$100/day(on Native Ads) [2nd August 2022]
I joined STM on 2021 but I have been tracking my affiliate marketing journey (on BHW forum) since 2019. And every time I reach a milestone, I write about it. This is like a diary for me, whenever i feel depressed or not getting results, i like to come back and read my journey threads on the forum.

I have been trying native ads since 2020. In the last 2 years, I have launched 30-40 (lead generation/CPS) campaigns but not even a single one was profitable. So, i decided to try my luck with search arbitrage. And luckily within 2 months of doing search arbitrage, I was able to get profitable.
Most people will give up within 1-2 months, but since I have left my job, this is pretty much all I have got, so, quitting was not an option for me
My push campaigns are still doing well. The majority of my monthly income still comes from push traffic. But it’s not possible to scale too much on push traffic, that’s why in the next 6-12 months, I want to move completely from push traffic to native ads.
At my peak, I was able to scale push traffic to $78,000/month and I believe with native ads i can break this record and reach the milestone of $100,000/month.
Also, making money and reaching milestones is not important. I still work 3-4 hours a day and take 1 vacation a month. And I wish to keep it that way. Also, I am in a happier state of mind than I was when I was making upwards of $70k/month.
Also, in my journey threads, I have only shared the good moments. There have been countless bad days, countless offers that didn’t work for me, and countless days when I had negative ROI. So, making money online is not easy, it’s all about persistence.
P.S:- Massive thanks to Daniel, @platinum & @lublub. Without them, all this was not possible. (Especially @platinum and his team.)
Your success is truly inspiring Rhino and I'm VERY happy that you are willing to share it with us and publish these posts here on the forum.
It's extremely important for the new people to see there are some folks who can reach these numbers, so many thanks for that.
You're right about the scaling limits of push traffic, even though 70k+ is not too shabby at all
But yeah, native will be very different, you can spend MUCH more over there than you could ever with PUSH.
Looking forward to your results.
@Rhino Thanks so much for posting about your success! I completely agree with you that it's better to have time to relax and not stress yourself out. I look forward to seeing you hit your new goal - with native traffic it shouldn't be hard at all.
(I miss those virtual zoom sessions - will try to get back to doing them this week. Have been so busy taking care of loved ones that all decided to get into accidents at the same time. All the best!)

This is crazy inspiring @Rhino! Thanks for sharing. So much to learn from your threads. I went thru all the links.
Quick question:
In the first post you say...
It's very inspiring, congratulations on your success @Rhino!
Keep up the great work man!
Focus on scaling whats working, but don't stop testing new stuff . You'd be able to shift beyond your initial goals!
