Some fuckers I'm promoting are bidding on my domain keyword and basically stealing my sign ups to one of their particular sites. So, when people type in my domain name (301 to their site) in google, their fuckin right on top of me shitting on me. I could go on and on and on, find another career before its to late;)
Yes, it's getting harder and harder, and even mainstream affiliate marketing. Google is penalizing sites at will because it wants to hoover up an ever greater share of online retail, and everything can be sold on Amazon now, even sex toys and Amazon only gives you 5% commission or something ridiculous.

To get anywhere in adult affiliate marketing now you need to run tube sites, which are a tremendous hassle. PBNs are dead. The problem with tube sites is that they're leading to countrys getting tougher on age id checks, which will mean it will soon be difficult to even make money from tubes.

I have made some decent money from adult and mainstream marketing but now I need to look at other options. So what kind of 'real' jobs lead naturally from affiliate marketing? I can do SEO obviously but then there are a million Patels in India who can do it for $2 an hour. I have some self-taught programming skills in multiple languages but no actual qualifications or work experience other than coding for my own sites. I have about $100k to invest, perhaps in a new business, but I don't want to risk blowing it all.
