Hi everyone,
I’m Kea, a programmer from China. I’ve built all kinds of software — iOS apps, trading bots, and now mostly websites.
For years, I dreamed of making money online with my own software products. My first attempt was mobile apps with in-app purchases… but they didn’t make much because I focused only on coding and ignored marketing. No promotion = no exposure = no income.
I’ve known about affiliate marketing for a long time, but I avoided it because SEO and paid ads didn’t feel connected to programming. I kept building products that nobody knew about.
Now, after years of this, I’ve realized marketing is just as important as coding — maybe more important if you want results. So I’m here to seriously learn paid traffic, starting with promoting proven offers. Later, I’ll use the same skills to promote my own software.
