Pot-Pie Girl's blog post. How I Accidentally Created A Simple (and profitable!) Blog Post Pinterest Loves… And It Wasn’t Yet Another Standard Round Up Post “Self,” I said – “How can I improve on the same ‘ol, same ‘ol Round Up style post that readers will like better AND be more profitable?” And by accident, I figured it out. In fact, the idea hit me when I was poking around on Pinterest looking for something for my own family! An idea so simple… that turned out to be SO effective! Introducing… The NEW RoundUp!

The Igor Kheifets podcast. Jeff Vacek didn’t just stumble into affiliate marketing. He spent twenty years running webinars, JV deals, and trying every traffic experiment you can think of. At some point, his e-commerce businesses ran themselves, so he stepped in to run Offer Wave. What stood out to me is how simple his best advice is, and how few people actually do it. Jeff says most affiliates act like hobbyists, not business owners. Get an LLC, track your numbers, and know your audience better than they know themselves. It’s not flashy, but it’s why the best stay on top. If he had to start today, he wouldn’t chase offers first. He’d build a brand. A brand pulls people in, gives you leverage, and makes every promotion feel like a real conversation, not just a cold pitch. https://www.listbuildinglifestyleshow.com/secrets-to-affiliate-success-with-jeff-vacek/

Someone’s asked in a group I post this series in if there’ll be dragons in it, so please keep following it as that’s lead me on to some new ideas which I hope you’ll find to be good fun Barry Profiter straightened his slightly crooked wizard hat as the heavy oak doors creaked open. The words “Nicheology 101” shimmered above the entrance, though they seemed to ripple like water, as if daring him to step through. Inside, there was no classroom at all. Instead, Barry found himself standing at the edge of a glowing labyrinth. The walls were high and made of shifting, enchanted stone that hummed with faint whispers. Every few seconds, golden signposts emerged from the walls, pointing down different twisting paths: - Crypto Caverns - Pet Palace - DIY Dungeon - Mindset Mountains - Keto Kingdom Each sign flickered invitingly, as though trying to hypnotise him. Barry swallowed hard. It’s just a maze, he told himself. But deep down, he knew Hogwash’s teachers never made anything simple. From somewhere in the distance, he heard Professor Nicholena’s disembodied voice:“Choose wisely, Profiter. The wrong choice will lead you deeper into confusion.” The Temptations of the Maze Barry took his first steps into the Crypto Caverns, following the glowing trail. The walls lit up with glittering coins that floated in the air like fireflies. His heart raced. So much gold! This must be the jackpot! But as he reached out to grab one, the coins burst into smoke. The floor crumbled beneath him, and Barry barely leapt back in time. From below came the echoing laughter of unseen creatures. He turned and ran into another corridor—this one marked DIY Dungeon. At first, it seemed promising. Sturdy tools hung on the walls, and blueprints glowed with possible fortunes. But the tools started to shake violently. Suddenly, a swarm of gremlins leapt from the shadows, hurling broken hammers and bent nails.“Quick riches here, boy! Start a blog about everything! Everything!” they shrieked. Barry swung his wand desperately. “Unsubscribe-us!” he yelled, but the gremlins only cackled louder.

Barry Profiter’s third week at Hogwash Affiliate Academy was already proving tricky. He’d only just escaped the Chamber of Low Conversions when Professor Bumbleblog marched him into a new class: “Defence Against the Shiny Objects.” The classroom sparkled like a Black Friday sale. Shimmering funnels, glowing “Push-Button Profit” boxes, and neon-coloured “Secret AI Hacks” danced through the air. Each glittered more enticingly than the last. Barry’s eyes widened.“Blimey, Professor, are these the shortcuts to internet riches?” Professor Bumbleblog sighed, stroking his long white beard.“No, Barry. These are distractions. Shiny Objects. They promise everything… but deliver nothing.” At the back of the room, Draco Clickbait smirked, already stuffing his satchel with every glowing gizmo he could grab. Barry, meanwhile, reached out towards a gleaming “$10k Overnight System.” Suddenly, the object exploded into smoke, leaving behind a scroll that read: “You could have built your email list instead.” The class laughed, and Barry’s cheeks turned scarlet. The Lesson Shiny Object Syndrome is one of the deadliest curses in affiliate life. Every week, there’s a new tool, a “done-for-you” miracle, or a secret hack. But here’s the truth: Consistency beats constant distraction. Focus on building one system at a time — ideally your email list. Stick with proven methods until you master them. In the world of digital marketing, chasing glitter leaves you broke. Building steadily leaves you profitable. Barry scribbled notes furiously in his battered grimoire of marketing.“Right then,” he muttered. “From now on, I’ll focus on one spell at a time… preferably the ‘Build-a-List Charm.’” Professor Bumbleblog smiled.“Well done, Barry. You may yet survive this business.” Draco Clickbait, meanwhile, was still sneezing from a self-combusting “Push-Button ATM.” Final Thought Affiliate wizardry isn’t about who has the flashiest gadget. It’s about focus, persistence, and building assets that last. Or, as they say at Hogwash:“Ignore the glitter. Chase the gold.”
