Hey, it's Niall 👋
Is affiliate marketing dead? 😵
Having earned $1M+ as an affiliate myself, I get asked that all the time.
My answer?
No, affiliate marketing isn't dead.
But it has evolved 📈
Blog-style affiliate sites that rely on Google for traffic?
That's the old model, and it's running out of gas.
Nowadays the serious affiliate money is being earned by creators on big platforms 👀
Real examples I've highlighted before...
$5000/month posting video reviews on Amazon
$30K/year reviewing software for a small audience on YouTube
$1588 in one month via affiliate links in Medium articles
$10K+ per month showing off products on TikTok
This week I came across loads more examples of the latter in a private community.
Details below 👇 along with several other fresh business ideas.

TIKTOK | AFFILIATE MARKETING
He Earned $9913 From This Simple 30-Second Video
15M views on this TikTok posted by Keith Murphy in January.
He gets paid when someone buys the hoodie featured in the video (aka TikTok Shop).
Keith sold ~6000 units in Jan-Feb and earned $9913 commission 🤑
He shares his story in the Social Army community (affiliate link)...
I'm a physical education teacher full time. I've been doing TikTok Shop for about 7 months, started right around the beginning of December...
Prior to TikTok Shop I had zero experience with affiliate marketing, but I did have TikTok experience, I used to just post videos for a few years…
My first sale was on December 8th... ended up doing $100-200 my first month…
Then in January alone 👇
I ended up doing $14,000 in commission…
To this day I've done a little over $32,000 in commission while also working a full-time job... I'm a teacher during the day, TikTok Shop at night
Another video that's done well for him: Hotel pillows!!!!
1.8M views and about $2K commission 💰
Really impressive considering how simple his videos are.

How To Earn $1000's Per Month on TikTok
I found Keith's story inside Social Army, which teaches you how to do affiliate marketing on TikTok.
Aside from the highly-rated training, you'll find 3 hours of case studies in there 😍
Including…
Alex: started mid-February, has earned $97K+ commission.
Sheri: stay-at-home mom, started March, $100K commissions by June.
Joao: started June last year, earned $60K commission in 90 days.
Social Army has an impressive 4.9-star rating from over 260 reviews, and you can try it free for 7 days – no risk, all reward 👍
One of the many positive reviews…
I was basically a brand new TikTok Shop affiliate that only made $956 my first 45 days when I joined… I learned new LIVE skills using their courses and scripts and made $7,400 the first two weeks after joining!

LOCAL SERVICE
The $200K/Year Business Required By Law Almost Everywhere
📝 Tim Richard writes…
Every commercial building — office, restaurant, retail, church, school — is legally required to maintain working fire extinguishers…
There are people pulling in $5K–$15K/month just driving around and checking fire extinguishers…
One guy in Texas reportedly runs this solo and clears over $200K/year…
🇺🇸 In the USA…
You can get certified online through NFPA.org, the National Fire Protection Agency.
It costs $499, and once you pass, you’re a Certified Fire Extinguisher Technician…
Once certified, you can start inspecting fire extinguishers the next day.
Tim crunches the numbers 👇
Let’s say you inspect 20 extinguishers at one office complex.
That’s $500–$700 for a quick job that takes under an hour.
Do that monthly or quarterly, add in upsells and the revenue compounds fast.

How to Make $500 Per Day with Replit AI
👀 Nic Conley recently posted on YouTube…
Today I had Justin Brooke on to talk about how to turn a $25 Replit account into a $500/day business.
💬 Inspired by Justin's tweet…
If all I had was $50, and I had to make money quickly, this is what I would do…
1. Open Google maps and search some high end services like CPA, real estate, auto detailer, etc
2. Find the one who has the ugliest website.
3. Open the Replit app and give it this prompt:
Build me a 1 page website. I want the navigation menu at the top to say home, about, reviews, services, contact. When the user clicks those menu items it scrolls them down to that section. Use HTML, CSS, and JS for this build. Pull in the reviews from this Google maps profile [link] and also pull information for the about, services, and contact section from their old website here [link]. For the contact section add a Google maps profile from their Google map profile and add their contact information but no contact form.
4. After you pick up your jaw in shock of how good the landing page it built is, make a 2 minute loom video showing off the website.
Then send that to the business owner and offer them the website 👇
try to get $500. That’s a great deal, $250 ain’t bad either. Even if you only get $100, you’ll be making about $100/hr for the work you did

YOUTUBE
$3000+ Per Month Documenting His Boring Life
Stumbled across this faceless YouTube channel: Salaryman Tokyo 🇯🇵
Description…
Hi, I’m a salaryman working for a black company in Tokyo—a corporate culture many might call "modern slavery"...
I’ll share my experiences and give you an inside look at the realities of Japan’s work environment.
Channel is less than a year old, about 20 long-form videos and dozens of shorts 👀
Low production quality, just a guy documenting his cubicle lifestyle, probably filming on his phone.
14 million views so far, likely earning $3000+ per month just from ad revenue 💰
Definitely a trend of people documenting their (sometimes unremarkable) lives on YouTube and earning good money from it.

SAAS
$12K Per Month By Cloning a Popular Tool
📝 Evgenii Anikin writes about his $12K/month business…
Built my SaaS completely solo, which means no outside money, no fancy launch, just me, a laptop and a product that quietly solves a pain for people who pay every month.
The product is SocLeads, an email scraper for maps and social media, launched in 2022 🚀
Evgenii explains how he came up with the idea…
When I started, I thought making yet another data scraper was pointless… But after seeing tons of "unique" projects with literally zero users… I switched it up.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, I picked a busy niche, cloned the basics, and obsessed over just one real customer pain that everyone else ignored. Didn’t even try to make it "the best ever", just "the best for THIS thing."
It actually worked… I got paying users faster than with any original/innovative idea…
If you’re a first time founder, copy what works and just improve a few things. Forget the "unique genius" pressure.
