I'm exhausted

trying to figure out how to make money selling courses after falling off. this time last year i was making 5k a month selling a pdf course on shopify through instagram reels in the reselling neiche. I would just reupload moneyspread vids from tiktok and i ended up getting the account to over 40k before insta completely shadowbanned it. I have another course fully set up following the same model but ive been running around in circles for the past two weeks trying to figure out how to promote it. I have a good antidetect setup with tiktok accounts and igs but i dont even know what content to do that will successfully convert without showing my face. AI videos? prop money? act like a douchebag infront of a camera? i dont even know. am i just wasting my time? should i be learning ads? if i did they would be breaking both insta tos and tiktok and i dont have hundreds to spend on cloaking. i feel like this is pointless and i should move onto something else like affiliate marketing but even that seems super saturated
