Any help would be appreciated

Ok so i've been lurking on BHW for a year or so and decided to take action a few months ago and that was when I tried CPA and didn't have any success. I'm not looking to be spoonfed but is there any tips for newbies that don't require any skills/knowledge/investments? (obviously I'm willing to learn and invest but it's hard to invest when you have nothing to invest).

2 big problems with your post.
"a few months ago and that was when I tried CPA and didn't have any success"
"don't require any skills/knowledge/investments"

The first can be forgiven for lack of knowledge but the second can't be forgiven for lack of commitment and desire.

How am I supposed to have knowledge/skills when I tried and had no success after trying for 1 month.

Two things here. Trying for 1 month is most definitely not enough to know if something is working or not. Secondly, knowledge/skills can be acquired whether something is working or not. You can follow some of the journey threads. You pick up knowledge and you imitate the skills. I can't even count how many 18 hour days I put in the last 10 years, even when things were good. Not everything you try will work but everything you try will give you more knowledge for the next thing you will try but you can't start with 'something that requires no knowledge/skills/investment. Even time is an investment, for most people a bigger investment than money.

From the time I invested all I learned is that youtube/Instagram and other ways to bring traffic to CPA is very hard to do for a beginner and if 1 month is not enough how much would you recommend to spend on trying new methods?

I don't have much experience in the yt/ig social media CPA game so I can't say much but from what I know these are short term methods that also rely on monetary investments into proxies, servers and third-party software. As such I wouldn't advise new people to go into this stuff. I wouldn't advise people to chase short term methods anyway. Start a blog, build some online real estate, it might not be lucrative from the get-go, but if you follow through there is a higher chance of that working than social media that can be shut down by social media companies overnight. If not that then maybe learn to code, so you have a genuine skill that can be sold if your own projects don't work.

Iv been doing this for 10 years, and now I sit and think If I had stayed consistent with one of the blogs I started when I got into IM I might be in a much better position and I already do quite good. So my friend, think long term, think about where you want to be in 2 years' time, 5 years' time, 10 years' time. Not something you would do for 3,4 months and then IG changes its algorithm and your method is dead and you're left holding your balls.

I'm not implying that short term methods don't work. I'm sure some people are doing good with them, but I don't consider them as a smart business move.

What do you think about Adult CPA?

What do you think about Adult CPA?

You probably don't know of it but almost 7,8 years ago. Maybe a little less maybe a little more. CpaLead launched a network called AdultAccessNetwork. It was the CpaLead alternative for adult traffic. I banked on it big time. But it wasn't a model that could/would have lasted. Not only did AdultAccessNetwork shut down just after a few months, the method saturated and it relied on service providers that would have banned accounts as soon as they got knowledge of what was happening.

So again my advice would be to focus on something that doesn't rely on breaking third party rules so you're entire earnings are not at the mercy of somebody else. Bad shit still can happen but at least the bets will be more in your favour. With that in mind, it can be Adult CPA or whatever.
