I had to spend the weekend in a hospital.  Our local hospital isn’t even a good hospital.  Our medical system around here is terrible.

I won’t really belabor the details, but I had a sudden, debilitating vertigo attack.  Out of nowhere.  I was “down for the count.” And it made me realize that my physical career, that of massage therapy, could be taken away from me at any time.  I have had mixed success so far with being online, but I haven’t done the one thing I need to do: get out there every day and spend at least 30 minutes on my business.

So, the obvious lesson here: get serious about being online.  Be more consistent.  Be more efficient.  And most of all, don’t get too scattered.  Don’t give in to shiny object syndrome.

The Best Affiliate Program for Beginners

So what does this all mean?  It means I am going to work two programs as hard as I can.  The first one I see as the best affiliate program for beginners: Master Affiliate Profits, or MAP.  They allow you to promote and collect residual commissions even at the free level of membership. Master Affiliate Profits was created as an all in one affiliate marketing ecosystem by John Thornhill, Omar Martin, and Melinda Martin.  All are 8-figure earners over their 20-plus year careers.

There are four levels of membership: Free, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.  I am a MAP Backer because I got in early for one semi-big ticket price.  That gives me a Lifetime Platinum Membership.

So, what is the difference between memberships: basically, it’s this: the higher the membership, the more education you receive and the higher commissions you collect.  That being said, the free level is excellent for beginners to see if they really want to do affiliate marketing in 2025.

Online Success Coaching by John Thornhill

Online Success Coaching by John Thornhill is my other favorite product.  Anything John touches pretty much turns to gold at this point.  I have decided to do away with other programs and focus on these two because John Thornhill has actually delivered on his promises.  That is rare in the industry.

Online Success Coaching teaches you to make your own products using A.I. He then promotes your product to his list of over 100,000 people.  He also promotes to a list of thousands of other affiliates.  This encourages you to become a product creator.

My Progress So Far

I have created most of my product.  I am thinking I may have overshot my original creation of the product.  I want to do a video program as an upsell, but it’s a LOT of work.  I am thinking of a way to back up and find something better to create as an upsell and maybe teach any video version live the first time.

This is another little trick product creators and coaches use: don’t create a product unless you know there’s a demand for it.  It can really suck to create a video course and then nobody wants to buy it.

My Plan for This Week

I am trying to build a YouTube channel.  I plan to do at least three videos a week. I have nine titles “in the hopper.”  It takes about an hour to have ChatGPT do a script, load the script into Pictory, edit the video, especially for the images it chooses, download the video, and upload it to YouTube.

I also plan to do two or three posts a week here.  I may just do short posts on the YouTube videos.  This will accomplish two things. First, it lets you watch the videos if you want.  Second, it shows you just how easy it can be to create cool stuff.

That’s it for today.

To Your Success,

Steve
