How many of you are University graduates?

I got the impression Matt was the more youthful of the two - maybe he just weathered better

Ha, he is. But only by a couple of years. I didn’t go straight from undergrad to the masters.

I hold a degree in pharmacology, and my current role as a marketing manager marks my initial foray into this industry. While I initially lacked direct experience in this field, I have been actively learning and adapting by engaging with colleagues, reading extensively on relevant forums, and incorporating the knowledge I've gained from these sources into my daily work. I'm actually very grateful to everyone here because of you guys I learned so many things in this industry. thank you for always commenting on my post and pointing out all the bad things that needs to be change in order for us to grow better.

Anyway, online gambling is a niche I can put my interests into and that is more sustainable than temporary internet related windfall income I had in the past.

Gambling was a thing before bitcoin, not after. Every program now steals and there are too many people trying to scrap something.

Just get used to normal work, it seems you skipped that one.

More important than education for me was thee manual work. I was cleaning condos overnight in my teens. I was a delivery boy on university. Those things were more valuable than all education. Because the work has to hurt.

With so many Masters degree holders, who replied in this thread, I wonder if there are any Ivy Leaguers on this forum.

Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia?

Or perhaps Ivy league grads are too upper class to dabble in gambling affiliate marketing.

Micheal (owner of this forum) is an MIT graduate in Mathematics, I believe.

Oh 100%.

I was also a delivery driver, both pizza hut and I did 50,000 miles with lyft. I am not adverse to working, though I feel much better about working on building something I own, pizza hut and lyft don't pay dividends now just because I put in the work before with them then. I maxed out my 12 hour daily on the clock limit with lyft many of times, and my 60 hour week maxes, and took out the trash and cleaned the dishes at pizza hut until smelling like an old pizza box enough times to get it. Now is time to invest in myself.

Though speaking of bitcoin, thank god for bitcoin, it provides more opportunities for online gambling regardless of whether the price of bitcoin goes up or down really doesn't, as gamblers are not investors just looking for a way to deposit(in my days of an online gambler, before using btc, gambling with credit card blows, fees on fees and the bank will call every time and flag transactions, gambling online sucks without crypto honestly), they'll use it whether the price is skyrocketing or crashing. I'm surprised the greater crypto community rarely mentions online gambling, online gambling is by far the largest mainstream industry which actually has significant regular use of bitcoin/crypto in everyday payments, other industries it's more of a gimmick or solely an investment.

The crypto so-called-community has many fragmented people. Each one has its own agenda. BTC lefists, BTC libertarians, BTC pragmaics, BTC maxis, BTC bankers, BTC forkers like Roger Ver... then ETH maxis, smartcontract maxis, stablecoin pragmatics... and zillion types of shitcoiners.

Every sub-group living in their own universe that almost totally ignores the reality. Gambling on sports or casinos is perceived as dirty; gambling on stocks is called investing. In reality it is he same, but society is such...

Now is time to invest in myself.

I do not think that you ever not invested in yourself.

I am just trying to point out that with vision of luxury vacations that can not be afforded you will always lose the focus. But you do what you do.

I can buy whatever I want, but I am driving truck through snowstorms in mountains on dirt roads. Because I do not want to get weak (and all drivers quit and told me that I am crazy).

Chasing something desperately is asking for more desperation. I really is game over. No just in online gambling. Maybe there are some ways how to make money online for lone wolf. But affiliate marketing is really, really bad.

You have to put 100x more effort to make 10x less than 15 years ago.

Ok well I'm going to take my chances.

I've done well in other affiliate niches as a lone wolf before, I see other niches outside of gambling that'd be easier with more low hanging fruit though this is a bigger niche. Affiliate marketing in general was easier 15 years ago no doubt, thats when I first got into it(not gambling niche), there's still money, just not as much low hanging fruit.

Also separately I made a bit of a name for myself in the altcoin space and traveled around the world, met people like john mcafee when he was alive, was interesting. If I had been monetizing my travels with a website instead of just shilling a coin(which did very well), I think I would have targeted the right audience with deep crypto pockets. I know how to rebuild a community in that space on social media, so I'm going to put the effort in to make income off this website and do that again in that space but also promote my site, even if it's a few years out in viability. I may do streaming as well. I have a long term strategy that may or may not work for this site, but alas I am a gambler by nature and I see enough potential reward.

With the right prompt formula with mix of multi part prompts and feeding it information to use, it's possible to write 20,000 words per day with ai solo if you do it right, needs some editing and 15 prompts per article combined and still take 10 hours with formatting, but that was just not practical in the past. Despite the changes in market conditions, this is a time I think people who use softwares the right way can get ahead before the market becomes more saturated. In terms of competition, in regards to appearance and navigation and general content the only thing that seperates me from the medium smaller but successful portals is a lot of effort.

I had two FTDs this past week, 1 FTD two days in a row, one above $250. 7 or 8 sign ups so far 3 FTDs, most sign ups this month, and my site barely gets any traffic still as it's less than three months old(500 index pages though some are not very valuable, still a work in progress), I think it'll be worth it. For my little trickle of traffic currently, I'm happy with those results, and I see how a moderate amount of traffic could be good money. Those FTDs could be a fluke, maybe, but maybe not.

If I keep putting the work in 7 days a week and make no progress in a years time, maybe I'll switch. I'm patient.

Anyway, speaking of driving in snow, I was doing lyft last winter 7 days a week in colorado last winter, from denver all the way up to the skii areas, a lot of drivers wont do it in the middle of a snow storm in the middle of the night, was good money though lord knows that is not what I want to do forever.

I was driving he truck with broken cooling system through mountains for 19 hours straight. On dirt road, frozen, with stones falling around. Uphill was possible just 3 km/h. At 4 km/h it started to overheat. Without driving licence, but that is fine, because there was no one car, so also not police. Heating of course was not working, so I had to use AC to un-fog the windshield. I am sick but alive.

Your pattern looks promising, but... if someone will pay you RS. And they will not. That is he problem.

Meeting a brave, but still sleazy sh1tcoin scammer does not mean really anything. If you really have he name in sh1tcoin business, then in makes sense to bet on new posthalving.

Normal gambling is dead. But whatever. You are stubborn, but it is your way to keep making the same mistakes, so I should not interfere with it. It feels like teenage girl blog to talk about some dreams or plans. I do not believe ha with his mindset is possible to make even the stupid money.

Good luck.

I hear ya barkin big dawg

You're free to feel however you like

I hope you're right in regards to the early pattern, it does look promising, and much higher conversion rate than I expect so far, but still just dealing with small numbers so hard to know for sure. I wish I knew for sure if the sign ups were from the very few search visitors or the limited unpaid marketing I've done elsewhere.

I wouldn't call it dreams, more or less a pragmatic strategy based on my past experiences and knowledge base. Outside of seo, social and streaming are tried and true. If it works it works, if it doesn't, I will have at least tried. Focusing on the fundamentals first and will see if I can make more progress.

As for "sh1tcoins" I got a 7 foot diagonal hand painted painting in my apartment with all sorts of altcoins on it, the crypto space treated me well. As far as I can see crypto is also the lifeblood of the modern gambling space which I think is lovely. I wont even dare to call the blessed magic internet monies sh1tcoins. Those communities keep the money a flowin.

As far as affiliate programs, I knew the risks going into this. I drove over 1,000 signups to HitBTC crypto exchange on revshare in 2017(from posting on social media, about sh1tcoins, like a "little girl" lol), they wound up paying none of their affiliates, including me. I've had a few bad experiences in that regard. I also have cashed in big with other niches and sites that did pay, and most have in other niches.

I have been paid by a few dozen affiliate programs in my lifetime, so I'm not too worried about finding at least some that are reliable, it just takes some. Also, in my teens and my early 20s and late 20s for that matter, a lot of the affiliate marketing strategies I attempted failed, that's online marketing for ya, the nature of the beast. I made great money on some, but most attempts were fails, but the fails were worth the paydays. I don't think I have unrealistic expectations, I'm not expecting to get rich quick.

One affiliate program I made an FTD with this month, I had a personal referral to that caisno the other year as it was a casino I played on, a bar tender who blew all his pay on slots for about 6 months straight, and they paid me everytime for him, so I'm not worried about them paying me. They also paid me as a player with cashouts, albeit a few days late usually. The bigger FTD was part of that network of .AG sites, and I'm not worried that theyll pay my little starting 20% RS (before casino fees). And I'll send more players if I can to any affiliate program, if one doesn't pay, oh well, will focus on others. Gotta have diversified offerings regardless.
