Mark Ling, honestly

Twenty-six years, four brands, and one gap worth naming.

The record

Online since 1999. Affilorama and Traffic Travis through the SEO era. Profit Helix more recently. Fifth consecutive September under the Commission Cycle name.

The gap I would name

That record is in niche sites, product ownership and mailing a warm list. This programme teaches cold-start Instagram organic. Different job, and the record does not carry across by itself.

What it does buy you

A seller who will still be there in November, terms that mean something, and a business that has to face this year's buyers again next September. That is a floor, and it is more than most sellers at this price offer.

The figure people misquote

Students' aggregate sales through one network over many years, confirmed in writing. Not his income, not typical, not a forecast for you.
