September 2026
September was a very busy month, the main highlight was attending this year's Shenzhen SEO Conference as both a workshop speaker and official sponsor from September 14-18.
I was invited to host a 3-hour workshop on conversion rate optimization (CRO) to a small audience of attendees on September 14, and it was great to receive lots of engaging questions from the audience.
I also met with attendees from many backgrounds, including agency owners, marketing managers from Chinese companies, and entrepreneurs.
Attending events like this remind me that networking and building relationships is one of the highest value activities in business, especially in an increasingly digital and AI world.
Now that the conference is over, my next major milestone is leaving Bangkok and relocating back to Canada by the end of October.

- Sessions: 6,844
- RPM: $159
- % of Revenue (Amazon): 88%
Revenue was down last month with no changes in traffic, mainly due to changing promotions on Amazon and missing the sales target for Creator Rewards for the month.
My goal is to develop a new affiliate website template using Claude Design to launch new websites and eventually migrate the old one over as well. So far, I've been making good progress on the template:
Next month, my main goals are to finish the new website template and complete my relocation back to Canada!
To Flexibility and Freedom,
