Pick a high-commission digital product from the Digistore24 affiliate marketplace, then instead of sending traffic straight to the product's sales page, build a landing page that collects an email, follow it with a short "nurture sequence" of free, genuinely useful daily videos on the product's topic to build trust, and only then link to the affiliate offer at the end of each video, driving traffic to the whole funnel with free short-form content on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook.

The presenter, who says he spent over $50,000 and eight years learning this the hard way, argues the reason most beginners make zero affiliate sales is direct-linking to a cold sales page that visitors don't trust yet. His fix is building "invisible trust" first: a landing page to capture an email, then a handful of short (3-7 minute), genuinely educational videos on the topic before ever mentioning the product, delivered via a funnel builder and promoted with consistent daily short-form posting — he says even a few thousand views per video, posted consistently, can generate 10-30 leads a day and scale to $10,000/month.

Someone willing to research a niche topic well enough to create honestly useful free content about it, and comfortable setting up and maintaining a funnel builder and consistent short-form posting schedule rather than looking for a single-click solution.

The core insight — that a trust-building content funnel converts far better than direct-linking a cold affiliate offer — is a well-established affiliate marketing principle, not a gimmick, and Digistore24 itself is a real, longstanding European affiliate network with a large product catalog. That said, the presenter's own numbers (300,000 TikTok followers, "millions" in digital product sales) reflect years of compounding, and the free masterclass and comments-section funnel referenced throughout point toward an upsell; expect the trust-building and content-creation phase to take real, sustained time before sales materialize.
