chasing the income target first is the wrong move, everyone said that, but heres the specific fix: your problem is almost always offer-to-traffic mismatch, not the niche. since you already tried adult, lean into it, the free intent traffic that actually converts adult is reddit nsfw subs and adult forums, not ig/tiktok that ban you by day 2. and pick a SOI offer (email or zip submit) not credit-card-submit, SOI converts way higher on cold traffic so $10/day is realistic on tiny volume. cc-submit pays more per lead but youll convert almost nothing cold. what payout were the offers you ran, and were they SOI or cc-submit?
