How I grew Framer affiliate commissions by 961% with free templates and no audience

I want to share what actually worked for me building a Framer template business from scratch as a solo designer.

The short version: nine free niche templates, a site treated like a real product, serious SEO and AEO work, consistent daily content on X and LinkedIn, and an affiliate model that compounds quietly in the background.

No viral moment. No existing audience. No shortcuts.

I wrote everything down in a short book available for $7.99. But more than selling the book I wanted to share the approach here because I think it's genuinely replicable for other designers and solo creators.

Happy to answer any questions about what worked and what didn't.
