In this video, I break down how Marco Verch is making $$$ from automated image generation & flickr.

For each violation, you may have to pay up to $1,000. Thousands of people have gotten legal letters.

Do you want to know how to repeat this method for profit, or how to protect yourself from it? Watch my video presentation 100% free.


  • How to avoid getting sued by Marco.
  • How to make bank like Marco.
  • How to take the Marco Method to the next level.

Wow. This is a great idea!!

Astounding.

EDIT: It would be great if you would have also covered how to react when sued by marco. Should we pay, ignore, remove the image, just add the correct copyright notice? What is your opinion on this.

Thank you @JackTheBlack . The reason I didn't give advice on how to respond to getting sued is because I feel like my video will already antagonize certain people sufficiently, plus I'm not a lawyer.

Pixsy claims can definitely escalate in lawsuits (by the photographer), judgments, and lead to collection agencies and bad credit if you ignore it. Prevention is the best advice I can give. That's why the video spends half the time explaining how the copyright works before going into the method. If you don't know how to use an image, then don't use someone else's image.

Here a few discussion threads about it:

Thank you for such a detailed guide!
One thing I did not quite understand...
What do you exactly scrape? I mean... If you scrape news sites for example, you scrape the photos and headlines?
How do you make it look the way Marco did it (automatically) let's say the scrabble picture for example.

You post your pictures under CC license on Flickr
Connect your Flickr account to Pixsy (a service that will go after people who violate the terms of the CC license $$$)

And he describes how to make this process totally automatic.

I asked a similar question about Envato elements, and this is not even cracked items but legit downloads given to many people, but "Festinger" is yet to reply.

License terms are here: https://elements.envato.com/license-terms

Valid usage requires registration in each instance, so Envato can crack down on use violating their commercial license any time they please.

By accessing their content and publishing it without a license, you expose yourself to legal action.
 
For someone with 0 coding experience, how difficult would it be to create the scripts needed for this growth hack? Also, how expensive would it be to get it done on Fiveer or here? Sorry; but i honestly dont know

It's a great way to break into coding if you have no experience! You may pick up some skills.
Here are some tutorials:
