Hey everyone, a long path leads me to BHW community.

I have been a website developer and internet marketer since 2008 and have worked as a freelancer for many years. But I always created some projects for myself: the old MFA websites in 2009-2011, different kinds of affiliate stores, link farms, and many many more.

Sometimes Google algorithm was kind to me and I earned some money, but always filters come and break my strategy.

In 2015 I tired from all the SEO stuff and went to develop premium WordPress themes for ThemeForest, because I thought I gonna rich there :)

My first theme went really well, I earned $4k+ on the first month, but other themes were not so successful. Anyway, I tried again and again. I tried to hire a developer, scaling the business, took investments twice. It was 5 years marathon. I build 30+ themes, but couldn't earn even $7.5k per month, even in my team works 5 more people. So all the money went to salaries.

In the end, I sold the company and get a profit, but all the 5 years of work I just worked for salary.

I got huge WordPress development and team management skills, understood how/when raising investments.

Aaaaand here I am. I going to make new projects for traffic, affiliate product reviews, building PBN networks, and learning how to create profitable schemes.

Do you know why? Because I sold my startup for x35 and the world never be the same!

But I bought a flat, so I become poor again and should work for food. :anyway:

P.S. I don't want to build startup anymore, because I worked 80 hours per week for food, deadly tired, so I want make money and create something valuable.
