Hi Anon,
I was inspired by reading about https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/journey-from-100-day-to-200-day-passive-income-using-free-traffic.1312902/ and making a commitment to get to 200$/day with bots on socialmedia.
I have until 31st July as this will be my last day at my job as a Java Developer.

I am not yet sure if I will code the bots myself or use existing solutions.
I am starting now by reading lucky.sparks recommended book "The Millionaire Fastlane".

Let's get this started!
 
I feel passive-aggressive pressure to follow this journey. :D

jk. :D

java is great indeed, but if it can be useful for your ventures depends on what you will try to automate.

node.js usually is go-to tool for this tbh, great library support on github.

anyhow, good luck, you will succeed if you will focus on one thing only and master it till perfection.
 
You can make the bots yourself and earn passive income by charging people monthly license. Take advantage with your awesome skillset ;).
 
Thanks Lucky.sparks for your response!

I have over 10 years of professional developer experience, Java is just one of my skills. For me any coding language is just a tool, and I switch them as needed.

Salarys in Europe are terrible though. Also I want to move to passive income ;)
 
After doing some research on bots, I think I will use Selenium in combination with cheap smartphones(instead of the 4g proxies).
Still need to test with my phone, and if it works I will purchase a load of cheap second hand phones.

This should also take care of the cpu bottlenecks lucky.sparks ran into.

It really depends on what network you are targeting, selenium is more easily to be detected than puppeteer with applied stealth plugin.

Second hand phones are awesome because your fingerprints will be in place and no need to worry about them.

The downside is that bottlenecks will be there and probably a lot higher than I had, but at the same time - it really depends on how many automation instances you want to run at the same time.
 
Following this. When I read @lucky.sparks journey I made myself a text document and copy-pasted there all the info I found while reading the threads.

I know it's messy and not organized but it's a condensed version of the journey with all useless posts filtered out.
It works well as a reference I guess to find the info you need fast:
Prepaid sim cards top-ups can be automated.

How do you find social media sites? Google and then audit with ahrefs & similarweb, both great tools.

If you keep getting banned/blocked (even with manual operation), make sure your fingerprints arent leaking.

How to make 4g proxies:
If you use search, you can dig up some threads that have basic tutorials.
Idea is simple - you need a server, USB modems and a script or software to manage them.
I run out of USB hubs which means I can't use all USB modems that I have, last one I purchased - was complete shit, it could handle only 6 modems at once from 16 ports
available. so be aware of that when choosing externally powered usb hubs, even ones that claim that they have all active ports - simply do not have them.
Now I ordered an expensive industrial grade 20 port USB hub. Hope that it will work.
Just got my hands on a new batch, +20 modems. Will take some time to flash them and add to array, but when its done - in total of 40 modems will be working.
Probably need to start to think about opening 4g proxy business, lol.
4G proxies are expensive. That is why i decided to make them myself.

New idea emerged - I built a scraper that aggregates all public proxies, using bhw forum threads and some other paid sources.
Now I have an unlimited supply of low quality, but working ipv4 proxies for free that I do not care if they get banned.

Google "mobile app testing", checkout stuff like appium, there are others too.

Point 2 and 3 seem interesting, not sure about the worth of point 1:
1. Hiding selenium: https://piprogramming.org/articles/...Bot-Automation-from-Detection-0000000017.html
2. What you need as a browser is chromium (not chrome!). Plenty of premade builds on a dedicated https://chromium.woolyss.com/.
3. Spoofing fingerprints. Make sure you ‘pass’ (your results must be equal to results of some reference real device) each checkpoint on this http://browserleaks.com. The best way to achieve this is to search for chrome extensions that spoof each of these things and modify them making your own extension (basic .js knowledge).
There are many other things to be aware of, but mentioned ones sometimes can change the game

Using Selenium is a big red flag.
Puppeteer is better but don't know how much.

Setup now using microservices architecture, so I can probably outsource adding new traffic channels and do it discreetly, without giving access to understanding what exactly I'm doing and any other important know-hows.

Tech stack:
- Node.js for asynchronous tasks
- Python for machine learning, some network fingerprinting spoofing
- PHP for the control panel and simple tasks

Suggested topics:
- asynchronous and synchronous programming
- websockets, socket.io
- image manipulation methods
- bot detection methods

Using funnel to offer.
Offer type PPS or even better find offers that pay both PPL and PPS.

Some patterns emerged looking at conversions, some countries only convert in a specific time frame every day.
I will add wristwatches and alarm clocks to my bots, so they know when to work and when to sleep so when US is sleeping, they allocate only 30% of resources to US/CA but AU/UK/NZ and rest or EU gets more attention in the meantime.

For the commenting warming sessions, have you gotten around playing and implementing with GPT? Mind sharing your insights about this and how you might approach using this tech?
For comments better go with manual, premade texts, spinned content.
When using puppeteer, make sure you use puppeteer-extra stealth plugin.

Doing all of the following:
- follow/unfollow to create a large following then market a product
- direct message users
- comment on popular content and push it up

You mentioned that you populate your accounts with 3000 cookies, I assume those are 3rd party cookies from reCaptcha?
Google tracking cookies, yes.

I think the trick is that with one Gmail you can create several YT channels, as well as twitter accounts. for IG accounts, i dont have any idea!
9k yt channels at 50 per gmail, would be 450 gmail accounts, which is cheap as I can get 1 sim card for $0.90 and 1 sim card can be used for several gmail accounts (i think 3-5), so the set up is VERY NICE!
Yes, you are correct, but I use third-party SMS services, so I have to invest a bit. I age my cookies tho, so I get fewer verifications than usually would. Gmail is hard, but for my setup it makes sense to invest in verifications anyways.

Wow, that's a lot, so it's possible to create all those accounts without phone verification challenges if you use clean enough IPs with zero fingerprint browser/requests?
Yes, age your cookies and warm up your accounts very slowly and the rate of verifications will be low or close to zero.
To create accounts you can find software in google, just search "pva creator". Or you can hire someone to do a small script that automates creation.

Yes, it actually was big and with chrome profiles, there is a problem - you cant transfer them to another machine, they get encrypted against your hardware, at least I haven't found an option to do so. What I decided to do is to export all cookies(including storage, websql, etc), save them and then load them up when session needs to be restarted.

When you say you warm your cookies how do you do it?
I light up a new browser profile, confirm google's tos and then try to act as human as possible with their tracking cookie enabled. Then I just extract those cookies and use them as I want. They can be even used to bypass recaptcha, a good cookie is considered when google gives you easiest challenge possible(checkbox) and your recaptcha score is 0.9.
For cookies warmup Puppeteer is more than enough.

Have you seen the comment "Bitcoin is the future, Investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise" being spammed in youtube videos?
Yes, thats one of ways how to get leads to contact you. You just have to be creative about it.
Leads contact you not the other way around is an interesting concept.

Every social network, platform or website will require a different setup.
Youtube can be done with selenium and python.
For twitter - it's puppeteer and node.
For some mobile apps - it can be just reverse engineering of their mobile API and HTTP requests.

You can make your own IPV6 proxies and then use Capmonster.
Collect captcha data to train own AI later.

I coded bot, but can't find good offers which converts. CPA offers doesn't convert for me. Is there any Network which have signup or email submit offers but not Adult or dating ones.

but perhaps problem is in your bot and traffic quality or sales message

No, I don't think problem is with bot as I'm getting traffic to my links, maybe the problem is with sales message and also because I didn't target audience who might convert. I used CPA but got low conversion rate.

Let's not trash op's thread, if you want, create your own, tag me and we can discuss there, as without knowing your traffic and CR - I cant suggest anything. :)
