In today's issue:

I used to drift between “interesting” markets until I saw what really moves money: obsession, not casual fans. The sailors who sneak to the dock at 6 a.m., the golfers who treat a new wedge like a newborn, the hobbyists who think about their thing even when they’re supposed to be working. Once I saw that level of emotional heat, it was obvious why these niches print: people buy more when the thing owns them.

Now, that changed the way I choose markets. Because sailors aren’t alone. There’s the Law of Attraction crowd buying everything from magic rocks to six-week manifesting programs. There’s the astrology crowd paying for charts, readings, and personality breakdowns.

Those markets work for one simple reason: you can sell to someone who already wants the thing. Which means your job isn’t to convince — it’s to show up where the demand is already moving.

But here’s the part most beginners skip. Passion only helps if the market pays. You can be the hardest-working person in a tiny, broke niche and still end up broke with them. So before you crown your “forever market,” pull up the data: are people buying? Are there active products? Do buyers talk about this daily? If yes, you’ve found a real market. If not, you’ve found a hobby.

I went through this myself because I love entrepreneurship. If I wake up with nothing on the calendar, I’m still poking around new business models. But that only mattered after I confirmed the market was loud, active, and full of paying customers. Because obsession gives you energy, but only the market gives you money.

Choose one potential niche this week and run a single test to prove it has paying buyers.

Want an income stream that doesn’t depend on posting, hustling, or praying the algorithm behaves?

This is the system that lets you wake up to sales — with emails you didn’t even write, going out automatically, making money in the background.

Most people think the fastest way to level up is to “build a network.” They picture this magical Rolodex that unlocks shortcuts and secret doors. But when you’re just starting, that belief slows you down because you end up chasing handshakes instead of customers.

When you’re just starting as an affiliate marketer, networking is not what you need. You’re not running events, managing teams, or partnering on product launches. You’re just trying to get one offer to convert so you can cover your bills. That’s why beginners who obsess over “relationships” end up exhausted because they’re investing in a tool they don’t need yet.

Here’s the truth: your first wins come from execution, not introductions. Because until you have results, the only people who want to network with you are other beginners hoping you have the missing piece. So, you should tighten your focus, build the funnel, run the ads, and get the clicks that turn into cash. That work is what turns strangers into collaborators later.

Now, once you have traction, everything flips. People find you, and opportunities show up. Your skills and your numbers make you valuable, which means the right doors open without you pushing on them.

So the real rule is simple: build proof first, then build your circle.

Jacob Caris isn’t your typical “I escaped a dead-end job” story. He was a winning A-student, Wall Street desk, big hours, big paycheck — and he still walked away. The moment he said he was doing 80-hour weeks and getting sick from the grind, I knew this wasn’t rebellion. It was clarity.

The wild part? He didn’t jump into affiliate marketing with a grand plan. He treated it like a shot worth taking. And that shot turned into a $100,000 commission day… backed by a tiny audience he built with strategy, not luck. He even had people in the launch group asking, “Who is this guy?” because he out-opted everyone with a 7,000-person push built from a messenger bot and $1–2 leads.

Jacob proves you don’t need a huge following; you need leverage, timing, and the guts to start sooner than everyone else.

If you want to hear how he engineered that win, and how he thinks about risk, assets, and growing a name, this one’s worth your time.

If your marketing ever feels like you’re yelling into the wind, this book is the microphone you’ve been missing. Miller reveals the single biggest messaging mistake entrepreneurs make: You’re trying to be the hero instead of the guide.

Your customer wants to be Luke Skywalker. Your job is to be Yoda, hand them the lightsaber, and point to the path.

Once you get this, your copy becomes clearer, your offers make more sense, and buyers finally “get” you.

The tips are simple, practical, and immediately usable.
