Toxic mindset: Everything you do must be scalable and easily replicable.

But that's not how you can be an artist.
At most an engineer and a businessman, but a low-class one.

You can play affiliate marketing by lifetime value of the whole operation. Not CLV. Just... how much money in your whole life this will make you.
Sounds crazy? I think it's less crazy than thinking of affiliate marketing with "on per hour, day, month" basis.
