YA all the way!

Okay, so, I finally listened to people in terms of automation. I bought 5 proxies, 5 new YA accounts and a program that will ask/respond automatically. Now I just have to figure out how to get them to work.

Care to share the program? Is it specific to YA or can it work on Quora as well?

Nice journey. Following along with you on this.

It's Yahoo Account Manager so I believe it's platform-specific, sorry.

Need to work on my method, because what I've been doing hasn't resulted in ANY clicks at all.

Good luck.
I am quite sure you will achieve success if you don't give up .

Thank you. I'm not giving up, just taking time to learn how things are going to go and make adjustments. Some of the mistakes I'm making are embarrassing.

The only time I get links to convert is when I put them in the source. I ask a question that will get a lot of views - like, "What's the best bikini for me?" and then I answer with a link in the source area with another account. Unfortunately, this hasn't resulted in any significant amount of money yet, but the number of clicks per day is climbing.

The separate blogger account - waste of time
The separate hosted blog/URL - waste of time and money
Kindle book - the pre-order had no sales despite clicks, so I scrapped it

Yahoo Account Manager - good investment (especially now that I'm learning how to use it)
Proxies - good investment

Yahoo Accounts - eh. I made a stupid mistake and bought level 1 accounts. I need to go ahead and get Level 3s.

I'm just boosting the lvl 1s on my own. 1/5 accounts at lvl 3 and kicking out links automatically.

I'm trying two different strategies for sharing links -

1) Responding personally to product-relevant YA posts.

2) Automated responses tied to very popular terms.

2/5 at Level 3. Applied to a few CPA networks because I've read a few times now that CPA is the best way to go with YA. Waiting to hear back while I boost my accounts to level 3. A little every day...

it'll take sometime to see result.Goodluck for you journey!

You already got an sale.. Good luck op.

3/5 accounts to Lvl 5. Approval in PeerFly. My tooth broke (on a POTATO CHIP!) yesterday so I haven't been as focused as I'd like, but things are progressing. Appreciate the support.

Wow. I can't believe this post was so long ago. I wound up having a botched root canal and spent a couple weeks in misery followed by a - literally - traumatizing surgical extraction. FLOSS YOUR DAMN TEETH!

So far, my tests show very little activity on automated responses. Nine times out of 10 the responses are immediately removed. I've fiddled with changing the posting frequency, I'm using proxies, etc etc - and maybe I'm doing this wrong - but it hasn't resulted in anything for me but wasted time.

Responding personally is a different story. I created a personality around each YA account I'm using to post with, and I'm staying focused on each account's expertise. Now, there are some categories that already have someone who considers him or herself an expert, so you really have to know you're talking about on those topics. I've had 16 sales so far, and they've all come from this method. I also post questions with one account and post answers with another.

It may just be a personal preference too. I'm not downgrading what others are doing, just sharing what's worked for me so far. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if this has the potential to create an income stream that's worth investing too much time in. It may be that other activities provide more of a payoff for your time. I'm going to give it a few more months to see if sales build up. If not... we'll see what happens then.
