I'm very impressed with what you did in the past!
I don't think you lack on motivation, just focus on one project and adapt to the situation (ban, violation).
Why not look at what is getting accounts banned and modify your methods?
I tried to adapt my scripts, and the behaviour/frecuency. I did complete refactor of my code for some projects... But I failed too xd
I don't get it... If you have all the skill to automate various accounts. Why didn't you use it to promote a long-term adult site you made. Build a review site, maybe even combined with a tube site, don't automate anything on it (like the content) so it doesn't get penalized. And use your skill to get a drip feed and promote it. It would rank so well in a year. In 3, like the time you wasted, you would probably see lots of good money.
Maybe it's not that smart, I'm a newb, but that's what I would do with your skill.
In the original post I said that I'm designing the dabase models for an adult tube site. I thought it a lot of times, I can post to tumblr, to twitter, to facebook, to instagram... For sure I will use them to promote if I create a site. I've never created a site to rank it. So I don't really know to get Optimize it. Probably my next thread would contain questions about On Page SEO and Keywords Research.
@jtrash01 I know what you feel bro. I'm on the same boat. Been in IM for about 4 years, made some money, yes, but currently got stuck hard. Trying this, and that, and getting frustrated cuz am also unemployed, but have some skills with SEO etc. Learned a lot, yet am feeling worse than a guy without a school cuz i dont earn shit atm. Was looking for some mentors but they all only spreading same things. We need some little push i guess, stay strong mate
hey mate. Stick to one method and keep working i am sure someday you will surely achieve what you want.
Thank you for your kind words
@smarty84 @Frezer
Focus on one thing and one thing only. By the way, why are you not selling landing page templates? You have the skills for that and good LPs are always needed.
Mate,
Here's what you should do:
1. Pick one idea and i really mean, one idea. If its CPA, then that's it
2. Stick to it for the next 36 months. Do nothing else. You will see people telling you that other 'money making ideas' are better. Don't bother. Keep working on your thing.
3. Post here after 36 months about your success.
You clearly have the skills, as others have said here; what you lack is focus
Andrew Carnegie (convert his wealth to modern dollars and he would be far richer than Bill Gates and Zuckerburg combined) said that the key to starting out with super success is to put all your eggs in one basket and then guard that basket with your life
You need to have one and only one project then obsess like a madman and throw the kitchen sink at it. If you have other businesses; turn the keys on them (close them down) and salvage what you can from them to throw into your main project. Play long game not short term spikes.
Stick to 1 method and perfect it, only then once you start getting a little income invest back into other methods to keep adding more eggs to your basket.
This helps because once one of your methods die(it will happen) you have back up cash still coming in. But the first step is finding that method thats going to get you started.
You said your efficient in php/python so why not head over to the "Hire a Freelancer" section or build a website offering your services. And before automating any of the methods you have tried so far, do them manually, then you can determine the best way to automate the method without any major hiccups.
Seems that there's consensus... Focus needed, and diversify work.
@memphis17 &
@Knxtt I'm not in the mood of making landing pages to sell them, Or offering services at all. Why ? Dunno... I just don't see myself doing this by now. But I'll keep the Idea and maybe some day. 2015 was with difference the hardest year in my entire life (my father had a heart attack (he's alive), lost his job and we got bankrupt, We had to sell almost every property, included car). In 2016 I've learnt A LOT of things. But I still have to digest most of them. I have more than 3000 categorized bookmarks in my chrome (and rising) So I need some peace... And these things, selling LP's / freelancing makes you have to support or stay for others.
WHy would you waste your time on 'methods', instead of working to build an asset, and a real business?
These methods that are shared here look good on paper, but I wouldn't waste a second on them .. Why? Because they are temporary.
You should have spent the time to learn SEO, built a little affiliate site, and worked on that. By now, it could have been a nice little earner. Something you OWN, something you could sell for thousands of dollars.
My advice to you, would be to stop with the shitty little methods, and start working on something REAL
PPC would be a good start, but that needs a substantial budget. SEO is the easiest to get into, with the lowest barriers to entry. You only need a few dollars to get started.
Clever words. Thank you. Thats on average what I think and how I see it. I think I need something that I OWN... and stop the bleeding of short methods. About PPC / domain redirect traffic... It's one of my fears.. To get eat my budget too soon when doing campaigns. Also, If i'm short on money and bid for $0,0004 traffic probably this would be shittty traffic form tier 3 countries or worst, bot traffic.
For knowledge you have I can only say from personal experience. I am also some 'IT guy' with good knowledge but can't count to find real stable job because I live in shitty corrupted country. I hope that is not case in yours, so first advice would be to try finding some stable real job using your knowledge.
Second, if you want to do IM, I must agree with some articles I read in the past. They say that at first it's better to work with CPM,CPC because you will see, maybe small, but amount of money which will motivate you to continue and improve work. When you become good in that you can try affiliate. And etc... Some kind of path, or levels, through work and time we become better and experienced so we could try other things. Of course nobody must follow this, but it's easier.
First you must
back trust in yourself, then make some research and decide what is that you want to work, take niche, build network and pick up that easy money because you can do it. Good luck
Maybe we are from the same corrupted country

Another one that suggests CPM/CPC
Just sit and be relaxed for some hours and think , think and only think what are you best at ?
How you can sell your services ? Stop focussing at crak revenue or all these small incomes, focus at something big
I was at your same situation but I started quitting things one by one and now I'm able to make $5000 per month by just doing what I'm best at and still I'm focussing on other CPA things and testing
but trust me stop focussing at small things just focus at big things
eg. Python - If I were you, I would have made so much how ? Just make a bot of any of the method in which you failed and start selling it
and that's the thing what most here do as if their bot would have made them so much money than why don't they do it themself ?
Ans - They usually get stuck at some point , that's the only reason, as people never spoon feed you
Second Suggestion - Try building your own products eg. with Python skills I would have created a scraper which everyone would need here and sold it's license of $20 or $30 why ? Becuase I know the methods work but not worth it of my time - that's the truth
eg. Jvzoo peoples are selling Intro Videos, Android Apps and daily their are new launches , why they are selling ? Quick short income that's the only reason and Yes no doubt their method works but they don't find it valuable for their time
I am not blaming anyone here that peoples method are fake or they don't work , they do work but not as much as their worth
Another Eg. Start selling your services in your country or start selling IM products except IM market just think differently
currently you have just surrounded yourself with some fake lies you told yourself so accept your defeat and move forward by thinking differently now as you need urgent money and that can be arranged anytime just spend $50 on FB ads and target local business persons and just do it and decide to waste $50 before starting
as usually before launching any service I spend $50 randomly , I don't track any ads I just simply do it and think once my $100 is wasted I'll be knowing that the product would work or not
BECAUSE WINNING METHOD ALWAYS SHOW SIGN IN THE STARTING DAYS
Thanks for your sincere advice. It's true that most of the time I don't dare to take some risks when it comes to invest... That's because I'm not in any way sure that I could reach ROI. So I tend to try things that doesn't cost any money or that are very very cheap. Like adquiring an small $12 yearly vpn + cheap .com domain with first year promotions... (lowendtalk, lowendbox, arubacloud, and hostalia promo for domain, take care of price for next years if any get domain there) I also have some credit in digitalocean that I think I'll use to test deployment on real environment.
i dont know how to help you but i fill that your so close to making it
Hahaha, you made me laugh, thank you
And thank you ALL for your kind and sincere words and feedback. It's really appreciated.
Damn... this post is... so BIG
