Making Money Online - Methods / Info / Help - Need some direction

Hello everyone. I have been reading posts on here for years and only recently signed up to post myself. I know that everyone has the same goal of "I want to make money online" - and thinks it is something that comes free and easy, when in fact it takes work and effort. I have been doing online work here and there including running a small local hosting business and creating websites for around 20+ years - and I myself find it hard even with my knowledge and abilities to make a few dollars online. I know that the people that are making money don't want to share their methods (Which is completely understandable), and when you research online and find something usually a million other people have found it as well. Everything seems so overly saturated including Google Adsense now. I know there are people still doing really good with certain types of affiliate programs, but even with that I have not had much luck at all. I am on a mission to try to start making around $15 to $20 a day steadily. I am willing to put in the effort and work, and would like to have something unique. If there is anyone willing to share a proven method privately I would be willing to offer some stuff in return for the help of someone steering me in the right direction. I just signed up on CrakRevenue and was going to try my hands in the adult affiliate industry - but I am running out of ideas and methods. Seems like I am always behind the curve on what the latest is despite my efforts and research. I would even be willing to help someone else out with what they have going on to help them scale it larger. Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer some direction!

As far as ideas go, I suggest heading over to the Journeys section, seeing what other people are doing, and adding twists to their methods. It really is that simple, especially if you have the funds to get started. Honestly, if you find a method too saturated, then you've gotta get creative with it and add your own twist.

People come to this forum constantly, claiming SEO is dead, or Facebook is dead, or '[insert method/platform] is dead', when in reality, people are still making money with those methods/platforms, but with their own twists. Those that take methods at face value (or rather, in a spoonfed fashion), are going to get exactly what they put into them, out of them.

If you're really cut out for making it on the Internet, then you'll figure it out (it's taken me years to figure it out, but I'm finally starting to get it down). If you're not cut out for making it on the Internet, then you'll just echo the typical "I've tried everything, but it doesn't work", or some other excuse to skirt responsibility for something that boils down to 100% you, your attitude, and your actions.

Just try, try again. Throw enough shit at the wall, and something is bound to stick.
