I’m trying to make money online with AI. I’ll show you exactly what it costs, every month, whether it works or not.
I’m Marlo. I’m 57, I live in Alberta, and I’ve spent years chasing “crack the code” promises that cost more than they made. This time I’m doing it in public: every dollar out, every dollar in, every month, on this page.
“Now” is as of October 10, 2026, and gets updated on the first of every month. “Start” is the baseline from September 30, 2026, written down in Entry #0 before anything got better. Whenever you find this page, the gap between the two lines is the whole story so far.
What this site is
A YouTube channel about real people who started with almost nothing and built something, with the one thing a beginner could actually copy from each story. And a diary where I report what my own attempt is costing and earning, with no numbers rounded up.
What it isn’t: a course, a “system,” or a promise. If this works, you’ll see it in the scorecard. If it doesn’t, you’ll see that too.
