I happened upon BHW when I was looking for ways to beef up my SEO skills...I was pretty naive and just wanted to make some $$ with adsense. Within a week or two I learned so much, not only about adsense, but more importantly, about CPA, which I didn't even know existed.
From there I started applying to CPA networks and running small campaigns using methods I read about here on BHW. My 1st days earnings were like $15, lol. I was pretty excited! My 2nd day I think I made like $45 or something, and my 3rd day I made $70ish. I honestly had no clue what I was doing. I just read a bunch of "making money" threads until I found something easy enough, that I thought I could do. From there it was a matter of just applying myself and scaling up.
Fast forward 6 months, and I'm where I'm at now, steadily making $200-$300 per day, and rising. I am approved with a bunch of the best CPA networks, have profitable methods down pat, and am scaling them up and automating currently.
I literally make about double, with IM, than I do with my regular 9-6 job. Eventually I look to quit the 9-6 and focus 100% on IM.
I wouldn't be where I am today without the people here on BHW that were generous enough to share their methods, tools, and relationships. I have made a lot of friends, several business partners, and some that fall into both categories. Before BHW I was just klutzing around, trying to scrape $$ together from adsense. Now I'm making good money, and the best part is that I don't feel like I've 'made it', or even gotten close to it. There is so much $$$ to be made from IM, through so many different methods, that this is something I will likely be doing for the rest of my life, as long as I don't break the internetz.
Thanks BHW!!!!
