Day 133: Back in Action (And Finally Feeling Like I'm Building Momentum Again)
Today is Friday, June 26, 2026, and officially Day 133 of my journey to $40,000 per month.
Today felt like a win.
Not because I made a huge amount of money.
Not because I hit some crazy milestone.
But because after about a month of inactivity, I finally got a brand-new YouTube video review published.
That might not sound like much, but if you've ever struggled with procrastination or consistency, you know how good it feels to finally get moving again.
I'm honestly proud of myself.
Sometimes you've just got to stop for a second, appreciate the small victories, and give yourself a little credit before jumping into the next challenge.
June Income Update
So where am I sitting financially?
As of today, $4,127.95 has hit my bank account during the month of June.
I'm pretty happy with that.
The majority of that income is still coming from my overnight call center job, but my goal hasn't changed. I want my online business to eventually generate far more income than my regular job does.
The exciting part is that June isn't even finished yet.
I'm expecting another affiliate payout this coming Monday, so hopefully I'll be able to end the month on an even stronger note.
Little by little, we're making progress.
My Email List
My email list is currently sitting at 2,784 subscribers.
Yes...the number has slowly been drifting downward.
Normally that would bother me a lot more.
But there's some good news.
I've noticed my open rates have been climbing, which tells me the people who are still on my list are actually paying attention to what I'm sending.
I'd much rather have a smaller list of people who genuinely open my emails than a massive list full of people who never read a single one.
That said, I definitely want to start growing it again.
My plan is pretty simple...
Publish a lot more YouTube reviews.
Those videos have consistently been one of my favorite ways to attract new people who are already interested in affiliate marketing.
My First YouTube Review in a Month
Getting that video published today felt amazing.
Consistency has always been one of my biggest weaknesses.
I'm full of ideas.
I'm ambitious.
I know what I want.
Actually sitting down every single day and getting the work done?
That's been the challenge.
Thankfully, I think I've finally found a workflow that makes creating videos much easier.
I've been experimenting with an AI video generator, and honestly...it's pretty awesome.
Jack Miller almost looks like a real person now, and hearing my own voice coming out of the AI version of me is still kind of surreal.
Technology is getting wild.
My goal now is to get a lot more of these videos published before my next main affiliate offer launches in July.
The more helpful content I can get out into the world, the more opportunities I'll have to build my email list and hopefully turn those viewers into future customers.
My New Daily Content Plan
One thing I've learned about myself is that motivation comes and goes.
Systems stick around.
So today I mapped out a daily schedule that actually feels realistic.
Here's the plan:
🎥 Create 1 YouTube review after I wake up.
✍️ Write 1 blog post before heading to work.
📧 Send 1 email to my list (either educational or promoting an offer).
🎥 Create 1 more YouTube review during downtime at my overnight call center job.
That comes out to:
2 YouTube videos
1 blog post
1 email
Every single day.
Honestly...I think I can do it.
The workload doesn't feel overwhelming.
The biggest obstacle isn't a lack of time.
It's me.
It's procrastination.
It's getting distracted.
It's choosing comfort over progress.
That's something I'm still working on, and I probably will be for a while.
But I know one thing.
If I keep showing up consistently—even when I don't feel like it—good things eventually happen.
A New Opportunity Is Coming
One thing I'm especially excited about right now is an upcoming affiliate marketing ecosystem that's expected to launch soon.
Without getting too far ahead of myself, it looks similar to programs I've promoted in the past, but with a much stronger focus on AI tools and automation.
The commission structure also looks really attractive.
Assuming everything goes according to plan, I'd like to make this my primary offer once it's available to promote around July 20th.
Of course, nobody can guarantee how well any opportunity will perform.
But from everything I've seen so far, I genuinely think it has a lot of potential.
I'm excited to dive in, learn it inside and out, and document the journey here as I go.
That's It for Day 133
Overall, today wasn't flashy.
There weren't any life-changing breakthroughs.
But sometimes the days that matter most are simply the ones where you get back to work.
One video.
One blog.
One email.
Then wake up tomorrow and do it again.
That's how momentum is built.
Thanks for following along with my journey. It genuinely means a lot that you're here.
