Affiliate marketing, passive income, making money online, high-ticket sales, and ClickFunnels changed Tim Hewitt's life after his $2 million golf business collapsed.
Tim spent decades as a software engineer while building side businesses on the side. At one point, he built an online golf company to more than $2 million per year. Then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and revenue crashed almost overnight.
Years later, after moving to Malaysia, returning home during COVID, and finding himself stuck with a warehouse full of inventory he couldn't sell, Tim made a decision:
He would never build another business that depended on physical products.
Instead, he learned affiliate marketing, discovered ClickFunnels, studied Russell Brunson's books, and built a business helping complete beginners earn income online through high-ticket affiliate marketing.
In this episode, Tim shares the lessons he learned from building, losing, rebuilding, and reinventing himself over a 40-year entrepreneurial journey.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How Tim built a $2 million online golf business
• What it felt like when revenue crashed from $2M to $100K
• Why he walked away from physical products and inventory
• How COVID became the catalyst for an entirely new business
• The affiliate marketing framework he uses to help beginners get started
• Why most lead magnets fail to generate sales
• The difference between low-ticket and high-ticket offers
• How ClickFunnels and Russell Brunson influenced his business transformation
• Why software engineers and technical professionals can succeed in marketing
• The biggest mistakes new affiliate marketers make
Whether you're trying to build a side hustle, create passive income, start affiliate marketing, or transition out of a traditional career, Tim's story is proof that reinvention is possible at any stage of life.
Sometimes the fastest way forward isn't doubling down on what used to work.
It's learning an entirely new game.
