    As an affiliate marketer, I naturally employ affiliate links wherever possible. It's disclaimed in the notes. The notes have accumulated a total of 870 views, resulting in one sale with a commission of $2. Financial gain is not my motive for using this forum - that would be a waste of time.

    I've experimented extensively with prompts, and the results with ChatGPT's 'Custom Instructions' have been quite good. However, while we use it primarily to assist our copywriting, we do not rely on it to exclusively write the content.

    Yes agreed, that will be a revenue stream I'll turn on at a later sage. Especially when the business will focus more on profit optimization rather than growth. For now, I'll only buy High-Quality links.
