Okay long story short, I've been earning my money since 2014 by doing CPA and Pay-Per-Install campaigns from different publisher networks (these are the kind of networks that gives you $0.5 USD per install of an app) but now I've bellied down and I haven't thought of saving...
My question, is there anything else I can do to make money online that are somewhat in the grayhat and blackhat area?
While I'm aware that some people might take this post negatively and trash it because it doesn't affect them, I still have faith and is looking for some thoughtful advice or information that can get along way.
Hello dude! Hope you are doing okay. Before I worked with crypto, blockchain and DeFi, I'm also doing CPA campaigns as well (incentivized market) before calling it quit and focusing on my virtual assistant career.
I've been there like you man. Not once, but many times in my life. I've gone through hell a lot, especially on the worst days of my life and met the rock bottom. I was drowned it debt, and I'm even a victim of phishing scams too (around $2k scammed).
You know what I did? Just like what the final Avengers movie had said,
"Whatever it takes".
I never stop finding whatever work I could find on the internet. I only have $20 left on my wallet that time with no more income source and it was December where we should be spending money for gifts. Whether it be article writing, link building, social media promotion and management, data entry, etc. I never stopped until I've landed one client and gave me advanced payment in order for me to buy Xmas gifts for my loved ones and paying some debts of course.
And on top of that, I have enhanced my skills by doing videos. Until I met crypto and changed my life.
My advice to you. Stop whining that you are broke. I know that this is kind of harsh, but you need to get your butt up and do a "whatever it takes" mindset to land a client or job to support your needs. Learn new skills. That's what I've been doing, and it's all paid off. But I never stop learning some more.
