It's Sad to Say How Much I Have Spent on Make Money Online Courses and Never Made a Single Sale
Ignoring These 6 Steps Could Cost You Even More of Your Hard-Earned Money I’ve been there. I’ve spent more than I care to admit on make-money-online courses, systems, blueprints, secret strategies....whatever you want to call them. Some were decent, most were garbage, and for a long time, I had nothing to show for it. No sales. No momentum. Just another login to another dashboard collecting digital dust. And if you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or like you’re just throwing money at the next “big thing” hoping it works… I get it. The truth is, it’s not just about finding the right course. It’s about doing the right things in the right order. That’s what changed everything for me. So before you buy another program that promises you the world but leaves you stranded, make sure you’re not skipping these six steps: 1. Pick ONE Business Model & Stick to It Shiny object syndrome kills more online businesses than anything else. Every week, there’s a new “hot” method—crypto, ecom, agency, SMMA, you name it. But if you’re constantly jumping ship, you’ll never build momentum. Affiliate marketing is simple, scalable, and doesn’t require product creation or client headaches. Stick with it, refine your approach, and don’t get distracted. 2. Focus on Offers That Actually Convert Not all affiliate programs are created equal. You can drive all the traffic in the world, but if the offer is weak, it’s a waste of time. You need to promote something that’s already proven to sell—high-converting sales pages, solid commissions, and ideally, recurring revenue. That’s why I only focus mostly on high-ticket affiliate programs that make real money with fewer sales. 3. Build Your Audience First Most people try to sell before they build trust. Big mistake. Whether it’s organic content, an email list, or a Skool community, you need a place where people know, like, and trust you before they buy. Otherwise, you’re just another random person pushing an affiliate link. 4. Use Paid Traffic to Speed Things Up
