Independent Home Business Academy Affiliate

August 2026

How This Works (Read This Page First)

REQUIRED LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Typical affiliates earn no income. This is not a get-rich-quick program. No sales = no income. Full earnings disclosure: thehba.app/income

I am an independent affiliate of The Home Business Academy. This report discusses HBA products and I earn commissions on sales made through my links. HBA's published earnings disclosure reports that for the 12 months ending July 31, 2026, the average active affiliate earned $530 and the median active affiliate earned $0.

Every gray box in this file is a prompt - a set of instructions you hand to an AI assistant, which then does the writing for you. You don't need any experience, any software, or any money. Here is the entire method:

Open a free AI assistant. Go to chatgpt.com or claude.ai in your web browser and create a free account if you don't have one. Either works for every prompt in this file.
Copy one gray box. Highlight the whole prompt, copy it (Ctrl+C on Windows, Cmd+C on Mac).
Fill in the [BRACKETS]. Anywhere you see [SOMETHING IN BRACKETS], replace it with your own answer - including deleting the brackets. If you don't know an answer, that's fine: the prompts are built to interview you.
Paste it into the chat and hit enter. The AI writes. Takes about thirty seconds.
Talk to it like a helpful assistant. Not happy with the result? Just type: "make it shorter," "make it warmer," "give me 5 more options," "explain that in simpler words." It never gets tired and it never judges.
Put the result where the box tells you. Every prompt ends with a WHERE IT GOES line naming the exact HBA tool and screen. Copy, paste, done.

Work through the prompts in order, one sitting at a time. Prompts 1-5 you'll do once. Prompts 6-12 you'll come back to again and again.

Three rules that keep you safe

AI drafts. You decide. Read everything before you publish it. If a sentence doesn't sound like you or isn't true for you, change it or cut it.
Never publish an income claim. If the AI writes anything that promises money, results, or timelines ("you'll earn...", "make $X in 30 days"), delete it. Describe the products and your own real experience. Include the disclosure from the front of this file anywhere you promote.
Never paste other people's private info into an AI. Your own drafts and ideas, yes. Someone else's emails or data, no.

You own the Premium AI suite - use it with this file. Every prompt here runs in free ChatGPT or Claude, and as a Premium member most of them also run inside your tools: Email Alchemist for the email prompts (8-10, right inside the Emailer composer), PromptWrite AI for the writing prompts, Traffic Maestro for channel planning alongside Prompt 3 and Part 5. Use whichever feels easier - the prompts give you the right questions to ask either way. If you started with my Quick Start Swipes, Prompts 1, 8 and 11 will look familiar: same prompts, now with the other nine around them.

Part 1 - Find Your People

Do these once. Everything else gets easier after them.

Why this comes first: the number one reason beginners freeze is trying to talk to everybody. These three prompts leave you with one specific person to talk to, what they want, and where they already spend time online.

PROMPT 1 - Pick your market

I'm brand new to affiliate marketing. I promote The Home Business Academy, which sells tools and training for people who want to build an income from home (a $10/month goal-setting app, a $25/month funnel/page builder with email marketing, a $125/month training and coaching tier, and a financial literacy course).

Interview me one question at a time - my background, work history, hobbies, struggles I've overcome, and who I naturally connect with. Ask up to 8 questions. Then recommend the 3 audience groups I'm best positioned to serve, and for each one tell me: who they are, what they're struggling with, and why they'd listen to me specifically. Keep it plain and practical.

WHERE IT GOES: Nowhere yet - this is a thinking tool. Save the answer in a document or your HBA Notes area.

THEN: Pick ONE of the three groups. That's your person. Tell the AI: "I choose group 2. Summarize my target person in one short paragraph I can reuse." Save that paragraph - Prompts 2 through 12 all use it.

PROMPT 2 - Map what they want

Here is my target person: [PASTE YOUR TARGET PERSON PARAGRAPH FROM PROMPT 1]

List their 5 biggest frustrations (in their own words, like they'd type them into Google at midnight), their 5 biggest hopes, and the 5 objections they'd have about joining an online business program. Then give me the 3 messages that would make this person stop scrolling. Plain language, no marketing jargon.

WHERE IT GOES: Save with your Prompt 1 results. This is the raw material for every page, email and post you'll make.

THEN: Highlight the one frustration and one hope that ring truest. You'll use those two constantly.

PROMPT 3 - Find where they hang out

Same target person: [PASTE YOUR TARGET PERSON PARAGRAPH]

Where does this person already spend time online? List: 3 types of Facebook groups they join (with example search terms to find them), what they search on YouTube, and which one social platform gives a beginner like me the best chance of reaching them for free. Explain your platform pick in 3 sentences, assuming I have zero audience today.

WHERE IT GOES: Your channel decision. When The Proven Path says "pick ONE channel," this is how you pick it.

THEN: Join 3 of those groups today. Don't post yet - just join and read. That's Day 2 done.

Part 2 - Find Your Voice

Twenty minutes that stop you from sounding like everyone else's AI.

PROMPT 4 - Build your voice profile

I want you to learn to write the way I actually talk. Interview me one question at a time - about how I'd describe my business to a neighbor, what phrases I use a lot, what kind of humor I like, what I refuse to sound like. Ask 6 questions, then write a short "voice profile" I can paste into future prompts so anything you write sounds like me. Keep the profile under 150 words.

WHERE IT GOES: Save it. From now on, start any writing prompt with: "Use this voice profile: [PASTE IT]".

THEN: Test it: "Using my voice profile, write a 3-sentence social post about why I joined HBA." If it doesn't sound like you, tell it what's off and have it revise the profile.

PROMPT 5 - Mine your story

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]

Interview me about my journey - what my working life was like before, what made me look for something different, what I've tried that didn't work, and why I chose The Home Business Academy. Ask up to 6 questions, one at a time. Then write my story three ways: (1) a 100-word version for an About section, (2) a 30-second spoken version I could say on camera, and (3) a 2-sentence version for social media bios. Honest and warm - no hype, no income claims.

WHERE IT GOES: Version 1 goes on your bridge/about page in Funnel Builder (Prompt 7). Version 2 is your first video (Prompt 12). Version 3 goes in your social bios today.

THEN: Put version 3 in your bio on your chosen platform right now. Two minutes, done.

Part 3 - Build Your Pages

Funnel Builder + a template + these two prompts = your pages, today.

How pages work here: you never start from a blank page. In your HBA dashboard, open Funnel Builder Academy, then Done For You Funnels, and load a template into your Funnel Builder account. Every template is boxes of placeholder text. Your job is just to replace that text - and these prompts write the replacement text for you. (Remember: your turnkey capture page is already live without any of this. These pages are your round two, when you want pages that sound like you.)

PROMPT 6 - Capture page copy

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]
My target person: [PASTE TARGET PERSON PARAGRAPH]
Their biggest frustration: [PASTE THE ONE YOU HIGHLIGHTED IN PROMPT 2]

Write copy for a simple email capture page offering a free resource in exchange for an email address. The free resource is: [WHAT YOU'LL GIVE AWAY - E.G. "a short report on how I'm building an income from home with simple tools"].

Give me: 5 headline options (under 12 words each), 1 subheadline (under 20 words), 3 short bullet points on what they'll learn, and 3 button-text options. No hype, no income promises, sixth-grade reading level.

WHERE IT GOES: Funnel Builder: open your Done For You capture page template, click each text box, paste your picks over the placeholder text. Connect the form to your HBA Emailer list (Emailer > Forms/Webhooks).

THEN: Ask: "Which headline would you test first and why?" - then use that one.

PROMPT 7 - Bridge page copy

Same voice profile and target person as before.

Write copy for the page people see right after they opt in, before they're sent to The Home Business Academy's information. Structure: a headline thanking them and telling them what's next; my 100-word story from earlier [PASTE STORY VERSION 1]; 3 bullets on what The Home Business Academy actually is (a $25/month page builder with email marketing, training and community, with an optional free 14-day trial of the $125/month coaching tier); one honest paragraph saying I earn a commission if they join and typical affiliates earn no income; and a button inviting them to take a look. Friendly, honest, zero pressure.

WHERE IT GOES: Funnel Builder: the second page of your Done For You funnel. Point the button at your turnkey sales page link (it's listed in your HBA Emailer composer and your Affiliate Links page).

THEN: Read it out loud once. Anything you'd never say - change it. This page is you talking, not a brochure.

Part 4 - Write Your Emails

The HBA Emailer is your follow-up machine. These prompts load it.

How the Emailer works: open HBA Emailer from your dashboard. Broadcast sends one email to everyone now. Autoresponder sends a saved sequence automatically to each new subscriber - this is the machine that follows up while you sleep. Click Autoresponder, then New Sequence, and paste in the emails below one at a time. Two tricks: type {{firstName|there}} anywhere and it becomes their first name (or "there" if unknown); your affiliate links are built into the composer - click to insert, never retype them.

PROMPT 8 - Your 5-email welcome sequence

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]
My target person: [PASTE TARGET PERSON PARAGRAPH]
They just opted in for: [YOUR FREE RESOURCE FROM PROMPT 6]

Write a 5-email welcome sequence, one email per day. Under 150 words each. Plan:
Email 1 - deliver the free resource, one line about who I am.
Email 2 - my story (here it is: [PASTE 100-WORD STORY]) and the one lesson in it for them.
Email 3 - teach one useful thing about starting an income from home with simple tools.
Email 4 - what The Home Business Academy actually is, honestly, including that I earn a commission and typical affiliates earn no income.
Email 5 - invite them to take a look, no pressure, door stays open.

Each email: a subject line under 45 characters, short paragraphs, one link placeholder written as [MY LINK], warm and human. No income claims anywhere.

WHERE IT GOES: HBA Emailer > Autoresponder > New Sequence. Paste one email per step, day 1 through day 5. Replace [MY LINK] using the built-in link inserter (Turnkey Capture Page for emails 1-3, Turnkey Sales Page for 4-5).

THEN: Send yourself a test (Send Test button) and read them on your phone before switching the sequence on.

PROMPT 9 - Weekly broadcast, from one idea

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]

Here's one thing that happened this week or one thing I learned: [ONE OR TWO SENTENCES - E.G. "I posted my first video and 9 people watched it"]

Turn that into a short email to my list: a subject line under 45 characters, the story in under 120 words, one takeaway for the reader, and a soft one-line invitation with [MY LINK]. Sound like a note from a friend, not a newsletter.

WHERE IT GOES: HBA Emailer > Broadcast. Paste, insert your link, use Perfect Timing for the send unless it's urgent.

THEN: Do this once a week, every week. One real moment beats ten clever pitches.

PROMPT 10 - Wake-up email for quiet subscribers

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]

Write one short email to subscribers who haven't opened anything in a month. Under 90 words. Honest and light: I noticed they've been quiet, here's the single most useful thing I've shared lately (summarize: [YOUR BEST TIP OR RESOURCE]), and one question inviting a reply - "what are you working on these days?" No guilt, no pressure, no links except [MY LINK] as a P.S.

WHERE IT GOES: HBA Emailer > Broadcast, sent to your list about once a month. Replies tell you who's real - answer every one personally.

THEN: When somebody replies, that's a conversation, not a lead. Be a human first.

Part 5 - Make Your Content

One channel. One piece a day. These two prompts feed it forever.

PROMPT 11 - 30 days of hooks

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]
My target person: [PASTE TARGET PERSON PARAGRAPH]
My channel: [THE PLATFORM YOU PICKED IN PROMPT 3]

Give me 30 content hooks for this channel - one for each day of the month. Mix: 10 that speak to their frustrations, 10 that teach one small useful thing, 5 that share my journey honestly (including what's hard), and 5 that answer common questions about working from home. Each hook is one sentence I can open a short video or post with. Number them 1-30. No income claims, no hype.

WHERE IT GOES: Save the list. Each morning, take the next number and make that piece. The blank-page problem is now solved for a month.

THEN: When you find one that gets a response, tell the AI: "Number 14 worked well - give me 10 more like it."

PROMPT 12 - 60-second video script

Use this voice profile: [PASTE VOICE PROFILE]

Today's hook: [PASTE ONE HOOK FROM YOUR LIST OF 30]

Write me a 60-second video script I can read naturally: the hook line, 3 short conversational sentences developing it, one honest sentence connecting it to what I'm building (no income claims), and a simple close - "the link in my bio has the details if you're curious." Write it the way people talk, not the way scripts read. About 140 words total.

WHERE IT GOES: Record it on your phone in one take - good enough beats perfect. Post to your channel with your capture page link in your bio.

THEN: Camera-shy? Ask: "rewrite this as a text post" or record just your screen or voice. The words work either way.

Your First Week With This File

Day	Do	Result
Day 1	Prompts 1-3 (one sitting, about 45 minutes)	Your person, your message, your channel
Day 2	Prompts 4-5, update your bios	Your voice, your story
Day 3	Prompt 8, load the sequence into the Emailer	Follow-up machine running
Day 4	Prompts 6-7, build pages from a DFY template	Pages that sound like you
Day 5	Prompt 11	A month of content ideas
Day 6	Prompt 12, record, post	Your first piece is live
Day 7	Prompt 12 again + 5 comments + 5 invites	The 1/5/5 rhythm has begun

That's a running business machine in seven sittings, built by somebody who "doesn't know what they're doing." Turns out you don't have to know - you have to ask, paste, and press publish.

One decision left on your ladder: as a Premium member, the only rung above you is Financial Literacy Academy - 50% off during your first 10 days as a member - that works out at $500 - and $1,000 after, and the one purchase in the line that churn never touches. If your window is still open, decide on purpose before it closes. If it's passed, decide whether the course is worth $1,000 to you on its own merits - no clock, no pressure.
