How I Built a $3M/Year Affiliate Marketing Business Using Social Media
My exact blueprint for ANYONE to build a 7-figure affiliate marketing business
From Side Hustle to a 7-Figure Income
5 years ago, I started affiliate marketing like most people:
I made a simple website and hoped it would rank on Google.
I tried random affiliate programs, not knowing what worked.
I followed outdated advice and barely made anything at first.
But over time, I figured out what actually works.
Now, I generate over $3M/year in affiliate commissions, working with 100+ different affiliate partners—without relying on one platform or chasing short-term trends.
The key? A smarter, multi-channel approach.

Joey Nguyen - COO at Academy.yt & Smart Affiliate Coach
Over the past 4 years working alongside Charlie, I’ve helped build out his systems, teams, and infrastructure behind one of the most successful affiliate-driven media companies on YouTube.
I didn’t just watch from the sidelines - I was in the trenches myself scaling my own content on the side, studying how Charlie made money online, and eventually applying those same strategies to build my own affiliate income.
Within my first year of scaling my content, I hit over 100 million views on YouTube, and I now earn 5-figures a year from just affiliate marketing (I don’t even work on my channel full-time). That kind of growth only happened because I was learning directly from Charlie and implemented the exact systems we built together.
If I tried to do this all on my own, it would’ve taken me years to learn, and I definitely wouldn’t have seen growth so fast. I had coaching, mentorship, and having a blueprint to follow, and I can’t recommend that enough for others looking to learn.
That’s what Smart Affiliate gives you - access to the exact systems and guidance that helped us get results. I’m proud to now coach inside the program and help others shortcut their path just like I did.

Why Most People Struggle with Affiliate Marketing
Here’s what I wish someone told me earlier:
Just having a website isn’t enough—SEO takes too long if you’re starting from scratch.
Spamming links on social media won’t work—people need to trust you first.
Relying on one traffic source (YouTube, TikTok, or Google Search) is risky—what happens if the algorithm changes?
Building a website isn’t enough. SEO takes too long if you’re starting from scratch.
Spamming affiliate links on social media won’t work. People need to trust you first.
Relying on 1 traffic source is SUPER risky. What happens if that shuts down?
The Smarter Way to Build an Affiliate Business
Instead of relying on one platform, I built a system that works across multiple traffic sources, so you’re never dependent on just one. Here’s what I’ll show you inside Smart Affiliate:

Why I Created This Course
I’ve shared a lot of free content on YouTube, but this course goes way, way deeper. In fact, these are secrets that I have been very hesitant to share for years due to competition...
I Built Smart Affiliate Because:
There’s too much bad advice online. This is the actual system I use to generate millions in commissions.
I want to help entrepreneurs who are getting into affiliate marketing build up their channels.
At the core, I’m education-first. Meaning, I should share my knowledge no matter what. No gate-keeping here!
If you want to learn how I was able to do $3M/year in affiliate marketing, this is the most detailed breakdown I’ve ever shared.
I built Smart Affiliate™ because:
There’s too much bad advice online—this is the actual system I use to generate millions in commissions.
I want to network with other like-minded, husters who are getting into affiliate marketing.

If you want to learn how I do affiliate marketing in 2025, this is the most detailed breakdown I’ve ever shared.
There’s too much bad advice online this is the actual system I use to generate millions in commissions.
I want to network with other like-minded, hustlers who are getting into affiliate marketing.
By joining, you’ll get access to:
My own affiliate network: I’ve negotiated deals that can pay up 300% higher than what’s available online. This has taken me years and many exhausting meetings to negotiate. Meaning, if you want an immediate boost to your affiliate income, you can join our selected affiliate programs and instantly make more from your sales.
Full course: Lifetime access to a library of detailed videos - teaching you everything I know about affiliate marketing. My usual consulting fee is $2k per hour, so numbers-wise this might be the best deal in history. You’ll learn more in this course than 6+ hours of one-on-one consulting with me (it’s the same exact info you’d pay $12k to get.)
Potential partnerships: I am always looking to partner with people who are crushing it with affiliate marketing - whether it be starting a new business, collaborating on content, or launching a new YouTube channel. If you want to actually get in contact with my team and I, this is the best way to do it.
