I’ve been keeping a daily journal for my TinyAff campaigns before I started TinyCampaigns.com
Here are some of the most relevant notes from my TinyAff Notes from 2024.
Day 1: Mission
Mission is to enable an amazing lifestyle for the founder, me.
2024 Goals.
Floor goal: $300k in profits for 2024
Target: $1mil in profits
To reach this, I need to have people, product and finances in place.
People: Partner with people who have already achieved what I want to achieve i.e. $1mil per year in profitsI
Product: Offers and Creatives that collectively spend $30k per day at 30% margins
Finances: Ability to fund a scaling campaign once I have a winner.
Unfortunately, I missed my goal by a landslide.
I was able to put together everything that was required to hit the goal but there were two things missing that I didn’t account for to hit my goal.
I was only able to hit around $44,000 in profits which barely cuts it.
The two things that I missed were Strategy and Mindset.
Strategy: I was heavily relied on meta traffic and a single vertical which did mean that I could focus but meta wasn’t too friendly towards affiliates in 2024 and I didn’t have much to rely on in case the current vertical or traffic source failed. I also did not have a strong strategy for scaling my campaigns.
Mindset: I learnt that I need to have a gamer’s mentality and affiliate is a game where it takes a lot of losses to find big winners. Not just creatives but campaign structures that can spend at scale. I have to be comfortable spending a lot of money to make a lot of money. That’s just how this game is played. Risk adjusted ofcourse.
Media buying is a game of leverage and the leverage we have here is capital. It is possible and common to turn $1 into $2. Your skill and offer decides whether its $100 or $100,000 that doubles.
It’s like a game of slot machines but where we can actually tweak the odds towards us, given enough capital, time and effort.
8th April 2024
The month started off with a great start. I was on my way to hit $40k in profits but I was feeling fear that things might break.
I had already hit $1.5k a day for 4 days straight and I just had to keep it up for the rest of the month to hit my target.
I found that scaling was easy with Bidcaps + a good cpa history on the account.
14th April
It had been a good month but I was seeing myself finding it hard to focus on things.
Watching more content, reading more books wasn’t really helping.
I was spending too much time gaming.
15th April
Lost $1300 on the day. A lot of high budget accounts lost money.
To scale, I should test more types of creatives that are already running well on meta.

May 2024
I barely worked on any of my affiliate projects and was solely focused on TinyEdu.
This month also marked the one complete year into running affiliate campaigns again.
June 2024
Once again, I just felt like giving up on TinyAff and this is the fourth or fifth time I’m feeling this in the past 12 months since I started.
But then I remembered how I almost gave up in the past but stuck to it.
Well the thing is, hitting the next level of my goals will take a new level of experience and patience on my part.
This year I have everything I wanted to reach the numbers I had set my eyes on.
I will make it work. I will comeback stronger and I will scale my campaigns to $100k/month in profits.
7th December : AWC Bangkok
Affiliates are hitting $3 million per day with one vertical. It can be done.
