Some random pleb's media buying journey

SomeRandomPleb said:
Alright.

Current state of things:

Quora main account (gambling): 40k total answer views, around 1000 clicks to my offer, 0 conversions (I'll stop posting on this one and let it sit, gambling is way too hard to convert) - total of 250 answers posted and top 5 author on 3 different gambling related topics.

Quora adult account: 200k total views, roughly 200 clicks on chaturbate and 2 signups (no spenders yet), content locker about 20 clicks (25 cents earned so far).

Other quora accounts: a cpl thousand views, 500 clicks on fiverr affilliate program (I link to it in the answers), no conversions yet (I also posted a few fiverr links on Reddit).

Plan for the next week:
- code my adult image scraper, I need more content in order to start 10 adult profiles. The one I'm currently running I spend more time on getting content to post than actually posting it. Adult accounts are low effort to maintain.
- create a chaturbate whitelabel - assuming it could convert better than just linking to main chaturbate
- test out a posting bot over the weekend (it's a public one so no idea if it actually works). If I can automate the tedious profiles I'd be a very happy man.
- test out more ways to potentially monetize it. For adult, monetizing the chat traffic could be a good thing, the links I've shared in the chats had about 90% click rate. With the right offer and a convincing message this could generate some money.

I tested clickbank with one account, however the posts always get removed within minutes, even if I redirect through my own domain and slap a link shortener on top of it.
Not gonna touch clickbank for quora, will test out digistore24.

I will write off gambling completely, as it's extremely high effort and simply too hard to convert the way I'm promoting it. I have splattered around 20-30 links on quora, maybe they might get me some depositors in the coming months/years, who knows?

Adult I want to automate ASAP. It's easy to get traffic, conversion rate (and payout) extremely low but if it can be put on autopilot I'm happy about that. It could slowly generate a tiny income stream to cover my basic setup while learning the tools to branch out into other niches.

Gameplan over the next few months:
Get some money coming in from quora, figure out a way to reduce time spent manually on it, then focus on Reddit. Quora is so much easier to post and spam links than Reddit. The traffic quality is also way worse because it's relatively easy to do.

I also made $100 during last week yield farming crypto with a $1k bankroll (still found a tiny meme bag on one of my old wallets, so I put it to use).

Where do you yield farm crypto?

Uniswap right now.
The market conditions are not right to farm some newer protocols that pay out yield in their own shitcoin, nor would I want to deal with anything that isn't on ETH right now. If it's a bull-market, I'd go for those xxxxxx% APY shitcoin farms again, during a bear it's too much risk.

That's a big earning for 1k$ crypto for one week

It's peanuts compared to a bull run. Also it might go well for a week and the next day your principal might drop by half... What are $100 earned if your $1k drops to $500 in the same timeframe? It happens more often than not. I would never advise anyone to make a living off of crypto with money they need for paying bills. I've seen too many friends going from highroller to a broke bum within a mere few hours in that space.

Oh i thought it was no risk ones, i do no risk ones for 20-40% yield
 
Alright, Reddit got a bit delayed. I had some issues with the marketplace where I bought my account to process my payment. Woke up and order got delivered. Same thing with my proxies, they were so slow I couldn't load the page. Proxy support was amazing tho, sent them a livechat message and they replaced them within 5 minutes :D

I made $1 on Chaturbate yesterday (accidentally shared the CPL instead of the Revshare link)

Tried to automate Quora with Su Social yesterday, but it's not the kind of tool that would let me automate it the way I wanted to. I'm thinking about coding my own Quora bot as I haven't seen any public one that does what I need.

I'll get myself 5 Reddit accounts now and warm them up until next weekend so they're ready to post some affiliate links. I did a small experiment with a notification tool and commenting with my 9 years old account. No ban, but those butthurt plebs on Reddit downvoted me into oblivion. Quora might be the better place to plaster your links but the traffic is way worse and it's depressing to answer questions manually for hours on end.
 
Keep posting, mate. Your journey is very interesting. Wishing you all the best.
 
Working on a basic puppeteer script to grab scraped questions on a text file and get them answered on chatgpt web UI (because gpt 4 and cheaper than API). Then paste the answers into a excel file.

This will do the heavy lifting for quora.

Scraping questions will be another beast but there are tools out there already for that (that actually work).

I also don't care that it takes longer than API, goal is to have a list of questions, sorted per niche & account, then let the script run it through chatgpt while I'm at work. So each evening when I get back home I can collect the answers to post. This will greatly improve my efficiency and preserve my sanity :D
Might consider getting a VPS to run it 24/7 if it becomes stable enough.

I also hired a webdev for an automated job posting site with my crypto profits. I got the domain since mid june but didn't wanna bother setting up a job board which would involve me posting new positions manually. If it's even remotely as automated as advertised I'll be a happy man.
 
Small update - will elaborate once it's weekend.

Job board website -> gonna be completed soon
I also bought another product off the same vendor with additional crypto profits made in the meantime. Will provide feedback once everythings delivered etc. but so far service was smooth af
^main focus for the weekend will be playing around with this.

Reddit -> in to the trash can, got my good account banned for shilling Fiverr and warming up is too much a pain. Don't wanna deal with this mentally deranged cesspool for now.

Quora -> Made a script to generate answers withing Chatgpt web interface, not using it right now tho - needs improvement and a proper strategy.

I have reached out to an old associate of mine and he was kind enough to scrape me a metric shitton of porn pics. Will sort through them and create accounts for each set, automatically post in quora spaces once per day with each account and let the traffic trickle into chaturbate and my content locker.
^
It's the easiest thing to automate, once this has been set up I can expand on the script to handle more complex stuff like answering questions etc.

As you might see, I'm pretty tired of doing shit manually. I want to have as much automation set up as possible before I lose my job. I wouldn't do that shit manually even if I had 36 hrs available in a day.
The stuff I figured out that works, earns poorly atm - with automation I don't care. It's about building a foundation of tiny cashflow. I'd rather spend my free time figuring out how to bring in bigger numbers than spamming the internet mindlessly just to keep the pennies coming in.
 
You are adapting and changing things up like water!. kudos.

Best of luck.
 
1. "I also bought another product off the same vendor with additional crypto profits made in the meantime" -> So, you are still doing crypto? Care to share some basic strategies?
2. What exactly is the job website about? How are you planning to monetize that?

when you said your Quora main account you got a 40k total answer views, around 1000 clicks to your offer, and 0 conversions. It happens the same to me....
But it happens because the visitors to your offer are probably Indians, Pakistanis , or other people from poor countries!
That sucks! poor people are time wasters!!!!

After so much analisys that's the reason!!
That are facts bro!!!
