Welcome to 2026 what are your plans this year?

Neil · Jan 1, 2026

Well the end of my 2025 took a turn for the worse and I’m typing this from my hospital bed! In fact this years Christmas has to go down as one of the of the worst ever lol

I was planning on releasing my little app to some beta testers with a view to roll out to afflift members but that’s been put on hold until I can get back to my computer. As has the other couple of projects I started,

but laying here in the endless boredom started to wonder what’s everyone got planned for the coming year, starting new GEOs, switching to native, moving tracker?

Or something far more simple like eat less chocolate lol

Help ease my boredom and share yours

happy new 2026 , i wish you fast recovery ! well, play hard work hard

Anth · Jan 1, 2026

Sorry to hear that mate, hoping for a speedy recovery!

Today at some point I'll sit and plan my goals for 2026, they will probably involve scaling arbitrage, working out more, making more tools with AI to simplify projects/optimization etc.

And yes, eating less shit

Since we had a baby it's easier to eat for "convenience" rather than nutrition. So we grab and go more than we ever used to.

I'll probably get back into OMAD (one meal a day).

Happy New Year!

Sounds like a plan, AI is handy but it’s not the great wonder that people keep shouting about. In fact I think personally there will be a correction with some of the stocks etc over the next year

I shall be eating healthy from now on but did spend years with dads dinner which was basically anything left by the kids lol

wishing you a smooth and quick recovery.

In 2026 I’m planning to lean more into AI, building small tools to improve efficiency, and testing more arbitrage-style plays.

hope to see you back soon.

I have few projects I've been procrastinating for long now.. I plan to start if not all of them including getting my own mini saas tracker

Arif · Jan 1, 2026

Started dipping into POD end of 2024, spent 2025 gaining skills for designing and building systems for it. This year 2026 going full force into POD on Etsy and other platforms as its a lot more stable than affiliate marketing and better cashflow especially on Etsy (auto daily payments).

As for affiliate marketing, I am focusing more on just direct linking MVAS/smartlinks/CPI (less headaches) and being very brutal in cutting looser. My intention going forward is to make POD and ecom the main income earner and affiliate space being more of a side show/hobby.

See how this all pans out in the months ahead.

AI can great to help you build a rest some new tools but don’t totally rely on AI, thanks for well wishes

well it took most of 2025 to move mine into the next stage but once I’m back home I hope to get the first one running, watch this space.

Always good to have a plan and stick to it!

Nothing wrong with any of that

servandosilva · Jan 2, 2026

Get well soon, Neil!

I'm not changing much this year. Doing SEO, FB/Google ads, Reddit marketing, LLM visibility and whatever the next hot thing is this year.

Luke · Jan 2, 2026

First off, sorry to hear about your hospitalization, Neil. Hope you're recovering quickly

I look forward to it!

I want to attend a few conferences this year. I did not attend any in 2025 and I know it'll be beneficial for affLIFT if I go. I have not finalized my other goals for affLIFT or myself personally yet.

I haven't been to anything for a while, I need to get back into everything in a big way

Neil · Jan 11, 2026

Thought I'd drop an update in here seeing as I mentioned it for anyone that cares, although does seem like months ago now even though its only been a couple weeks!

I'm finally out of hospital and back home, was a rough few weeks and Christmas/New Years 2025/26 has been a total wash out. I only managed to open the few presents I get yesterday!

It seems that despite his best efforts my maker will have to wait a little longer for me

Good to see you all thinking ahead for 2026 and what you have planned, I shall be updating my own plans over the coming weeks after my little incident as it only seems fitting really.

HAkorehdeh · Jan 11, 2026

Good to see that you're back, Neil. Looking forward to your future updates!

Luke · Jan 13, 2026

Happy to hear you are doing better, Neil!

Nick · Jan 27, 2026

Good to hear you're back. We need that big brain around here lol.
