Hi Marcus,
I have been a member of AI ProfitScoop for a few months now, but this may be my last month because I am running out of resources!. I am not one of your hecklers! I am just struggling to get a footing and make something work. I am 68, I live in Tampa, and I had been driving Uber to make ends meet, but the expenses just got too much, and I lost my van in December. I am determined to make something work from home on my computer. I moved here over 5 years ago after my wife passed and I lost everything I had and spent 6 months homeless during Covid. The only thing I saved was my computer. I used Uber to get back on my feet. I have an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science, and before my wife passed, I had a web design business. When she passed, I went off the rails for a while and lost all the business. Enough about all that! Sorry!
I watch a lot of your videos. I have my own hosting with A2 Hosting, and I have built over 25 websites on my domains, but only one of those is actually paying me, and that one not very often. (The main domain is https://seibroinc.com if you want to see some of my work.) I built most of the sites for friends just trying to help them out, thinking I could use the sites as proof of my work. Now, I am out of resources, and I need to use what I have, my computers, and my skills to get this turned around. Your ways are a little unconventional, and that works for me because so am I. With all this extra time since walking away from Uber on 12/18/24, a friend encouraged me to write a book about some of my experiences. I used Chat GPT to help with the images and formatting and published it through Amazon KDP, and the book came out really well. From the time I started writing, it only took 22 days to complete, and I had it in my hands on February 14. I have yet to sell one, and I am starting to record videos to post on social media to get the word out. I am confident that you will have an approach that will work for this! If you do, I would be extremely grateful. My time here on this earth is ticking, and I know that God must keep waking me up for a reason! Sorry to be so long with this, and whether you take this on or not, I still believe in you, and I may figure this out for myself eventually just watching your videos. May God bless you and your family! You are doing a great service for a lot of people!
Hi Don, I hear you my man. I’m 69 and in a very similar situation in some regards. I’m over here in Daytona Beach, and I’m interested in touching base with you to see if there is enough common ground between us, to possibly work together on something. Or if not that, then at least help and support each other along on this journey towards earning more moola online. I’ve also built dozens of websites in the past, had a few eCommerce successes, and had a long successful career in sales of capital goods.
I’ll send you an email and a link to my LinkedIn page so you can sse I’m legit. At the very least, I send you gooid wishes and hope that you can make some progress with all of this, cheers. Paul
Stuck in the Grind: My 2-Month Job Hunt & Choosing Between Paying Bills or Chasing Dreams
Hey everyone,
I’m writing this because I’m stuck and could use your advice. For the past two months, I’ve been trying *everything*—applying for jobs, testing side hustles, ( I believe watched all YouTube videos to make money fast ), and working on my YouTube channel—but nothing’s working. I’m hoping you can help me figure out what I’m missing.
My Story: From Student to Business Owner
I moved to the U.S. in 2015, worked hard through college, and graduated right when COVID-19 hit. I was burned out and unsure what to do next, so I jumped into the Medspa industry instead of pharmacy school. By late 2021, I open my clinic! For a while, things were great… but then costs kept rising and it got harder to keep up. By January 2025, I had to close my business, unfortunately.
YouTube & the Harsh Reality Check
In December, I decided to start fresh and launched a YouTube channel to share my journey. Three months later? Growth is *so* slow. I need better thumbnails, a clearer focus, etc.—but here’s the problem: **I need cash FAST**. I’ve applied to Medspa jobs, but the pay is too low, and the hours would leave me no time for my goals or even a social life.
My New Plan (But It’s Not Quick Enough)
My latest idea is affiliate marketing, which involves promoting digital products on my website while I continue working on my YouTube channel. The catch? Earning real money could take months. Right now, I need to pay rent and bills.
I Need Your Honest Thoughts!**
Any tips to grow YouTube faster (without spending money)?
Do you know any flexible jobs or gigs that pay quickly?
I need real advice!
Thanks for reading. 💛
Hello Marcus.
My name is DEnnis I am 67 and live in DA Nang, Vietnam. I have been attempting to make money on the internet, with varying levels of success for the past 20 years on and off. I built several WordPress sites in the past but had major problems with getting enough traffic as I have always been working with a constricted budget. I tried Facebook marketing which turned out to be just a money pit. I still have a YouTube channel about Thailand/South East Asia. I however took down most of the content due to sensitive matters I do not wish to discuss here. I am considering taking you up on the DFY website idea but would need it to quickly produce a return as finances are limited at the moment. I am currently studying AI with the “Recoursiv” course/app. I am willing to put aside four to five hours a day to achieve my goal of an improved lifestyle. I admit that I am a little confused about my direction and efficient use of my time at the moment. My usually lacklustre results from past efforts have clouded my perception somewhat but I am still eager to see some real success from my online endeavours. Over to you sir..
Hi Marcus!
Please can you show us how to do step by step SEO marketing the right way ?
I also need you to give me your advice on my website purchased and build from you.
The website is dyslexiadiscovery.com.
Thank you Marcus !
H Miarcus,
I sent you an email but didn’t get any reply.
My main question is I need to be guided step by step for 1 complete run.
Can you do that for me?
Thank you
Jake.
Hi Marcus! I’ve tried SO many other “gurus” programs and failed. Just want to say that you make this look so easy! I try to replicate what you do and run into challenges. But, thank goodness for being able to stop the videos, rewind and rewatch. I have a new mindset with you. You’re the real deal. I’m not giving up this time! It’s going to take me longer than just the “real simple, real easy” that it is for you. But every day, I overcome a challenge and move forward a little bit farther. And I feel victory and a little closer to my goal.
I just wanted to say thank you for keeping it real, caring about us and putting out all the great content that you do on a weekly basis! While it is always something different, it’s always the same basic plan. Systematic content starting with the purpose of getting paid. So simple, so easy. Like you say. All the others make it so complicated. Once I figure out how to build the website, and I’m getting close, I’m going to be off to the races. When I go to download your theme, there isn’t an opt-in box LOL. But, I’m not letting that stop me. I’m just going to have ChatGPT or Claude build me on. Like I said, not giving up this time.
I am a truck driver. I have very little time to work on anything. I am desperate to get out of trucking and find a healthy life work balance. The two things that I struggle with the most are information overload. Too many tools. Too many gurus… and the most difficult is my own self doubt when I look at all of this
Hi Marcus, thanks to the knowledge you’ve shared I’ve created a questionnaire, and a couple of tools, including a dashboard (https://3stepprocess.neocities.org/index.html, https://shorturl.at/njYmU, https://shorturl.at/VhPuc, https://shorturl.at/mzEaB, https://3stepprocess.neocities.org/5secfeareraser.html), that point people to my site that holds my mini course and a few free & low cost lead magnets. I also have a blog where I focus on obtaining traffic using SEO (not getting much traffic), and post on twitter (have received some likes for various posts, but not a lot) – all leading to the mini course and lead magnets. I’ve yet to make a sale, any suggestions? Thanks for what you do and share with the community.
My name is Brent Duncan and I started with Marcus doing the “Seven Day Challenge” in Dec 2024. Since then, I have been working almost every day and have created over 170 pages of content on my website, https://theotherway.biz focused on personal safety; something I believe is sorely needed in an increasingly unsafe world.
Gaining traction, however, has been a major challenge. I recently purchased an HTN website and have chosen my domain; just waiting for completion of the site. Hopefully under the guidance of Marcus and his team, I will be able to get value out to the people and make a little money in the process.
So far, I have Facebook page and group, Pinterest pins that go up every day and a blog post that promotes my “The Other Way Martial Consulting” site. Still, since December 2024, traffic has been my greatest challenge and no I’m getting toward the end of my resources, having invested almost everything I had in the HTN. Yes, I have made a couple of sales from my promotion of the “Wonderhoodie” bullet-resistant clothing line, but since they have recently chosen to advertise on Facebook, I have lost a LOT of that traffic.
Now I’m looking at other options to provide value to my viewers and customers and I’m asking for suggestions on next steps so I can continue helping people stay safe in their every-day lives.
Thank you.
Done many things online since 2000 but never found real success. God gets me thru it but yet to find my real path so to speak. Would like to stop struggling, worrying about money and feeling like a failure in life and this. I have done Adsense, affiliate marketing, Pod, physical products, ebooks, list building, drop shipping, domaining. You name it I have probably done it. Working on starting affilate marketing again and building up my list again. I am working on social media aspects as well. I can only work from home do to health issues and being a full time care giver to my mother. So Go willing I would like to get something to skyrocket and take off so I canstress less and give more to others as well.
Hi Marcus,
Thank you for your excellent videos and consistent motivation. I’m excited to share that I just completed a calculator yesterday (based on your Claude 3.7 video) that finally works! Though it’s only my first attempt, I’m thrilled that it’s functional.
I have two questions:
1. Regarding calculator niches and domains: Instead of purchasing a separate website for each niche, would it work to add each as a subdirectory to my main website? For example, could I use my testing website megaaffideals.com as the foundation and add different niches like:
– megaaffideals.com/popcorn.php
– megaaffideals.com/fuel.php
– megaaffideals.com/steak.php
Or should I invest in distinct domains for each niche, such as:
– bestpopcorn.com
– freefuel.com
– supersteak.com?
Finding unique domains for each niche is time-consuming, and Ahrefs seems quite expensive from what I understand.
2. Can you recommend a more affordable alternative to Ahrefs?
3. I live in Europe. Do you know if all this works in Germany with a much smaller population than the USA as well?
I’m very thankful for this opportunity to ask these questions. Due to time constraints, I’m unable to attend your live videos where it would be possible to ask questions directly.
I’m new to affiliate marketing and currently navigating the challenge of determining where to start and how to gain momentum. I recently purchased your HTN, which I believe will be an excellent starting point. However, one aspect I find unclear is how to assess the profitability of an opportunity. How do you evaluate whether something has the potential to be successful? Additionally, how do you determine the amount of effort to invest before deciding whether it’s worth your time?
Honestly my story is kinda personal. I had a web biz selling minibike parts in 2006 that was doing well, but then tragedy hit me as i lost my fiance of 2 years who passed due to complications to prescribed substances. I ten “checked out” for many years and allowed my business to fizzle out. I have tried but not too extensively, other affiliate, vid making “side hussles” but lacked time to figure them out. since then i havebuilt an “ok” ebay selling acct, and an Amazon print on demand acct, but those are tough b/c its constant renewal and struggle to keep things new and fresh and dealing with copycats who render your good sellers into over saturated niche redundancy. Now Ive just been absorbing as much as i can about “web marketing as a skill” in my free time, but with “choice overload” I just havent pulled the trigger. Ive learned a lot and was shortly going to join ai profit scoop, and get a 36 mo hosting plan so i can beging “building” and testing some of these new emerging oppotunities. I will be starting fresh and am not “in love” with any niche, just want to do what sells as long as its ethical. i DO have a couple of sim racing domains that i have been sitting on as a “fun” side project that ive wanted to start, but open to ust what works. im an open book lol.
Hello Marcus
There aren’t many days that go by that I don’t think of you. I have spun and done many ideas I see in the internet and I think I can see 90% are bs. I really love your videos. Your ideas and motivation are exceptional. I want to grasp into something but I think I’m overwhelmed so I stopped trying a few months ago. Shut down my shopify and don’t even bother to see if I have any book sales on Amazon because they are few. Now I feel like I have reached a cross road. I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in January and it’s very upsetting to me. I live in st Petersburg fl for the past 5 hrs. I moved to be near my daughter who then moved away 2 years ago so I know no one. I just joined a church to help with my spiritual and emotional health but finacialy I’m at rock bottom I guess the only way out is up. Oh and on top of it all I’m a recovering addict..3 years clean. So Marcus I don’t know where to begin but I’m willing to pull my boy straps up and get off my pity pot. Thank you for the email this morning. I believe you are a God send. I would like to atleast make enough money to buy a van and refurbished like a tiny house so I can go to ny and spend time with my grandchildren before I pass on
They are my true loves. I have only been up twice since being here because it’s too expensive.. 3,000.00 for a few nights. So Marcus what to do? I feel like your an honorable man and pretty transparent. Could you help me begin something so I can sustain myself. ( i started a YouTube channel documenting my diagnois and the difficulties getting ny chemo and radiation started) im not looking to make millions, but enough to make some lasting memories. I commend you if you got this far with my rambling. God bless!
I just read your story Heidi, my God what challenges you have faced and are facing.
I just wanted to tell you that I am sending tons of good wishes your way, and hope that you can find your way forward, and also get the treatment that you need for your illness. I will try and find your YT Channel and support you there.
All the very best,
Paul, 69, based in Daytona Beach, just another of Marcus’s fans for many years.
Hi Marcus! Love your content & thanks for all you do! I’ve been interested in Affiliate marketing for 20yrs. I’ve tried it several times and listened to several “gurus” over the years but I never made it happen. I’ve been out of the space for over 10yrs but my interest has never faded. I’m in IT, so the technical side wasn’t a roadblock for me. My issue was mainly a lack of marketing expertise & content generation. With your courses & Ai those shouldn’t be issues anymore.
We recently moved from Florida to Kansas City, because my dad passed and my mom was needing Assisted living. We didn’t want that, so we moved and she now lives with us. Needless to say money is really tight right now.
I want affiliate marketing to work for me now , more than ever! I’m willing to put in as much work as needed to make it happen! I recently joined AiProfit Scoop, BPN & pre-ordered the 2025 Simple Sites course. I also bought several domains before I heard you say to pick my niche first & then stick with one until it’s going really well. I own dreamroomsai.com, Aispaceguide.com, waggingtail.dog, solveitcentral.com & I bought FreeBudgetTools.com from you. I haven’t done anything with them yet. I’m struggling with direction & which Niche would be the best for me to put my efforts into first. I’d also love to get ahrefs or SemRush for keyword/site & backlink research but not sure which option would be best, plus they are pretty pricey when I’m just getting started. Any help you can give on the best site to go with would be awesome! I’m even willing to pick something completely different. I wish I had the $ for a HTN but I don’t think that’s possible right now. Thanks for everything!
Hi Marcus, Thanks for this opportunity! I joined HTN last year in the previous one, to the one you are currently doing. I had to drop out because my father became very ill, requiring significant care from family, as we knew this was the end. He passed in Dec.
I was trying to create a hub around the other work I do in finance and real estate- I have an LLC- using a business HTN that could help synthesize these aspects and of course market them along with providing great content. I wasn’t able to rejoin the training because of what I was and still am going through and therefore did not receive an HTN domain.
I’m wondering if a business domain is reasonable, or should I just get a personal interest niche going from a domain you select, such as a good travel one, so that I can just get working on something so that I can learn and earn. Seems like the business domain might be too tough to quickly obtain.
Thank you for your help, Cynthia
I started this journey maybe 15-20 years ago. However, due to personal issues and job requirements, I was not able to create any traction. I retired in 2016. After that, I could sell books on Amazon and generate some income. In 2017, I started an FBA account and was getting better at it. But during Covid, my account was deactivated and I lost whatever revenue I generated, which was about 8-9K. I sent corrective actions on their portal, but no one responded to my request to reinstate my account.
Finally, I started to look at other avenues, including Affiliate Marketing. I did take an HTN course before, but I need more help generating traffic and selecting the right offers to promote. Right now, I am taking the Bootcamp Spring course and have registered for Simple Site 2025.
By the way, I did create a site for Black sales from your training, but I did not have enough time to finish it and make some sales.
I also have created a tool to make a table for a webpage using Bolt.new after watching your YT video and then registering for your tools course. I will need some help to market the same. Overall, I need help with selecting the offers and learning how to generate massive organic traffic.
It’s a 98-page website hosted on Wix and gets great traffic. It’s seasonal traffic though, People only go on holiday in the summer to Menorca Spain. Traffic is up to 30,000+ organic in the summer per month, maybe 5k in the winter.
I have affiliates but only one that really pays ok, I generally get £12k per year of orders for a private hire taxi service from the airport – Suntransfers. I get some bookings for trips etc.., about £300 in affiliate payments, and Google AdSense makes me £600 per year.
What would you do to zoom the earnings up or should I sell the site? Do you want to buy it! lol.
I also have a newsletter which I have just started and has 100+ subs. I send out a weekly newsletter with some affiliate deals etc…
Hi Nigel, I’m just one of Marcus’s followers, but I have had a 50 year career in offline sales and marketing, and have been building websites since 1995, quite a few eCommerce stores, some more successful than others. (Here’s one of them, just as an example – https://customwovenblankets.com )
I checked out your Menorca website, you’ve clearly put a lot of effort into that, and perhaps Marcus will take a look at it and give you some ideas.
If he doesn’t, and if you’re interested, I could give you some pointers on how to increase your returns on the site. You have a lot of information there, maybe too much, and I find it confusing as to how you’ve mixed up information in some sections that don’t belong together. Plus, I don’t see you deliberately leading your audience to specific offers, instead it’s kind of all over the place and visitors are just left to enter and roam around on their own, which I’ve found is never a good idea. So there are a lot of easy and practical things that I think you could do, to improve all that. After doing all that work that you have, and since you get the traffic you need in the warmer months, it would be a real shame to let it all go when you’re on the bring of being able to turn that site into something dynamic.
Anyway, just thought I’d offer some help, no cost at all, just trying to support a fellow web-builder.
All the best, Paul in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Hi Marcus,
My name is Jacqueline. I am 45 my main issue with making online are the changes companies make after you are used to their current way of doing things. I have been a reseller with a big name companies since 2015, it was just a side job so not entirely a huge deal until 2021 hit. At that point I tried to make more money at reselling which seemed impossible. Since than everything I knew about the company I worked with has gone downhill. Most of my serious issues has stemmed from all the changes made after 2023, so when it rolled over to 2024. At this point I have been boycotting them, and it’s hurting no one but myself, idiot. At this point I have found a new platform that has a free version kinda like Shopify and am currently trying to set up my business on there but it’s proving to be pretty time consuming for what I am trying to do so it is still being created due to lots of inventory needing to be listed. What my business consist of is going to be custom beadwork/ jewelry making that is created by the customer. I think that sums up the main points in my online experience.
Dear Marcus,
I initially signed up for a program with you years ago, but due to my job as a GM(long hours) some issues with my spouse, all of the efforts went by the wayside. Fast forward to November 2024, I found myself at a crucial crossroad as my GM position had been snatched from under be due to the franchisee of the restaurant chain I was dedicated to suddenly closed 8 of 10 locations. I had little resources but decided it was time to make a change. The first six-weeks were rough… Waiting on unemployment takes its time. My first lump sum, I invested in an offer you had for aiprofits scoop for a fantastic price to get a jump into what I want to be my greatest year ever. I did not hear from anyone for a few weeks so I inquired and got an immediate response from Tina. Wonderful! I got a list of videos to study and then we get new ones all the time, while awaiting a domain that you approve that will get me further along in my pursuit. In the meantime I tried my hands on making an Instagram post to promote a valentines day floral offer I found on Max Bounty. I was proud of my accomplishment on creating a Instagram post even though I made $0, I am confident that with a little more direction, I can more that succeed at this new lifestyle. I signed up for the bootcamp so that just maybe I can find a step-by-step path to making a decent living in this new age. I enjoy the prospects of creating content that others will enjoy and learn from. I enjoy the new, for me, adventure and I know that this WILL be work, but not nearly as hard as working at least 60 hours a week, maybe more to barely see the sun rise because I am already at work, or seeing the sun set because I am still at work. I have created a lot of content for my new domain and am excited to get going. I have a few offers at Max bounty that ties right into the idea of the site. My mind is going into overdrive to understand how to both get traffic and convert that traffic into value for my guests. I am not a guru at this part, but I am excited about the many ways to make a few dollars from just getting one to leave their email address without any purchase but also not promote gimmicks. I have the utmost confidence that with your assistance and some guided direction from you that I will be able to free myself from the confines of what many see as a norm. The main challenge now is that my source of funds is at its limit and I am starting to have to work more and more to make this happen, but I am dedicated to making this my life. Man, that is a lot and I don’t want to be too long. All in all, a lot of the struggles for me, can be alleviated if we can get at least a step-by-step to make, let’s say, $100 a day with something simple for a novice like me that I can implement with little costs ($100 or so) until we can see the fruits of our efforts with the site. It makes it easier to be creative when you have a solid foundation to start with and I know that you are providing that with your incredible offers. I hope to be able to repay you in the near future for all of your invaluable insights to this industry and how to capitalize on it. Thank you Marcus and team
Would like some ideas on how to calm my inner A.D.D.. I just wanted to thank you for all of your lessons and all the value. I have to learn the skill of doing things in an order. I have that shiny ball, look there is a monkey , I would like spaghetti tonight thing going. I chose urls like https://saltlightspirit.com/ and zerostressmarketing.com and then spin out by thinking I can do it all. Love the Wednesday lessons. I work Friday through Monday from 7 – 6 p.m… for the parks department. Would like to retire doing something I enjoy from home.
I am currently residing in a homeless shelter in Washington D.C.
The numerous distractions in this shelter are the main reasons why I am finding it hard to succeed online due to the lack of peace and quiet as well as the lack of having a secluded place to study internet marketing information.
If you were to award me the $500 cash prize, I would spend a portion of the money on staying at a cheap motel for 3 days which would allow me the privacy to communicate with you and cultivate a plan of action for my online business success.
The other portion of the $500 would be used to start a relationship with you via the $17 a month plan you have for novice online marketers.
Hi Marcus,
I’ve spent the past 10 years as an over the road truck driver, but being home only 12 weekends a year has made it difficult to spend time with my family. About a year ago, I started looking into affiliate marketing as a way to transition into a career that offers more flexibility and balance. My goal is to move on from trucking and build a career that allows me to work from home, giving me more time with my family while still providing financial stability. I’ve been working hard to build websites and create something sustainable for myself. It’s been a challenging and learning process, your insights and strategies have been incredibly valuable along the way, and they’ve kept me motivated. I just wanted to say thank you for this opportunity and all that you share it’s making a real difference as I work toward building a new future.
There are a ton of videos out on how to make to do affiliate marketing. Everyday a new video comes out. The main question is where to start and what tools will be needed to succeed.
I’m Kevin a disabled veteran in a program after toxic relationships and trauma and I’m getting better everyday. Not in a hurry to make a lot of money I just want to build assets for a long term strategy while I get better. A lot of folks on here are worse off than me so I wish blessings on their life and clarity in their choices and decisions. Took me a while together there. So best of luck guys.
Hi Marcus,
This is a great idea – whether for $500 or not, it’s great to have a sounding board to bounce some ideas off. Thank you!!! So, let me cut to the chase: I am completely new to affiliate marketing. I’ve been looking at videos by Ferdy Koerpershoek, Web Squadron, Adam Enfroy, and your good self of course, and as a newbie, it’s challenging to know where exactly to start. ChatGPT suggests ClickBank, not least of all because it has affiliate offers which don’t always require approval. I’ve built a WP site with Elementor Pro, including Yoast Premium and Semrush, and the content is primarily from ChatGPT (images from DALL-E, videos from Sora). The site isn’t online yet. But you know, it’s only a matter of days, or even weeks…
Anyway, I’ve decided to concentrate on Finance, AI and Home Living, in no particular order. The apps/ software suggested by ChatGPT, say for example, You Need A Budget (YNAB,) all have affiliate programs, as a matter of fact, you can get GPT to list out the niche, sub-niche, name of software, affiliate payout, pricing, and a whole lot of other criteria to pack into a listicle or use as the basis for a pillar article etc etc etc. Nothing new there. And yes, presumably with some good keyword research, a bit of luck and a prayer, there is a statistical chance at having someone click on your links.
What I am inexperienced with – in particular – is how to go about getting approval from affiliate platforms. This seems to me to be an essential part of guaranteeing being paid. What advice can you give on this topic? I’ve read that new sites are often taken lightly by affiliate managers (no backlinks, no traffic, no proof of efficacy). Is there a tried and trusted way of ensuring approval for a new site? How do you go about this? Is there a certification or something similar that the website ought to have on it? As I mentioned, I’ve looked at ClickBank products, but a lot of them look like fly-by-nights – you just wouldn’t trust them. Whereas the more substantial products/ product-names seem to have affiliate programs with more substance. Maybe getting involved with them is more profitable. Do you have an opinion on this?
Thanks for your feedback Marcus! I enjoy your videos, you always seem to have novel ways at approaching stuff. Great work!
I’ve been researching online business opportunities for a while, and I always come back to the pet niche—it’s what I’m most passionate about. I’ve even written a book on starting a pet sitting business and created some useful forms to offer for free. I recently joined ClickBank and started their Spark course, but I’m struggling with how to actually get started and tie affiliate marketing into my pet niche.
I see so many people successfully offering free resources to lead into paid products, but I’m stuck on how to structure that process and make it work. What do I need to create or put together to get started? How do I effectively offer something for free and turn that into sales? I know once I have a clear path, I can run with it—I just need that initial push in the right direction.
I’d love your insight on how to set this up and finally take action. Thanks for everything you do!
Love your videos and all of your wonderful, practical advice Marcus. I’ve written an ebook after following a PDF farming course and now feel stuck in how to actually sell it. The platform wants to “one-click install” on Go High Level. While I tried to do that, the system is advanced if you want to customize anything and in my opinion not for beginners. Things that were supposed to take me an hour have taken days and I’m being frustrated at this point. It’s also super expensive for someone just starting out. While I’d like to do it eventually, I don’t have the capital right now. With other things, I’m stuck on how to make the income and caught in “analysis paralysis” feeling overwhelmed with the choices and wanting to make it work. I’m a solo mom on a stress leave so I don’t have the time to be online posting to socials three times a day (as suggested by the PDF Farming thing). I also don’t love just reusing someone else’s videos. I had thought about doing something with French since I’m bilingual, but I’m worried I’ll spend so much time getting something set up that won’t be profitable that I’m kind of frozen.
My name is Heather. I have been a foster parent to high-needs kids for the past 27 years. Recently (August 2024), my 3 boys were moved out of my home. One moved back to family, the other two are in higher, more secure staffed homes. After much deliberation in my head, I have decided that this is where I must leave my fostering career. I am very much continuing to be a part of my boys’ lives as I am their person and the only real family they know.
The problem is that this leaves me with no income. I know that working from home and online is the only way I will make this work. I am unable to work a regular job as I have some nerve conditions in my legs that don’t allow me great mobility. I’ve tinkered around online, learning different things, but I have always been too paralyzed to allow anything to work and allow the income to start flowing. I’ve been on many trainings and purchased many products from you. I think my problem is a fear of … success?
In the meantime, I have found a way to make a bit of money online, but it is not enough to pay the bills, and I want to get that happening quickly as I am burning through my retirement savings. What I really need are some fast cash solutions that are easy to make with AI, and then to finally get busy on the 3 websites that I have already purchased from you and get them to start receiving traffic and converting that to income.
Thanks so much for you help Marcus and all that you do.
Hi Marcus,
I’m an 81 year old retired copywriter and published author. At least my fingers still work. (keyboard)
I notice that most of these responses are full of excuses and sad stories. I got kinda depressed reading them.
I don’t have any excuses… I know who to blame… I see him in the mirror when shave so I quit shaving.
I have a new project that is related to the elderly… I have a book and a lot of sales copy but need to figure out the best marketing methods.
What I need is a good kick in the butt and a simple step by step plan to follow.
I’m going to jump into Profit Scoop and start watching/reading. I’ll figure it out.
Thanks for the great videos and resources…. you have your own folder on my desktop.
Ha! Love that one, good on ya Chuck.
‘I see him in the mirror when shave so I quit shaving.’ – I’m going to remember that one.
Am sure a man with your credentials will figure this game out.
Yes the stories here are sad, and tough. Seems like a lot of folks are in the same boat, struggling with self doubt and how to put the first pieces into place in order to gain momentum. I’ve been through all that so many times. And now with AI progressing at lightening speed, it’s a real challenge just trying to keep up with anything.
All the best,
Paul, 69, in Daytona Beach, just one of Marcus’s followers.
Hey Marcus,
Well I was going to explain my situation and my challenges, but after reading the other stories above, I realize that there are a lot of others who are far more deserving of your help than I am.
So I will pass, and hope that you can help some of these folks.
Looking forward to this session today, thanks.

PS: Did you know that your “Are you a human” captcha puzzle never accepts the correct answer the first time? It keeps saying there was a captcha error, even with the correct answer. One has to then reload the page after trying it a couple of times, and then input in the answer to the new captcha question, and then it works. Happens every time one tries to make a post or a comment. Just FYI.
Hi Marcus,
I have been a member of AI ProfitScoop for a few months now, but this may be my last month because I am running out of resources!. I am not one of your hecklers! I am just struggling to get a footing and make something work. I am 68, I live in Tampa, and I had been driving Uber to make ends meet, but the expenses just got too much, and I lost my van in December. I am determined to make something work from home on my computer. I moved here over 5 years ago after my wife passed and I lost everything I had and spent 6 months homeless during Covid. The only thing I saved was my computer. I used Uber to get back on my feet. I have an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science, and before my wife passed, I had a web design business. When she passed, I went off the rails for a while and lost all the business. Enough about all that! Sorry!
I watch a lot of your videos. I have my own hosting with A2 Hosting, and I have built over 25 websites on my domains, but only one of those is actually paying me, and that one not very often. (The main domain is https://seibroinc.com if you want to see some of my work.) I built most of the sites for friends just trying to help them out, thinking I could use the sites as proof of my work. Now, I am out of resources, and I need to use what I have, my computers, and my skills to get this turned around. Your ways are a little unconventional, and that works for me because so am I. With all this extra time since walking away from Uber on 12/18/24, a friend encouraged me to write a book about some of my experiences. I used Chat GPT to help with the images and formatting and published it through Amazon KDP, and the book came out really well. From the time I started writing, it only took 22 days to complete, and I had it in my hands on February 14. I have yet to sell one, and I am starting to record videos to post on social media to get the word out. I am confident that you will have an approach that will work for this! If you do, I would be extremely grateful. My time here on this earth is ticking, and I know that God must keep waking me up for a reason! Sorry to be so long with this, and whether you take this on or not, I still believe in you, and I may figure this out for myself eventually just watching your videos. May God bless you and your family! You are doing a great service for a lot of people!
Hi Don, I hear you my man. I’m 69 and in a very similar situation in some regards. I’m over here in Daytona Beach, and I’m interested in touching base with you to see if there is enough common ground between us, to possibly work together on something. Or if not that, then at least help and support each other along on this journey towards earning more moola online. I’ve also built dozens of websites in the past, had a few eCommerce successes, and had a long successful career in sales of capital goods.
I’ll send you an email and a link to my LinkedIn page so you can sse I’m legit. At the very least, I send you gooid wishes and hope that you can make some progress with all of this, cheers. Paul
Stuck in the Grind: My 2-Month Job Hunt & Choosing Between Paying Bills or Chasing Dreams
Hey everyone,
I’m writing this because I’m stuck and could use your advice. For the past two months, I’ve been trying *everything*—applying for jobs, testing side hustles, ( I believe watched all YouTube videos to make money fast ), and working on my YouTube channel—but nothing’s working. I’m hoping you can help me figure out what I’m missing.
My Story: From Student to Business Owner
I moved to the U.S. in 2015, worked hard through college, and graduated right when COVID-19 hit. I was burned out and unsure what to do next, so I jumped into the Medspa industry instead of pharmacy school. By late 2021, I open my clinic! For a while, things were great… but then costs kept rising and it got harder to keep up. By January 2025, I had to close my business, unfortunately.
YouTube & the Harsh Reality Check
In December, I decided to start fresh and launched a YouTube channel to share my journey. Three months later? Growth is *so* slow. I need better thumbnails, a clearer focus, etc.—but here’s the problem: **I need cash FAST**. I’ve applied to Medspa jobs, but the pay is too low, and the hours would leave me no time for my goals or even a social life.
My New Plan (But It’s Not Quick Enough)
My latest idea is affiliate marketing, which involves promoting digital products on my website while I continue working on my YouTube channel. The catch? Earning real money could take months. Right now, I need to pay rent and bills.
I Need Your Honest Thoughts!**
Any tips to grow YouTube faster (without spending money)?
Do you know any flexible jobs or gigs that pay quickly?
I need real advice!
Thanks for reading. 💛
Hello Marcus.
My name is DEnnis I am 67 and live in DA Nang, Vietnam. I have been attempting to make money on the internet, with varying levels of success for the past 20 years on and off. I built several WordPress sites in the past but had major problems with getting enough traffic as I have always been working with a constricted budget. I tried Facebook marketing which turned out to be just a money pit. I still have a YouTube channel about Thailand/South East Asia. I however took down most of the content due to sensitive matters I do not wish to discuss here. I am considering taking you up on the DFY website idea but would need it to quickly produce a return as finances are limited at the moment. I am currently studying AI with the “Recoursiv” course/app. I am willing to put aside four to five hours a day to achieve my goal of an improved lifestyle. I admit that I am a little confused about my direction and efficient use of my time at the moment. My usually lacklustre results from past efforts have clouded my perception somewhat but I am still eager to see some real success from my online endeavours. Over to you sir..
Hi Marcus!
Please can you show us how to do step by step SEO marketing the right way ?
I also need you to give me your advice on my website purchased and build from you.
The website is dyslexiadiscovery.com.
Thank you Marcus !
H Miarcus,
I sent you an email but didn’t get any reply.
My main question is I need to be guided step by step for 1 complete run.
Can you do that for me?
Thank you
Jake.
Hi Marcus! I’ve tried SO many other “gurus” programs and failed. Just want to say that you make this look so easy! I try to replicate what you do and run into challenges. But, thank goodness for being able to stop the videos, rewind and rewatch. I have a new mindset with you. You’re the real deal. I’m not giving up this time! It’s going to take me longer than just the “real simple, real easy” that it is for you. But every day, I overcome a challenge and move forward a little bit farther. And I feel victory and a little closer to my goal.
I just wanted to say thank you for keeping it real, caring about us and putting out all the great content that you do on a weekly basis! While it is always something different, it’s always the same basic plan. Systematic content starting with the purpose of getting paid. So simple, so easy. Like you say. All the others make it so complicated. Once I figure out how to build the website, and I’m getting close, I’m going to be off to the races. When I go to download your theme, there isn’t an opt-in box LOL. But, I’m not letting that stop me. I’m just going to have ChatGPT or Claude build me on. Like I said, not giving up this time.
Thank you so much for everything!
I am a truck driver. I have very little time to work on anything. I am desperate to get out of trucking and find a healthy life work balance. The two things that I struggle with the most are information overload. Too many tools. Too many gurus… and the most difficult is my own self doubt when I look at all of this
Hi Marcus, thanks to the knowledge you’ve shared I’ve created a questionnaire, and a couple of tools, including a dashboard (https://3stepprocess.neocities.org/index.html, https://shorturl.at/njYmU, https://shorturl.at/VhPuc, https://shorturl.at/mzEaB, https://3stepprocess.neocities.org/5secfeareraser.html), that point people to my site that holds my mini course and a few free & low cost lead magnets. I also have a blog where I focus on obtaining traffic using SEO (not getting much traffic), and post on twitter (have received some likes for various posts, but not a lot) – all leading to the mini course and lead magnets. I’ve yet to make a sale, any suggestions? Thanks for what you do and share with the community.
My name is Brent Duncan and I started with Marcus doing the “Seven Day Challenge” in Dec 2024. Since then, I have been working almost every day and have created over 170 pages of content on my website, https://theotherway.biz focused on personal safety; something I believe is sorely needed in an increasingly unsafe world.
Gaining traction, however, has been a major challenge. I recently purchased an HTN website and have chosen my domain; just waiting for completion of the site. Hopefully under the guidance of Marcus and his team, I will be able to get value out to the people and make a little money in the process.
So far, I have Facebook page and group, Pinterest pins that go up every day and a blog post that promotes my “The Other Way Martial Consulting” site. Still, since December 2024, traffic has been my greatest challenge and no I’m getting toward the end of my resources, having invested almost everything I had in the HTN. Yes, I have made a couple of sales from my promotion of the “Wonderhoodie” bullet-resistant clothing line, but since they have recently chosen to advertise on Facebook, I have lost a LOT of that traffic.
Now I’m looking at other options to provide value to my viewers and customers and I’m asking for suggestions on next steps so I can continue helping people stay safe in their every-day lives.
Thank you.
Hi Marcus,
Done many things online since 2000 but never found real success. God gets me thru it but yet to find my real path so to speak. Would like to stop struggling, worrying about money and feeling like a failure in life and this. I have done Adsense, affiliate marketing, Pod, physical products, ebooks, list building, drop shipping, domaining. You name it I have probably done it. Working on starting affilate marketing again and building up my list again. I am working on social media aspects as well. I can only work from home do to health issues and being a full time care giver to my mother. So Go willing I would like to get something to skyrocket and take off so I canstress less and give more to others as well.
Hi Marcus,
Thank you for your excellent videos and consistent motivation. I’m excited to share that I just completed a calculator yesterday (based on your Claude 3.7 video) that finally works! Though it’s only my first attempt, I’m thrilled that it’s functional.
I have two questions:
1. Regarding calculator niches and domains: Instead of purchasing a separate website for each niche, would it work to add each as a subdirectory to my main website? For example, could I use my testing website megaaffideals.com as the foundation and add different niches like:
– megaaffideals.com/popcorn.php
– megaaffideals.com/fuel.php
– megaaffideals.com/steak.php
Or should I invest in distinct domains for each niche, such as:
– bestpopcorn.com
– freefuel.com
– supersteak.com?
Finding unique domains for each niche is time-consuming, and Ahrefs seems quite expensive from what I understand.
2. Can you recommend a more affordable alternative to Ahrefs?
3. I live in Europe. Do you know if all this works in Germany with a much smaller population than the USA as well?
I’m very thankful for this opportunity to ask these questions. Due to time constraints, I’m unable to attend your live videos where it would be possible to ask questions directly.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
I’m new to affiliate marketing and currently navigating the challenge of determining where to start and how to gain momentum. I recently purchased your HTN, which I believe will be an excellent starting point. However, one aspect I find unclear is how to assess the profitability of an opportunity. How do you evaluate whether something has the potential to be successful? Additionally, how do you determine the amount of effort to invest before deciding whether it’s worth your time?
Honestly my story is kinda personal. I had a web biz selling minibike parts in 2006 that was doing well, but then tragedy hit me as i lost my fiance of 2 years who passed due to complications to prescribed substances. I ten “checked out” for many years and allowed my business to fizzle out. I have tried but not too extensively, other affiliate, vid making “side hussles” but lacked time to figure them out. since then i havebuilt an “ok” ebay selling acct, and an Amazon print on demand acct, but those are tough b/c its constant renewal and struggle to keep things new and fresh and dealing with copycats who render your good sellers into over saturated niche redundancy. Now Ive just been absorbing as much as i can about “web marketing as a skill” in my free time, but with “choice overload” I just havent pulled the trigger. Ive learned a lot and was shortly going to join ai profit scoop, and get a 36 mo hosting plan so i can beging “building” and testing some of these new emerging oppotunities. I will be starting fresh and am not “in love” with any niche, just want to do what sells as long as its ethical. i DO have a couple of sim racing domains that i have been sitting on as a “fun” side project that ive wanted to start, but open to ust what works. im an open book lol.
You give away too much already. Give the prize to someone else. I Take your advice over any prize.
Thanks
Hello Marcus
There aren’t many days that go by that I don’t think of you. I have spun and done many ideas I see in the internet and I think I can see 90% are bs. I really love your videos. Your ideas and motivation are exceptional. I want to grasp into something but I think I’m overwhelmed so I stopped trying a few months ago. Shut down my shopify and don’t even bother to see if I have any book sales on Amazon because they are few. Now I feel like I have reached a cross road. I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in January and it’s very upsetting to me. I live in st Petersburg fl for the past 5 hrs. I moved to be near my daughter who then moved away 2 years ago so I know no one. I just joined a church to help with my spiritual and emotional health but finacialy I’m at rock bottom I guess the only way out is up. Oh and on top of it all I’m a recovering addict..3 years clean. So Marcus I don’t know where to begin but I’m willing to pull my boy straps up and get off my pity pot. Thank you for the email this morning. I believe you are a God send. I would like to atleast make enough money to buy a van and refurbished like a tiny house so I can go to ny and spend time with my grandchildren before I pass on
They are my true loves. I have only been up twice since being here because it’s too expensive.. 3,000.00 for a few nights. So Marcus what to do? I feel like your an honorable man and pretty transparent. Could you help me begin something so I can sustain myself. ( i started a YouTube channel documenting my diagnois and the difficulties getting ny chemo and radiation started) im not looking to make millions, but enough to make some lasting memories. I commend you if you got this far with my rambling. God bless!
I just read your story Heidi, my God what challenges you have faced and are facing.
I just wanted to tell you that I am sending tons of good wishes your way, and hope that you can find your way forward, and also get the treatment that you need for your illness. I will try and find your YT Channel and support you there.
All the very best,
Paul, 69, based in Daytona Beach, just another of Marcus’s fans for many years.
Hi Marcus! Love your content & thanks for all you do! I’ve been interested in Affiliate marketing for 20yrs. I’ve tried it several times and listened to several “gurus” over the years but I never made it happen. I’ve been out of the space for over 10yrs but my interest has never faded. I’m in IT, so the technical side wasn’t a roadblock for me. My issue was mainly a lack of marketing expertise & content generation. With your courses & Ai those shouldn’t be issues anymore.
We recently moved from Florida to Kansas City, because my dad passed and my mom was needing Assisted living. We didn’t want that, so we moved and she now lives with us. Needless to say money is really tight right now.
I want affiliate marketing to work for me now , more than ever! I’m willing to put in as much work as needed to make it happen! I recently joined AiProfit Scoop, BPN & pre-ordered the 2025 Simple Sites course. I also bought several domains before I heard you say to pick my niche first & then stick with one until it’s going really well. I own dreamroomsai.com, Aispaceguide.com, waggingtail.dog, solveitcentral.com & I bought FreeBudgetTools.com from you. I haven’t done anything with them yet. I’m struggling with direction & which Niche would be the best for me to put my efforts into first. I’d also love to get ahrefs or SemRush for keyword/site & backlink research but not sure which option would be best, plus they are pretty pricey when I’m just getting started. Any help you can give on the best site to go with would be awesome! I’m even willing to pick something completely different. I wish I had the $ for a HTN but I don’t think that’s possible right now. Thanks for everything!
Hi Marcus, Thanks for this opportunity! I joined HTN last year in the previous one, to the one you are currently doing. I had to drop out because my father became very ill, requiring significant care from family, as we knew this was the end. He passed in Dec.
I was trying to create a hub around the other work I do in finance and real estate- I have an LLC- using a business HTN that could help synthesize these aspects and of course market them along with providing great content. I wasn’t able to rejoin the training because of what I was and still am going through and therefore did not receive an HTN domain.
I’m wondering if a business domain is reasonable, or should I just get a personal interest niche going from a domain you select, such as a good travel one, so that I can just get working on something so that I can learn and earn. Seems like the business domain might be too tough to quickly obtain.
Thank you for your help, Cynthia
I’m believe you are the real deal, all I must do is implement your knowledge correctly 🤠.
THE HARDEST THING IS TO DO IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME!
I started this journey maybe 15-20 years ago. However, due to personal issues and job requirements, I was not able to create any traction. I retired in 2016. After that, I could sell books on Amazon and generate some income. In 2017, I started an FBA account and was getting better at it. But during Covid, my account was deactivated and I lost whatever revenue I generated, which was about 8-9K. I sent corrective actions on their portal, but no one responded to my request to reinstate my account.
Finally, I started to look at other avenues, including Affiliate Marketing. I did take an HTN course before, but I need more help generating traffic and selecting the right offers to promote. Right now, I am taking the Bootcamp Spring course and have registered for Simple Site 2025.
By the way, I did create a site for Black sales from your training, but I did not have enough time to finish it and make some sales.
I also have created a tool to make a table for a webpage using Bolt.new after watching your YT video and then registering for your tools course. I will need some help to market the same. Overall, I need help with selecting the offers and learning how to generate massive organic traffic.
I’m believe you are the real deal, all I must do is implement your knowledge correctly 🤠.

Hi Marcus, love all the videos, and all the information you freely give everybody.. thank you
I have a 7-year-old website https://www.letsgomenorca.com which never makes over £1.5k profit a year.
It’s a 98-page website hosted on Wix and gets great traffic. It’s seasonal traffic though, People only go on holiday in the summer to Menorca Spain. Traffic is up to 30,000+ organic in the summer per month, maybe 5k in the winter.
I have affiliates but only one that really pays ok, I generally get £12k per year of orders for a private hire taxi service from the airport – Suntransfers. I get some bookings for trips etc.., about £300 in affiliate payments, and Google AdSense makes me £600 per year.
What would you do to zoom the earnings up or should I sell the site? Do you want to buy it! lol.
I also have a newsletter which I have just started and has 100+ subs. I send out a weekly newsletter with some affiliate deals etc…
Hi Nigel, I’m just one of Marcus’s followers, but I have had a 50 year career in offline sales and marketing, and have been building websites since 1995, quite a few eCommerce stores, some more successful than others. (Here’s one of them, just as an example – https://customwovenblankets.com )
I checked out your Menorca website, you’ve clearly put a lot of effort into that, and perhaps Marcus will take a look at it and give you some ideas.
If he doesn’t, and if you’re interested, I could give you some pointers on how to increase your returns on the site. You have a lot of information there, maybe too much, and I find it confusing as to how you’ve mixed up information in some sections that don’t belong together. Plus, I don’t see you deliberately leading your audience to specific offers, instead it’s kind of all over the place and visitors are just left to enter and roam around on their own, which I’ve found is never a good idea. So there are a lot of easy and practical things that I think you could do, to improve all that. After doing all that work that you have, and since you get the traffic you need in the warmer months, it would be a real shame to let it all go when you’re on the bring of being able to turn that site into something dynamic.
Anyway, just thought I’d offer some help, no cost at all, just trying to support a fellow web-builder.
All the best, Paul in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Hi Marcus,
My name is Jacqueline. I am 45 my main issue with making online are the changes companies make after you are used to their current way of doing things. I have been a reseller with a big name companies since 2015, it was just a side job so not entirely a huge deal until 2021 hit. At that point I tried to make more money at reselling which seemed impossible. Since than everything I knew about the company I worked with has gone downhill. Most of my serious issues has stemmed from all the changes made after 2023, so when it rolled over to 2024. At this point I have been boycotting them, and it’s hurting no one but myself, idiot. At this point I have found a new platform that has a free version kinda like Shopify and am currently trying to set up my business on there but it’s proving to be pretty time consuming for what I am trying to do so it is still being created due to lots of inventory needing to be listed. What my business consist of is going to be custom beadwork/ jewelry making that is created by the customer. I think that sums up the main points in my online experience.
Dear Marcus,
I initially signed up for a program with you years ago, but due to my job as a GM(long hours) some issues with my spouse, all of the efforts went by the wayside. Fast forward to November 2024, I found myself at a crucial crossroad as my GM position had been snatched from under be due to the franchisee of the restaurant chain I was dedicated to suddenly closed 8 of 10 locations. I had little resources but decided it was time to make a change. The first six-weeks were rough… Waiting on unemployment takes its time. My first lump sum, I invested in an offer you had for aiprofits scoop for a fantastic price to get a jump into what I want to be my greatest year ever. I did not hear from anyone for a few weeks so I inquired and got an immediate response from Tina. Wonderful! I got a list of videos to study and then we get new ones all the time, while awaiting a domain that you approve that will get me further along in my pursuit. In the meantime I tried my hands on making an Instagram post to promote a valentines day floral offer I found on Max Bounty. I was proud of my accomplishment on creating a Instagram post even though I made $0, I am confident that with a little more direction, I can more that succeed at this new lifestyle. I signed up for the bootcamp so that just maybe I can find a step-by-step path to making a decent living in this new age. I enjoy the prospects of creating content that others will enjoy and learn from. I enjoy the new, for me, adventure and I know that this WILL be work, but not nearly as hard as working at least 60 hours a week, maybe more to barely see the sun rise because I am already at work, or seeing the sun set because I am still at work. I have created a lot of content for my new domain and am excited to get going. I have a few offers at Max bounty that ties right into the idea of the site. My mind is going into overdrive to understand how to both get traffic and convert that traffic into value for my guests. I am not a guru at this part, but I am excited about the many ways to make a few dollars from just getting one to leave their email address without any purchase but also not promote gimmicks. I have the utmost confidence that with your assistance and some guided direction from you that I will be able to free myself from the confines of what many see as a norm. The main challenge now is that my source of funds is at its limit and I am starting to have to work more and more to make this happen, but I am dedicated to making this my life. Man, that is a lot and I don’t want to be too long. All in all, a lot of the struggles for me, can be alleviated if we can get at least a step-by-step to make, let’s say, $100 a day with something simple for a novice like me that I can implement with little costs ($100 or so) until we can see the fruits of our efforts with the site. It makes it easier to be creative when you have a solid foundation to start with and I know that you are providing that with your incredible offers. I hope to be able to repay you in the near future for all of your invaluable insights to this industry and how to capitalize on it. Thank you Marcus and team
Would like some ideas on how to calm my inner A.D.D.. I just wanted to thank you for all of your lessons and all the value. I have to learn the skill of doing things in an order. I have that shiny ball, look there is a monkey , I would like spaghetti tonight thing going. I chose urls like https://saltlightspirit.com/ and zerostressmarketing.com and then spin out by thinking I can do it all. Love the Wednesday lessons. I work Friday through Monday from 7 – 6 p.m… for the parks department. Would like to retire doing something I enjoy from home.
Hi Marcus,
I am currently residing in a homeless shelter in Washington D.C.
The numerous distractions in this shelter are the main reasons why I am finding it hard to succeed online due to the lack of peace and quiet as well as the lack of having a secluded place to study internet marketing information.
If you were to award me the $500 cash prize, I would spend a portion of the money on staying at a cheap motel for 3 days which would allow me the privacy to communicate with you and cultivate a plan of action for my online business success.
The other portion of the $500 would be used to start a relationship with you via the $17 a month plan you have for novice online marketers.
Thank you for allowing me to express myself.
Hi Marcus,
I’ve spent the past 10 years as an over the road truck driver, but being home only 12 weekends a year has made it difficult to spend time with my family. About a year ago, I started looking into affiliate marketing as a way to transition into a career that offers more flexibility and balance. My goal is to move on from trucking and build a career that allows me to work from home, giving me more time with my family while still providing financial stability. I’ve been working hard to build websites and create something sustainable for myself. It’s been a challenging and learning process, your insights and strategies have been incredibly valuable along the way, and they’ve kept me motivated. I just wanted to say thank you for this opportunity and all that you share it’s making a real difference as I work toward building a new future.
There are a ton of videos out on how to make to do affiliate marketing. Everyday a new video comes out. The main question is where to start and what tools will be needed to succeed.
I’m Kevin a disabled veteran in a program after toxic relationships and trauma and I’m getting better everyday. Not in a hurry to make a lot of money I just want to build assets for a long term strategy while I get better. A lot of folks on here are worse off than me so I wish blessings on their life and clarity in their choices and decisions. Took me a while together there. So best of luck guys.
Hi Marcus,
This is a great idea – whether for $500 or not, it’s great to have a sounding board to bounce some ideas off. Thank you!!! So, let me cut to the chase: I am completely new to affiliate marketing. I’ve been looking at videos by Ferdy Koerpershoek, Web Squadron, Adam Enfroy, and your good self of course, and as a newbie, it’s challenging to know where exactly to start. ChatGPT suggests ClickBank, not least of all because it has affiliate offers which don’t always require approval. I’ve built a WP site with Elementor Pro, including Yoast Premium and Semrush, and the content is primarily from ChatGPT (images from DALL-E, videos from Sora). The site isn’t online yet. But you know, it’s only a matter of days, or even weeks…
Anyway, I’ve decided to concentrate on Finance, AI and Home Living, in no particular order. The apps/ software suggested by ChatGPT, say for example, You Need A Budget (YNAB,) all have affiliate programs, as a matter of fact, you can get GPT to list out the niche, sub-niche, name of software, affiliate payout, pricing, and a whole lot of other criteria to pack into a listicle or use as the basis for a pillar article etc etc etc. Nothing new there. And yes, presumably with some good keyword research, a bit of luck and a prayer, there is a statistical chance at having someone click on your links.
What I am inexperienced with – in particular – is how to go about getting approval from affiliate platforms. This seems to me to be an essential part of guaranteeing being paid. What advice can you give on this topic? I’ve read that new sites are often taken lightly by affiliate managers (no backlinks, no traffic, no proof of efficacy). Is there a tried and trusted way of ensuring approval for a new site? How do you go about this? Is there a certification or something similar that the website ought to have on it? As I mentioned, I’ve looked at ClickBank products, but a lot of them look like fly-by-nights – you just wouldn’t trust them. Whereas the more substantial products/ product-names seem to have affiliate programs with more substance. Maybe getting involved with them is more profitable. Do you have an opinion on this?
Thanks for your feedback Marcus! I enjoy your videos, you always seem to have novel ways at approaching stuff. Great work!
Hey Marcus,
I’ve been researching online business opportunities for a while, and I always come back to the pet niche—it’s what I’m most passionate about. I’ve even written a book on starting a pet sitting business and created some useful forms to offer for free. I recently joined ClickBank and started their Spark course, but I’m struggling with how to actually get started and tie affiliate marketing into my pet niche.
I see so many people successfully offering free resources to lead into paid products, but I’m stuck on how to structure that process and make it work. What do I need to create or put together to get started? How do I effectively offer something for free and turn that into sales? I know once I have a clear path, I can run with it—I just need that initial push in the right direction.
I’d love your insight on how to set this up and finally take action. Thanks for everything you do!
Love your videos and all of your wonderful, practical advice Marcus. I’ve written an ebook after following a PDF farming course and now feel stuck in how to actually sell it. The platform wants to “one-click install” on Go High Level. While I tried to do that, the system is advanced if you want to customize anything and in my opinion not for beginners. Things that were supposed to take me an hour have taken days and I’m being frustrated at this point. It’s also super expensive for someone just starting out. While I’d like to do it eventually, I don’t have the capital right now. With other things, I’m stuck on how to make the income and caught in “analysis paralysis” feeling overwhelmed with the choices and wanting to make it work. I’m a solo mom on a stress leave so I don’t have the time to be online posting to socials three times a day (as suggested by the PDF Farming thing). I also don’t love just reusing someone else’s videos. I had thought about doing something with French since I’m bilingual, but I’m worried I’ll spend so much time getting something set up that won’t be profitable that I’m kind of frozen.
Thanks again for all you do!
Hi Marcus,
My name is Heather. I have been a foster parent to high-needs kids for the past 27 years. Recently (August 2024), my 3 boys were moved out of my home. One moved back to family, the other two are in higher, more secure staffed homes. After much deliberation in my head, I have decided that this is where I must leave my fostering career. I am very much continuing to be a part of my boys’ lives as I am their person and the only real family they know.
The problem is that this leaves me with no income. I know that working from home and online is the only way I will make this work. I am unable to work a regular job as I have some nerve conditions in my legs that don’t allow me great mobility. I’ve tinkered around online, learning different things, but I have always been too paralyzed to allow anything to work and allow the income to start flowing. I’ve been on many trainings and purchased many products from you. I think my problem is a fear of … success?
In the meantime, I have found a way to make a bit of money online, but it is not enough to pay the bills, and I want to get that happening quickly as I am burning through my retirement savings. What I really need are some fast cash solutions that are easy to make with AI, and then to finally get busy on the 3 websites that I have already purchased from you and get them to start receiving traffic and converting that to income.
Thanks so much for you help Marcus and all that you do.
Hi Marcus,
I’m an 81 year old retired copywriter and published author. At least my fingers still work. (keyboard)
I notice that most of these responses are full of excuses and sad stories. I got kinda depressed reading them.
I don’t have any excuses… I know who to blame… I see him in the mirror when shave so I quit shaving.
I have a new project that is related to the elderly… I have a book and a lot of sales copy but need to figure out the best marketing methods.
What I need is a good kick in the butt and a simple step by step plan to follow.
I’m going to jump into Profit Scoop and start watching/reading. I’ll figure it out.
Thanks for the great videos and resources…. you have your own folder on my desktop.
Ha! Love that one, good on ya Chuck.
‘I see him in the mirror when shave so I quit shaving.’ – I’m going to remember that one.
Am sure a man with your credentials will figure this game out.
Yes the stories here are sad, and tough. Seems like a lot of folks are in the same boat, struggling with self doubt and how to put the first pieces into place in order to gain momentum. I’ve been through all that so many times. And now with AI progressing at lightening speed, it’s a real challenge just trying to keep up with anything.
All the best,
Paul, 69, in Daytona Beach, just one of Marcus’s followers.
Hey Marcus,
Well I was going to explain my situation and my challenges, but after reading the other stories above, I realize that there are a lot of others who are far more deserving of your help than I am.
So I will pass, and hope that you can help some of these folks.
Looking forward to this session today, thanks.

PS: Did you know that your “Are you a human” captcha puzzle never accepts the correct answer the first time? It keeps saying there was a captcha error, even with the correct answer. One has to then reload the page after trying it a couple of times, and then input in the answer to the new captcha question, and then it works. Happens every time one tries to make a post or a comment. Just FYI.
