Or: How a 58-Year-Old Canadian Got Tired of Watching His Generation Get Screwed

Hey there.

I’m James. I’m 58, I live in Canada, and I started this whole affiliate marketing thing in 2021 because I looked at my retirement savings and thought, “Yeah, this isn’t gonna cut it.”

Maybe you can relate.

The “Get a Good Job, Work Till 65, Live Your Dream” Lie

You know what we were promised, right?

Get a good education. Get a good job. Work hard. Put money away. Retire at 65. THEN live your dream life.

Except that’s not what’s happening.

Instead, I’m watching Gen X and Boomers work past 65 because they have to. Not because they want to. Because the math doesn’t add up anymore.

And here’s the part that really gets me: I’ve seen way too many friends die before they even hit 65.

Makes you think, “What the hell is the point of waiting?”

Why are we postponing the vacation we want to take? Why are we waiting to “retire” before we actually start living?

Spoiler alert: We shouldn’t be.

How I Got Here (The Long, Expensive Way)

In 2021, I decided to do something about it. I started learning affiliate marketing from home, in my spare time, to generate some extra income.

Good news: I’ve made thousands of dollars since then.

Bad news: I spent way more than that learning how to do it.

I got screwed over by shady characters selling courses that promised the moon and delivered, well, nothing. I bought program after program that was supposed to be “the answer.”

Did I feel like an idiot sometimes?

Hell yeah.

There were moments where I thought, “This is it. I’m done. This is never going to work.”

But something interesting happened along the way.

I kept thinking: “If you could just figure this out, you could help other people do the same thing – but save them the heartache, the frustration, and the ridiculous costs.”

That thought kept me going.

Like Rocky, coming back after beating after beating.

Eye of the Tiger, baby.

Why I’m Still Here (And Why I’m Telling You This)

Because somebody needs to tell the truth about this stuff.

Most of the people teaching affiliate marketing are either:

1. 20-year-olds who’ve never had a real job
2. Gurus selling you a dream they’re not actually living
3. Scam artists who prey on desperate people

I’m none of those things.

I’m just a guy who figured out how this works, made some money, made a LOT of mistakes, and decided that if I could help even one person avoid the crap I went through, it would be worth it.

What I Actually Do Here

I’m not promising you’ll quit your job and buy a yacht.

I’m not selling you a $2,000 course that unlocks “the secret.”

What I am doing is showing you how to build a realistic, sustainable affiliate marketing business that can generate an extra $200-$2,000 per month.

Why that range?

Because $200 a month can make a real difference. That’s a car payment. That’s groceries. That’s the vacation fund you’ve been putting off.

And $2,000 a month? That changes your retirement picture completely.

My Approach (No BS, No Hype)

Here’s what you’ll get from me:

Honest reviews. If a tool or program sucks, I’ll tell you. If it’s worth the money, I’ll tell you that too. I don’t promote garbage just to make a commission.

Real strategies. Things that actually work for people who have full-time jobs, responsibilities, and limited time.

Straight talk. I’m not going to pretend this is easy or fast. It takes work. But it’s doable, and it’s way better than working till you’re 70.

80s references. Way too many of them. You’ve been warned.

What I Want For You

If you’re reading this, you’re probably somewhere between 45 and 65, looking at your retirement savings, and feeling a little nervous about the future.

I get it. I’m right there with you.

My hope is that I can help you:

• Build an extra income stream that gives you breathing room
• Avoid the expensive mistakes I made (seriously, I wasted so much money)
• Take that trip you’ve been postponing – do it now, don’t wait till you’re “retired”
• Actually enjoy your life instead of just grinding till 65 and hoping there’s something left

Look, I’m not going to save the world.

But if I can help someone make enough extra money each month to take a vacation NOW instead of waiting 10 years, or to retire a few years earlier, or just to stop stressing about every unexpected expense?

Then I’ll feel like I’ve made a difference.

Let’s Do This Together

I’m still building this thing. I’m still learning. I’m still making mistakes.

But I’m also making money, and I’m figuring out what works.

And I’m going to share it all with you – the good, the bad, and the stuff that made me want to throw my laptop out the window.

Because we’re in this together.

P.S. – Remember in Rocky III when Apollo tells Rocky he’s lost the “eye of the tiger”? That fire, that hunger? That’s what this is about. Getting that fire back. Building something that gives you options. You’ve still got it in you. Let’s go.
