Field notes from a first affiliate business
Building an affiliate business that lasts, in public.
I’m putting Nate McCallister’s Evergreen Affiliate Marketing into practice and writing down every step: what I tried, what it earned and what I learned.
How I write these
The honest version of affiliate marketing
Real numbers
Traffic, clicks and commissions as they happen, including the months that show zero.
Test, then report
Each lesson from the book gets tried on a live site before I say whether it works.
Wins and misses
What worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently, so you can skip my mistakes.
