Hey guys!

I am a fairly new member to this forum and have gathered quite a lot from this place here over the time. (Been reading a lot without having a acc).

I have had 300$+ days with CPA Marketing but am now looking for something more longterm since my main method stopped working. I am not giving up on CPA completley, but I just don’t see myself in 10 years still spamming social media platforms.

So main question is: What kind of longterm method should I focus on?

My ideas:
- Blogging
- Learning a Skill and offering it (for example Graphic Designj

I dont have an exact answer to your question but do focus on having multiple income streams or you'll end up asking this same question after 2-3 years even if you go with something else
 
Look for what people hate doing and learn it, then offer the services online. Tip: Use the keyword "I hate" on google choose one among them and be an expert on it, it'll help you. Graphics is nice though to me the niche is saturated.
 
Learn a programming language. Learn to code your own bots for social media sites. Learn how these social media sites operate, by understand how to manipulate their algorithms. Pretty much, wherever there is a demand for something, can YOU provide a quality service, product or information for that?
Focus on having multiple streams of income. Keep doing CPA as it works great with YouTube. Then work on other streams.
 
Learn a bit about organizing, planning, and researching. You'll find you can plan out your income channels by looking at what you know, and what you need to know about all the various platforms you read about here on bhw every day. Then think of duties as a business would. You have a graphics department if you are doing freelance graphics, and studying that, you have a video department for your youtube uploads etc.

If you think out your income channel streams in advance, you can make sure you read the t&c's of them, and take special care using them. Instead of just "how can I make a quick buck for today, forgetting about next month..."

If you've had a bit of success, take some of the amazeballs moments you learned from that and wrap it up in a tighter plan for the future.

Probably some of the best advice I've seen on BHW. I can hear the years of hustle, grind, experience and 'oh shit' moments that have to take place before someone offers an opinion like this :)
 
Probably the latter
Dive into coding instead

Thanks! I do actually have some experience with coding, I guess it would be a good route then:

1. It’s a really good skill and I can also make use of it for other stuff like automation

2. I can open my own Coding Services business or something similar to that

3. If everything fails I still got a good skill that can easily get me a good paying job (although I would prefer having my own business)
 
Blogging? You can do content writing or even content marketing. You can try copywriting if you think of selling.

Coding services? The same hassle as with selling blog management, content marketing and content writing services.

With coding, I would start with B2C things such as templates, plugins. Then I would use my knowledge and try to build a team with capital I would gain by doing the former and skills I learned. Maybe develop something like a UI library.

Content services are doing great in 2 cases:

1. You can deliver mass SEO content with high standards. Here your biggest strength is your maximum output. Your primary weapon are writers or technical expertise (like perfect AI content).

2. You can deliver top notch content for sales, technical and business purposes - you would be able to charge up to $1 per word with a well prepared personal brand.

If everything fails I still got a good skill that can easily get me a good paying job (although I would prefer having my own business)

There is no fail as long as you are alive and your health doesn't break down making you unable to do this. That's how I perceive it.

How can you fail if you deliver a product with the best quality to price ratio on the market? That's just crazy. Figuring that out is not easy and you have to find a very specific niche that will fit your skills and pocket. Yes, pocket cause you need to invest money to code good stuff, think machine learning training or getting designers to have the best work.

If you code something and it doesn't feel like a good product, just tell yourself it was a lesson, a learning process. There's no time wasted learning, so it's win-win situation no matter what happens.

Whenever you can, don't be a one man army. Use as much stuff as you can possibly find on the internet, github and other coding places. Don't assume googling every problem is smart - think. If you think a lot, you will get a sense of gratification. Just don't solve repetitive problems like how to write a loop or a function. There is a ton of unique, tiny problems in coding which will appear on your way.


On the other hand, using libraries, scripts, ideas, solutions, frameworks and things you can adjust is really smart. Sometimes you will find a full solution (like CMS or CRM) that only requires small adjustments to fit your market. Use boilerplates and someone's else code to focus on the core problem in your software.

I interpret your question as what longer-term techniques should I be looking into.

As you probably already know, spamming certain social media platforms can only work for so long.

These platforms change over time, and traffic that used to come easy can vaporize fairly quickly.

I ought to know.

I used to use Yahoo! chatbots to make over $500 a day using CPA programs.

Now that method is dead although some people have adapted it to popular messaging apps.

But I definitely can relate when it comes to CPA traffic drying up.

If you want to get into blogging, I would suggest that you reverse-engineer your competition in a niche.

This would give you a head start so you're not taking blind guesses as to what kind of content would get organic traffic from Google.

Instead, reverse engineering gives you a nice head start.

But you shouldn't stop there!

You should also build a mailing list because at the end of the day if you want to convert visitors to your site, you need to get many bites at the apple.

The problem with this is that the vast majority of people visiting your site from Google search results will only visit your site once.

After that, they're gone forever.

If you put up a newsletter or some sort of email collection system, you get a chance to send your message to those people and possibly get them to come back to your site.

This is how you build brand credibility over time.

Don't expect instant conversions.

It doesn't work that way.
