Woman Who Lost 350 Lbs. Shares Her Excess Skin After Liposuction

Woman Who Lost 350 Lbs. Shares Her Excess Skin After Liposuction: 'It's a Big Insecurity for Me'

The Montessori preschool teacher, 31, lost 350 lbs. and now deals with excess skin, something she was body shamed for during two separate beach vacations.

 She’s undergone five skin removal surgeries — three on her upper body, one on the lower body and liposuction on her legs — but quickly learned that it isn’t an instant fix.

Adan has posted plenty of photos of herself since her surgeries, but for the first time, she decided to put up a video showing exactly what her legs — her biggest source of insecurity — look like now.

“This is getting very real, but I did want to be honest and open and share everything with you guys, so this is what we’re working with,” she said in an Instagram video on Monday. 

“They’re a lot more loose, as you can see. There’s a lot of it … There’s lots of dents, holes from the liposuction sucking out. This is kind of just what they are. They’re heavy, there’s a lot of it.”

Adan explained that she first had liposuction in January to get rid of some remaining fat in her legs, and is meeting with her surgeon this week to move on to the next step — skin removal.

“It’s a big insecurity for me, my legs, but at the same time, mentally it’s not just challenging, but physically,” she said. “As you can see, there’s a lot of weight. It’s heavy. Lifting my legs just to go up and down the stairs, in and out of bed, is hard because they’re so heavy.”

Adan said she decided to post this video to help her move past her insecurity.

“I wanted to share my legs with you because…well, because I am scared,” she wrote. “Even though I do not hate them anymore, I still feel very insecure with them. 

Even though I am insecure, I am not going to let them stop me from living my life or sharing them with you. This is real and this is me. This is what hard work looks like.”

And Adan — who certainly knows about body shaming — added that she refuses to be bothered by any negative comments about this video.

“You can call them ugly, nasty, big, fat, disgusting. Don’t worry anything negative you could ever say about them I have thought those things too,” she said. “I am now embracing my legs for what they are … I am not going to call them ugly anymore. These are my strong legs.”

It happened again. 
Last year on vacation, I was so nervous to wear a bathing suit and I was so nervous about how my body would look to other people.

 I was even pointed at and laughed at when I went to get into the pool. For a moment I froze, in complete embarrassment, before I decided to move on and not care. Guess what?

It happened again. It happened this year while I was on vacation again. 
Yes, I was walking on the beach and again I was pointed at and laughed and made fun of. 

As I was getting laughed at and pointed at something came over me. I was not embarrassed, I did not feel like I had to justify myself and I did not freeze or want to cry. I actually felt free! This time...I just did not care! 

I tried to go over every change inside my head as to why this year I just did not care. Then it finally hit me. I do not depend on the approval of others, and I do not care what others may or may not think about my body.

 I am so focused on living my best life, and I have been working so hard on loving me exactly how I am...loose skin and all- that I do not have time to worry about what others may think or say. 

I can finally say that I am at a place where I still have insecurities and a lot of loose skin, and yes mentally I still struggle at times, but I can finally say that my self love journey has been the focus of this past year.

And being at this place in my life where I can walk around in a bathing suit and genuinely feel confident, happy and not care what others may think or say, that is true transformation. That is true growth. 

So I am sharing this picture of me in a bathing suit for all of you. This is me. Right now. This is my body. This is what hard work, sweat, blood, tears, smiles, happiness, pain, love, and hard work look like.

 This is what it looks like to finally accept my body for what it is. This is me. And I am not making anymore excuses as to why I look the way I do...this is just me. Loose skin, cellulite, stretch marks and all. This is me. And I can finally say, I love me!

Head over to my YouTube channel to check out my full video where I share the exact moment I was made fun of and how it made me feel! 

Best Skin Care Products With Squalane

What Exactly Is Squalane? Plus, the Best Skin Care Products With Squalane You Should Be Using

You may have stumbled across the word "squalane" while scanning the ingredient list on a new skincare product, or maybe you caught wind of the buzzy term from some girlfriends over brunch. The bottom line? Squalene is something you should definitely know about, and you should consider adding products with squalane into your skincare routine. (You probably noticed a slight spelling change—that's because they're actually two different things.)

Squalene is a fatty molecule found in the skin that is highly versatile. "It maintains skin's moisture barrier and hydration, and is also an antioxidant that has anti-aging properties for neutralizing environmental damage," dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, tells Health. The human body actually produces squalene (a part of our skin's own natural moisture), but the amount made and retained in skin starts to heavily decline in our 20s. Enter: topical products that contain squalane.

What exactly is the difference between squalane and squalene? For starters, squalene is incredibly unstable, goes bad quickly, and can clog pores. "Squalene itself is very reactive and becomes oxidized quickly, but when it is hydrogenated, it becomes squalane, a much more stable ingredient," explains New York City dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD. Squalane essentially comes from squalene, and is the more optimized, skin-friendly version with a much longer shelf life.

The ingredient you most often see listed in beauty and skincare products is squalane. It traditionally came from the liver of sharks, says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. "However, cruelty-free and environmentally-friendly methods of extracting squalene from plant sources has become popular," he adds. In fact, cosmetic squalene can now even be derived from olives.

Not to be confused with hyaluronic acid (also found naturally in the skin), squalane actually plays quite nicely with this mega-hydrator. "Hyaluronic acid is a humectant that draws in and attracts water, while squalene is an emollient that seals in moisturize and minimizes moisture loss," says Dr. Nazarian. Apply your favorite skincare product with hyaluronic acid and follow up with layer of squalane for best results.

Also good? Squalane's molecular makeup is very similar to our own skin's cell membrane, which allows it to absorb rapidly, Dr. Jaliman says. It's super lightweight and has a non-greasy formula, making it safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It rarely causes acne or allergic reactions since it's naturally found in the body, Dr. Jaliman adds.

Ready to kick your skincare game up a notch? Below are dermatologist-approved products—from facial creams to hair oils to hand treatments—jam-packed with squalane, all under $100.

Health or Safety ?

Health or Safety

When the Chronicle ran the fourth installment of its series "Out of Control,"examining the risks to pedestrians and bicyclists in our region, it prompted a spirited conversation on the Facebook page of Critical Mass Houston, a group that organizes a monthly bike ride for cyclists of all skill levels.

Some of the comments got heated circling around the observation of Maggi Gunnels, acting regional administrator for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. She was quoted as saying: "This really is a crisis. A public health crisis."

The term "public health" is what drove it off the rails. Public health isn't sexy. And it's often misconstrued.

A subset of health

On April 23, 2017, Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA), walked onto the stage at the March for Science in Washington, D.C. A bunch of heavyweights were there.

Bill Nye the Science Guy. Denis Hayes, one of the founders of Earth Day. Questlove provided the musical backdrop, and Thomas Dolby dusted off his '80s hit, "She Blinded Me with Science." NASA's Nancy Grace Roman, a.k.a. "Mother Hubble," wowed the audience simply with a smile and a wave.

Dr. Benjamin had no flashy fireworks, no huge name recognition, no musical accompaniment. Even as he stepped to the podium, there was rain on his glasses.

But the crowd was his. "We represent thousands of public health professionals who practice science every day to keep people healthy and safe in our community."

This group knew the work of public health advocates improves their lives in almost any area imaginable. Many people don't.

During the exchange on Facebook at Critical Mass Houston, one person responded to a post that attempted to explain the range of topics under the public health rubric, writing: "You are conflating public safety with public health. 2 different things. That's why we have the Department of Public Safety and Texas Department of State Health Services. This is a public safety issue."

That's right, and wrong. It is indeed a public safety issue, but that makes it a public health issue. Safety is a subset of health.

Catherine Troisi, associate professor at UTHealth School of Public Health, serves on the board of the APHA. I asked her what "public health" really means and why it's sometimes confusing. "Public health has two main goals: prevent disease and promote health. The Institute of Medicine defined public health in 1988 as 'what we as a society do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy,'" she said. "The public health system includes not just health departments but transportation, hospitals, city planning, schools, law enforcement, etc. etc. — in fact, it's hard to find something that's not part of the public health system. All have a role to play in protecting the health of a community through either preventing disease or promoting health."

Troisi continued: "I think that there's a lot of misconceptions about what public health is. Part of the reason is that we refer to hospitals such as Ben Taub that treat people who don't have insurance as public health hospitals or "public" health hospitals where "public" modifies "hospitals," not "health." One survey found 47 percent of people thought that public health was government-provided health care for the poor. We also talk about what doctors and nurses and hospitals do as 'health care' but it's really medical care. Medical care treats the individual using stethoscopes, thermometers and more advanced diagnostic tools, but the individual is the focus. Public health practitioners use their tools (demography, epidemiology, vital statistics) to look at long- and short-term trends across populations and communities are their 'patient.'"

Susan Polan, associate executive director for public affairs and advocacy at the APHA, puts it this way. "Public health is like an invisible umbrella that is protecting you, your family, your community from harm 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Specific to the "Out of Control" installment, Dr. Benjamin told me: "Pedestrian and cyclist deaths are preventable. To address this public health concern, many communities are adopting Complete Streets policies that help make our roadways safer for all who use them. Under a Complete Streets approach, communities retrofit poorly designed roads by adding sidewalks and bicycle lanes, reducing crossing distances and installing crosswalks and better bus stops. This helps make walking and biking safer and more inviting for users of all ages and abilities. This approach also helps reduce traffic speed and points of conflict — two big causes of costly crashes."

A question of language

But if the experts are agreed, the average person on the street may not see it the same way. Why not? I believe it comes down to word usage. So, let's imagine we are at almost every high school speech ever given. It starts like this: "Merriam-Webster defines health as ... "

1. a: the condition of being sound in body, mind or spirit
b: the general condition of the body

2. a: a condition in which someone of something is thriving or doing well: well-being
b: general condition or state

And here we should see the distinction between health and medical care. Health is all about wellness; medical care is often a response for when health is absent.

Distinctions can get blurred when words are used to mean different things, especially in such close proximity, like "public health" and "health care."

"We've tried to come up with a better term, and some people talk about 'population health' or 'community health,' " Troisi told me, "but I think we need a different term — just not sure what it is."

CHRONICLE INVESTIGATION: Out of Control

Regardless of how the language wars play out, the work of public health advocates continues. Water standards, education improvements and student support, epidemiology, contagious-disease prevention and response, criminal justice reform — these are a few of the many areas they address to build and support systems and policies that make it easier for people to choose to be healthy. Polan says it works because they connect cause and outcome. "The goal of public health is to keep people well. To do that, we move upstream to the things we know will make a difference, like creating seat belt laws, supporting vaccines, reducing emissions so we have clean air."

If you're on a bike, here's what upstream might look like: bike helmets, dedicated lanes, thoughtfully designed intersections, drivers who are trained to respect riders and a justice system that holds drivers accountable.

There are public health professionals working toward those goals right now, because they know a crisis when they see one.

Even if some folks don't recognize the name.

Health Effects of Lead Poisoning

Health Effects of Lead Poisoning on Children

Important sources of environmental contamination include mining, smelting, manufacturing and recycling activities, and, in some countries, the continued use of leaded paint, leaded gasoline, and leaded aviation fuel. 

More than three quarters of global lead consumption is for the manufacture of lead-acid batteries for motor vehicles. 

Lead is, however, also used in many other products, for example pigments, paints, solder, stained glass, lead crystal glassware, ammunition, ceramic glazes, jewellery, toys and in some cosmetics and traditional medicines. 

Drinking water delivered through lead pipes or pipes joined with lead solder may contain lead. Much of the lead in global commerce is now obtained from recycling. 

Young children are particularly vulnerable to the toxic effects of lead and can suffer profound and permanent adverse health effects, particularly affecting the development of the brain and nervous system. 

Lead also causes long-term harm in adults, including increased risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage. Exposure of pregnant women to high levels of lead can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth and low birth weight.

Lead exposure can have serious consequences for the health of children. At high levels of exposure, lead attacks the brain and central nervous system to cause coma, convulsions and even death. 

Children who survive severe lead poisoning may be left with mental retardation and behavioural disorders. 

At lower levels of exposure that cause no obvious symptoms, and that previously were considered safe, lead is now known to produce a spectrum of injury across multiple body systems.

 In particular lead can affect children’s brain development resulting in reduced intelligence quotient (IQ), behavioural changes such as reduced attention span and increased antisocial behaviour, and reduced educational attainment.

 Lead exposure also causes anaemia, hypertension, renal impairment, immunotoxicity and toxicity to the reproductive organs. The neurological and behavioural effects of lead are believed to be irreversible.

There is no known safe blood lead concentration. But it is known that, as lead exposure increases, the range and severity of symptoms and effects also increases. 

Even blood lead concentrations as low as 5 µg/dL, once thought to be a “safe level”, may be associated with decreased intelligence in children, behavioural difficulties, and learning problems.

Encouragingly, the successful phasing out of leaded gasoline in most countries, together with other lead control measures, has resulted in a significant decline in population-level blood lead concentrations.

 There are now only 3 countries that continue to use leaded fuel . More, however, needs to be done regarding the phasing out of lead paint: so far only one third of countries have introduced legally binding controls on lead paint.

HEALTH : Anxiety Epidemic

Is There An Anxiety Epidemic?

The way that anxiety manifests itself has not really changed over the centuries and we’re still plagued by the same forms of anxiety disorder as our ancient ancestors, but the things that trigger our anxiety have certainly changed. We still experience many traditional causes of anxiety such as poor health, difficult relationships, unemployment, poverty and disadvantage, loneliness, work stress, and exposure to violence, trauma, and conflict. Even in our modern world, some of these traditional sources of anxiety are on the increase. These include loneliness; relationship factors such as divorce; violence and abuse – including childhood abuse and neglect; increased working hours and more stressful work procedures; and a general sense of lack of control over our own destinies – especially amongst our youngsters who are introduced to the possibility of failure earlier and earlier in their lives as a result of increased systematic educational testing. Thankfully, some of the traditional causes of anxiety are generally on the decline, factors such as poverty, poor health and to some extent unemployment. But they leave in their place some new anxieties, such as income inequality, living with long-term disability, and the stresses of modern day job seeking.

In addition, modern technology has provided some entirely new sources of anxiety for the present generations. These include 24-hour perpetual connectivity, the need to multitask across a range of different activities, and regular increasingly emotive news alerts and doomsday scenarios. Very soon almost every appliance in our houses will be connected to the Internet, fueling fears of identity theft, data hacking, phishing, grooming and trolling. Even that bastion of modern day living, the computer, brings with it daily worrisome hassles that include crashing hard drives, forgotten passwords, and the frustration of daily transactions that begin to seem strangely distant when all we’d like to do is speak to a real person. Riding on the back of our daily computer stresses is the perpetual connectivity provided by social media. The first recognizable social media sites were created in the mid-1990s, so most youngsters under the age of 20 will never have lived without the curse of social media. And a curse it can be. Social media use is closely associated with social anxiety and loneliness and can generate feelings of disconnectedness when we view what seems like the rich lives and social successes of others. A consequence of social media use is that youngsters count their social success in terms of metrics such as the number of friends they have on sites like Facebook, not the number of genuine confidants they have – confidants who would be true friends in times of difficulty and need.

            To supplement this rash of new, modern anxieties is a gradual shift in the social ethos surrounding anxiety. This change has been almost contradictory in the messages it sends to us. We’re told anxiety is a legitimate response to the stresses of modern living, and anxiety is almost considered a status symbol that signals how busy and successful you are. But we’re increasingly told that anxiety is an emotion in need of treatment. Diagnostic categories for anxiety problems have burgeoned over the past 30 years, the pharmaceutical industry is keener than ever to medicalize anxiety and sell us a pharmaceutical solution for it, and increasing numbers of social campaigns increase awareness of mental health problems such as anxiety, valiantly attempt to destigmatize it, and then help us to identify it and seek treatment for it.

            But it would be irresponsible of me to claim that all is doom and gloom on the anxiety epidemic front. Roughly 1 in 5 people regularly suffer distressingly high levels of anxiety but there’s no significant evidence that this ratio has increased over the years. But even if that ratio stays the same, as populations grow, more and more people will suffer anxiety and will be seeking treatment for it as awareness of mental health problems increases. On the other side of the coin, 2 out of 5 people tend to experience only low levels of anxiety, and will rarely need to seek treatment unless they encounter extreme life events that elicit extreme responses.

New psychosocial treatments for anxiety are continually being developed, and we now have specialized CBT programmes for most if not all of the main anxiety disorders. In addition, access to basic forms of CBT for common mental health problems such as anxiety has increased significantly in a number of countries with the successful introduction of programmes such as IAPS (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies), and computer-based CBT for anxiety is an increasingly effective medium through which sufferers can be helped to recover. But even with the most successful evidence-based psychotherapy and pharmaceutical procedures, we’re still some way from helping 100% of people to recover from anxiety disorders, and some anxiety disorders such as OCD and GAD can be debilitating life-long conditions resistant to both current medications and psychotherapies. To improve the range of interventions available we need significantly more funding for mental health research. The level of funding for mental health research is pitiful when compared with that provided for research into other medical problems, and arguably much of the funding that is available goes to medical and neuroscience programmes rather than the psychological research that would be needed to develop more effective, evidence-based talking therapies.

So, is there an anxiety epidemic? Contemporary definitions of the term ‘epidemic’ no longer allude to disease as a necessary condition, and consider an epidemic anything that negatively impacts on the health or welfare of a large number of people in a population. One in five people in the UK suffer high levels of anxiety at any one time; one in nine people worldwide will experience an anxiety disorder in any one year; anxiety prevents you from working, learning, or performing your social and family responsibilities to your full potential; anxiety and stress account for over a third of all work-related ill health and costs over £100 billion in England each year in lost productivity and reduced quality of life; and anxiety can kill – even sub-clinical levels of anxiety can increase the risk of mortality by 20%. So, yes, we do have a modern anxiety epidemic, but then so have most previous generations. The difference is that in our modern era we have a whole set of new and evolving anxieties and a growing awareness of anxiety as a potentially distressing and disabling state. We’ll need to rise to the contemporary challenges that this presents in terms of understanding the causes of anxiety and the suffering it conveys, dealing with the economic cost to society that anxiety imposes, developing new and more effective evidence-based intervention and prevention programmes, and providing more realistic levels of funding for mental health services and research.

She Was ‘Too Fat To Run’—Here’s How She Proved Him Wrong

What would you do if you were out for a Saturday morning run, training hard for your next race, and all of a sudden a car drives by and throws a McDonald’s cup at you? What about if a group of young boys comes up behind you and smacks your butt, giggling as they run away?

Believe it or not, both of these examples of supreme body shaming have happened to competitive runner Julie Robinson, author of The Fat Girls' Guide to Marathon Running.

Robinson, who’s from the United Kingdom, considers herself a plus-size runner. But anyone who thinks her weight holds her back is seriously mistaken. She’s been running for about 15 years and has completed marathons, ultramarathons, and triathlons around the world. Now, she’s taking on what she calls her “bucket list” race: Sunday’s New York City Marathon.

RELATED: Everything You Need to Know to Train for a Half Marathon

For Robinson, 15 years of running has also meant 15 years of body shaming, exclusion, and misguided stereotypes. “People automatically think you run to lose weight, and then when you don’t lose weight, they’re like ‘Why are you still fat?’” she tells Health. “There’s this assumption that we only exercise for slimness, and for me that’s not the reason.”

Running is like therapy for Robinson. She used to struggle with depression, she says, and she credits exercise with pulling her out of it.

Another misconception Robinson can’t seem to escape: people thinking she’s a beginner. “They give you unsolicited advice about how to improve, and they say things like, ‘Once you’ve been doing it for a while, it’ll be easier.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, I’ve been running for 15 years.’”

RELATED: 6 Food Rules for Marathon Success

After years of putting up with body-shaming comments and actions, Robinson says she realized she couldn't be the only runner who had to deal with this kind of abuse. So in 2010, she started her blog, The Fat Girls' Guide to Running. In 2013, she turned it into a business, Too Fat to Run?

The name was inspired by one of Robinson’s most notable body-shaming experiences, when she went to the doctor with a pulled back muscle. As soon as she started complaining of pain, the doctor suggested she exercise more. “I was like, ‘Well actually, I’m training for a marathon,’ and he said, ‘Oh no, you’re too fat to run a marathon.’” Cue her determination to prove him wrong.

She calls her business a “virtual running club,” or an online resource runners can go to find carefully tailored workouts and training programs. It's also a platform for connecting with other women in the program. 

Robinson says she’s always felt excluded from the running community. She’s found traditional running clubs to be all about competition as opposed to community; they’re typically only worried about being better than other clubs. That meant whenever she tried to join one, the members assumed she would just slow them down.

That experience gave her the idea for her own business: a running club that’s based on inclusion and support.

RELATED: How to Harness Your Mental Strength, According to Marathon Record Holder Deena Kastor

By founding the Too Fat to Run? community, Robinson has had the opportunity to connect with women who face the same body shaming and cruelty as she did, something she never thought would have been possible when she first started running. She helps her clients on their self-love journeys, and she says they’ve inspired her to overcome self-doubt and other obstacles along the way.

“I know this is really cheesy, but I think marathons and long-distance running are a metaphor for life,” Robinson says. “You don’t have to know how it’s going to end, you just have to take the first step.”

They key to Robinson’s success? Setting “big, fat, stupid goals,” she says. Without something to work toward, it can be hard to motivate yourself. But when there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, it makes it easier to push through during tough times. This applies to both running and life, she adds.

Seeing her hard work pay off and accomplishing her wildest goals is the greatest confidence builder, Robinson says, and she tries to carry that feeling with her at all times. “Sometimes things happen in life and I think ‘This is so tough,’ but then I think, ‘Is it really as tough as running a marathon?’”

Income 2018

Simple Affiliate Marketing and Income 2018

Affiliate marketing is a multi billion-dollar industry that’s been proven to increase the income of vendors and affiliate alike.

It can go both ways. You can recruit affiliates to market your products or you can become an affiliate partner to promote the products of businesses that complement your own.

Both work to increase your revenue.

The key in both cases is to find the right partners. Once you do, you’ll need to track what’s working and what’s not with the right tools.

There are multiple platforms dedicated to finding affiliate offers such as Click bank, Flexoffers, and even Amazon.

Before choosing an actual offer, make a choice about what type of affiliate offer you’d like to promote. This will help you narrow your choices to a manageable few within your niche.

1. Digital Downloads

This class of affiliate products pays a higher percentage of the sale amount because the cost of delivery and hosting is negligible. They also tend to be cheaper.

They’re online resources that customers can access instantly after paying for them.

They range from audio files, video files, or PDF files. An example is the entire Amazon Ebook marketplace or software such as WordPress plugins.

Since they’re relatively inexpensive, it’s easier to get the sale but you’ll have to sell a high volume to receive a sizeable income.

2.Hosted or professional services

Professional services are a great way to achieve another stream of income through affiliate marketing. Before you settle on a provider, it’s important that you can vouch for their services.

Professional services tend to be more expensive than digital downloads. Hosted services, on the other hand, are cheaper but tend to follow a recurring subscription model.

Choose services that can cater to a worldwide audience as opposed to only local clientele. These are professional services like digital marketing or SEO (search engine optimization). An example of a hosted service would be a product like Lead pages or Convert kit.

As an affiliate for a professional service, you’re usually paid for the initial referral and that payment is much larger than what you can expect from a digital download. Hosted services tend to pay over the life of the subscriber you refer so the payments are small but add up over time.

3. Online Courses

This is a great way to earn a large affiliate income. Online courses are becoming more and more acceptable for adult skills development.

Everything from photography and gardening to digital marketing and productivity is being taught using online courses. In fact, the online education space is a multi billion-dollar industry.

Many of them have a premium price point and pay close to half of the revenue in affiliate income. They’re very similar to digital products but with one distinction – they’re not downloadable.

Choose online courses from reputable providers in your space and market them to your current audience. Within a short time, you’ll have enough extra income to offset more costs in your business.

4. Physical products

Affiliate marketing started with physical products. They’ve adapted very well to the internet. The first thing you’ll notice about physical products is they pay a much smaller percentage than other types of affiliate products.

This is natural because there are more costs associated with manufacturing, storage, and delivery.

Choose products that are unique, premium, and noteworthy. Commodity products aren’t worth your time because the commissions will be too small.

Market your Affiliate Products .

Affiliate marketing can be a full-time business and it is for many people. That’s not what we’re after. We’re going to look at a few ways to promote your affiliate products to increase your revenue without taking away time and energy from your core business.

I’d recommend not placing them as a direct offer on your website. This may dilute the effectiveness of your core offer. Instead, we’ll mainly market to existing audience members.
