******A WORD FROM ANOTHER 7 FIGURE MARKETER IN AM ********
This is my first post on this forum. First of all would like to say what a great place with tons of great info.
I am also at a crossroads in my business, I feel like I could be the one writing this as it's exactly my experience in AM.
I definitely haven't done the volume that limitup has done but am approaching seven figures since 2013. I also focus on paid traffic arbitrage. I started in dating, moved on to nutra, and then began doing high volume toolbar installs.
My best month so far was in Aug where I netted about $80k. At the time it felt great, but then I was at the mercy of the network and advertisers and other issues (offer conversions dropped, updates on how google handled app installs, payout drops).
So even with making all this money it didn't feel good and here's why. At the end of the day when you are promoting someone else's offers especially with an affiliate network, if I'm not working or an advertiser decides to kick me off the offer my business literally evaporates over night. Like MJ says, this violates CONTROL, I really have none.
Now my business is back to not doing much (october revenues of about $50k and netting about $20k, I am feeling stuck and not knowing where to go from here. I am a little tired of AM, the emotional roller coaster of crushing it one day and the next making nothing can you hard on you.
It's an interesting time when you don't really have to work anymore, but you still really want to build wealth so you never have to work again. I could quit working for years and live the same lifestyle I have now but the fear of not having enough creeps in.
I remember in December 2013 I was setting my goals for the upcoming year. My first goal was to make $100 per day.
The reason I came here was to get new ideas for businesses, opportunities etc. Right now I have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in a checking account not knowing what to do with it earning nothing in interest and losing money inflation adjusted. I am not saying this to brag but to paint a clear picture of my situation. I know that I have to put this money to use. My risk tolerance is pretty low. I have been looking at real estate in Mexico and other business opportunities but can't seem to pull the trigger on anything. It's hard to take a 10% cash on cash return on a piece of property in Mexico when you are used to doubling your money everyday in AM.
Thanks again for the awesome thread
