Been gone a long time... Made a lot of money in cpa (400k) feels like its been a lifetime ago ( 5-6 years lol )

I left CPA because it became a total joke and totally scamy. I haven't done much online since. Because ive been gone so long it would be nice to know what some ideas are. Brain storm a little. Lots of post about starting with 100 bucks or something... what about this...I have 5k-10k max. I would really appreciate some ideas!

Thank you very much!!!

    Do what you have done before but better.

    There are many ways to make money online, you need to focus on something you are passionate about.
    Create a product? blog? tutorial?

    Maybe teach other people how you made 400k?

    If your goal is to make money, I would suggest you continue doing what you were in CPA. It sounds like you were pretty successful. Just because the industry as a whole is getting "scammy" it doesn't mean you have to be that way.

    If your #1 goal is not necessarily the money, why don't you create a course or book or membership site on "how to do CPA the right way!" Use your experience, knowledge, and wisdom in the field to help others become successful. I know there is a lot of interest in the subject.

    Create a product showing people how you made 400k and sell that...

    that's probably the best thing to do, just make sure what you were doing 5-6 years ago is still relevant.

      This makes the most sense. You might want to do some tests and see what is working now and release a product. I'm sure you have tons of proof which will help you sell your product.

    How can people who have never made $400k help YOU when you have done it before? Stick to what you know and you can make good money again.

    Invest into proven paid traffic sources. This is easy. Once you find a good number of proven sites, invest more and more - then put on autopilot. You probably wouldn't have to do free marketing ever again if your advertising costs and sales break even fast. What niche are you into?

    Well why not create your own products if you don't like doing CPA. Then you can control and operate your business 100% like you want to.

    If you were doing what I think you were I got a pretty good idea why you don't do it anymore. Not to forget the marketing doing it kind of broke the system themselves.

    I would start slow. Create a blog. Create some quality free content that funnels to a paid product of your own. Many people would pay to pick your brain if you were as successful as you claim and can prove it.

    There are still honest CPA offers and ways to promote it, even if things changed a lot... but are you trying to avoid it this time?

    PPV is still very solid. Lead Impact, Traffic Vance 50 on Red, and a new BETA PPV network I am consulting for.

    PM and I would be happy to discuss with you. .Right now: 3MM users less than 50 advertisers. Virgin territory.

      Uh,,, I don't see why you're asking what to invest 4-5k in if you've made 400k in the past...the others that have done it as well know what I mean..

      If you were doing major BH cpa, then go white, or just go back to black and buy some link spamming programs I guess?

      your call dude. again, if you made 400k in 2009-2010 in one year? two years? you know enough...but in all reality...I doubt you banked that kind of cash flow if you're asking this question...unless you really stopped because you developed a drug problem? idk...this post seems like a major setup for a WSO full of rehashed b.s. to me.

      no offense.

    You def came to the right place for advice. I am new to the forum and I have tremendous respect for this community and their commitment to leveraging the internet to create their dream lifestyle.

    My advice would be to first identify your outcome. You can't go somewhere, without first knowing where somewhere is.

    Still in what you do which is making you money. Create a product about it. Make sure everything is up to date. Thats it. 400k is a success and be proud of it.

    Unless you really hate cpa, I think you would be foolish to not continue making money with it.

    Develop a course "How I made $400,000 with CPA" and sell it

    Become an angel investor. There's a lot of people with good ideas who don't have the cash to implement them.
