The Live ClickBank Profit Challenge Is Getting Close

The countdown is officially on.

After several weeks of preparing, learning, improving SpareTimeProfit.com and documenting this journey, we're getting very close to the 3-Day Live ClickBank Profit Challenge beginning October 6.

And now I'm changing my focus.

I'm no longer asking:

“What else can I promote?”

I'm asking:

“What do I want to learn when the live training begins?”

That's a much better question.

Look How Far We've Come

If you've been following my ClickBank Profit Challenge updates, we've covered a lot already.

We started by looking at affiliate marketing differently.

Then we moved into:

Traffic

↓

The Click

↓

Useful Content

↓

Trust

↓

Opt-Ins

↓

Follow-Up

↓

Relevant Offers

↓

Building Something You Control

↓

Finding the Right Audience

I'm beginning to see these as pieces of one system instead of separate marketing tricks.

That's progress.

But there are still plenty of questions I want answered.

What I'm Preparing Before October 6

I'm not trying to become an expert before the live Challenge begins.

I'm doing something simpler.

I'm getting my foundation ready.

1. My Blog

SpareTimeProfit.com looks much better than it did when this journey started.

I've been adding Challenge updates regularly.

I've improved the banners.

I've created a clearer path for visitors.

And I've started organizing the website around subjects that actually fit my interests and audience.

There's still work to do, but that's okay.

We're building—not waiting for perfection.

2. My Traffic

I've used solo ads, mailers, traffic exchanges and other advertising methods.

Now I want to understand traffic better.

Not simply:

“How many visitors did I get?”

But:

Where did they come from?

What did they read?

What made them click?

Which visitors were actually interested?

Those are much better questions.

3. My Follow-Up

Update #5 helped me think differently about follow-up.

Getting someone to visit once is good.

But having a system that allows an interested person to continue learning can be much more useful.

That's one reason the ClickBank Profit Club funnel interests me.

The system already provides a path for interested visitors to opt in and continue receiving information.

My job is to get the right people to that opportunity.

4. My Audience

Update #7 was especially important.

I'm not trying to sell everybody.

Spare Time Profit is increasingly speaking to:

Retirees

Beginners

People struggling to put affiliate marketing together

People looking for productive spare-time opportunities

People interested in creating something online without another full-time job

That gives me much more direction.

What I Want to Learn During the Live Challenge

When October 6 arrives, I'm going into the training with questions.

I want to learn more about:

Building better funnels

Creating stronger offers

Improving list building

Using email follow-up effectively

Finding better-quality traffic

Tracking what works

Improving conversions

And most importantly:

How do all these pieces work together?

That's what I'm hoping to understand better.

I'm Not Starting From Zero Anymore

This may be my favorite part of this journey.

When the live Challenge begins, I won't be arriving with nothing.

I'll already have:

My website

My Challenge content

My traffic experience

My audience direction

My promotional system

My questions

And several weeks of lessons behind me.

That's why I believe the preparation has been worthwhile.

A Message to Other Beginners and Retirees

If you're following this journey and thinking:

“I'm too old to start this.”

or

“I don't understand all this technology.”

remember something.

I'm retired twice—from the military and the Department of Defense—and I'm still learning too.

I'm not trying to learn everything overnight.

I'm taking it:

ONE STEP AT A TIME.

One article.

One improvement.

One advertisement.

One lesson.

Then another.

That's how Spare Time Profit is being built.

COUNTDOWN TO OCTOBER 6

The preparation period is almost over.

The 3-Day Live ClickBank Profit Challenge runs October 6–8.

When the live training begins, I'm going to continue documenting the journey right here.

I'll share what I'm learning.

What catches my attention.

What I plan to change.

And what I think other beginners should know.

So don't disappear now.

The most interesting part of this journey may still be ahead of us.

COMING NEXT — UPDATE #9

Before the Live Training: The 5 Questions I Want Answered

Before October 6 arrives, I'm going to narrow everything I've learned into the questions I most want answered during the live Challenge.

Those questions will become my roadmap for the three live days.

The countdown continues.

Simple Ideas. Real Opportunities. A Brighter Tomorrow.

As I continue my ClickBank Profit Challenge journey, I'm starting to look at affiliate marketing differently.

Like many beginners, I once thought the most important thing was finding a good affiliate program, getting my affiliate link and sending as much traffic to that link as possible.

But here's something I'm learning:

Your Affiliate Link Isn't Your Most Valuable Asset

Think about it.

You don't own the affiliate program.

You don't own the product.

You don't control the sales page.

And sometimes you don't even control what happens after someone clicks your affiliate link.

The company can change the offer.

The commission can change.

The sales page can change.

The program itself can change.

That's why I'm beginning to understand the importance of building something around the affiliate link.

What Can You Build That Is Yours?

For me, one answer is the website you're reading right now:

SpareTimeProfit.com

Instead of simply advertising affiliate links, I'm working on building a place where people can:

Read my content.

Follow my ClickBank Profit Challenge journey.

Discover useful resources.

Learn from what I'm learning.

And then decide for themselves whether one of the opportunities I discuss is right for them.

The affiliate offer can change.

But my website can continue.

The Bigger Picture

The last few Challenge updates have helped me see how these pieces connect.

First, we talked about traffic.

Then we looked at what happens after the click.

Next came the importance of opt-ins and follow-up.

Now I'm looking at the asset underneath all of those things.

Your Platform

That could be a blog.

It could eventually include an email list.

It could be useful articles.

It could be videos.

It could be a community.

It could be a combination of several things.

The important point is that you're not relying entirely on someone else's sales page to represent you.

Affiliate Link vs. Affiliate Business

Here's how I'm beginning to see the difference.

Just Promoting a Link

Advertisement → Affiliate Link → Sales Page

If the visitor doesn't buy, that may be the end of the relationship.

Building Something Around the Link

Traffic → Your Content → Trust → Opt-In → Follow-Up → Relevant Offers

Now the affiliate link is part of a larger system.

That's a very different way of thinking.

My Own Spare Time Profit Example

This Challenge has already caused me to make changes to this blog.

I'm publishing regular Challenge updates.

I'm organizing my content around subjects that can help beginners.

I've created clearer paths for visitors who want to learn more about ClickBank Profit Club.

And I'm beginning to think beyond one promotion.

That's important because Spare Time Profit isn't supposed to exist for one affiliate offer.

My goal is to build a useful resource around topics that interest me and may also interest other retirees and beginners—including online income ideas, travel, Caribbean living and practical resources for everyday life.

The individual offers may change over time.

The platform remains.

Why This Matters to Me as a Retiree

I've already retired twice—from the military and from the Department of Defense.

I'm not looking to replace retirement with another full-time job.

What interests me is building something useful during my spare time that can continue working after I close the laptop.

An article I publish today can still be available tomorrow.

My blog can continue receiving visitors.

Older Challenge posts can continue introducing people to newer posts.

And when I discover something worthwhile, I have my own place to talk about it.

That feels much more like building an asset than simply collecting affiliate links.

Build the Asset First

This may be one of my biggest lessons so far:

Don't make the affiliate link the center of your business.

Build useful content around the interests and problems of the people you want to reach.

Then affiliate products can become possible solutions within that content.

For me, that means continuing to improve SpareTimeProfit.com one step at a time.

I'm certainly still learning.

That's exactly why I'm documenting the journey.

We're Getting Closer to the Live Challenge

The 3-Day Live ClickBank Profit Challenge is scheduled for October 6–8.

As we get closer, I'll continue sharing what I'm learning, what I'm changing and what I think beginners should pay attention to.

If you're following along, we're building this picture piece by piece:

Traffic → Click → Content → Trust → Opt-In → Follow-Up → Offers

But underneath all of it:

BUILD SOMETHING YOU CONTROL.

Coming Next — Update #7

Stop Trying to Sell Everybody

One of the next lessons I'm working on is understanding who I'm actually trying to reach.

More visitors aren't necessarily better visitors.

And an offer that's right for one person may be completely wrong for another.

In Update #7, we'll look at why finding the right audience may be more valuable than trying to sell to everyone.

Stay tuned.

Spare Time Profit
Simple Ideas. Real Opportunities. A Brighter Tomorrow.

Most new affiliates focus on one thing.

Getting the click.

They find a ClickBank offer, grab their affiliate link and start looking for people to send to it.

Someone clicks.

They visit the sales page.

Maybe they buy. Maybe they don't.

But there is a problem.

If that visitor leaves, you may have lost them for good.

That is one of the biggest reasons I like the approach behind The ClickBank Profit Club.

It starts with a different idea:

Build the list first.

The Click Is Not the Asset

Traffic is important, but traffic by itself does not give you an audience you can contact again.

Imagine sending 100 people directly to an affiliate offer.

Some might be interested but not ready to buy today.

Others might get distracted.

Some might simply need more information before making a decision.

If you sent them directly to the offer, you may never get another opportunity to communicate with them.

Now consider a different approach.

Instead of thinking only about getting the click, you start thinking about keeping the lead.

That is where list building comes in.

Build Your Email List While You Promote

The ClickBank Profit Club is built around affiliate marketing, list building and follow-up.

Instead of treating list building as something you will worry about later, it becomes part of the model from the beginning.

That means you are not only promoting an offer.

You are also working on an asset of your own.

Your email list.

This is an important shift for beginners because it changes what you are trying to build.

Instead of constantly looking for another click, another product or another traffic method, you can start building an audience you have the opportunity to communicate with again.

Follow-Up Is the Missing Piece

Getting someone onto your email list is only part of the process.

The next part is follow-up.

Think about your own buying decisions.

Do you buy everything the first time you see it?

Probably not.

Sometimes you need more information.

Sometimes you want to understand the person or product better.

Sometimes the timing simply isn't right.

Your prospects can be exactly the same.

Email follow-up gives you an opportunity to continue the conversation rather than depending entirely on one visit to one sales page.

You can provide useful information, build familiarity and introduce relevant offers over time.

That is why the principle is so simple:

Keep the lead, not just the click.

Why This Makes Sense for ClickBank Beginners

Affiliate marketing can become complicated very quickly.

Funnels.

Landing pages.

Autoresponders.

Traffic.

Offers.

Content.

Social media.

AI tools.

For someone starting from scratch, it can feel like everything needs to be mastered at once.

It doesn't.

A simpler starting point is to understand the basic process:

Attract attention.

Capture the lead.

Build your list.

Follow up.

Promote relevant offers.

Once you understand what each part is supposed to do, the whole business becomes easier to see.

Stop Starting From Zero

There is another reason building your list matters.

Offers can change.

Traffic platforms can change.

Promotions can end.

But when you have built an email list, you have created an audience you can continue communicating with.

That does not guarantee commissions, and building a useful list still takes consistent work.

But it means your effort is going towards building something rather than depending entirely on the next click.

That is the breakthrough.

You are not simply promoting somebody else's product. You are building your own audience at the same time.

Where The ClickBank Profit Club Fits In

John Thornhill has more than 20 years of online experience and is a 9x ClickBank Platinum Vendor.

The ClickBank Profit Club takes the lessons behind that experience and puts the focus on a simpler model built around affiliate marketing, list building and follow-up.

For someone who has been overwhelmed by all the different ways to make affiliate marketing work, that simplicity matters.

You don't need another dozen strategies competing for your attention.

You need to understand what you are building and why.

For me, that comes back to one simple principle:

Build the list first.

Because a click can disappear in seconds.

A lead gives you the opportunity to continue the conversation.

Hi [fname]

I want to tell you about something that happened this week because it perfectly

shows how this whole system works when you put the pieces together.

A brand new member joined on Wednesday. They paid 17 to upgrade their account

and 29 for a single share of the Advertising Co-Op. That is 46 total out of pocket.

By Friday morning, they had $370 in commissions.

Let me say that again. 46 in. 370 out. In less than 48 hours.

How? Because the Co-Op placed 10 real members on their team. Those members

started sending emails. Some of them upgraded. Each upgrade paid a 50 commission.

And on top of that, every click those team members generated paid them 10 cents.

This is not a theory. This is what happened this week. To a person who just got started.

And they are not the only one. Another member who joined last Sunday pulled in $950

in their first week. Look if You are Not a Member, Please Click Here To Signup Now!
https://clickerrtrial.com/clickerrtrialv1?sid=10056

Here is what you need to understand. The Co-Op upgrade commitment is closing. That

means after it is gone, we are no longer committing to a specific number of upgraded

members on each package. Right now, if you buy the 29 share, we commit to at least 1

upgraded member. That is at least 50 back on a 29 investment on day one.

That commitment goes away soon. Once it does, it is not coming back.

The Co-Op starts at just 29 with code SPRING70. That is 70 percent off.
