Hi, I'm Eugene — and this is how I actually make money online.

I've made over $1.4 million since 2020 running my own affiliate websites. I share exactly how I do it across my social media and courses, where I teach everyday people to do the same using my tactics — only what works right now, never outdated stuff that stopped working years ago.

I can't believe that Eugene is giving all this info for FREE. This is a gem.

Eugene is such a gem. I understood everything he said without any confusion. I can confirm that he knows what he's talking about, as I use many of the tools he mentioned. This deserves to be premium content.

Eugene has dropped a lot of gems in this video… I will rewatch it over and over.

What my students are saying

Real people using these exact methods.

Today I'm here to extend my gratitude. The SEO course helped me a lot. Mind you, I knew nothing about SEO before joining. Since I joined, I have been able to make about R40k from ad monetization and affiliate deals. I'm looking forward to staying consistent — the goal is at least $1000 per month.

Before joining Rank to Earn, I already owned a few websites and had experience in digital marketing. The course helped me level up — what stands out is how beginner-friendly it is, with detailed step-by-step guidance on building and growing sites from scratch. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to earn online the right way, because this is not a get-rich-quick scheme — it takes learning, consistency and effort.

Rank to Earn has honestly been one of the best investments I've made. Eugene doesn't waste time with unnecessary theory — he shows you exactly what's working right now and gives you the blueprint to reverse-engineer real results. I'm currently earning between $700 and $1,000 per month from my websites in less than a year. The best part is I feel like I'm only getting started.

I started this course with only basic knowledge of SEO and website building. I knew absolutely nothing about affiliate marketing. I took Eugene's course and did everything as shown. It took me about 8 months to see my first dollar — and I've since made over R55,000 in earnings since seeing that first dollar.

From a fitness blog to $1.4M online

Eugene Madondo

I'm a South African SEO specialist, consultant, and digital entrepreneur. My online journey started back in 2012 at university, when I launched a fitness blog to share what I was learning. Within a year it was pulling around 100,000 monthly page views and earning a few thousand rand a month — small money, but it changed how I saw the internet.

That lesson pulled me into digital marketing as a career. I learned blogging, Facebook ads, technical SEO, local SEO, on-page SEO, and link building across startups, agencies and tech companies — eventually becoming an SEO manager at a crypto startup and then building a six-figure-per-month consulting business during COVID.

Today I run my own portfolio of affiliate websites and have earned over $1.4 million online. I share exactly how I do it across my social media and through my courses, where I teach people to build the same kind of income using my tactics. The one rule I never break: I only teach what's working right now. No recycled advice, no strategies that died two algorithm updates ago.

The Borrowed Playbook Starter Kit

Exactly what I would do if I were starting out in affiliate marketing today — with little to no money. It's built around one idea most beginners miss:

  • How to borrow the social media strategies already working for other products and offers
  • How to start with little or no budget instead of waiting until you "can afford it"
  • The exact first moves I'd make in 2026 — not the outdated advice everyone else repeats
