My name is Denis Blanchard, and I am “grateful” that you have found my page.
You could say I’m an “old-timer” when it comes to technology. I’ve been around since the late ’80s, starting out with a computer that had two floppy drives and no hard drive! Back then, I was already fascinated by the digital world—logging into BBS (Bulletin Board Systems) before most people had even heard of the Internet.
I was using services like CompuServe and AOL long before websites became mainstream, and I explored tools like Telnet, Gopherspace, and Wildcat before Netscape made “surfing the web” a thing.
💡 But here’s the thing—technology changes fast. And it can feel overwhelming, right?
I’ve seen those changes firsthand. From floppy disks to AI tools, it’s been a wild ride! And while it used to be just a hobby for me, I eventually decided to take things further.
🔹 Adapting to New Tech (Even When It Feels Intimidating)
Let me be honest: new technology can be scary—especially when you’ve spent years doing things the old way. But here’s what I’ve learned:
You don’t have to be a tech expert to use today’s tools.
I’ve embraced AI and productivity tools to take my online business to the next level, and you can too. If I can do it, anyone can. I’ve made it my mission to help people like you discover that technology doesn’t have to be complicated or confusing.
🔹 My Journey into Affiliate Marketing
After years of working a regular 9-to-5 job, I wanted more. I started exploring ways to make money online—tried a few things that didn’t work, ran into scams, and wasted time on “get rich quick” schemes.
Eventually, I discovered Affiliate Marketing, and everything changed.
Now, I run this site—gratefulaffiliate.com (and a couple of other sites)—to share honest, real advice on building a business online. No fluff, no false promises. Just real tools, real strategies, and real support.
🔹 Helping You Embrace Tech & Build Passive Income
The reason I created this site is simple:
And to guide you through building your own online income step by step.upport and tools needed to build a successful online business.
To help people like you break free from the 9-to-5 grind.
To show that AI tools, productivity apps, and affordable tech can make life easier—not harder.

Hi Denis,
Because of your post, I thank you for that, I realise that I have been ripped off!
Thank you for seeing the Mary System scam cleared up ».
Because of your post, I realized that I was scammed by this site where I invested €67 and then €289 Please tell me how I could get this money back, which I invested here, precisely to replenish my bank account, where I was robbed of a lot of money… From the bottom of my heart Thank you
God bless you just like I do
Lemme know more-leaving the medical field and I need something NOW!!! $$$$
I have sent you a private message yesterday Paul, but if you did not get it you can come and join me over at Wealthy Affiliate. I will be happy to help you out within the platform. However, I must tell you right now that you will not be making any money right away. Actually, the reality is that there are NO systems on the Internet that can make you rich overnight (even if thousands of them say so).
An online business has to be treated just like any other kind of business. You have to put in some work and persistence in order to succeed! The systems and products that tell you otherwise are just selling “snake oil” and are just in to get your hard-earned money and leave you empty-handed. Believe me, I have been there!
About 5 years ago, I went through a lot of bogus systems and scams that only cost me money and I never made a cent. Scammers will say anything to lure you in, and they hire actors to tell fake testimonies. I see it all the time. Then I found Wealthy Affiliate and I made it my mission to tell regular people about it so that they don’t do the same mistakes I did back then.
Let’s do this together!
Denis
