I need YOUR opinions guys

Hey guys,

a little bit about myself.

I've been in the online marketing game for 6-7 years now, i've made some good money in the past but I mostly used blackhat tactics.
I'm currently still doing CPA but i'm sick of it.
I know its nothing sustainable, nothing that builds ab and its only shortterm.

I can't live like that and need something I can RELY on, especially once I get older, get a wife and maybe a family.

So its clear: I need to change my business model and therefore build a complete new business.

I basically have 2 ideas:

1. sell digital information products

2. sell services to local businesses with longterm contracts. i.e. hairdresser, restaurants etc.
i.e. facebook ads, website creation, maybe even rep. management

What would you guys do? Could information products be longterm? The only topic I could really teach about would be making money, but tbh the niche is very saturated, lots of fake gurus and increasing ad costs.

Any suggestions?

Option one is better in my opinion. It would be more rewarding for same amount of time spent.

Option one is most likely your best bet if you don’t need satisfaction from direct customer interaction.

Option two might be a pain at times.

You likely already know what you should do, try flipping a coin on either option if it lands on the one you truly don’t want then you’ll know which to follow bro.

You already answered your question. Diversify your income sources. Start saving money for your future.

1. sell digital information products

Your own or as an affiliate?

2. sell services to local businesses with longterm contracts. i.e. hairdresser, restaurants etc.
i.e. facebook ads, website creation, maybe even rep. management

This is workable if you live in a smallish town, do a town guuide / directory and sell ad spaces ?
Then the businesses who don't have websites, offer to sell and maintain for them

My friend,
both of your suggestions are good and someone can get success from that. But its all about implementation.
Online marketing is all about new idea and implementation and your reputation.

Why you are not reselling proxies, domains & some services?
That will work. Or you can start some new website, at first you have to invest some penny over there but it can be a long term asset .

Don't get a wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband
It will save you a lot in the long term
(speaking out of experience)

Trying to IM while keeping girlfriend/wife happy is a tiresome! You need to spent time with them so you can't fully focus on your journey like you can at the moment!

I would say option 2 is the more long term option if that's what you want. It's going to be hard work but it will pay off.

I'd create own products. Being affiliate again can be a pain in the ass, if I want a longterm sustainable business
I need to have as much control as possible.

But as i already said - the only niche I could teach about is making money and I got some doubts if its worth my time,
because right now there are SO MANY gurus, especially in the making money niche. Seems very saturated
and Ad costs are increasing.

Would you think there is still money to be made even as a newcomer? (newcomer to the audience!)


2. I live in a bigger town, around 500k citizens. I'd probably do webdesign, set up facebook ads and maybe IG
marketing.

I would say you can do a mix of both - selling digital products on subscription basis would generate passive income for you.
When you sell services in your local area - you can build a long term business relationship, get money on service delivery - no need of waiting for affiliate payments.

Could you explain option 2 more?
i think option 1 is good but saturated

Digital products are gold mine and pure passive income if you can pull it off properly
