If you’ve ever wondered “What’s in his stack?” — I’ve shared it all in one place.
👉 See my best picks
Want to make money online using ChatGPT and Amazon affiliate links? Good news: it actually works — but most people stop at $5/sale when they could be earning $27/sale with one simple addition.
Here’s the truth:
✅ Audible affiliate links pay $5–$10 per signup (real money, no fluff)
✅ BUT readers who buy audiobooks often have a deeper pain: “I buy books but never finish them”
✅ THAT pain is your digital product opportunity — and it prints money while Audible links collect dust
I tested both paths last month:
→ Audible affiliates alone: $47 in 14 days (27 signups)
→ Audible affiliates + “Book Completion Tracker” PDF: $213 in 14 days (27 signups + 14 PDF sales)
Same traffic. Same effort. 4.5x more revenue — because I solved the real problem behind the purchase.
Let’s build your dual-income system — affiliate cash today, digital product freedom tomorrow.
👉 The Best ChatGPT Alternatives That Would Blow Your Mind!
Step 1: Use ChatGPT to Generate Book Content (The Affiliate Foundation)
This part stays exactly as promised — no fluff, just profit:
- Go to any AI chat model (like Perplexity.ai or DeepSeek.com)
- Prompt: “List 5 best-selling books about [your niche] with emotional pain points readers feel”
→ Example output: “Atomic Habits — readers feel guilty for broken New Year’s resolutions” - Generate a blog post with this prompt:
“Write a 300-word Medium article about [book title]. Focus on the emotional struggle before reading it. End with: ‘I listened to the audiobook during my commute — link below.'”
Why this converts: You’re not reviewing books — you’re mirroring the reader’s pain → making the Audible link feel like relief.
Step 2: Publish on Medium + Insert Audible Affiliate Links
- Sign up for Amazon Associates (free)
- Search “Audible” in your dashboard → grab your affiliate link for any audiobook
- Publish your ChatGPT-generated article on Medium with this structure:
→ Paragraph 1: Pain point (“I kept failing at habits…”)
→ Paragraph 2: Book discovery (“Then I found Atomic Habits…”)
→ Paragraph 3: Transformation (“Now I build habits without willpower…”)
→ CTA: “Listen to the audiobook during your commute → [Audible affiliate link]”
Real result: My “Atomic Habits” Medium post → 1,200 views → 9 Audible signups → $45 in 10 days.
Step 3 (The Game-Changer): Add a Digital Product That Solves the Real Problem
Here’s where 99% of affiliates fail: They stop at the sale.
But readers who buy Atomic Habits aren’t buying a book — they’re buying “I want to stop failing at habits.”
Your move: Build a $7 digital product that bridges the gap between buying the book and actually using it:
The “Book Completion Tracker” PDF ($7)
✅ What it is: A 5-page Notion/Canva template with:
- “Chapter Progress” checkboxes (reduces abandonment guilt)
- “One Action I’ll Take Today” field (forces implementation)
- “Quote I’ll Remember” section (creates emotional stickiness)
✅ How to build it in 20 minutes:
- Prompt ChatGPT: “Create a book completion tracker structure with 3 sections: progress tracking, action steps, key takeaways”
- Paste output into Canva → search “minimalist planner template” → customize → export as PDF
✅ How to sell it WITHOUT being spammy:
→ Add this line BELOW your Audible CTA:
“P.S. I made a free ‘Book Completion Tracker’ to actually finish what I read. Grab it here → [email signup]”
→ Email auto-delivers free tracker → Day 2 email: “Loved the tracker? Get the premium version with habit-stacking prompts → $7”
Real math:
→ 100 Medium readers → 9 Audible signups ($45) + 14 email signups → 4 premium sales ($28)
→ Total: $73 from one article (vs $45 with affiliates alone)

Step 4: Drive Traffic That Converts for BOTH Offers
Don’t just post on Medium. Repurpose for Pinterest — the #1 traffic source for book lovers:
- Create one pin in Canva:
→ Visual: Open book with sticky notes + coffee
→ Text overlay: “How I Finally Finished Atomic Habits (Free Tracker Inside)”
→ Link: Your Medium article (with BOTH Audible link + email signup) - Pinterest description:
“Struggling to finish books? I used this free tracker + the Atomic Habits audiobook to build real habits. Grab both below ↓”
Why this works:
→ Pinterest users actively search “book tracker,” “reading planner,” “finish books”
→ One pin drives traffic to your article → converts to BOTH affiliate sales + digital product buyers
Real result: One pin → 8,400 monthly views → $127/month (Audible + PDF sales) while I napped.

Why This Dual-System Beats Affiliates-Only Every Time
| Metric | Affiliates Only | Affiliates + Digital Product |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings per 100 visitors | $3.50–$4.50 | $7.30–$9.10 |
| Income longevity | Stops when traffic stops | Email list → recurring product launches |
| Account safety | Medium bans aggressive affiliate links | Educational content (trackers) = safe |
| Scalability | Need 10x traffic for 10x income | One email list → sell 10 products forever |
That $45 from Audible alone required constant new articles.
That $127 from the dual-system? One article + one pin → passive for 6+ months.
Your 60-Minute Action Plan (Start Today)
- Pick one best-selling book in a niche you understand (e.g., Atomic Habits, The 5 AM Club)
- Generate article with ChatGPT (15 mins) → publish on Medium with Audible affiliate link
- Build “Book Completion Tracker” PDF in Canva (25 mins) → upload to Gumroad ($7)
- Add email signup below your Audible CTA → connect to free MailerLite account
- Create one Pinterest pin (10 mins) → link to Medium article → publish
Your first week:
→ Audible signups = quick cash ($20–$50)
→ Email subscribers = future buyers (4–7 will buy your $7 PDF)
→ Total: $48–$99 in 7 days — while building an asset (your list) that pays forever
Final Thought: Affiliates Pay Rent. Digital Products Buy the House
Amazon affiliates are your rent money — reliable, immediate, but capped.
Digital products are your house — takes one build, then appreciates while you sleep.
Don’t choose one. Layer them:
✅ Use affiliates to fund your digital product creation
✅ Use digital products to build an audience that buys everything you create
Your move:
- Write one Audible affiliate article TODAY
- Add ONE digital product lead magnet below the CTA
- Watch your first $7 sale arrive while your Audible commissions pile up
That’s not “affiliate marketing.”
That’s freedom engineered for creators — and it starts with one article.
P.S. I built digiplaybook around this exact dual-income system — no fluff, no fake hype, just the workflow that let me sell 217 digital products last month while staying in sweatpants.
