ADVERTISING
An industry brand wall. Inclusion does not imply a client relationship or endorsement.
It started with a question.
What could I build
with the internet?
In 2015, that question became my work. Eleven years later, the curiosity hasn't gone anywhere.
I'm Aliakbar. An entrepreneur, digital marketer, AI consultant, SEO practitioner, and the founder behind a growing family of online businesses.
I build, experiment, and share what I learn — helping publishers, creators, and businesses find their own way forward. Sometimes that means growing a business. Sometimes it means making a frustrating problem a little easier to solve.

MY WORK IS MY INTRODUCTION
STRATEGY → EXECUTION → LEARNINGI'm not
a guru.
I do the work.
behind the work.
My work speaks.
The websites. The experiments.
The things we keep improving.
I run SEO, affiliate marketing, paid traffic, and AI workflows inside real businesses. The advice I share comes from that work: building, testing, making mistakes, and learning what to change.
When we work together, the conversation starts with your business. What are you trying to solve? What is already working? What should we build next?

FROM THE PERSONAL ARCHIVE / AF
THE BEST PART? THE PEOPLE.
Ideas travel.
So do I.
Years of conferences, meetups, and conversations have shaped how I think. I speak about affiliate marketing, SEO, and AI — and learn just as much from the people I meet.
Through AffMashup, that energy carries on beyond the agenda. The conversations after a talk can be the start of something entirely new.

NOTES TO MYSELF
On hustle.
On life.
On keeping going.
A few reminders for the days when the next step feels bigger than it is.
THREE THINGS I KEEP COMING BACK TO
Stay a
beginner.
Ask another question. Try the unfamiliar tool. Leave room to change your mind.
Make it
useful.
A website, a review, a conversation. Give someone something they can actually use.
Grow
together.
Share the lesson. Make the introduction. A win means more when someone comes with you.
THE REASON I KEEP BUILDING
The internet gave me
a place to start.
I want my work to do
that for someone else.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Your next chapter.
The right support.
Some teams need a plan.
Some need people to build it.
We can start with either.
BUILD & RUN
Done
with you.
Hands-on implementation across SEO, affiliate marketing, paid media, and AI workflows, with a scope built around your priorities.
Talk about your project ↗WORK ALONGSIDE YOUR TEAM
More hands.
Shared direction.
Specialists working alongside your team on agreed tasks, with clear responsibilities and a practical way to track progress.
Explore team support ↗ADVISORY & AUDITS
A clearer
next move.
An outside perspective on your website, acquisition strategy, or AI setup, followed by priorities your team can act on.
Discuss an audit ↗PEOPLE + PRACTICAL AI
Human judgement.
Technology that helps.
Strategy, relationships, and creative decisions need people. AI can support research, repetitive tasks, and reporting. I bring both into the work, with human review where it matters.
BEFORE WE START A CONVERSATION
Straight
answers.
A little more about the work,
the approach, and what comes next.
01Do you advise, or can you help do the work?+
Both. I offer advisory and audits, and my team can help with implementation. We agree on the scope, responsibilities, and goals first so you know what we are taking on.
02What kinds of projects can we work on?+
SEO and programmatic SEO, affiliate marketing, paid traffic, lead generation, and practical AI workflows. We can focus on one area or connect several when that fits the business.
03How does a project start?+
Email me a short introduction, your website, and the problem you want to solve. We can discuss your starting point, available data, priorities, and whether the work is a good fit.
04How quickly can I expect results?+
That depends on the starting point, the scope, and the channel. A technical repair, a paid campaign, and an organic search strategy have different timelines. We agree on milestones and measures of progress before the work begins.
05How do you use AI in the work?+
I use AI to support research, content workflows, reporting, and repetitive operations. It works alongside people who review the output, make decisions, and stay accountable for the finished work.
06Can you help me get started with affiliate marketing?+
AffMaven and AffNinja are places to explore tools, reviews, and affiliate marketing ideas. For a specific business or project, we can discuss advisory support. Building income takes useful work, testing, and patience; there is no guaranteed outcome.
07Do you speak at conferences or run workshops?+
Yes. I speak about affiliate marketing, SEO, and AI, and can discuss practical workshops for teams. Send the event or workshop topic, audience, format, date, and location so we can explore the fit.
08What is The Affiliate Hustle about?+
It explores the thinking behind building an online income: focus, patience, decision-making, and staying steady through change. For book availability or related enquiries, use the email link in the book section.
09Why show your own projects?+
They make my approach easier to understand. You can explore what I build, who it serves, and how the different parts of my work connect. The projects give our conversation a concrete starting point.
10What should I include when I get in touch?+
Your website or project, the challenge, what you have already tried, and any timeline you are working toward. For speaking invitations, include the audience and event details. A clear starting point helps us have a useful conversation.
