Hello BHW's users
So after scanning the BHW forum, me and my partner - adflymoney decided to start this very first journey.
After trying almost every method exists online, from Instagram CPA, to Shopify dropshipping.. The only important thing we realized from trying these methods is that they are too populated and big bucks can't be found there, atleast not for us.

After losing a lot of money trying all of these methods we realized that we have to find some white-hat unique "method" to start generating passive income.

More background
At the past, we used to own a few decent legit Instagram pages with 20k~30k followers each, we used to monetize it with our viral articles website with adsense ads within it.
We used to make around the 500$ / month up until adsense started lowering their paying rates per click which brought the monthly payouts down to ~50$, it was a hard time for us so we started thinking outside the box and came up with the idea of an app with viral content for our country.

The method - Developing a social app from scratch.
The plan - At first, I had to learn Java coding language from 0 to start developing the app itself, after a few really, really long days (I spent the whole day studying) I started coding the app.
It took me about a month or so, had a lot of breakdowns, but I've managed to successfully complete the app development by myself! Well atleast the beta stage of the app.
The app is plain simple - A local viral content app.
Once I finished the basic app development, I realized that I must add a push notifications function into it otherwise people won't bother to come back that much. (We tried it without the push notifications, wasn't successful as we thought it would be)
Right now I'm trying to figure it out, On how to add those push notifications to our app.

After completing the development side including the push notifications, we're planning on advertising it using blackhat & whitehat tools such as Jarvee (as IG bot), FB & IG advertisements, Maybe also try google ads etc.

Also, I forgot to mention that we placed Admob ads inside our app (important part haha), so this is the main income source we will be getting from the app.

Future goals - Our main goal is to become a social "brand", style of 9gag but in a very unique way.
- Complete developing the push notification feature.
- Add loads of viral content to the app.
- Start advertising full power.
- Start gaining money, we don't expect to gain a lot, but anything more than 0$ will keep us motivated!
- Adding new features to the app.
- Expanding the brand to a website.
- More to come

Final notes - We will be trying to update every few days with the progress to keep ourselves motivated and maybe one of you as well.
If you have any questions about the development, Android or anything that related to our journey - feel free to ask!


One last thing, if you have any tips on how to develop the push notifications, we could use that help of yours! Contact me here or PM, Thanks a lot :)

Good luck to us!

Wish you good luck. Hope you will get back to the track as fast as possible.
 
All the best in your Journey.
I'll follow it closely since I'm very attracted to learn more on "How-To Monetize Viral Type Of Content"
Something I've always wanted to try.
 
Maybe push notifications when a percentage of the people in an area "like" a photo/video

I'm sorry but I didn't quiet understand your meanings.

Hey mate where you Came from?
My nationality is Israel.
 
UPDATE :
30/07/18

I've managed to successfully add the notifications system up and running!
Using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) I've managed to make it work.
The only issue right now is the design of the notifications, doesn't look too good, it has it's default design.
The problem is when the app in the foreground, it shows the designed notification by me, but when the app is on the background / killed it shows the default styling of the notification which is fugly.
Gonna work to change that & make the notifications functional much better!
