Why the Hell Should You Listen to Me?

by

Let’s cut the crap.

You’ve probably read enough “About Me” pages full of fake Lambos, borrowed Rolexes, and dudes sitting on rented yachts pretending to be internet millionaires.

This is not one of those pages.

My name’s Roman – I’m not some Silicon Valley whiz-kid or TikTok guru.
I’m just a regular guy who got obsessed with finding a smarter way to make money online.

Not because I hated my job.
Not because I was broke.
But because I wanted more:

  • More freedom.
  • More time.
  • More income that doesn’t depend on a boss, a shift, or a damn alarm clock.

How It All Started…

Years ago, I stumbled across a website that changed everything:
The Rich Jerk.

That site didn’t beg for attention.
It didn’t sugarcoat success.
It punched me in the face with one message:

“You’re not rich because you’re lazy.”

That was the slap I needed. I bought his ebook, followed the steps, and guess what?
My first affiliate commission came from promoting that same book.

That $17.98 commission hit harder than any paycheck.
Because it meant this was real.

Then I Did What Most People Do…

I lost focus.

I bounced from niche to niche.
Jumped on every shiny object.
Wasted time on gimmicks, garbage courses, and fake shortcuts.

Sound familiar?

But instead of quitting forever, I regrouped.
Rebuilt. Refocused.

I stopped chasing “quick money” and started building a real system.
And that’s when things finally started to work.

I built The Edge Affiliate for people like me – and maybe people like you.

From Side Hustle Dreamer to Affiliate Reality – My Journey Thanks to The Rich Jerk

by

Let me be straight with you.

I wasn’t broke.
I wasn’t desperate.
I had a job, a decent life… but I wanted more.

More freedom.
More income.
More time.

I was like millions out there searching “how to make money online” – not because I was miserable, but because I was smart enough to know that trading hours for money is a sucker’s game.

That’s when I found something that hit me like a slap in the face.

The Rich Jerk.

A website so brutally honest, so unapologetically arrogant… I couldn’t stop reading.

“You’re not rich because you’re lazy.”
“You want results? Shut up and take action.”
“Most people are too stupid to succeed online – are you one of them?”

It was harsh.
It was rude.
It was exactly what I needed.

The First Real Wake-Up Call

I bought The Rich Jerk ebook that same day.
I didn’t think twice. No refund guarantees, no hype – just raw, straight-to-the-point methods.

And you know what? That book didn’t just teach me tactics.
It taught me how to think like a digital hustler.

I started small – one landing page, one ClickBank link, one strategy.
No social media, no paid ads, no email list.

Just pure hustle.

Then it happened.

💥 My first sale.

A whopping $17.98 commission.
Was it a lot? No.
But for me, it was proof. Proof that this works. Proof that I could do it.

And ironically? That commission came from promoting The Rich Jerk ebook itself.

Yeah. Full circle.

The Journey Nobody Talks About

Here’s the part most “gurus” skip.

After that first win, I got lost.

I tried everything:

  • CPA networks
  • MLM crap
  • Niche blogs about stuff I didn’t care about
  • YouTube channels that flopped
  • Paid traffic without tracking (big mistake)

I made some wins. Lost even more.
Started making $50 one month… then nothing for two.

And at one point? I stopped.

Life got in the way. I convinced myself this was too crowded, too saturated, too late.

I didn’t fail because affiliate marketing doesn’t work.
I failed because I got distracted.

The Reboot

A few years later, I was reading old emails and stumbled across The Rich Jerk again.

That voice. That attitude. That clarity.
It lit the fire again.

But this time, I did it smarter.

  • I chose ONE niche: make money online.
  • I built ONE site.
  • I created ONE funnel.
  • I focused on ONE product at a time.

No shiny objects.
No new software every week.
Just execution.

I started writing content based on what I knew. I built a list. I learned to track my traffic. I optimized.

And slowly… things started moving again.

Today: Still Earning, Still Learning

I’m not driving Lambos or posting fake screenshots.

But I now run a profitable affiliate business.
I earn consistently. I wake up to sales. I work when I want.

I promote products I actually believe in – not trash.
And the first product I ever sold? I still recommend it today.

Because if The Rich Jerk hadn’t slapped me with truth, I might still be wasting my time looking for “easy money” instead of building something real.

What I Learned (That You Need to Hear)

Let me give you the gold straight up:

  1. Most people fail because they quit too early.
    That’s it. Not because the system sucks. Because they bounce at the first obstacle.
  2. There’s no “easy money” – only “easier if you commit” money.
    Affiliate marketing works. But not if you treat it like a hobby.
  3. Shiny objects will destroy your progress.
    Stick to one strategy, one traffic source, one product until you get results.
  4. You don’t need a course. You need clarity.
    Most people already have the info – they just don’t execute it.
  5. Results don’t come from learning. They come from launching.
    You can’t “research” your way to success. You need to put stuff out there.

So… Where Are You Now?

Still reading blog posts?
Still watching YouTube videos with “secret hacks”?
Still jumping from one guru to the next?

Stop.

Do what I did:

  • Pick a proven affiliate offer.
  • Set up a simple funnel.
  • Drive traffic.
  • Build a list.
  • Repeat.

And if you’re smart enough to take a hint, start where I did:

No fluff. No hype. Just real talk from someone who’s been there, quit, came back, and finally figured it out.

Final Words

The Rich Jerk wasn’t just a product.
It was a mindset shift.

It made me stop wishing for passive income and start working for it.

And now? I do what I love, earn on autopilot, and finally have what I was looking for back then:

Not just money… but freedom.
