From a Romanian student to building AFFILIFY
Hi, I'm Andrew and I'm with nothing better than you. I'm from a small village in Romania and I am a student at the local school. About one year ago, I reached my peak: I had great friends, high grades, and I was seeing my crush on the side. Everything was going as planned.
But then, in December 2024, something hit me. I realized that I don't just want to be that normal guy, I wanted something different. That one thought changed everything, my crush became just another girl and my friends became some annoying people. I knew I had to do something.
Back then, I didn't know anything about how to make money online, but I knew that was the best way. I tried Dropshipping and it failed, I tried Copywriting and it failed, I tried making money through social media and that failed as well.
By now it was New Year's and I was feeling a little bit depressed, I didn't have any friends to party with and no girl to kiss. On top of that, my ambition didn't lead to any result, and I made absolutely no money from it. I wanted to quit.
At about 1 am I saw a post about an affiliate marketing website and how much it was making. It seemed like I hit gold. I started immediately, I signed up for an affiliate program and picked my product. Then I realized that I had no idea on how to make a website, so I started looking for alternatives, all the free programs gave out, and the ones I had to pay for didn't work out as well.
I was back to depression. I had done nothing useful. I lost everything that took me years to get. ALL for NOTHING. Then I remembered all the nights in which I dreamed of succeeding, of proving everybody wrong. I wasn't gonna let that dream fade away.
Ok I guess that by now you know that I'm joking. What actually happened was I tried to recover my old life and it didn't work out. So I sat back down on my chair and started thinking: What should I do? What should I do?...
Finally, after like a week, I came to this idea: I will make a tool that will give everybody a chance to start affiliate marketing. For that I needed to build a website, so I started studying, and studying, and studying some more.
It was March, I finally learned how to write some code. I started writing, checking the list that I made every time to see if I made mistakes. I didn't add the AI yet, but I just wanted to see how the website would work. I started deploying-error another deployment-error. I kept receiving errors like this for a month.
It was already April. I thought that instead of losing time deploying I should first find a way to integrate the main AI bot. I started researching again. Only after a month I had found the solution. It was going to cost me, but what was my scholarship for anyway?
I started integrating-error another error and even more errors. Finally, after another three weeks I succeeded. Now I had to set up payment, legal terms and domains. Fortunately, I didn't have any problems with that.
And here we are, we got to the point where I'm writing this. I just want you to know that if you got here, you're probably a way better person than me because honestly, if the roles were switched, I wouldn't have done the same.
