“This Funnel Made Me $231 in 3 Days… With Someone Else’s Product”

(How I Turned Free Traffic Into Affiliate Commissions — Without Ads, a List, or a Product of My Own)


Let’s get one thing straight:

I didn’t make this money by:

❌ Creating a product
❌ Running ads
❌ Posting cringey TikToks
❌ Sending DMs to friends and family

Nope.

I made $231 in 3 days by plugging into a system that already works:

✅ Someone else’s proven product
✅ My own funnel that pre-sold it
✅ Free traffic from social media
✅ And an email list I’m still growing

Here’s how you can do the exact same thing — step-by-step.


💡 Step 1: I Picked the Right Affiliate Product

Most people fail right here.

They grab the first high-commission offer they see and start spamming.

What I did instead:

  1. Looked for recurring commissions
    → (Because $27/month is better than a one-time $27)

  2. Picked something I personally used and liked
    → In this case, a tool that builds funnels and automates follow-ups (👋 Clicsly.ai)

  3. Made sure it had:
    ✅ Proven results
    ✅ High retention
    ✅ Solid affiliate dashboard

Note: I also promote my own courses and earn affiliate commissions for those who promote my offers — so I stacked this on top.


🔗 Step 2: I Built a Simple Funnel (With Bonuses)

This was the key.

Most affiliates just drop links.
That’s a race to the bottom.

What I did instead:

✅ Created a landing page that explained the product in my own words
✅ Added a short video walkthrough (built trust)
✅ Offered bonuses they’d get ONLY through my link:

  • Bonus 1: “My Automation Blueprint” (PDF)

  • Bonus 2: “3 Plug-and-Play Funnel Templates”

  • Bonus 3: “My Affiliate Email Scripts”

🎁 These bonuses were made once and reused forever.

And I didn’t even build the funnel from scratch…

I used a prebuilt affiliate funnel inside Clicsly.ai, duplicated it, and changed the colors.


📣 Step 3: I Posted One Piece of Content Per Day (Free Traffic Only)

For this funnel, I posted:

  • 1 Instagram Reel with a hook like:
    “This tool makes money while I sleep… and it’s not what you think.”

  • 1 tweet thread breaking down:
    “3 automations that earn while I’m not working”

  • 1 email to my tiny list:
    “I made $231 this weekend from someone else’s product — here’s how”

That’s it.

No ads.
No SEO.
No viral hacks.


💰 The Result?

By Day 3:

  • 57 people hit the funnel

  • 18 opted in

  • 5 clicked through to the offer

  • 2 bought the monthly plan ($47/month)

  • 1 upgraded to annual ($197)

Total earned: $231
(And recurring income every month from now on)


🧠 Why This Worked

  • I didn’t pitch… I pre-framed

  • I didn’t sell… I educated

  • I didn’t chase… I attracted

My funnel + content worked together like a machine.
And the best part?

It’s now automated.

That same funnel is still live.
The emails are still going out.
The bonuses are still converting.
And I’m testing more traffic this week.
