Yeah now Affiliate Marketing, I used to have a Drop Shipping site that sold bongs and pipes but I got in a lot of trouble shipping to some states and had to shut down, thank God I had an LLC.

if you don't believe you wont succeed, money dont come easy you gotta put in the hours to see the flowers my friend.
you clearly dont have a great understanding of how things work im surprised so many people have actually taken the time to reply to you.
your clearly thinking someones answer is somehow gonna give you a overnight method on banking easy cash.
this forum is full of resourceful information and a place that can inform inspire and share ideas with quiet tech savvy people.

at the end of the day make something resourceful or be or value to other people whether through offered services or blogging etc
work on getting more traffic and look at doing things for the long run !!!!!!! be of value to other people !!!!!!!!!

once your at that stage you wont be complaining that nothing is working !!!!!!!!!

There are hundreds of methods in this forum but none of them work that well. People say that you should change the methods a bit and add your own twists to it. You should get creative with journeys posted in this forum or so. You should stop reading and start trying. The thing is almost none of those journeys reach a happy end. I've tried various methods anyway but I've discovered that CPA and earning from ads isn't worth it at all. There's no such thing as spoon-feeding in giving advice. Knowledge without action doesn't have value. I'm not asking for money nor your secrets. Is there a method that you tried which made you money no matter how small it is? If so how much have you made from it?

1st week dropshipping net profit around 400$
It's not the conventional way so dont expect anything if you dropship from aliexpress
 
Build an attractive website, grab local customers (for a specific niche) generate a huge amount of traffic and add the local buyers related to that niche and charge them on the basis of your traffic
Or just sell that website to any businessman
 
I've been a member (read: lurker) for many years, looked at all the same methods you did with about the same success. I don't think I made a single dollar drop-shipping, lost my bottom dollar ad buying, didn't do to well with Clickbank either. Tried a few of the quicker methods, but to be honest they felt a bit flaky. I completely get where you're coming from. With that said, it's all in your head and your mindset. For whatever reason the dots aren't connecting, and that's alright. I got out of the mindset myself when I stopped focusing on A.) Money B.) Methods and C.) What other people are doing. I don't really watch porn (*much) so I really had no business uploading and spamming, etc. I never really liked the thought of it. I had, however, worked for years as a backup musician. I can edit audio in my sleep. It just took me figuring out what talents I have and how to monetize it. I thought audio books, recording royalty free tunes, etc but ultimately ended up simply creating content videos on YT since it wasn't much of a leap and it's quite fun once you get the hang of it. Now when I go back to the methods I can actually pull a little bit of knowledge from them without even coming close to emulating them, or as they say, I have my own twist I guess. In the end it boils down to picking one single solid idea, trying ONLY that for as long as you can withstand (plus an extra bit) and seeing what went wrong and what went right. Rinse, repeat. It's not a guarantee for success but it's definitely a paved road to where you're aiming.
 
Using what I've learned from some of the SEO on this forum, Media Buying and taking what I've learned to a new level, I've earned well over seven figures over the years.

Don't think it will come easily. You need to network, learn, make mistakes and improve what you're doing. Eventually you will make it.
 
Well, as a beginner with 0 experience and bad English Understanding I tried all method but without result,
so I have made 150 $ from BTC faucet+PTC Russian+doing small tasks like Subscribing to Yt channel and IG etc...
And I 'm looking forward to making 1$ daily Insha Allah
 
I see that this thread is a little bit dated now, but I want to ask OP a question.

ekmll said:
What's your reasoning? I've tried at least ten with my own twists but I'm still making this thread. Rather than lol'ing why don't you share which methods have you tried? You would understand what I'm talking about even if you tried one.

So you say that you tried 10 methods and none of them worked ???
That's insane.
I think you should try just one method and do everything to make money happen for at least 3 months to say if it works or not.
The issue here is, it's like you have just half assed the thing and you get frustrated in about few days or weeks and you pass onto another method.
It's called "shiny object syndrome" and it is ruining million people's life.
It doesn't work like that.

I can tell you're a kid... a rude one at that. But I remember when I first came to BHW and I didnt know much either.
My best advice to you is stop looking for "methods" and start thinking about building businesses.

So try this:
Go and find something you know about (maybe video games and related accessories)
  • create a wordpress website with yoast SEO installed
  • get some general niche articles written or write them yourself (500-1000 words)
  • find a bunch of products and create a section on your site called the top 50-100 products for gamers (these can be a mix of affiliate and dropship products)
  • write product descriptions and reviews (jack from amazon or wherever and re-write them) put your affiliate links all throughout the posts and a big ass button at the end that says BUY NOW
  • start a fb page and yt channel in the niche
  • join as many related niche groups as you can
  • on your fb page post a catchy pix with a link to each product page on your website
  • share those posts in the groups
  • find viral videos in the niche from yt or twitch
  • post viral vids on your fb page and share to the groups
  • when people like the post, invite them to like your page
  • re-upload the same vids to yt with a link to your website in the description
  • have an email optin form on your site that says get secret discount codes and game hacks sent right to your inbox
  • Set your email auto-responder to send out a pitch for 1 product everyday for 50 - 100 days (or until they buy, die or unsubscribe)
  • if you can find good discounts...send emails with fake coupon codes (look on retailmenot to figure out what legit ones look like)
  • say something like "normally the discount for this product is 15% off but if you click here and use this coupon code at checkout today you will get 60% OFF...HURRY NOW BECAUSE THIS IS A LIMITED USE OFFER"
  • when the code doesnt work... most will buy anyway
  • if anyone responds that the code dIdint work...just tell them that it already expired and they were too slow

Do this shit for 3 months then come back and let us know how it works out for you. I guarantee you will bank. I have done this in many niches.

Thanks for the spoonfeed. I'm following it to the letter. I've created a new website and put up 9 x 2000 words posts with affiliate links. It's now time to join Facebook groups. Perhaps you could look at my site (PMd url). Again, I appreciate the easy guide
 
many methods are working here. you just need to analize to get the recipe of that method. dont be lazy try to do some twist on it and u will get what you are finding for. tried and tested on my side.

Here's the secret: you won't make fast money, even in IM.
To make money you need to be persistent and work hard consistently every day for months to start seeing the returns.
You can make fast money with some twists, but it doesn't apply to newbies in IM. It can only be done if you know what you're doing.

I've made money with:
  • Affiliate websites
  • Affiliate marketing as a whole (various methods - YT, Reddit, Quora, Twitter, FB, etc)
  • Creating my own eBooks
  • Creating a membership site

I don't know what kind of answer you're actually looking for, but here's my answer. Warning: you're going to find it disappointing if you're the sort of person who has tried 50 methods in 4 months and is ready to give up.

No "method" has worked for me. I create Amazon affiliate sites. I make about $8k/month from them now.

I started my first Amazon site 4 years ago. I worked on it every day for about 2 years. I don't mean most days, or every week day. I mean every. fucking. day. Sundays? Yes. Christmas? Yes. New Year's? You got it. I still have that site. In those 2 years it made around $0 (it lost money because of hosting costs). In the two years since then it has also made around $0 also. I still work on it sometimes, but have given up on it ever making money.

But, while I was doing that, I ran across some other ideas for Amazon sites and started those. One of them really took off. I spent a full year working on it everyday and earning nothing before it started doing well. After a full year of working on it and making $0 it suddenly started ranking for some good keywords and shot up to around $4.5k/month over the next year. It still makes around that much.

I also started some other sites. None of them made any money at all in the first 6 months, and none more than $100/month until a full year of work had gone into them. Some of those stumble along making $100 - $500 per month now after a couple of years of work.

Trying to speed up the process of creating an Amazon site, about 2.5 years ago I invested around $5k in an existing site that was on a great domain but was really poorly optimized and making very little money. I was paying for the domain because I thought I could rank much faster with that. Again, I spent a year working on it before it started making any money, despite the awesome link profile. I had to create large amounts of awesome content because the links alone weren't enough to rank for anything very profitable for me. Those links together with awesome content does rank though, but it took a long time before it started ranking and making money.

I'm sure there are people who can do this way more efficiently than I do, but that's my experience. I'm a full-time phd student, so a side income of $8k/month matters to me.

So, long story short. There is no fucking method that is going to make you money. You're going to make money yourself by working on your strategy everyday. For me that means creating awesome sites with awesome content and then emailing thousands of people trying to get links. Other people probably go about it differently. But the method is that you keep fucking working on shit til you get it right. What else do you want people to tell you?

This is a prime example of persistence and consistency. Hard work pays off in the long-term.

Most of the methods here on BHW are mostly towards promoting spam like create hundreds of fake accounts on Instagram and porn websites so I would not recommend going into these methods. What i recommend is going into genuine services like freelancing (article writing , graphic design or web development) or affiliate marketing or running own websites . I have earned a good amount of money in web development. One of my own project which I developed for the client is bringing 3000$ a month. Surely it takes time and skill set but its much better to create several fake accounts. I tried Instagram and CPA marketing but failed.

This is a great advice. It will pay off in the long-term. All the black-hat methods will die out eventually, and you'll lose your earnings. Happened to me several times. Better do white hat. It's more work, but you won't lose your money.

I just kind of stuck it out with one website. Was in the absolute perfect niche as I am extremely vested in it. Spent 2 and a half years building the site up making next to nothing, but now we will more than likely top 6 figures from the site in 2019. It's now a full time job for me. Started out as a blog, and now we are a fully fledged membership site selling memberships for $200 a year. Include affiliate and advertising income in there, and it is going quite well.

We are in the finance niche. It is tough as hell to rank, and it's even tougher to build your reputation and steal any sort of traffic from the mega giants out there. But, it's a little less competition up here in Canada so we were able to take advantage of that. Grew our newsletter list from literally next to nothing at the start of 2018 to almost 5 figures as of right now. And I will tell you this, feed your newsletter top of the line quality content, and they will reward you with money down the line.

Along with the revenue from my site, I've picked up a few SEO clients, all of whom pay me $500+ a month to work on their websites for probably 10-15 hours.

Good job! Another example of persistence.

It really is about finding a twist. Also, many people invest a great deal of time and money before they "strike gold".

It's hard to find or think of twists when you're a newbie. But I totally agree. I always try to find an angle on any method. It has paid off several times.
