You mean the costs are a joke now but last year they shot up crazy high and then settled? I remember when they spiked over 200% in a short time, made it tough to keep rev stable.

Yeah I've seen this happen. I used cheap proxies once and they were lightning fast at first but then Google caught on quick, and I was toast. Turns out speed isn't everything, it's how you use them. Sometimes slower, legit proxies get better results if you're sneaky

Start with a simple stat: owning a product can take 6-12 months to start seeing rev, while affiliates often hit quicker. More upfront work, but the control is real. If you have a small budget, affiliate's usually less risky to

Diversify is the game, but don't sleep on Amazon, it still pulls decent cr if you know what you're doing. Gotta keep testing, staying sharp on traffic and content.

ever tried starting with just a simple browser push script and building from there? I did that once, kinda like testing waters before diving deep, and it saved me a lot of headache. What's your take on starting small?

honestly been doing this 20 years and honestly, most of the time you waste trying to outsmart proxies is just spin. Use a legit service like Bright Data or Zenscrape, they handle rotation and user agents smoothly so you can focus on the data. Save yourself the headache and just buy the right...

just my 2 cents: if you go crypto, always use a wallet with good security and avoid exchanges for payouts. saves you from potential hacks and lockouts.

yep exactly, templates are dead if you don't personalize. I always tweak mine based on who I'm hitting, makes a huge diff.

Been doing this 3 years now and honestly most folks don't need multi-hop unless they're on some high stakes stuff. For casual browsing, it just adds latency, like 30-50ms usually and doubles your chance of dropouts. If you're not dodging state-level snoops or serious adversaries, overkill is an...

Been doing this 5+ years, and I've found focusing on niche sites that actually share your target audience works better. Don't chase big names all the time, find smaller sites hungry for content

been doing this 3 years and I gotta say CB ain't what it used to be, but it's still solid if u know what ur doing. It's about legit niches and good CRO now, not just spammy promos. U gotta work smarter, not harder.

Careful with thinking email is still a goldmine, most lists are cold now and conversions are slow. I'd suggest trying a tool like Reply.io, it's got decent automations and follow-up sequences. Also experiment with subject lines and offers, small tweaks can bump CR.

Careful with blaming VPN providers without checking your setup. Sometimes it's how you configure the Pi or the VPN client that causes issues, not the service itself. Always review configs and security settings first.

Haha, yeah man, testing is the only real way to know if ur kill switch is tight or just hype. And the hours fiddling? Totally relatable, sometimes it's easier just to trust the ad than do the testing.

Careful with thinking there's some secret sauce. It's about consistently providing real value and being persistent. Pitch stories that actually matter to their audience, not just random stuff. It's a grind, but if you can solve a real problem or tell a story they can't ignore, you'll get on big...
