Hello, I was involved in this at the beginning of the summer, wan2.2 wasn't available yet, and I was doing it either through comfyui runninghub, but there was censorship there and because of that I couldn't generate properly.

Then I decided to switch to renting video cards, which was more expensive because in runninghub I paid $20 for practically unlimited use, and there I paid $0.4 per hour. But that's okay, as if it costs a little. BUT, online GPUs are extremely inconvenient. I mean, you have to download all the models and nodes every time, or rent storage, which also costs money, and write a script so that it automatically loads everything when comfyui starts.

And so, after 5 months, I decided to go back to this and try again. I studied wan2.2 a little and found out that it now requires a lot more resources and one rtx5090 is not enough.



And here I have a question for you, where does everyone generate now? Through comfyui? Or maybe there is a more convenient way, BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT ALSO HAS FULL CONTROL AND CUSTOMIZATION.



And where do you get your graphics cards and how do you configure them? I asked last time and was advised to use various services such as civit.ai and souzi (I don't remember the exact name), but all these services are one-click generation, i.e., you just write a prompt and get a photo or video, without the ability to configure and build your own workflow like comfyui. In addition, I see that a lot of people are going down this path and they are all making money.



Isn't there strong competition and is it possible to make money from this now?

And where do you generate all this?
 
I don't know much about this but I know you can rent hardware from Akash.network

Sincerely,

If you want control and workflow, comfyui locally is the only way I’ve found reliable.

You seem to have been experimenting with various configurations. Indeed, wan2.2 has become more demanding; unless you're heavily optimizing, a single 5090 now struggles. The majority of users who still desire complete control are sticking with ComfyUI locally or renting GPUs from Paperspace, Vast.ai, or RunPod (because they allow you to run custom workflows and preload models).

Some use InvokeAI or ComfyUI on Hugging Face Spaces with persistent storage for simpler but still customizable options. Regarding revenue generation, while there is fierce competition, specialized high-quality work (such as customized workflows, stylized outputs, or workflow automation services) can still be distinguished.
 
ComfyUI/local setups offer full control but need effort. Cloud GPUs help scale but cost more. One 4090 isn’t enough for heavy models. Competition is tough, but unique workflows still pay.
 
ComfyUI is probably the absolute best way to do it.
There are a few good sites that offer decent results but in the long run thats always less customizable, more expensive and lower quality than just learnign how to do it yourself.
 
Most serious creators I’ve seen now use ComfyUI locally or on rented GPUs, since it gives full workflow control, unlike one-click platforms though costs and setup can be a barrier
 
Many creatives blend local control with cloud power using local rigs for fine-tuning and cloud rentals to handle bulk tasks. Finding a niche or unique approach still opens doors despite rising competition.

Yeah, totally get what you mean - comfyui is great for control, but setup can be a pain. Some people now use local setups with multiple GPUs or services like Vast.ai or RunPod to get full customization without constant re-downloads. If you’re doing it for profit, focus on unique workflows or niche styles - that’s where most creators still stand out despite the competition.
 
Hello BHW,

I'm sharing a breakdown of a successful, zero-cost lead-generation strategy I’ve been implementing for loan and finance offers in Nigeria (GEO focus). The method is built on simplicity, consistency, and leveraging highly active local platforms.

The Offer

I focused on personal loan sign-up campaigns sourced from a respected finance affiliate network. The goal is low-friction conversion: an application submission or an app download. Though the payout per lead is small, the potential for cumulative earnings is high given the volume of demand.

Traffic Strategy: Leveraging Free Channels
I completely bypassed paid advertising to prove the method's viability using entirely organic sources:

• WhatsApp: Utilizing Status and high-traffic local groups due to their high engagement rates in Nigeria.
• Facebook Groups: Actively participating in and posting to relevant local loan and finance communities.
• Quora: Providing helpful answers to highly searched Nigerian queries regarding quick loans, payday cash, and financial assistance.

Optimized Landing Page (Bridging the Gap)

To maximize conversion and bypass link-blocking algorithms, a simple bridge page was crucial. I built a quick, single-page site using Google Sites with the following structure:

• High-Converting Headline: "Need a Quick Loan in Nigeria? Get Instant Approval Today."
• Value Proposition: Clear, concise bullet points focusing on speed and ease (e.g., fast approval, no collateral).
• Clear CTA: A button directing users straight to the CPA loan offer.

Results & Actionable Takeaways
Consistent daily action (a few posts/answers per day) has resulted in a steady stream of verifiable sign-ups. The initial results confirm the method is highly viable and scalable using this framework.
My Key Takeaways for this GEO:

1. Direct Links Fail: Always use a simple landing page to protect your link and improve conversion rates.
2. High Demand = High Conversion: The persistent need for quick capital in Nigeria makes loan/finance a high-converting niche.
3. Free Traffic is Profitable: Consistency on platforms like WhatsApp and Quora delivers a steady, zero-cost flow of leads.
You can see the structure of the simple bridge page I'm using here:

I welcome any suggestions from the community on techniques to scale this free traffic model further!
HI, thanks a lot, Can you share the bridge about your link loan and finance offers in Nigeria?
