My path to enlightenment (...And $$$)

Day 10: Seems like my daily follow limits are pretty high now.

Think I can finally get truly started on all of them.

But...

I think I'm going to abandon the porn reupp method.

I'm seeing difficulty profiting off this method lately, and in general; it seems like time better spent on developing another niche twitter account. I will keep it in mind and continue thinking up ways to optimize it though. I also would rather keep things grey/whitehat for fear of losing my AW affiliation.

Twitter Twists:

-I don't think I need to worry about DMCA or impersonation reports anymore. Found out AWempire allows the use of their models gallery to promote the site. Now I just need to find captions for those specific pics, and spread them out but it's just different. Not really harder.

-There was a high rate of followers who messaged me, didn't get messaged back, then unfollowed. So I decided to at least come clean(ish) with them. For the gays it's easy. I can be honest and tell them I'm not them. I have an interesting, simple backstory (that isn't untrue on the guy account unless I lie about being gay) to warm them up to me.

I applied that to the girl accounts, but the guys are more aggressive and harass me for my pics often. May try to find another story/method, but for now this is what I do.

Instead of funneling them to my site though, I just ask them to retweet my promotional tweet. This puts the idea of going to my site in their head, but doesn't demand they actually leave the site so they're less adverse to the idea. And retweeting is free, so they're more likely to give me somethin good.

It doesn't take more than maybe 3 mins per person, and I'm noticing a higher rate of RT, likes, and hopefully conversion rates. Which is what I want.

-Expanding on this, I made my profiles more open to chatting/dms. I expect this to make my profiles both look more genuine, and hopefully cultivate even more quality followers.

-I don't add profiles without bios, avatars, and I focus on smaller accounts to follow copy. (<2000) The more popular accounts have a lot of accounts similar to me, or just bots and plants in general. You only have so many follows per day, so I like to make them count. (Especially easy with gays since they tend to immerse themselves into the culture, and imo have been much easier to deal with.)

-I've increased my content output per day. I use 20 generic posts initially which I will schedule RTs to avoid annoying my followers by posting them again.

4-6 Of those generics per day
2 new posts WITH unique captions/text per day (new content to appeal to followers who turned RTs off)
3 Text posts (Funny, inspirational, scraped from other accounts to make account seem more personable)
1 Funny pic + context (same reason as above, but only 1 since that's NOT what the account is about)
2 Posts promoting the AWempire affiliate program. (Why not?)

MAYBE 2 Topical posts per day using the generic photos. Like "Quit worrying about #Trump or #Hillary and come hang with US!" and "Waiting for the new transformers movie? Come take your mind off HERE!"

But I'm having trouble keeping them neutral and getting enough content. Will have to think long and hard per week. If I do it, it'll be implemented NEXT. Not this week... Not enough followers to worry about it yet.

Progress:

Now that I can follow about 1000 per day on more accounts, this is the first day it looks like I'll hit 100 follows in one day for other accounts! That's a nice chunky number i hope transfers to my other accounts. I haven't implemented the new posting habits on all my accounts yet, just three. These are the ones with the highest followback rate. Hovering around 1/5 followback within the day. (Hard to gauge cross-day.)

Stats:
Cumulative followers: 1k~ 600 On main. 200 on two others(100~ today each!). Sub-100 on the rest. *These accounts are younger and can't follow mine as much.
AW Hits today:
Whitelabel: 40~Unique. 120~Raw.
Revshare Links (Abandoned): 10~Unique 40~Raw.

Still no money. But if this scales up, and I get this activity from my other accounts I think I could be hitting 1-3k raw by the end of the month PER DAY. At least, if I understand the scaling properly?

Day 11: Overestimated how much work I could do with the accounts now. Most still have pretty strict follow limits, and I still got lots of free time with the posts still scheduled...

COULD go into porn reupping but I think I found a pretty meaty niche to go into dropshipping with. I won't say what it is, but I REALLY wish I started it just a few weeks ago due to a certain event...

Anyhow, the shopify shop is up and ready to go but I'm trying to squeeze as many products into it as I can. It's annoying cause Aliexpress vendors call this a bunch of different things, mislabel, and whatnot. Generally I go on ebay and try to backtrack to find it.

I got about 12 different products on there. (Well, more like 50 but only 12 different whole categories) I've read I should hit 30, but I think I'll make my goal 20 and make up the last ten with variants.

I mainly like this method because it doesn't require ebay. I lost my sellers account some years ago. Not for ripping anyone off, I just kept getting 3-ratings on shipping for being a bit slow. I was still in high school so it couldn't be helped... I like the shopify model a lot though.

Feels nice to diversify. I REALLY wish I started this back in Jan. I had ALLLLL year >.<

If I don't make $700~ By the end of the month, I'm going to have to take some part-time jobs. I'm well aware that's likely my reality, but I still want to get as much work done as I can in the time I have left.

*Potential stuff: I read that Norway/Sweden spends the most on Porn per clicks. I'm pretty familiar with a Swedish girl and she isn't squeamish about porn at all (she draws it for a living) so I'm curious if I can get some cheap/free translations to venture into that domain. Though I'm not sure how popular twitter is in sweden to begin with?

*I picked the WORST week to contact those content brothers. They put out a mass tweet about how they have non-stop work from last to this weekend. I think I'll attend their event on this saturday since it's close to me this time.

Maybe you should look into automating it. Seems there's some potential to that method.

Click to expand...

Haha, yea. I'm redoing everything, got the Oberlon app to automate things. MUCH better. But can't promote it just yet... Had to redo everything. Also researching the cheapest sources/combos.

Day 12: Seems like I can follow about 1k per account now. I might hit about 1k cumulative followers per day!

I am noticing my captioned pics test WAY better than generic. Think next week I'll try to crank out more once I have more followers. May switch to 4 captions 2 generic for a healthier looking account. I'm getting the hang of captions now, and can probably reuse them down the line. (Monthly rotation I'm thinking)

I also tend to do "LIVE NOW" posts every few hours for each account. I cap the models and promote their room. I suspect this can generate about 5 clicks per post within the day. I also try to interact with recent followers a bit on each account at this time.

Tonight, since my followers will be reaching new heights on my other accounts... So I'll be scheduling much more unique content for each. Will finish looking into shopify on my downtime.

I'm afraid I'm going to crash soon. Nearly every waking moment the past 11 days has been at my desk, in front of my laptop working on this. I have a tendency of burning out, but I have no time to rest!

Still feel confident I can do this, but would like ONE more potential venture. Rule of threes and all that. (Porn reupping isn't looking good. Even with all my twists)

Day 12: Sick maybe, slept about 12 hours and was still tired... There's been a cold going through the house, so that sucks, but feeling better now.

Still no word from those content producing brothers. Also thought up EVEN MORE ideas to run by them. I think they'll really like them, but they are a bit minimalist so I'm afraid of making my ideas seeming too grand or sneaky. Not gonna depend on it, anyhow but I will definitely attend their saturday event. Unfortunately, I also have family event on sunday so I doubt I'll get much work done this weekend.

Anywho, twitter accounts are going strong. Some more than others. 1 straggler only able to get 1/10th followback rate, but I kinda expected it from that niche. Also kind of got lazy with the content for it. Another is getting a WHOPPING 1/3rd~ followback rate! Nearly 350 a day these past 2 days! Quickly catching up to my leading account which has been under work about 5 days longer. There's also a TON of activity from followers. About 40 likes and 10 or so RTs per day. Lots of comments and replies.

I think it's largely due to me finding good accounts to follow copy, but I was also happy with the content I produced for it. I actually only created unique content for three accounts so far... >.< Been lazy. Have GOT to get that done today!

Shopify store is mostly good to go. Redid some banners and twisted the model. I advertise it on twitter, and on FB though my FB account got shut down after I got greedy with friend requests Sent my ID but I doubt they'll unlock it.

Still had an admin account for the page though, and used that to spend $10 and boost the post advertising the shop. Hope it works out!

Stats:

6 Hits from porn reupp method... from over 100 uploads. If I bought a program to expedite the process, it might be a good way to pad my numbers but I don't think that's necessary yet.

50~ Uniques from twitter. Though it's really hovering there. I hope it goes up once I start pumping out more content, but it doesn't seem like my higher follow account effects things. Obviously, the uniques largely stem from my NEW followers. So I'll need to work harder to get those, and their clicks if I want to hit that 300~ daily unique number that would get me enough money.

20~ Hits to my shopify shop

Twitter Followers: 2k~

Actually checked the statistics: Followers are more like 3.8k. One account i tried a specific posting pattern on gained 500 followers since yesterday. Replicated it's schedule for a few accounts, but tried to include a new twist and just tired myself out trying to work it. So about half have no unique content right now x.x

It takes about an hour to schedule a week per account, but it's quality content that mines likes/RTs well and is safe since it credits sources. If it translates to hits like I think it should, working 8 Hours a week isn't too bad.

Day 13/14: Wasn't feeling well again, slept like 14 hours... Ugh. Couldn't make that event, but still got that bday to go to. So not expecting much done.

Got my first shopify sale, but my awnetwork stats are dropping hard. Not sure why...

Day 14: Worked out a lovely compromise with my medium restrictions and ease of use.

Essentially, I found out it was actually easier (and more fun) for me to pump out UNIQUE content than mass content at double the rate per day.

Was planning on 10 bulk posts per day (with unique photos) but it was a pain to add the unique photos, and in my testing they engaged worse on average than uniques. I found a service that could AUTOMATICALLY add the pictures, but only 100 across my entire account. BLECH

Since I need to add the unique photos manually anyway, I decided to just do 5 unique posts per day. After doing this, I also discovered 50 posts per week across 8 accounts would've put me WAY past my limit for hootsuite.

25 per week (200 for all) still leaves me with room for the fluffing posts which higher my follower account, as well as some account specific stuff if I want to do it.

I'm now hitting a minimum of 1.5k followers per day. (2k on good days)
Gonna rework the lower rate accounts, if they just hit my next lowest tier of followers I'll be hitting 2k per day!

Hopefully I can look into fiverr once I get my follower accounts up enough.

Mid Day 14 Update:

Day's only half over and I already surpassed my record unique hits! At 100 for today.

Also came to the conclusion that it's silly to make an unconnected shopify store to the niches I'm targeting. Gonna remodel it to be adult oriented after my boost runs out. If I can generate these kind of hits I am for myself, I think it should convert nicely.

STILL no cash from any porn affiliate. Gonna take off my whitelabel and just start putting aff links their whole sites soon. Will diversify later.

Ideally I want:

links for AWnetwork
links for Chaturbate (their camgirl model is slightly different)
links for niche complimenting dating/casual sex
links for my shop

Gonna need to rework the content to frame those better, but it shouldn't be tooooo hard.

Reworked my less popular accounts, one is improving nicely though the other not so much. Though that other one was a bit half-assed cause I ran out of bulk messages.

Great journey with daily updates, will definitely follow

Good luck

Days 15-17

Skipped some updates, but things are pretty much staying the same. Applied for maxbounty, xlov, and crak. Only the former two have accepted me yet.
Would've went straight for crak if I knew how much more optimized they were for adult stuff.

Had a minor scare trying to implement chaturbate links. Twitter flagged them for automated behavior... They only stuffed one, and I switched back to jasmin and it let me post. Not sure why, maybe it's the fact I don't post THE SAME link but instead include tags? OR maybe jasmin is just considered healthier by twitter. I definitely see a LOT of spammy accounts posting their links, but not chaturbate.

My hits are kinda fluctuating, it's a little worrying but my followers are at least growing. Should have 10k by the weekend.

Edit: Another account got flagged for automation... But it just needed my phone.

Crak also accepted me, but I'm having issues logging in... DAMN those offers look good. hope I can use them soon!

Day 18: Reviewed my follow/unfollow habits compared to the input from on here, seems like I might've been a bit greedy?

I aged the accounts first, but I was hitting about 1k follows per account each day. Unfollowing the same days... I used a chrome extension that did it natively, and I did it pretty slow, only once per account. Took about 5-7 hours for all 10 accounts (was semi-auto since I was on the pc anyway)

Since it was imperfect and froze randomly, I thought it would imitate human breaks well enough (Which may be why 2 weeks of doing it has left me okay) but I think I'll try to slow down.

Gonna take a break from follows on all the accounts. Focus more on incorporating hashtags and getting followers more naturally. Gonna work on finding powerful tags for each niche today.

And gauge how I do without follow/unfollowing.

Day 19: The only money I've made so far has been from shopify... It isn't much, and people keep just getting the "free" item and paying for the shipping, but I'm getting converts about 1 per 20 clicks. I've gotten over a thousand clicks for my rev offers... I think I'll shift my focus from that for now.

Pretty much every attack on a niche I made with my account has yielded fruit, I think I'm better suited for shop stuff than porn stuff anyhow...

Didn't do shit this week. Christmas, family crisis, etc. But I think I got a good few twists and ideas I want to implement... Hope they work out!

God I'm lazy haha

Pretty much abandoned the adult niche. Even while only putting minimal effort into advertising my dropshipping site, it's yielded far more profit (though still not that much) The model just seems more likely to convert to me, and I like the freedom of advertising specific products.

I started focusing on youtube. Bypassing copyright issues by monetizing my videos with links to my dropship site, and a product relevant to the video. (No adense or even a partnership necessary)

Had an old account with about 130 subscribers. Unfortunately, the interests didn't line up as well as I hoped and I've only LOST subscribers so far... From my new videos, I only have about 800 views over a weeks worth of work. But, once I scale up the numbers I think I'll be good.

My theory is that by more prominently advertising my site with tangentially related videos, I can make far more per view than I would playing around adsense.

If a view is considered an impression for my ad, and 50 impressions lead to a click (Average rage, seems about right for me too). Roughly every 40 clicks convert to a sale for my shop.

That means I get 1 sale per 2000 views. Which, will usually only be the minimum $3 profit. $3 Is more or the less the same as adsense. That means 10k views per day (across all videos) = A rough minimum of $30 per day by my estimates.

However, the best content is often not adsense friendly. So to be even safer, I'd need about 20k views per day monetizing the videos myself to hit that $30 figure. Needing 10k more views isn't that bad considering I can use copywrited content. Enabling more, and more quality videos. I plan to cycle the generic big hitters. Compilations, animals, overlays, fights, etc. And then more niche stuff to advertise on reddit, fb groups, etc. All on the same channel just so if one takes off particularly well I can focus on that genre. (Will also try supplementing with other channels)

That $30 per day figure also assumes the MINIMUM profit from every sale. I have a model in place to incentivize more spending, so it could easily hit $35-$45+ a day.

I ALSO applied for an ad slot on this site I frequent. They only started accepting ads in the last year, and only one per page (right at the top) The slots are cheap, and there aren't many competing ads yet. Like 4 others, none of which really touch on my niche.

They promise 800k impressions per month at $20 a month (Can go up more but I'm just gonna try first) It sounds a bit too good to be true, since these impressions definitely are majorly my demographic. They're taking a bit long to answer, I hope my submitted ad is okay. They seem pretty picky about what ads they accept.

I love how much details you are adding in your update.
I shall come here again and read more.

Good luck.

Applied for three different ad slots. Each with a unique issue WOW

First is owned and screened by a very lazy team. They just haven't gotten to me yet
Another has an issue with their ad upload service
And final one just denied me (Not quite relevant to their users. They were nice and personable about it)

If I could just get in one, I'm fairly confident in my ability to generate profit.

Just gonna focus on media for now.

Geez, it's nice that it isn't really by fault of my own. But time is really running out so these issues with my potential advertising partners are hurting. Also TOTALLY forgot about my stuff with those content creating brothers. I really wanted to generate some success on my own before coming to them, but with time running out I think I'll just give it a shot...

Youtube stuff has been kinda discouraging. Very few views, pretty much none generated inhouse but rather my spreading the links to other sites. My subscribers are PLUMMETING, I wasn't too attached to them to begin with though. Same deal with my dropshipping visitors, only getting them by clever personal advertising. Not from my youtube videos...

I think I developed a better formula for uploading. Essentially mass scraping / tweaking youtube content at once. Uploading on a schedule to mix sources and avoid arousing suspicion, and use the time saved to make less, but quality oc content to spread to other sites.

I'm thinking per day: 2 Scraped 1 OC. Then lower the pace after getting a sizable amount of subscribers so as not to annoy them.

I'm really confident in my shops business model, I really think if I could just get enough people to see it, it would convert nicely. But the main places I want to advertise are being weird

Considering putting up flyers and junk locally.

They finally got back to me! They greenlit me and once they confirm the payment I'm good to go. Got a real good feeling about this
