1,700+ Days Without an Update: Where I've Been and When I'm Back

It’s been 4 years, 8 months and 11 days since my last update. I’m grateful to the community members who kept me in mind and often messaged to ask how I was doing and when I’d post again. Here’s a quick chat about what I did with those 1,700 days, and when regular updates resume!

1. Still on the Affiliate road. Over these years I’ve guided some community members and friends into running ads (no training courses, no fees), and not many of them are still around. It fits the 80/20 rule, I suppose. In fact, I think being shown the way alone isn’t enough to last in this industry; you need some core resources of your own.

2. Father of two. Most of my time goes to the kids (stay-at-home dad duty), and whenever I do have time it goes into testing and other matters, so there was almost no time to write. That’s the main reason.

3. Embracing AI. Writing an automation program or integrating some complex API used to be very hard for someone like me without a programming background. Now with AI, most of my ads can be automated, and even when I’m asleep or away on a trip I don’t have to worry about a few hundred dollars suddenly slipping away (anyone who lived through the Pop era knows the feeling).

4. The industry keeps changing. Stay in this industry without the ability to keep learning and adapting, and you get discarded. An example: last year Push publishers were still thriving; this year, as Google’s AI detection improved, nobody was spared the classic Chrome red warning screen. But if you gave up there instead of digging deeper, you missed the last play. Oh well.
