    How Chahid Kari Became Hormozi’s #1 Affiliate | Chahid Kari

    Affiliate marketing success stories are often framed as expensive ad campaigns or massive influencer pushes. But sometimes, strategy, timing, and execution matter far more than budget. In one of the most competitive affiliate challenges ever run, Chahid Kari proved exactly that, turning just $44 and 48 hours of focus into the #1 affiliate spot for Alex Hormozi’s book launch against 13 million competitors. In this episode, Chahid breaks down exactly how he pulled it off. From creating a lead magnet his audience already wanted, to engineering a 10%+ CTR on Instagram stories, to running smart outreach through WhatsApp and email, he reveals the step-by-step funnel he built to drive thousands of signups almost overnight. Chahid also explains why he ignored the U.S. market, how a single content post brought in 100,000+ views and 4,000 clicks, and the crucial role that generosity and prior relationship-building played in securing an influencer boost. You’ll hear how skills, hard work, and the principle of “give first” translate into not just a leaderboard win, but new clients and long-term credibility. Chahid Kari is the founder of CONQUER, where he helps VC-backed B2B SaaS founders raise money faster and scale smarter. He focuses on product metrics, cost-efficient growth channels, and brand storytelling that attracts investors. Beyond client work, Chahid has become known for his ability to engineer high-leverage campaigns, most notably when he captured the #1 affiliate spot in Hormozi’s global challenge with minimal spend.
