Meet Ken Furukawa
From Corporate Life to Entrepreneurial Whim
Hey there, my name is Ken Furukawa, and I've been a full-time affiliate marketer since 2019.
I left my corporate job in 2013 to start an online business—mainly on a whim.
Building an asset from the ground up was too hard to pass up.
And let's say it's been an "enlightening" journey ever since.
Building an SEO Agency: The Early Days
Initially, I owned a local SEO agency that generated leads and sales for local businesses.
Meeting with clients to chart their roadmap to success was gratifying because I enjoyed educating people about digital marketing (and got paid to do it).
It truly was the best of both worlds.
Shifting Gears: From SEO to Amazon
However, after my son was born, I shifted my focus to Amazon, where I spent the next 5+ years growing my kitchenware brand, YUYO.
Having an Amazon store allowed me to be an actual "stay-at-home" dad.
(Besides, taking a newborn to a client meeting wasn't an option then.)
A Devastating Setback: Losing It All
Things were humming when a miscommunication with Amazon FBA Support led to them closing my business.
I was devastated because I lost everything I worked so hard to build.
So, I didn't jump into affiliate marketing by choice. It was by necessity.
Finding My Way in Affiliate Marketing
I bounced around for a couple of years, trying to find my way.
I bought shiny object products promising fast riches and tried questionable strategies peddled by fake gurus.
None of it worked.
The Turning Point: Discovering the Truth
It wasn't until 2019 that I learned the truth about affiliate marketing.
And as the saying goes, "The truth shall set you free!"
Since then, I've never looked back.
Why Lead Magnets Matter
I started this website and YouTube channel to educate everyone on the topic of lead magnets.
Lead magnets are often overlooked because many people underestimate their value, finding them time-consuming or complex to create.
Additionally, without proper promotion and alignment with audience needs, they may not be seen as a priority in a marketing strategy.
My Mission: Changing Perceptions About Lead Magnets
My goal is to change that perception.
I’m here to show you just how powerful lead magnets can be when done right.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your strategy, I’m committed to helping you create lead magnets that not only attract your ideal audience but also build a foundation for lasting success.
Let’s make lead magnets work for you, one step at a time.
