Credit Card Affiliate Program – Secret $107K Niche

How I Made $107,000 in the Gas Prices Niche

Welcome to the behind-the-scenes notes of one of my profitable niches—gas prices—and how it helped me become one of the top credit card affiliate marketers in the game.


The Core Concept: Point A to Point B Marketing

Most people are stuck at “Point A” — low-value searches like “gas prices near me.” These keywords have:

  • High search volume (500,000+/mo)
  • Low or $0 cost per click (CPC)

But the real money lies at Point B — high-value financial terms like “gas rewards credit card,” which can pay $50–$300 per lead.

The key? Bridge the gap using tools, content, and offers that move the user from Point A to Point B.


What I Built

  • 3-page website with:
    • Gas price lookup tool (AI-generated)
    • MPG calculator
    • “Save Money on Gas” blog post
  • Banner ads + affiliate links on each tool page
  • AI-generated content and calculators via ChatGPT and Gemini

I paid $0.03 to $0.07 per click in ad traffic and monetized with:

  • Credit card affiliate offers
  • High-paying display ads
  • Zip submit offers (submit ZIP code = get paid)

Traffic Sources

  • Paid traffic: $5–$10/day to start
  • Social media: Posts about saving on gas, cost of fuel, MPG tips
  • SEO content: AI-generated posts about “how to get better gas mileage,” “best gas rewards cards,” etc.

Monetization Breakdown

Affiliate Offers Table

Offer Name Type Payout/Lead Network Notes
Citi Custom Cash Card Credit Card App Up to $150 Commission Junction Popular for gas rewards
Chase Freedom Flex Credit Card App $50–$100 Impact Radius Rotating category cashback
Barclays Arrival+ Credit Card App Up to $300 FlexOffers High payout, premium travel
Rent-to-Own Zip Submit Lead Gen $4 OfferVault Easy lead gen w/ ZIP only
Gas Rewards Finder Zip Submit $2–$3 OfferVault Do due diligence; avoid shady

Example Tools You Can Create

  • Gas Spending Counter: Shows real-time average U.S. gas spend per second and cash back earned with a 6% rewards card
  • Miles Per Gallon Calculator: Estimate your vehicle’s fuel efficiency
  • Electric vs Gas Savings Tool: Show cost comparison and trigger EV-related affiliate offers
  • Halfway Point Tool: Helps road-trippers find meeting spots (used by sites like TravelMath)

Why This Works

  • CPC Arbitrage: Buy cheap traffic for under $0.10 → convert with $100+ offers
  • Intent Bridging: Get user thinking about saving → recommend gas rewards cards
  • Tool-Based Content: Engaging, evergreen, shareable, and naturally ad-friendly

Key Metrics

  • Cost Per Click: <$0.30
  • Earnings Per Click (EPC): $2.00–$2.50
  • Affiliate Offer Conversion Rate: 1 in 40–50 (approx.)
  • Zip Submit Conversions: Higher volume, lower payout

Tips for Success

  1. Test Traffic Cheaply – Start with $5/day paid ads before going big.
  2. Use AI for Tools – Tools like ChatGPT or Gemini can build your apps/calculators.
  3. Build a Money Page – A single blog post focused on gas credit card rewards = high payout.
  4. Avoid Shady Offers – Stick to reputable credit card and finance brands.
  5. Think Like a Publisher – Make a site that helps people save, not just clicks to affiliate links.

Expansion Ideas

  • Hybrid/electric car calculator
  • “Best Hybrid Cars 2025” blog + affiliate links
  • Content for TikTok/YouTube shorts showing gas hacks

The gas price niche is an underrated backdoor into high-ticket financial affiliate programs. By focusing on useful tools and informational content, you can flip low-value traffic into high-commission earnings.

Sample Keyword List

Keyword Monthly Volume Intent Type
gas prices near me 500,000+ Informational
gas rewards credit card 12,000 Commercial
best credit card for gas 9,400 Commercial
save money on gas 2,700 Informational
best hybrid cars 2025 6,600 Commercial
improve gas mileage 1,100 Informational
electric vs gas cost calculator 800 Commercial
halfway point between cities 5,200 Informational
MPG calculator 9,000 Informational
average gas spending per year 3,300 Informational

Use these as inspiration for blog posts, tools, or videos that link directly or indirectly to your money pages.

Google Zero & AI: The $1 Trillion SEO Shift

Discover how Google Zero and AI are changing SEO forever. Learn how to rank, monetize, and thrive in the new search era with tools, branding, and intent-driven content.

Welcome to the Future of Search

Hey there, it’s Marcus, and let me tell you, we are on the edge of something massive. Like a trillion-dollar mass. If you’ve been hearing whispers about Google Zero, AI taking over SEO, and the so called “death” of search as we know it, you’re not alone. But here’s the kicker: this shift? It’s a goldmine. The people who understand what’s happening and how to respond are going to clean up absolutely.

 

 

In this article, we’re going to break it all down. You’ll learn:

  • What Google Zero actually is
  • How AI is changing search behavior
  • Why SEO is far from dead (but different)
  • How to position yourself to make serious money
  • Step by step strategies for adapting and thriving
  • Tools and tricks to get ahead of the curve

Let’s dive in bada bing bada boom.

 

What Is Google Zero?

“Google Zero” refers to a zero click search engine, meaning people get their answer directly from Google (via a snippet or AI-generated content) and never click through to any actual website.

Here’s the catch: you don’t get traffic when users don’t click. But Google still makes money. And that’s the core shift we’re facing.

Examples of Zero-Click Content:

  • Featured snippets
  • AI overviews
  • People Also Ask boxes
  • Instant answers (e.g., “How tall is Mount Everest?”)
  • Maps and local packs
  • Video previews
  • Rich cards and knowledge graphs

AI is now able to process user intent, scrape the web (including your site), and spit out an answer, so no click is required. And Google’s fine with that because they make billions from ads, not from you getting traffic.

Fact: Google Search generated $175 billion in 2023 alone. Why? Because they sell your attention. Not your content.

This trend has been growing since the early 2010s, but AI supercharged it. Instead of just seeing a blue link, users now see interactive previews, chatbot answers, shopping carousels, and video players, all designed to keep people on Google’s page.

 

But Wait, Does That Mean SEO Is Dead?

Nope. It just means SEO is evolving, and if you shift with it, you can still make money. Tons of it. The rise of AI doesn’t erase opportunity; it multiplies it for those who understand how to pivot.

Think about this: most people are trying to rank the old-school way. They chase backlinks, keyword stuff, and ignore intent. But Google is changing the rules. They’re looking at how users behave, what keeps them engaged, and which answers truly help.

So if you create better experiences, more accurate answers, and value-driven tools, you win.

 

The Trillion Dollar Shift Is Happening Now

Let’s talk about what this means for YOU.

Google is becoming an answer engine, not just a search engine. Its AI reads billions of web pages, extracts information, and delivers results in a split second and it’s getting smarter.

Major players like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI are all betting on similar models. Attention is currency, and whoever controls how people get answers controls the money.

This shift is why:

  • ChatGPT became a household name overnight
  • Microsoft invested billions into OpenAI
  • Google rushed to release Bard and integrate Gemini into Chrome and Android

You need to think like an owner in this AI land grab.

 

AI + SEO: Understanding the New Relationship

Search is no longer just about queries. It’s about context.

Google’s AI Understands:

  • Where the user is located
  • What device they using
  • What they’ve searched before
  • How do they behave after clicking

And yes, it uses that data to personalize results.

What does this mean for SEO?

  • It’s no longer about just ranking for a term
  • It’s about being the best result for that user, in that moment

You can win in this environment by:

  • Answering real questions
  • Solving real problems
  • Giving users tools and paths to explore deeper

It’s about intent, context, and experience.

 

How to Spot Opportunities in the AI Era

Marcus showed us in the video how to use Ahrefs to analyze clicks per search (CPS), a critical metric.

Low-CPS = zero-click High-CPS = opportunity

If you find a keyword with 30+ CPS, that’s a gold mine. This means people click multiple times to get what they want.

Examples:

  • “Coupon codes” : High CPS, because they rarely work on the first try
  • “Vin check”: High CPS, because users want accuracy
  • “AI email writer”: High CPS, tool-driven intent

Look For:

  • Tools
  • Checklists
  • Comparisons
  • Reviews
  • Calculators
  • Visual explainers

You win the click if you give the user something AI can’t easily give in one sentence.

 

The Winning Formula for Modern SEO

Want to win in the new era? You need a strategy.

1. Pick the Right Niche

Go after:

  • Local intent
  • Transactional intent
  • Emotional pain points (e.g., debt, health, addiction)
  • Emerging markets (AI, remote work, sustainability)

2. Build Tools

Examples:

  • Mortgage calculators
  • SEO checkers
  • Budget planners
  • Visual AI avatars
  • Font pairing tools

3. Get a Solid Domain

Marcus always emphasizes domain power. Get something short, descriptive, and brandable.

4. Structure Like an AI

Think about how AI reads your site:

  • Clear titles and headings
  • Schema markup
  • Internal links
  • Bullet points and short paragraphs

5. Brand It

When people remember you, they search for you. This bypasses Google’s control and gives you direct traffic, the most valuable kind.

 

Monetization in the New Era

Let’s talk about the fun part making money.

Affiliate Marketing

Focus on:

  • Tools people need
  • High-conversion verticals (finance, health, business, tech)
  • Comparison pages and roundups

Info Products

Teach people how to:

  • Start side hustles
  • Use AI tools
  • Automate workflows
  • Save money or build habits

Services

Offer:

  • Site audits
  • SEO AI implementation
  • AI content strategy
  • Consulting for Google-proof branding

Display Ads

Still profitable when:

  • You target low-competition, high-volume terms
  • Build informational content clusters
  • Have long dwell time on your pages.

 

Own Your Future

You’re not at the mercy of Google. You’re building something real.

The future of SEO is:

  • Branded
  • Tool-driven
  • Trust based
  • Experience-optimized

If you shift now, you’ll ride the trillion dollar wave. Wait too long, and you’ll miss the boat.

Don’t build a website. Build a solution. Build a brand. Build a system.

And remember the ones who adapt are the ones who profit.

Let’s make it rain.

Turn Digital Courses into Income with Google Gemini and AI Tools

 

Discover how to tap into the $1.7BN/day AI ads gold rush using smart tools, strategy, and simple steps to boost your online income.

Hey there! Marcus here. If you’ve been wondering how the heck people are making real money using AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and other crazy systems, this is the post you’ve been waiting for. Today, I’m going to pull back the curtain and show you how I made $14,000 in just three hours using AI, some digital tools, and a little thing I like to call strategy.

We’re not just talking theory here. I’m going to walk you through what I did, what’s working now, and how you can jump on this gold rush without needing a massive budget or tech skills. So grab some coffee and get ready. This is going to be good!.

 

What’s the AI Ads Gold Rush and Why It Matters

Right now, there’s over $1.7 billion per day being spent on online ads. That’s not a typo. Every. Single. Day.

Advertisers, affiliate marketers, course sellers, and SaaS companies are all battling for attention. But here’s the kicker: most of them are just throwing money at traffic and hoping it sticks.

You? You’re going to do things differently.

With tools like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Manis AI, you can create your own interactive tools, dashboards, and courses that make you look like a total rockstar, even if you’re just getting started.

 

The Secret Sauce: Strategy + Tools

So the big shift isn’t just the tech, it’s how we use it. Let me say it louder for the people in the back: It’s not about using the tool. It’s about using the tool to build something people actually want.

In my case, I:

  • Took an old PLR course
  • Used AI to turn it into an interactive, tool-driven dashboard
  • Packaged it with value
  • Sent it to my list

Three hours later? Boom $14,000 in sales.

 

Why Most People Make Nothing Online (and How to Avoid It)

Look, I’ve been doing this for 25 years. I’ve seen it all. And the hard truth is that most people trying to make money online don’t make a dime.

Why? Here’s a quick list:

  • They rely on hype instead of real value
  • They give up after a few weeks
  • They chase tactics instead of strategy

But if you flip the script and follow a strategy first approach that uses AI to create real tools, you’re already ahead of 99% of the crowd.

 

Let’s Break Down the Process

Step 1: Pick a Niche That’s Already Making Money

I don’t care if it’s nutrition coaches, real estate agents, or dog trainers. The key is to go where the money is.

Use keyword tools to:

  • Check search volume
  • Find questions people are asking
  • Understand the demand

 

Step 2: Find or Build a Simple Product

This could be:

  • A PLR ebook
  • A short video series
  • A basic checklist or worksheet

Then use AI to spice it up!.

 

Step 3: Add Interactive Tools

This is where the magic happens. I built:

  • A domain name helper for coaches
  • A pricing calculator
  • A social media post planner
  • A lead gen site builder

All using Gemini + ChatGPT.

These tools aren’t just fancy. They actually help people take action.

 

Step 4: Bundle It All Together

I call this the AI Dashboard Method. You’re not just selling an ebook—you’re giving people a working toolkit they can USE.

 

Step 5: Launch and Promote

Here’s the good part:

  • You can launch to a list (like I did)
  • Or put it on Gumroad/Udemy for exposure
  • Or run low-cost ads

With the tools and value built in, people will actually WANT to buy.

 

How You Can Start From Scratch

Don’t have a list or product? Here’s how to start today:

  1. Choose a profitable niche using keyword tools (health, money, and biz are always good bets)
  2. Find PLR products or write a few short guides using ChatGPT
  3. Use Gemini to turn them into tools (like calculators, generators, planners)
  4. Host it on your own domain (shared hosting is cheap—around $6/mo)
  5. Create a lead magnet or $7 front end offer

Then scale from there.

 

Final Tips and Warnings

  • Don’t skip strategy. Tools are awesome, but they need direction.
  • Host on your own platform. Don’t build your castle on rented land.
  • Keep it simple. Fancy doesn’t mean better, functionality wins every time.
  • Be helpful. The more your tools solve real problems, the more people will buy.

 

The AI Ads Gold Rush is real. $1.7 billion per day real. And if you’re not in the game, you’re leaving a fortune on the table.

By combining AI-powered tools with smart strategy, you can create real value, help real people, and make real money online.

So stop watching from the sidelines. Build something. Launch it. Test it. Refine it. This is how businesses are built.

How to make money with ChatGPT 4.1

What Is ChatGPT 4.1 and Why Should You Care?

ChatGPT 4.1 is the newest iteration of OpenAI’s flagship language model. Compared to its predecessor (GPT-4.0), it offers:
