Sup everyone?
I'm an Incent CPA savvy and was making bank on CPALead back in 2011, I even remember when I first saw AffiliateFix when it was still a regular vBulletin forum (if I'm not mistaken, the owner was a part of our mini-community on CPALead chat).
Anyway, I've moved from CPALead to other companies and managed to make as much as $50k/day with Incent CPA (mostly Giftcards).
Some screenshots (I really like posting them, it proves that we all can):
Then when Facebook became so strict - I've started building pages and purchasing some from people who didn't realize the potential.
So 2012-late 2015 were awesome because I've been making around $20k-$30k per month with my pages and networks like Diply.
Most of the money got invested into ambitious projects like PublishEfficient and MightyClickers. Both of them were shut down and the staff was fired because one day Facebook has decided to block my whole pages network and I was left with zero budget for life (not to talk about investments).
So a year ago my life turned from awesome to a freaking nightmare, thinking what can I do to make some money to pay for rent and buy food.
I was always the person who said that making money is easy, and never understood whining people, always promoted entrepreneurship as the ultimate way and described this path as easy as long as you really want it to become reality.
Heck I was wrong... I've done so many mistakes (which I will describe below) and "God"/"Universe"/"Life" KO'd me so hard that I'm barely standing on feet now.
Some major mistakes I've made for people who are currently banking to take into serious consideration:
1) CHILLING: When you have enough, don't let it deceive you. Seriously, making $50k per month can be a bit overwhelming in terms of self-discipline and motivation. You can feel that your hunger is just not there, that you don't dedicate enough time to your business, starting to think that your workers will do the job for you, THEY WON'T!
I was always the guy who wants to eat the world and be a Billion Dollar Monster but for some reason being just a bit richer than most of the people around me was feeling so great and the Illusion of "I'm rich now, I can do the f*** I want, money will work for me now" was huge. Even if you're making more than your whole neighbourhood together, as long as you're not on a $5M mark you can't let yourself stop because if you do, a day will come and you'll be here writing a sad introduction post just like me, or in the best case you'll just sit on your $1m-$4m your whole life (no fancy Bugatti bro/sis).
2) DUMB INVESTMENTS: Well, if you look on the projects I've worked on, on my great days, you can think that they're not dumb at all (I agree), so what I mean by saying Dumb Investments and why are they DUMB? Because there are literally 100's of calculations and considerations before you start working on a serious and ambitious project which I unfortunately didn't' make (and you should). Some of them are:
A) What will be the cost? Instantly multiply your calculation by 3.
B) Will you have enough money to sustain life and move forward if it fails?
C) Is your current revenue stream dependant on someone else? (Facebook, Google, Apple, etc..) This means that if you are using 10's of Facebook accounts to push traffic with FB Ads and want to invest this money into something big - You'd better stop, because if Facebook applies an update tomorrow and you can't run those accounts anymore, you will be left with a half-project and no money.
D) If you are not a multi-Millionaire yet (or got $1m-$2m), will this project become profitable after a month? a year? 3 years? When you're not a rich-rich person you should only Invest in short-term projects which will become profitable for you after a max of 3 month (call-centers, simple SaaS, small marketing agency etc). This is the only way to build an empire, building small and expanding. DON'T START WITH AMBITIOUS, MAKE IT AMBITIOUS OVER TIME.
3) LACK OF EDUCATION: Now this one I totally hate. I hate education. My early-life success made me a self-confident maniac. I believed that no one can teach me how to do sh*t. I'm the boss of my life (and like 15 other lives) at 21-years old. A success story.
Heck I was wrong.. Even when you're on the top of the pyramid -> KEEP LEARNING. An example where I could use education is my office, I had 15 people working for me and instead of being there supervising everything the whole day I was showing up for a hour (I'M THE BIG BOSS) and going to a restaurant (lol).
This was partially because I've lacked some self-discipline but mostly because I really thought that this is the right way to do biz. My team was a total mess, everyone were doing something random, I had no idea how to build a team that ROCKS and when someone experienced tried to teach me how to organize the workspace so it will operate 300% better I was refusing to hear at all costs.
Aight guys and girls, I have so much more to say but I don't want this post to become a wiki so ill stop here.
I'm on the start line again, traded my bimmer for a mazda and truly believe that this time I will make it big.
A year full of depressions is over, going to start from scratch, but this time I will make it different, and if you find anything of this related to you I suggest you to do the same.
Currently I'm on Facebook Ads, some Media buying.
Promoting mostly Binary and Forex.
I will be glad to talk to anyone in need of some motivation or help, and will be more than happy to build partnerships and to receive some help from others.
