What It's About
An affiliate marketer learns valuable lessons from an unexpected hardship.
Notes from Chris
Episode 2043
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that I offer you a weekly segment called Failure Friday: a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. Today’s short story features Lou Haverty from Philadelphia. As you’ll hear, Lou had learned how to set up and operate affiliate websites that earned up to $2,500 a month. He then sold them for a good profit. But after he had the unfortunate experience of being hit by a car, the knowledge of his business was used against him in the settlement process.
