So where are the Real Money?

I have been promoting different niches over a couple of years. On average i made about 3-4 thousand a month. OK, but not great. Seems like i just do a regular job, nothing really to be proud of. Maybe i can't really scale campaigns to go from $250 a day to $2,500 a day.
Can you suggest a niche, traffic source where at the momonet i can net $1,000 or more per DAY?

Thanks

Adult.

Your question is so broad and so is my answer

Anything, anywhere.

Seriously..... PPV, Media Buys, PPC, Facebook, POF can all be scaled way past 1,000 a day. Get creative and try scaling some of your existing campaigns on to other sources

Bro you've got analysis paralysis lol.

Its EVERYWHERE, stick to 1 source. In any source available today you can make minimum $1000profit/day

Trials, adult, lead gen - what can you say. Start with one source, perfect it, try new niches, perfect it, scale out. Stay focused on one niche at first until you get it making huge money. I thought that the 50k/days were restricted to trials, then I brought adult into EWA and my internal team. Easy money made out there and affiliate marketing is far from dead.

Money is everywhere on the internet. Pick 1 vertical and 1 traffic source. Grind away at it. I would suggest something with a lot of targeting, either PPV, POF, or FB, but NOT all 3.

Generally on close to any scalable traffic source.

Most 'potential' niches are hard to say, although I'd vouch for finance, credit, adult, gambling, pharma, loans, diet. The so called evergreen niches and the ones where the most competition is at obviously.

Being the paid porn in decline, when you say adult do you mean adult webcams, adult dating or what ?

Porn is NOT dead. The usual adult 'webmaster' has zero marketing skills and all they do is grab a pre-made banner from a washed out porn site and put it on a tube site. Then complain why it doesn't convert lol.
The traditional porn industry like we know it is not longer existant. Back then (90's - 2006) you just threw up a gallery on a TGP/MGP and the sales just flew in. No paid traffic at all. At best some adult affiliates bought submit passes for gallery listings or banner spots but thats about it. Most of the guys that banked back then are flipping burgers at mc donalds now.
Take the biggest adult industry forum.. the only guys posting nowadays are a bunch of retards complaining about bad sales and how piracy destroyed their industry.
Luckily those guys are clueless and their opinion means nothing. STM offers a lot of knowledge on general marketing. If you use all the info you get here, you will be able to bank HUGE in adult right now. The flood gates are pretty much open. Still very small competition compared to other niches.

Nowadays the smart guys in adult are banking even more then ever in porn. Dating is still huge, cams and some porn sites ( http://www.sexart.com/ for example..) are killing it right now.

All of this. If you want a method this is mine on mainstream sources:

I cut anything without a click on 1000 impressions
I let anything above 1000 impressions with a 0.25% CTR run and cut the rest. I segement the goods on that creative (heading, pic, CTA) and create 9 variations. I upload, watch and cut anything under 0.35%. Rinse and repeat until you get 1.0% CTRs. Once you have the magic quotient just improve on it but coordinate it with your lander. Improve the CTR on your creatives and landers, then jump your camp to another traffic source. If it doesn't work there and you get 0.15% CTRs on your 1.0% CTRs elsewhere TESTESTEST until it backs out.

Isolate the variables and work it out! It takes money to make money son. It takes effort to make dat money, son.

Just remember: good pic + strong headlines + good CTA = cash in.

Oh and I recommend this blog to give some perspective and insight. Instead of leaning towards those blonde big tittyd women, you vouch for something more non-traditional (gold nuggets here): http://blog.okcupid.com/

it probably is, or close to that. datinggold is awesome. Wonder why the big drop from the 12th until now though?

Curious too, what caused the drops?

Interesting discussion, folks. Thanks for the insight usernameistaken.
