Haha, I agree with the easiest days being behind me, it was definitely alot easier back then, shit.. what's easier then loading a 500k email list into a mailer, writing a couple custom messages and hitting send.. without having to invest in a bunch of proxies at that. There was no CAN Spam Act back then .. you could easily mail out 500k emails a day and reach the inbox without having to worried about being sued. AOL sued quite a few emails spammerso around that time, that's when the can spam act came out. AIM spamming evolved, and was a gold mine. Those were my 2 first methods of making money online, using the adult niche. $35 per sign up, there wasn't all this freel pornhub.com around every corner of the internet so people actually were buying it, you didn't even have to trick them into joining some dating site. I was pushing Maximum Cash and Adult Friend Finder and a slie of other ones. Crazy thing was, back then you could jump in the game with 0 knowledge and given the right tools or knowing the right people you could easily see your first $500/week within a couple weeks. Competition was there, but nothing like it is now.. not sure I agree with my best days have passed though, still have a few tricks up my sleeve, but the easiest are definitely long gone in the past.
