What This Thread Is:
What's up guys, this is a little thread documenting my journey trying to earn $200 a day consistently with content locking/CPA. I've been doing this for a few months now so I'm not totally starting from scratch. That being said, I've been documenting my earnings in excel every day anyways, so thought i may as well post publicly for anyone who is interested.
Pretext:
For a little context and to backdate my journey a little bit, i started this journey on Feb 1st. I'm no stranger to CPA but i had not done it in years. My experience comes from many years ago (probably around 2014) when everyone was posting clash of clans hacks on YouTube etc. I was pretty young back then so i never really had any interest in doing it long term and it was just free internet money I'd spend on Microsoft points or something lol. Since then i have gone to uni, got a job etc etc. The reason i started this journey again is simply because i saw a post on TikTok with locked content and thought "I used to do this lmao i wonder if its still a thing". After looking at some threads on here i realised it's still pretty profitable and why not give it a go out of boredom.
I'm not going to lie, I'm not super passionate about this as i have a full time job that pays well, so this isn't some "getting out of the mud", "escaping poverty" etc. journey. it's simply revisiting an old money scheme out of boredom and for a bit of extra money.
Set Up:
Spare iPhone for posting (with a few sims),
A Few YT Accounts,
A Few TT Accounts,
2x Complete Niches (website + content created, content being posted almost every day)
2x Niches in progress (website + content currently being created)
2x Niches Ideas (have two ideas that i will start after i have finished the site + content for the ones in progress)
Current Earnings (As of May 19th 2026):
As you can see from the chart above, i started this journey on February 1st, since then it has been a bit of a rollercoaster. I slowly started purchasing aged YT accounts, spamming YT Shorts, and posting on other social media sites where my niche's target audience has a little bit of a presence. Within a couple of weeks i was consistently making around $10-$15 a day.
In March, i averaged around $28 a day but earnings were very volatile, some days i'd make $15 some days i'd make $40+. this was mainly due to luck and a user completing a high paying offer rather than low paying one. Traffic was growing slightly & steadily but the earnings don't reflect that too clearly.
April 9th, i woke up to find most of my YT accounts banned and my videos wiped off the face of the earth. Sucks but it is what it is. i spent the next couple of days doing a bit of content in response, but after this i kind of gave myself 2 weeks off because i was busy with work and in my social life etc. During this vacation period i was earning around $8 a day on average on autopilot. Around the 24th of April i got back to grinding out the content and started post more frequently.
Since then the earnings have been growing pretty consistently. Nothing has changed with my method, i simply have been giving it more effort since I'm less busy outside of my job. Thankfully, i can spend a few hours every other day on this side scheme.
Yesterdays Earnings (19th May 2026):
$60.48
Over the last 7 days i have made: $346.18.
(An average of $50 a day).
Given that this is my average over the last 7 days i feel like its a pretty good journey starting point, so essentially, this journey is trying to go from $50/Day to $200/Day.
Goals/Success Criteria:
My main aim is to earn $200/Day consistently. By consistently i mean over a period time, rather than just a few days. Therefore i will not deem this journey a success until either:
Future Updates:
I intend to update this thread every week or every couple of weeks. I like to keep track of my earnings and what actions i'm doing on each day, so it should be pretty easy to fill in the gaps between updates. I'll try to include charts and annotate any important updates.
Thanks and feel free to ask any questions!
