doing to make affiliate income has been crashing and burning.

The only 3 ways I have made extra money has been:

1. Working extra shifts at my day job.
3. Interest from my high yield savings account.

It’s better than nothing I guess.

I am thinking of pivoting from affiliate marketing Clickbank products for a while and switching over to making review videos about the books in my personal library with affiliate links to Amazon.

I will do this because a definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

But I need to try and sell something because I am banned from the YouTube Partner program because I trusted a vendor from Fiverr to monetize my channel and all I got were bot views and a ban for my $200, time and faith.

So yeah. That’s the plan, but as Mike Tyson said: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” And as an other phrase goes “No plan survives the first engagement with an enemy.” 

Plus I have heard that man plans and God laughs, so my plan is to make God laugh or at least smile down upon on me.


Who knows I might pull it off and become a successful affiliate marketer and build enough passive income to retire early or at least semi retire because I enjoy writing these blog posts and making YouTube videos.

I just wish I could make money from these activities instead of cleaning hospital rooms.

Thanks for reading.
