Affiliate Marketing Case Study: Why You Don't Need Tons of Traffic To Make Money

I just got an email about a $12.50 sale I made promoting an AI tool on YouTube. I've only made a few videos promoting this tool and the number of views those videos have gotten could be considered bad, but the fact is a sale was generated from it and the videos, albeit slow are still accumilating.
On top of that, this promotion is also recurring, so as long as the customer that drove this sale stays around, each month I will make that $12.50 again and again. So let's do some math:
- 1 sale for 10 months: $12.50 X 10 months = $125.50
- 10 sales for 10 months: $125.50 X 10 months = $1,255.50
Now obviously wishful thinking and results aren't always aligned so my goal is to just keep moving forward and making more content, on top of the existing one to keep promoting this, so ensure this becomes a reality.
