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!

Your Dreams First

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.
