Adam Enfroy · If I was starting a blog with AI in 2026, here’s what I’d do ↗
What It Is
Instead of a search-only affiliate site, you build a personal-brand blog that teaches a topic and funnels readers into your own coaching or course. Affiliate links and ads come second. Alongside the blog, you work one secondary traffic source matched to where your niche's audience spends time: YouTube for fitness or finance, Pinterest for fashion, Instagram for spirituality.
The Pitch
Enfroy's math: $10,000 a month from affiliate links needs about 40,000 monthly visits to high-intent review posts, and from ads about a million visits at a $10 RPM. The same $10,000 could be 10 course sales at $1,000 from about 25,000 visits, or two coaching clients at $5,000 from roughly eight booked calls. He says SEO on its own is now 'dead for small bloggers', even though his blog still earns about $65,000 a month in affiliate commissions on little traffic. His starting plan: free ChatGPT or Claude prompts in place of paid SEO tools, 20 starter articles (15 informational, 5 affiliate), two posts a week (about four hours), and the rest of a 10-hour week on the second platform. Aim for first affiliate income in 3 to 6 months and build your course or coaching offer as soon as possible, collecting emails with an exit-intent pop-up.
Who It’s Best For
Someone who can genuinely teach a skill, even a few steps ahead of beginners, and is willing to show up on a second platform and sell coaching or a course rather than stay a behind-the-scenes affiliate site.
The Truth (as we see it)
The funnel math is illustrative, built on assumed conversion rates rather than measured results, and coaching means real sales calls and client work. The shift away from search-only blogging matches what Enfroy reports about his own traffic drops, and his revenue figures ($517,000 in 2024) are self-reported. The video includes his Bluehost affiliate link ($1.99 a month), recommends Kadence AI, and pitches his paid AI Income Blueprint program with a Blog Automation Factory bonus course.
