Craig Johnson
From Bartender to Entrepreneur
I’m Craig Johnson, the founder of Upstride®. I’ve helped over 45,000 people over the past 20 years break free from their 9-5 job and live the life of their dreams.
My journey started in May 2003 when I started my own online business. I was able to quit my full-time job as a Bartender within 3 months of starting out.
My goal is to help you achieve your financial and lifestyle dreams – and I’ve developed a system that makes it quick and easy!

My Philosophy for Pursuing Your Dreams
My approach to affiliate marketing flips the script on traditional tactics. At the core of everything I do is a belief in the transformative power of helping you achieve your dreams.
This principle guides every lesson I teach, focusing on cultivating multiple income streams and nurturing organic growth to build a powerhouse email list of over 250,000 subscribers.
It’s simple, yet revolutionary: we put your dream outcomes ahead of everything else.
