Rejected… again? Welcome to the Club.
Picture this: You’ve just set up what you thought was a killer affiliate funnel. You used AI. You used ChatGPT. You even sprinkled in some Tony Robbins quotes for motivation.
…And still—crickets.
No clicks. No sales. Just a dashboard as empty as your last Starbucks cup. ☕ (Hold that thought.)
Before you toss your laptop out the window and go back to watching Netflix on “emotional support mode,” let me tell you about a guy who ate rejection like it was his full-time job.
Meet Howard Schultz – Rejection King, Latte Emperor
Howard Schultz had a dream.
Not of launching an interstellar rocket company or becoming a motivational YouTuber, but of bringing fancy European coffee to America.
Sounds cute now, but back then? Investors heard “espresso bar” and ran for the hills. Howard pitched his idea to 242 different people.
Two. Hundred. Forty. Two.
That’s not a business plan—that’s a full-time cardio workout in disappointment.
Imagine hearing “Nah, not interested” 242 times in a row. Most of us cry after one bad ClickBank bounce rate. Howard? He dusted himself off, probably sipped a lukewarm cappuccino, and kept going.
The result?
Just a tiny company called Starbucks that went from a single shop to global caffeine domination.
What’s That Got to Do With You?
You might be thinking, “Cool story, but I’m not pitching coffee—I’m trying to figure out why my ClickBank link gets fewer clicks than a grandma’s MySpace page.”
Exactly.
Because Howard’s story isn’t about coffee.
It’s about a strategy change. About realizing what doesn’t work, then testing what does. Over and over.
Which brings me to your funnels, your ads, your lonely affiliate dashboard…
Maybe It’s Not You. Maybe It’s Your Strategy.
Let’s be real: ClickBank is a goldmine, but if you’re just grabbing any offer and hoping Facebook does the rest, it’s like selling iced lemonade in a snowstorm.
You need better tools. Better offer selection. Simpler pages. And someone who’s walked the affiliate trenches.
Which is why Anh Lê Tuấn—Top Affiliate, battle-tested marketer, funnel whisperer—is hosting a free live workshop that gives you the kind of strategy Howard Schultz would’ve sold his espresso machine for.
You’ll Learn:
- ✅ Why your current affiliate setup is probably sabotaging you
- ✅ How to spot high-converting offers (even outside ClickBank!)
- ✅ The one-page site that converts without a $997 funnel wizard
- ✅ A free case study gift that shows how to “spy” smartly on the winners
And yes, he’ll also show you how to stop crying into your keyboard every time a campaign flops.
A Free Workshop That Might Be Your Rejection #243 (But in Reverse)
If you’ve tried, failed, tried again, failed louder, and started talking to your autoresponder in frustration… just know this:
Howard Schultz got 243rd-time lucky.
Maybe this workshop is your turning point.
Your iced-latte moment.
Your sweet “ding!” when a commission finally hits your inbox while you’re binge-watching cat videos.

No pitch. No fluff. Just real strategy from someone who’s actually made ClickBank work.
Final Sip of Wisdom:
Affiliate marketing isn’t about being a genius.
It’s about not giving up after Funnel #7 flops harder than a reality show reboot.
Just ask Howard.
Or better yet, ask your future self—sipping that overpriced coffee, watching commissions roll in, and whispering:
“Glad I showed up to that workshop…”
