About Me

Hi, I am Denis, and I’m glad you’re here.

I’ve been exploring tech since the late eighties—back when two floppy drives and no hard drive was the norm. I dialed into BBS communities, explored CompuServe and AOL, used Telnet and Gopher, and watched the web take off with Netscape. I’ve seen every wave since then, and this new era of AI is by far the most exciting.

I’ve seen every wave since then, and this new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is by far the most exciting.

What I do here

GratefulAffiliate is where I translate the future for everyday people.

For a long time, I focused heavily on affiliate marketing. But as AI began to reshape the world, I realized the biggest barrier for most people wasn’t “marketing”—it was fear of the technology itself.

My mission now is to show you how to use modern tools to work smarter, not harder. You’ll find plain language, real examples, and actionable steps. No hype, no magic buttons.

Why listen to me

I spent years working a full-time job while trying to figure out the online world in my spare time. I’ve run into scams, wasted money on shiny objects, and learned the hard way that success comes from focusing on value.

I am not a coder. I am a translator.

I embrace new technology so you don’t have to face it alone. You don’t have to be a tech expert to benefit from AI; you just need a plan, good habits, and clear guidance.

My approach to AI

AI is a tool, not a replacement for your ideas or integrity. It can help you think clearly, write faster, and make better decisions, IF you use it with purpose!

Here’s how I approach it:

  • Start with strategy: Decide on your goal first, then choose the tool.
  • Protect privacy: Use safe settings and workflows.
  • Build skills: Let AI speed up learning, not skip it.
  • Deliver value: Create content and work that helps real people.

What you’ll find here

  • Beginner’s Guides: AI tools explained in plain English.
  • Productivity Systems: How to use tech to get your time back.
  • Honest Reviews: I test the tools so you don’t have to waste money.
  • Digital Skills: Yes, I still teach the fundamentals of online business (like SEO and content creation), but powered by modern efficiency.

A Personal Note

If you feel “late” to the AI wave, trust me, you’re not. You’re right on time to learn the skills that will serve you for years. If I can navigate from DOS prompts to ChatGPT, so can you!

Denis
