Case Study

The Smart Online Journey Case Study

Follow along as I participate in an Affiliate Marketing bootcamp designed to teach people how to build a $100k affiliate business from scratch. Real steps, real results, a few stumbles – and plenty of laughs along the way.

What This Case Study Is All About

Starting an online business can feel like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions (and yes, there will be leftover screws). That’s why I decided to turn Smart Online Journey into a real-time demonstration.

This case study follows my 15-week journey through the Wealthy Affiliate Bootcamp, where the program is designed to teach you how to build an affiliate business that has the potential to earn $100,000 per year.

Now, let’s be clear – nobody’s promising a magic ATM machine in 15 weeks. What you’ll see here is the process: choosing a niche, building a site, creating content, learning SEO, experimenting with digital tools, and figuring out what works (and laughing at what doesn’t).

Think of it as your backstage pass to:

  • ✅ Real steps I’m taking each week (the wins, the fails, and every messy thing in between)
  • ✅ Honest insights into what it actually takes to get a site off the ground
  • ✅ A no-hype, “learn alongside me” approach you won’t find in those get-rich-quick ads

If you’ve ever wondered whether affiliate marketing is worth trying – or if you just want to see someone else trip over the tech hurdles before you do – this series is for you. Follow along each week, or, just join me in bootcamp.
