Let me back up a bit.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’re probably thinking, “Hey, where’s the Bigfoot brand?”

Well… it’s out there doing what it does best: making sales and running on autopilot. That machine is dialed in. Steady traffic. Scheduled content. Books moving.

But this post isn’t about Bigfoot.
It’s about me and a brand I let sit for way too long.

This Old Account Had Dust on It

Over a year ago, I started this Facebook page and affiliate site with the best intentions but no clear direction. I launched it with the wrong focus, ran some ads (bad ones), and blew cash without a clue what I was doing.

I signed up 44 people to Wealthy Affiliate from that setup. And almost every single one was a stranger. I never heard back from most not even a “hello.” Only one of them ever replied, and they’re still kicking around as a free member.

That version of the brand? It just didn’t feel like me.
So I shelved it and poured all my energy into the Wildfoot Bigfoot world.

Then Bootcamp Got My Attention

When I heard about the new Affiliate Boot-camp, something clicked.

I thought What if I took everything I learned building Wildfoot, and applied it here... but in my own voice? What if I rebuilt this brand not as a business, but as a real reflection of who I am?

So that’s what I did.

I rebuilt my site. SEO-optimized. Clean. Personal.
Then I dusted off this Facebook account.
Retooled the Instagram.
Refaced the X profile.
And I decided: this time, I’m walking every Bootcamp step with Kyle, from the ground up.

That series started Last Monday if you missed it : Affiliate Boot-camp,

It Started at Rock Bottom

Here’s the truth:

When I came back to this account, it was flatlined.
📉 100 total views.
📉 Zero momentum.
📉 A page that looked abandoned.

But I wasn’t worried because I’d been here before.

I knew what it took to build Wildfoot from scratch, and I believed I could do it again with a new voice and fresh fire.

So I went to work.

The Numbers Don’t Lie

Just a few weeks later, here’s what’s happened:

✅ 4.9K views (📈 Up 5,200%)
✅ 1.9K reach (📈 Up 2.8%)
✅ 94 content interactions (📈 Up 100%)
✅ 139 page visits (📈 Up 2.2K%)
✅ 7 link clicks (📈 Up 100%)
✅ 15 new followers (📈 Up 433%)

👉 All organic.
👉 No paid ads.
👉 Just consistent storytelling, truth, and value.

Here’s the key: I modeled this after what worked on my Bigfoot brand.
But this time, I made it personal.

I shared:

• Behind-the-scenes reels
• Real affiliate thoughts and day-in-the-life moments
• Deep reflection posts
• And a few questions/fact drops to build curiosity

I’m not chasing clicks. I’m building connection. And Facebook is finally responding.

🧠 I Study Everything

I track every corner of this platform from reach to visits to post performance.
Take a look at these:

🧩 Goals Dashboard

• Facebook Reach Goal: 866 / 1.5K (58% progress already)
• Instagram Reach Goal: 40 / 278 (Only just started there)

📈 Link Clicks Are Back
People aren’t just watching they’re clicking.
My content is starting to convert again, and that’s a huge sign of traction.

🔎 I Look at the Deep Numbers
Even when I had no followers and low reach, I stayed consistent.
I knew Facebook’s algo favors consistency and organic interaction.
And it’s paying off.

What’s Next?

Right now, it’s all about organic growth.

But I know Kyle’s gonna walk us into ads soon and you better believe I’ll be testing right alongside him. I’ve already burned money doing it the wrong way… this time, I’m doing it right.

And here’s why that matters:

I’m documenting all of this for you.
So when someone asks: “Does the WA Bootcamp actually work?”
I can say: Come see for yourself. I’ve got the data, the content, and the story.

Final Thought

This brand isn’t just “affiliate marketing.”
It’s me reclaiming something I started a year ago with a whole new perspective.

And here’s the one thing I’m doing besides showing up with quality content:

👉 I’m working the Facebook planner like a machine.
I’m following the plan. I’m posting consistently. I’m mixing it up.

• Text posts with images and links
• Reels with heart and message
• Stories with behind-the-scenes
• And this week? I’m adding carousels into the mix

Because this isn’t about going viral.
It’s about showing up, building trust, and proving to myself and anyone watching that this works.

So if you’ve got an old page, an old brand, or an idea that never took off…

🔥 Don’t give up on it.
🔁 Reface it.
🧱 Rebuild it.
💥 Relaunch it

Because the only thing standing between a flatlined account and 5,000 views is effort, belief and a plan you actually follow.

Let’s go.
