My affiliate marketing journey has now passed $1,000 in total earnings after another $170+ sale — one more step toward my $10K-per-month goal.
That means my total earnings have now moved from just under $900 to a little over $1,000.
It’s certainly not $10,000 per month yet.
Not even close.
But crossing that first $1,000 feels like another meaningful milestone in a journey that started at zero.
In my previous update, I wrote about why the quiet days matter just as much as the big wins in this journey. You can read that $0 to $10K affiliate marketing update here.
My email list remains unchanged at 23 subscribers, so there hasn’t been progress everywhere at once.
But one important number moved forward.
And I’ll take that.
Most importantly, the commissions I’ve been documenting have come from the ClickBank Profit Challenge, which remains my main affiliate offer.
So if you want to see the actual offer that has been generating the income I’m reporting here, this is it:

I’m not recommending something completely separate from what I’m doing myself.
I’m actively promoting this offer — and it has produced real commissions for me.
Another step in the right direction
A $170 sale obviously doesn’t transform the business overnight.
But every sale matters at this stage.
For me, it’s another piece of evidence that the process can work.
Someone sees the offer.
Someone decides to buy.
A commission is generated.
Now the challenge is to make that process happen more often.
That means more traffic.
More content.
A bigger audience.
A larger email list.
Better conversions.
And eventually, hopefully, much more consistent sales.
That’s the difference between making occasional affiliate commissions and actually building a business capable of reaching $10,000 per month.
There’s still a long way to go.
But I’d rather be moving slowly in the right direction than standing still.
Today doesn’t need to be complicated
I was away from home from the morning until sometime in the afternoon today.
Now I’m back.
I’ll get a little work done, spend some time on the exercise bike, and continue the publishing routine I’ve been following across:
- Substack
- X
That’s basically the plan.
And sometimes I think there’s a tendency in online business to make every day unnecessarily complicated.
You feel like you should be creating a new funnel.
Finding another platform.
Buying another tool.
Learning another strategy.
Launching another campaign.
But sometimes you really don’t need to do all that.
Sometimes the right move is:
Keep publishing.
Keep learning.
Keep improving.
Keep going.
One step forward.
No step backward.
That’s enough.
A different side of my affiliate business
There is one additional thing I want to look at today.
I have a separate YouTube project called Fit After 40, and I’m going to check out another potential Amazon offer for the channel.
Fit After 40 is quite different from the rest of my online business.
The main business I document here focuses primarily on digital products — affiliate marketing systems, online business products, ClickBank offers and related opportunities.
Fit After 40 focuses on physical fitness products.
That could mean dumbbells, kettlebells, home fitness equipment or other products that make sense for an audience interested in staying fit after 40.
And I actually like having these two sides of the business.
Physical and digital products can complement each other
I don’t see Fit After 40 as replacing what I’m doing with ClickBank.
It’s completely separate.
Different audience.
Different content.
Different products.
But the two can complement each other.
On one side, I’m learning how to sell and promote digital products.
On the other, I’m learning how to use YouTube content to promote physical products through Amazon.
The underlying principles are surprisingly similar.
You need attention.
You need the right audience.
You need an offer people actually want.
And you need to connect those pieces effectively.
That’s affiliate marketing whether the product is a digital training programme or a set of fitness equipment.
Want to take things to a whole new level?
There’s also another opportunity for anyone who wants to go beyond simply promoting individual affiliate offers and explore building something bigger.
That’s the Coaching Profit System.
👉 Explore the Coaching Profit System here
It represents another direction within online business and is aimed at people interested in building a more substantial coaching-based business.
I’ll be sharing more about the different pieces of my own journey as things develop.
The scoreboard keeps moving
So where are things today?
Email subscribers: 23
Latest sale: $170+
Total affiliate earnings: A little over $1,000
Main affiliate offer: ClickBank Profit Challenge
Goal: $10,000 per month
There’s obviously a massive difference between earning $1,000 in total and earning $10,000 every single month.
I’m not pretending otherwise.
But everybody who eventually reaches a big number has to pass the smaller numbers first.
$100.
$500.
$1,000.
Then hopefully $2,000.
$5,000.
And eventually $10,000 per month.
We’ll see how far I can take it.
For now, I’m happy with another step in the right direction.
