If you’ve ever obsessively refreshed your analytics or gone down a keyword rabbit hole at 2 AM, this one's for you.

Affiliate marketing is full of hilarious habits and rookie rites of passage—so I turned them into a game.
Grab your mental markers and let’s see just how far down the affiliate rabbit hole you’ve gone.

Affiliate Marketing Bingo

Here’s your 5x5 grid of glory. Check off any squares you've lived through—and yes, you can totally mark the free space in the middle. You've earned it just by showing up.

Behind the Squares

Let’s talk about a few of these gems:

• Made $0.17 – Doesn’t sound like much, but it’s everything when it’s your first.
• Spent hours on a logo – Because clearly branding matters more than actually writing anything, right?
• Forgot to set up tracking – Welcome to “mystery traffic” land.
• Signed up for too many tools – That moment when your inbox is just onboarding emails from 12 platforms you’re “trying out.”
• Googled “Is this even worth it?” – You’re not alone. We’ve all asked this (usually at midnight with snacks nearby).
• Used ChatGPT – Admit it, you asked it “What’s a good niche?” at least once.
• Got stuck on a theme – So many themes… and still none that make your blog look like the demo site.
• Posted on social once, Then disappeared into keyword research for three months.

Make It a Challenge

Now it’s your turn. Grab a marker, take a screenshot, or just mentally high-five yourself.

• Got one line? Solid start.
• Got two? You’re a seasoned builder.
• Blacked out the whole card? You’re practically a WA legend.

Want to go wild? Create your own WA bingo card with your most ridiculous affiliate moments—and tag me when you post it. I dare you.

A Little Real Talk

Behind the laughs and bingo lines, there's something deeper here.

Every square you check is a reminder that you’re doing the work.
You’re showing up, experimenting, and learning by doing—and that’s what separates you from everyone who never gets past “maybe someday.”

So whether you’re still on your first row or shouting “BINGO!” with pride, you’re making progress.

Affiliate marketing can be messy. But it’s also fun.
And let’s be real—where else can “Forgot to set up tracking” be both a tragedy and a badge of honor?
