Affiliate Marketing After 40

Affiliate Marketing After 40

Welcome to Affiliate Marketing After 40 - the podcast for midlife misfits, late bloomers, and everyday rebels who are ready to rewrite the rules, reclaim their freedom, and build an honest online income without the hype. If you’ve followed society’s "rules" - study hard, work harder, raise a family - only to find yourself in midlife wondering “Is this really it?”, you’re in the right place. After being medically retired from a career in a maximum-security prison (yep, really), I turned to affiliate marketing as a path to freedom. I’m not here to pretend I’ve ‘made it’ - I'm here to share.

    The Part No One Talks About in Online Business But You’ll Definitely Feel It

    The emotional toll of building a business online isn’t talked about enough - and it’s one of the biggest reasons people give up too soon.

You’re just in the hard part - and that’s where growth happens. 🔹 We’ll talk about: The emotional cost of building something from scratch (especially after 40)Why the “messy middle” feels so hard - but matters the most. Practical things that are helping me stay the course.
