I have searched for a while now through all the different forums on methods and ways to make money. I was wondering what methods have worked for you guys and if you could link it to this thread. I'd appreciate it. One that interested me the most was mass farming IG accounts and monetizing them after but I'm still very unsure on what to try. I know I should test different methods out and see what works for me and that I should put in work instead of asking for suggestions. I have around $500 I am willing to invest so I'm also wondering what you guys would do if you had that money to invest.
Thank you.
Sounds like you already know what you really need to do, trial and error. That's the only real way to find out what works for you, because what works for one may not work for another.
I'm sure by now you've read that with the majority of the methods on here, it's best to apply a twist to it to make it unique.. else technically everyone would be doing the exact same thing, and it would be overly saturated.
One thing I've learned over the years is what prevents alot of newcomers from earning money, is they get stuck in the hesitation phase.. instead of taking action. So while one could have begun their campaign weeks, or even months ago, they stall because they're nervous of failure or are looking for a copy and paste method. Well the latter I can guarantee won't come, and failure is pretty much inevitable.. but you learn from it. When I started approx 15 years ago, I failed a few times but eventually got the grasp of it. I also kicked myself in the butt for hesitating so long and not just making moves.
While trying out whatever strategy you choose, use your free time continue reading and soaking up as much as you can. When you either succeed at what you're working on, or even if you fail.. you'll still have something else to try or add on to whatever else you have going. I find it best to have multiple campaigns, running in multiple methods to be best because tomorrow isn't promised for any marketing strategy.. things change daily. Look at email marketing, when I started no one would of predicted that the CAN-Spam act would come out and change everything. When I was AOL and AIM marketing, no one thought they would eventually start rolling out lawsuits to combat the mass spamming on their platform. Take IG as an example, when I began with that 4 years ago.. it was pretty much like taking candy from a baby.. nobody was expecting them to crack down on the botting as swiftly as they have in the past months. Someone mentioned losing 150 accounts in one swipe yesterday, I'm sure he didn't foresee that. So always have a back up. Make sure to be comfortable with your strategy, and when you are that's when to add another strategy to the mix.
I hope that helped you a bit to get the ball rolling on whatever it is you were considering, and some insight on how things play out sometimes. As far as suggestions.. depending on your budget, paid advertising works with affiliate marketing.. but can take a while before you fine tune it to see profit every time you run an ad, but once you do.. you should be golden. If on a budget, go ahead with free traffic.. use anyone of the social medias and automate it. Preferably, in the long run you'll have automation on multiple social networks and your only focus will be on maintaining account health and your websites. Me personally, I've been using IG, FB, and Reddit for quite a bit and it's been working out well. It's not all peaches and cream as it requires alot of maintenance.. but the fruit it bears in the long run is worth the hard work. As the user said earlier, hardwork is what will get you to your goal.
Alot of people mistake internet marketing as easy, it's not always necessarily easy.. it's more than anything convienent, as you can set your own hours and essentially work from anywhere aslong as you have an internet connection.
I've typed enough to last me a week, at times I feel motivated to help others if I feel they genuinely will put the advice to good use. I hope you do. Good luck!
