    in the gambling industry or other markets? would be curious to know what you're doing and how it's working out for you. i dabbled in this around 2013-2015, never really got anything going, only made a few thousand and found the work tedious and boring. so i switched back to client work, which can be fairly boring as well.

    would like to have a few of my own products/sites that generate some cash but just seems so saturated and overwhelming. how did you start?

    I'm focusing on self-help. There's such a wide range of things to cover and angles to take. I'm not ballin outta control or anything, but I'm making steady progress. The work is fairly tedious, but it is what it is. I don't mind client work, but I don't want to be doing it forever.

    Funny story I'm not sure if I've told here, but it was my only attempt at anything in the gambling industry.

    I made a really simple website in 2016 that was focused on shit-talking the NC lottery and funneling people towards signing up with a few US-friendly Realtime Gaming casinos that have online scratch cards. The entire focus was on the online scratch offs having 95%+ payouts while the NC lottery's scratch offs have 50% payouts instead. It was super anti-government, they just want to rip you off, they should call the NC Education Lottery the NC Education Rip Off and all of this type of over-the-top, borderline trolling level shit.

    I used vistaprint to get some cheap business cards that said something like:

    THE NC LOTTERY IS A RIP OFF
    The government is lying to you
    Get 95%+ payouts instead of the 50% payout rip off at xxxxxx.com

    Or something like that, and I'd just leave them in public bathrooms or in random places in Walmart, tables at fast food restaurants, shit like that. I wouldn't make special trips to leave them anywhere, but I'd just leave them wherever I went.

    In my first month, I pulled around $300 profits from the affiliate program I was a part of and another $175 or so the second month. I got tired of carrying the cards around with me and getting weird looks when I'd leave them places, but that was pretty interesting stuff as a proof of concept.

    I thought folks were looking for neat ways to make serious cash online. Since this doesn't seem to be anyone's cup of tea, no sense leaving any breadcrumbs identifying my freaky online alterego.

    I thought it was interesting. I'm not sure it's something I could do.

    I've done similar, primarily with regards to gay + feet. I got too caught up in other things I was doing to devote as much time to it as needed for my existing clients, so I dropped them all.
