What was/is your golden goose ? (7)
Share as much as you can of course, but tell us what was your gold period where you crushed competition, what were you doing back then, how much profit etc
I'm gonna start this topic saying a while ago I've found I could rank in yahoo pretty much anything.
That seo method was so good, I've had 9 out of first 10 positions for most of the heavy keywords, like "penis enlargement". I was making 10 new sites/day and within a week they were ranking in 1st page of yahoo serps.
Lasted about 8-9 months and during this time I've been able to collect ~ $250k net profit.
My only regret is thinking it will last forever, I would have made 100x times more sites and make profit of millions . I'm still nostalgic and pissed of myself, hoping I will find something similar in the future and now I am prepared for a full blast.
Looks like nobody wants to share, so let me start :-)
For me it was mostly app installs (utilities and ecommerce apps that not many people pushed that time - everyone focused on utilities) and then later mobile subscription offers for a very long time.
The turnaround was in the 7 figures range, very good times.
Come on guys, share something too! :-)
Up until a few weeks ago you could reset the password and log into accounts on a major tracking platform.
Lols indeed, never personally took advantage
I had several great phases in the AM biz 
First one was running toplists ... so a top 20/50/100 list of sites in many niches, all based on traffic trading ... with 1 banner at the top. A bit of SE traffic and it got the ball rolling .. easy lower xx.xxx profits per month
Then we started an adult review site, using subdomains for branded KW at the time when google listened to this approach ... all organic traffic ... $50k per month pure profit with very low work ... great times too
The I switched to media buying, app installs accounted for my first x.xxx profit days, then I made solid amounts with mobile subscriptions ... great times again.
I just wish the periods lasted longer, I'm getting tired of having to adapt every few years But such is AM, better than having a boss ...
Mylikes ..... They arent even a business anymore but I was their top advert for two years.
Thank You mylikes

Worked once a month for about 1-2 hours, then it was running on it´s own.
Also had a great time with some shady stuff, had each day about $3-$3.5 ad spend that returned on average about $1k/day.
Lasted for little bit more than 1/2 year but to be honest, I was also happy when it stopped because it was really pretty bad stuff.
