"This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small fee if you choose to purchase something."

The author is spending $6M a year on ads and is generating substantially more revenue than that, they claim. Why are they bothering with spare-change Amazon affiliate links? If they can get revenue like that, they should be making tons of money with their day job. What's wrong with this picture?




Nothing is wrong with this picture. Your thought process boils down to "OP should be making enough money at their day job, why would they try to make more?" which is ridiculous.


Agreed. It's leaving easy money on the table.


Because people who make money like to make money.


The author’s employer was spending that money, not them?


Author's past employer, too.
