i honestly think what you've said here is kind of the problem with society they have chosen to make this complex and people go around claiming they are teaching people, when in actual fact this teaching is just worthless. people don't know the value of whats going on and the worlds run wrong, totally wrong.the are people that go around trying to learn ideas from these so called teachers, and they learn nothing, tell you what a affiliate link is a link to try something out directly if these things work they work, if they don't they don't. i know for a fact i just leave affiliate links for things i partake in, like fantasy sports because if you are good at reading stats and form you can profit, but if you are not good at it, then could learn or it could be hit or miss, but "teaching" kind of people especially online often teach the wrong things, to the wrong people under the guise of helping them.
