i was into bug hunting and also CTF games i was doing good in that its been a year now since i started learning about marketing and stuffs it's good af combined with some types of bugs you can bank really hard mostly with blackhat cpa
how is blackhat CPA? can you point me to right direction? thanks
 
I've been doing bug bounties for 7 years now, i don't earn much, only ~$25.000 a year, but i live in a 3rd country with a very devalued currency x dolar so i live confortably. I've been thinking about using my bug bounty knowledge on SEO for years but i'm too afraid of legal suits or identity disclosure.

there is always way around it. but hey, i think you are in the right place and you can learn a lot from other people here.
 
I heard bug bounty pay is terrible - is it true
it really depends, if you do your homework, a practice almost every day, put the time, no it pays really well. for example one time i found a bug for private program and they pay me 3000$ (XSS, session hijack, account takeover)
but it would definitely be hard for someone who does have family, and should pay the rent and stuff, for that kind of person without any background knowledge(programming, Linux, networking, ...) , yes it would be hard.
i am single (i don't like to settle down, it's not that fun LOL), the government pays my rent (i live in Germany), and yes, you can make good money. but as i said, you have to work, and most importantly you have to love hacking (or programming, which was my first interest), other than that it will be a disappointment.
now you might ask why am i here then? bug bounty is good, but the big problem is that you have to put a time to find something, so you will waste a lot of time, and maybe sometimes you will find nothing (it will happen), but i said to myself that it would be much better to make some online business to makes good amount of money (my plan is to hit 1000$ per month, that's my short-term goal, then we will go higher).
so for that goal, i am doing research to see what are the option.
something that i find that catches my eyes is indiehackers.com, damn i love this site. check it out.
hope you find it useful (and if you have any idea for making 1000$ per month, love to hear) ;)
