If someone would say it aloud that from a blog someone could build a career by providing a space for sharing promotion codes, there is a high chance of many not believing it.
And it is so because of valid reasons. However, against all odds with the use of the right platforms, a blog has made a name for itself for providing promo codes, promotional offers, and deals.
The journey, which is still ongoing, was not easy. Nonetheless, with a small and modest beginning, the blog promocodes.my, which was intended for only sharing the promo codes of Uber and Grab has now become an umbrella platform for sharing promo codes of numerous e-hailing platforms.
It is not only limited to promo codes now, but the blog has also evolved into a platform where apart from promo codes, all kinds of available deals, promotions, and offers are being shared in Malaysia.
The blog is now known as mypromo.my instead of its previous name. This kind of journey is possible because of the hard work and dedication of the dreamers who want to break the norms and platforms like ACCESSTRADE MY act as a lighthouse to show the way forward.
Because in the absence of a network like ACCESSTRADE MY, it would be very difficult, if not almost impossible, to connect with the right brands that could be trusted.
The journey of Philip who has created a name for the blog “mypromo.my” is an inspiration for all the people who are working tirelessly to build something beautiful like this platform where one can get promo codes easily.
The journey of this blog is not only inspirational but if to put it mildly it is a blueprint, a raw truth to acknowledge.
ACCESSTRADE MY, as an affiliate marketing platform, has played a significant and colossal role in this quest of Philip in making the blog, a trustworthy affiliate marketer.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Let’s test the whole process of becoming a full-time affiliate marketer in the words of Philip itself, step by step.
The Promo Code Blog: The Beginning
Why did you start affiliate marketing?
To earn some extra side income. Affiliate marketing had a lot of opportunities for a driven and passionate person, it still has, and I thought why not try to make the best out of it.
Can you share a little bit about how you got started with affiliate marketing and when you started?
It’s actually by chance. The traffic was great, everyone was looking for new codes daily for the e-hailing rides. And there were refer and earn offers for new Uber and Grab accounts.
That’s how it got started.
What was interesting about affiliate marketing?
To be honest, the most interesting part of affiliate marketing is making good money out of it. Plus, I was able to make a difference by helping others as when I started doing this everyone was in need of codes on a daily basis for various purposes.
How did you first find out about affiliate marketing?
By chance, I was just sharing Uber & Grab promo codes. And the opportunity to earn from introducing a new account came. However, now when I look back at my journey as an affiliate marketer, I think instead of “by chance” it was more of a “curiosity meet opportunity” thing.
Were you worried that it might be a scam?
No, I was not worried about it being a scam. Always go through trusted affiliate marketing networks like ACCESSTRADE. If someone is taking certain precautions and does not ignore the red flags then the chance of getting scammed really diminished. Above all this, one must navigate the initial phase of some innovative journey only through the platform that can be trusted without any hint of doubt. In my case, it was ACCESSTRADE.
How have you benefited by joining ACCESSTRADE MY?
Yes, being a trusted affiliate marketing network, you can push and share ACCESSTRADE campaigns with confidence, as it’s not a scam and getting paid on time. These two things, proper satisfaction of the platform being legist and getting the payment on time, have benefitted me enormously as I was able to concentrate on what I was doing without even wondering about the scam and all and the timely payment also acted as motivation.
Like Philip, ACCESSTRADE Malaysia has provided a solid network to many more innovative affiliate marketing enthusiasts.

Tremendous! In a way, life has not only changed for the better, but it has transformed for the best. Working from home and hours are flexible, no boss to report to, no pressure, and the best thing is the income has been
What does your regular day look like?
Just like any other working person, I go to my desk from 8 am and end at 6 pm. One must put effort into making it happen. That’s the trap, the idea that being your own boss makes it easy and all. You have to take it seriously, only then something fruitful would come out of this.
How do you create content to promote the products?
Contents revolve around current promotions and sales. The best content to create is voucher/promo codes. Everyone loves extra discounts. Build your content around vouchers and promo codes and they will come.
Did you manage to influence your friends or family to join affiliate marketing?
No. Not active in this department.
The Way Forward
Do you see yourself doing affiliate marketing in the long run or is it a short stint?
It’s going to be long-term. As long as there are commissions to earn from promotions and offers, mypromo.my will continue to share. That is to say, I am here to stay.
What are the challenges you faced when you first joined affiliate marketing?
Not knowing how to create good content. You have to think out of the box to come up with good content. And there is also the fear of scamming affiliate marketing platforms.
How is affiliate marketing helping you? Finance? Career?
As mentioned earlier, affiliate marketing is a good source of income. It’s a full-time job. If you would do it with full passion, it is very beneficial financially.
There is no doubt that an outstanding person could be carved out from this arena as many people have successfully made a great career from affiliate marketing and day by day the list is going on.
What are the new challenges you are facing now?
It’s a very competitive market. There are other publishers who are bigger and better than you. Need to find new ideas and ways to reach out to more followers. You must think of something new to show and originality does not come easily.
