The topic is long and extensive.
I hope that this information will be useful to at least 1 target person out of 10. The others are too stupid and lazy to get any sense out of it.
In general, I was prompted to write this post by the situation that is happening in the market, in general. And in the market, the percentage of banal buyers' deception has long been off the charts beyond all possible limits. Moreover, if earlier it was somehow hidden, now they do not even hide it. This happens, of course, due to the absolute stupidity of the "population" of thematic forums.
Therefore, we will analyze each step with you, so that later you just stupidly send sellers who will pour shit into your ears and drive nonsense. Knowledge is power!
Statistics stubbornly show that the most (and only!) successful people in any field are those who are the smartest, most efficient and have secret information. The rest (about 95%) are the usual fodder base for various kinds of commercial services. In our case, these are people who can only stupidly poke at the keys, whine, complain and shit everywhere where possible and impossible.
If you want to understand the issue and achieve financial success, then I advise you to listen to my advice.
Paragraph zero. Zero point of reference. Let's start with preparation.
First of all, you will need:
Understanding the basics of the material part
Understanding that you will have to go through a path in which there will be failures. THEY WILL BE. There are no exceptions. And there will always be difficulties. There are no eternal work topics.
Hard work and perseverance.
First. The material part.
This is what respected schoolchildren, students and adults hate most of all. Theory. It would seem, why the hell do you need a theory? "I'm a bare practitioner, screw the theory" proudly declare 9 out of 10 people.
Theoretical base is needed everywhere. Generally everywhere. You don't need to understand everything from start to finish, but you must know the basics. At a minimum, this applies to:
~ Minimal understanding of the basics of server administration
~ Understanding the basic protocols of work
~ Basic knowledge of html|css if you work with landings.
~ Understanding the basics of cryptography.
~ The ability to spoofer data that comes/goes in your work.
Why is this necessary? Otherwise, you will be wandering in complete darkness, not even understanding what you are doing at all. The success of the work depends, first of all, on UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIONS YOU ARE PERFORMING. And secondly, HOW EXACTLY THIS ACTION FUNCTIONS.
What kind of financial success can we even talk about then?
Secondly. Difficulties.
Let's imagine that the path from the beginning of assembling your money conveyor consists of 10 steps. And each step has 3-4 substeps. In total, there are 40 cells that should fire with a chance of "success".
If you do not believe in Higher Magic, but then you understand that there will be problems somewhere. Moreover, most likely they will be at every step. You need to get used to this prose of life.
But I will tell you this, it is absolutely normal. If you are afraid of difficulties and deep down you hope that you will escape from all this evil, then it is better not to even start. Any difficulty can be solved. Any at all, you just need to be able to find an approach. When you learn, success will not keep you waiting.
Third. Hard work and persistence.
Everything is simple here. If you are not ready to work hard 12 hours a day or more at first, you will not see success. You simply will not have enough time to set everything up and launch it. Everything changes, everything is in motion. This topic is not for lovers of calm, laminar flows. You can argue, of course, but you need to prove something to yourself, not to other people.
Paragraph one. Visual diagram of work.
It would seem to be a boring and useless topic, but judging by my personal communication, at least half does not represent the whole picture, in general and as a whole! So let's think about it visually. And so. Let's present this in the form of a simple mathematical formula:
Traffic + software = material for work = profit
In short, we have traffic, which ultimately leads to the fact that you will have installations of your exe file on users' computers (Installs). From the user's computer, you can get useful material, which you turn into money.
Now let's expand the function:
Traffic consists of the traffic itself and the method of converting traffic into installs. In our case, this is a banal download and installation of a file from the site. We will not consider bundles due to their death.
Software consists of selecting software and configuring it.
Material for work consists of logs, access to a PC/phone, data interception.
Profit consists of active and passive
Now let's put it all together:
(Traffic channel + conversion site) + configured software = Logs + possible access to PC/phone + keylogger (if needed) = Active and passive income.
A conversion site consists of the site itself, tested and tuned for maximum conversion and a well-thought-out legend/theme. We'll also add analytics (TDS system). We'll also add anti-cloaking. We'll also add good crypt. We'll also add hosting for sites and possible hosting for your software. More on that below. Our function swells and becomes visually indigestible. But this is just the base!
So the function comes to the following form:
(Traffic channel + (legend + maximum conversion site + TDS system + anti-cloaking + file crypt)) + configured software + configured hosting = Logs (+ possible access to PC/phone) + keylogger (if needed) = Logs + possible access to PC/phone + keylogger (if needed) = Active and passive income.
Now the question. How many people even think about this, how much do they need for work? Very few ...
Every! Every step requires elaboration! Every! And detailed, thoughtful and attentive. If one of the factors is equal to zero, then your entire multiplication will be equal to zero. Life, indeed.
Well, now I'll finish it off for those who still have rose-colored glasses. No one will assemble this scheme for you. So, let's sit down at Google and start to thoughtfully study what and how works and is arranged in this world.
Second paragraph. Software for work.
First, let's look at the software for work itself. Because, based on your capabilities (financial and intellectual), you need to start from this.
For beginners (and not only) - the best option is a stealer. Such crap that comes from a computer (in general) and browsers (in particular) everything that is poorly nailed down. Passwords, addresses, photos, data, cookies, etc. In general, a nasty thing for evil uncles
Again, I will not give any links. I will tell you how to choose the best option for yourself, what to pay attention to and how not to get screwed with a purchase.
So, there are many stealers on the market. From well-known to not so well-known. The main habitat is exploit and vvh. There are even more private ones. I would like to point out that in this case, "private" does not mean "super-quality". Usually, it's the other way around. Conventionally, all stealers can be divided into two groups:
A stealer that is located on third-party servers.
A stealer that you host on your own.
Attention! The following is a purely personal opinion. Otherwise, stealer sellers will come and throw shit at me.
Let's take one simple thought into account right away. Everything they write will be half true at best. Open a forum and you'll see hundreds of topics where everything is so delicious and rosy. Just buy, launch and the cash flow will flow to you. No problems, no pitfalls, no scams and teasing. There is nothing. Only concentrated joy from work and a swelling wallet from bitcoins.
Everyone scams! Absolutely everyone! You can avoid this only by understanding the material part and knowing what exactly you need and why!
A stealer that is located on third-party servers.
What is good about stealers, which, roughly speaking, are issued on a turnkey basis? On the one hand, everything looks kosher in the luxury style. For a certain amount per month, you get software that is completely ready for work. You could say turnkey. Crypto and fight! That's where the pros end. Let's consider the cons.
First of all, you need to understand that ALL your logs and data will be located on servers that you do not have access to. Of course, you will read a lot of assurances about “servers located on Mars/Jupiter/Moon/in the depths of a black hole” and also “no logging”, as well as “crystal clear work with clients”, etc.
We think it is logical - you trust your money and security to a third-party service? Especially in black business. Even so - can you trust someone with your data simply on your word of honor? In an area where the very word “trust” looks somehow pathetic, funny and ... ordered or something. You can trust if you can check. And if you can't check, then ....
If you still trust, then the issue is resolved. If not, then we move on to the second option.
A stealer that you host.
In this case, all your data will be on your server. The disadvantages are again in plain sight - you will have to tinker with the settings yourself. And with the installation too. And you will have to provide basic technical support yourself if you do not want to waste a ton of time. In general, this is not even a disadvantage. For someone, on the contrary, it is a big plus.
And now a CRITICALLY IMPORTANT remark, which everyone usually gives a big fat dick to.
You need to check the stealer. Check it yourself! Do not trust anyone, any checkers, testers, etc. Take a pack of grandfathers/virtual machines with information on the disk and different browsers (if the grandfather is naked - fill it yourself). From XP to Windows 10, versions x86/x64. Disable all antiviruses and run the build. The pass should be 100% and only like this! If somewhere something does not work, feel free to write to the developer and clarify this point. They will assure you that you are an idiot and everything works for them. Don't believe it, you are not an idiot. On the contrary, you have become smarter and have become an inconvenient client.
You can't even imagine how poorly most stealers are implemented. Losses reach 50%!!! And I'm not exaggerating.
Paragraph three. Hosting.
The most painful topic, alas and ah. And for a beginner, it is also the most difficult. Therefore, let's look into it carefully. No matter how much you strive for autonomy and minimal dependence on third-party servers, you will have to work with hosters constantly. And these radishes are taking full advantage of this.
So, when choosing a server, you must immediately understand what exactly you need. And for what. And what are the requirements. For a stealer, you need a regular VDS of average power. 2-4 cores, 4-8 gigabytes of RAM, 100 GB SSD are quite good for work.
For VNC, the requirements are an order of magnitude higher and more complex! That's why I won't describe it here, because the topic is not for beginners anymore.
And now a list of the most common scams from the hosting side:
Load quality in general. There is such a parameter as uptime. In short, what percentage of this VDS is in a live state. For a good hosting, this parameter is about 99.5% - 99.9%
Anti-advertisement. For example, fastflux (we'll look at it below) has recently been showing 10-20% uptime at BRAZZERS. I wasn't mistaken. About 80-90% of the time their FF is down! Tech support doesn't acknowledge the problem and stupidly ignores or bans. Read the forums, everything is written there.
Measure UPTIME yourself! Necessary! Mandatory!
Let's count: The stealer has partially failed, uptime is within 90% (for example). You haven't even started working yet, and you've already lost about 15-20% of potential installs. Like the picture?
Channel scam.
It's simple. You take a 1Gb/sec channel. And yours is 2 or 3 times lower (meaning the sum of the incoming + outgoing flow). Tech. Support swears that the channel is dedicated, not shared. And you have a different picture ... Very common. Check. Critical if you need a wide channel for work.
Characteristics scam
It's even simpler. You are promised 32 GB of RAM, but they put 16. Why is this necessary? Because 50% do not even check. Check, they will apologize to you nicely and put the right one.
A scam with the server's abuse resistance.
Well, here there is simply a field for maneuvering. Zeros here and there, assurances here and there. False words and smiles in correspondence. Let's put everything on the shelves. First of all, you need to ask what can be placed on the server. If your stealer can be placed, then this is, first of all, the hosting permission and nothing more, and not resistance to abuse!!! They even fool you with this!
Example: The hosting allows you to place a stealer without any problems, but says that in case of a complaint (abuse) it will be disconnected.
So if you take an abuse-resistant server, then clarify what abuses it supports. The favorite phrase of hosters: "Yes, we are a completely abuse-resistant hosting, but we do not support complaints from ###." If you are not satisfied with this approach, a good analogue would be Fastflux. True, you still have to look for a good one.
A scam with domain abuse resistance.
It's even simpler here - they don't exist. None at all. There are relatively loyal ones. But nothing more. Therefore, you will have to change domains. Sometimes often, sometimes rarely. But get ready for this right away. And install an autochecker that will check whether the domain is alive or not. It won't get any worse.
Example: the domain died during the traffic flood and all the traffic went down the drain. How to avoid this? Read the next article.
Most of the support is very stupid and does not understand the issues at all and in general. It is difficult to use the word "scam" here, but some issues that can be solved by yourself in half an hour can take 1-2 days, if not more. Therefore, again - the skill of basic server administration is very necessary.
Paragraph four. Traffic.
The topic is very extensive and requires a separate large article. The only preface that I want to say right away. There are a LOT of niches where you can find the traffic you need. Off the top of my head, I can name 3-4 with minimal competition. And you don't have to be a rocket scientist to launch a drill there and start developing. You just have to move your ass a little and tighten your mind.
Mini-conclusion
The article was long, so that's all for now. If people are interested, I'll continue.
Please don't bother me with questions in PM, you can ask them right in the topic. I'll try to answer if possible.
You can also tell me what you'd like to learn about first.
Part Two
Long-term success is never fast. Either this way or that, but not both. Business is a marathon.
Before I move on, I'll digress a bit. Do you want me to tell you the conclusions from this whole epic? I work with many people in related fields and the most popular phrases I hear are:
I took regular hosting for 10 bucks. Well, let them ban you, at least it's cheap
There's no money for anything yet, but I did it for free, it's free, I scammed you here, and here I took a hacked version. Total crap, carding is dead, shit doesn't work.
Zero feedback. Total crap traffic. I didn't check it, the software really works, the developer told me so.
I bought a super manual, but it doesn't work at all.
I bought installations, but they're all worked out.
So, people want money. It's logical. People want money without investing anything. It's not logical. People want a lot of money without investing anything and without knowing anything. It's already stupid. Therefore, first of all, we'll have to sort out another issue, which again 99% don't give a damn about.
Paragraph four. Financial literacy.
Actually, why count and predict anything at all? We'll hit, bang, gulp, sip and it will all work out as it should. Right?
The first rule of financial literacy is not to sit on general-purpose forums.
99% of people are not capable of anything. Of the remaining 1%, 99% of people are doing something that is not interesting to you. With the rest, if many random factors coincide, you can do a great job.
Imagine that you have a question that you need an answer to. You go to a forum where noobs, trolls, school kids and a small percentage of smart people are hanging out. Smart people are unlikely to answer you, they have no time, they are lazy, and in principle, it is somehow not convenient to give out useful information. But the rest ... UGH. At the very least, you will get wasted time and a ruined mood. At the most, they will feed you left-wing information.
What to do? Absorb less unnecessary information based on useless emotions and rumors. Form connections, join small target groups / channels / closed forums, communicate with knowledgeable people. The process is not fast, but very effective.
The second rule of financial literacy is to have a reliable, reinforced concrete, titanium-alloy technical base.
If you exchange freedom and prospects for sausage, one day there will be no freedom, no prospects, no sausage.
To my previous post. Always work on a good and reliable hosting. It is not that expensive! This is your base and foundation. Without it, there is no point in moving forward. The logic of "just for now, I'll make a buck and immediately move to a normal one" usually ends with a complete "pfft".
Always check the purchased software for operability! If your purchased software, on the rented hosting, performs its task at least at 4 plus, then you can move on. If not, go back to "step zero" and go through the path again.
The third rule of financial literacy is to have a clear business plan, economic calculations and specific figures.
It is much harder to create real values than their appearance. For the second, you only need a good PR person and a lot of imagination. With the first, everything is usually more complicated - there are numbers.
And this is generally the scourge of today's under-carders. When people ask me for help or advice, I only ask to show financial calculations and a clear action plan. As you can understand, no such person has one in nature.
ALWAYS (like this in caps, yeah) you need to have calculations. Point by point, with feeling, sense and arrangement. Taking into account imaginary and harmful savings (I'll take a cheaper host, cheaper crypto, cheaper traffic) and the necessary savings (I'll take a little more expensive, but I'll save money).
Approximate calculations look like this:
Hosting + software + consumables + crypto + rent of necessary services + current expenses + safety cushion for unforeseen expenses (10-20% of the amount) = N dollars
Then we check with the amount of money in the account. If you fit in, then good. If not, then either think about where you can save adequately, or make up for the missing amount. Starting something with a budget surplus means losing all your money and getting nothing in the end.
The fourth rule of financial literacy is that you can't make candy out of shit.
Miracles happen, but only to other people. Your miracles must be carefully and in advance prepared.
Here again, faith in miracles plays a malicious role. Almost every person without personal experience, waits for "what if it all works out and everything works out." Forums play an important role in this, where there are tons of reviews and stories of people who hop and rake in the dough, without experience, knowledge, understanding, or investment.
Agree, it's a shame? You are so well-read and prepared and have a hole in your pocket from a donut, and someone is making money out of thin air.
That doesn't happen. If in your social circle there are people who know nothing, don’t understand, don’t figure things out, don’t want to learn and generally actively talk nonsense on the topic of “I’m just making money by pressing buttons,” then it’s time for you to change your social circle.
Don't expect miracles.
Don't expect to suddenly get rich with zero investment.
Don't expect to do anything with zero investment.
Don't expect magic.
Don't think that problems and budget sag will resolve themselves.
Always operate with specific numbers and practical results.
Never believe people's words that "I have hop and everything works, and why it doesn't work for you, I don't know."
Success is not an alternative to failure. Success is what comes after a series of failures.
The fifth rule of financial literacy is no paid manuals.
Remember, son, three important rules:
A topic is sold when it doesn't work.
A topic is sold when it's dead and you want to get at least something more from it.
But they jerk off the working scheme until they're blue in the face, ignoring eating, shitting, sleeping and fucking. Without exception.
Paragraph five. Traffic and installs. Myths.
The world is fair. Every consequence has its own cause. Everyone gets exactly what they created the conditions to get.
Traffic is the holy of holies for all carders. Mecca and the Holy Grail. An object of worship, jerking off and countless myths and legends.
A natural, such a fat and tasty topic has attracted a huge number of people from the series "I'll sell you big money for little money, just buy it." And suckers are happy to believe.
So let's analyze the main myths and legends, while thinking about which way to dig and move. I repeat! Don't be stupid, be smart. Don't let different bastards feed at your expense! Read and take note.
Attention! I'm specifically talking about traffic, not ready-made installs. I will give an explanation at the end.
Everything further is my personal opinion based on logic and practical experience. To believe, not to believe, to accept, to use, to operate the received information or not is your personal choice.
Traffic. The main pseudo-myths.
Myth 1. Traffic is 99% of success in business.
Traffic is 30-35% of success in business. And maybe less.
To competently convert traffic into installs (the quantity and quality of installs depend on this), to work out all types of traffic (desktop and mobile), to achieve a high conversion and, finally, to monetize the obtained result to the maximum - this is an even more difficult task than to get traffic.
Myth 2. There is very little good traffic and it is very difficult to get it.
There is a LOT of traffic and getting it is not as difficult as the devil paints about it. You just need to move your head. You do not need to look where there is no what you want to find.
Myth 3. For good money, you can buy quality traffic.
You can't. No one will sell money for money.
Myth 4. There are ready-made solutions for traffic mining.
No. All ready-made solutions are a banal scam for hamsters and nothing more.
Installs. The main pseudo-myths.
Here, everything is even more interesting. If working with naked traffic is relatively rare (because it requires experience and some kind of base for acceptance and processing), then the market for selling installs is the "Great Cycle of Shit in Nature". Want to know why? Read on.
Imagine that you have your own traffic channel, and you get installs from it. Your traffic is private, your own, good, etc. And then you decided, instead of making money on it, to sell it for $1 per install. Or even more fun - to sell ready-made logs, instead of monetizing them yourself.
Can you imagine how many noble Samaritans there are?
Conclusion one. Any service for selling installs/logs uses "public" traffic. Without exception.
Conclusion two. Any service for selling installs/logs is created for the ass-worthiness of not particularly smart hamsters and schoolchildren. Without exception.
Conclusion three. Any sale of traffic/logs implies the fact that selling this log for five kopecks is more profitable than monetizing this log.
Conclusion four. If it is more profitable to sell installs than to monetize them, then the quality of the installs is completely sad.
Conclusion five. You are considered an idiot. Isn't that offensive?
I once calculated, taking into account all the monetization possibilities, how much my install could cost if I wanted to sell it. Crypto, banks, stick, Amazon, shops, accounts, links, etc. The cost of one install with good traffic was about $25-30. Moreover, this is purely desktop traffic. Without fat wires and the like.
The picture looks something like this. Someone took a shit, someone else ate it, digested it, took a shit again. This is recycled shit, someone else ate it and so on in a circle. Sorry for the unpleasant picture, but in fact it is. I do not argue, even picking through shit, you can dig up something relatively edible and useful. But do you need it?
The first final conclusion - any sale of traffic, logs, etc. is a common and simple scam of hamsters who do not understand a damn thing about what they are doing.
The second final conclusion - if you calculate the costs (money + time) and net profit, you will get an amazing picture. Your own traffic (even of poor quality) is many times, if not an order of magnitude, more profitable and advantageous!
Paragraph six. Traffic. Extraction.
The most important remark! In addition to extracting traffic, you also need to be able to competently convert it, process and monetize it to the maximum. This is perhaps the most difficult topic in the entire chain. Otherwise, without this, even the best and most targeted traffic can be flushed down the toilet. Or get ten times less profit than it could have been.
In short, the topic of converting traffic into installs is complex, voluminous and requires high-quality thinking. And various split tests. Lots of split tests.
The above is purely my opinion. Someone makes landings for 50 bucks and doesn't bother.
But at the moment we will focus only on the methods of obtaining traffic. I will not write schemes for working with them, for obvious reasons. If you still do not understand why no one will write ready-made manuals - reread the post.
Exchanges
What is the easiest way to obtain traffic? Buy it - this is logical. And now the key question - why is exchange traffic the most worn out and killed? The answer is because it can be bought for free (i.e. hammered in). The picture is approximately as follows. There are a certain number of exchanges where you can buy traffic for free. That is, buying a piece of cardboard and hammering it in is much more profitable than shelling out your hard-earned money.
Who benefits from such traffic? Services selling installs and logs (see above). Dumb hamsters will eat this crap, squeal about the injustice of the world and ... continue to eat this crap. A sect of coprophiliacs, mother of them. Ugh.
So all exchanges are complete crap and there is no point in them?
Well, gentlemen, this is funny. There are a TON of traffic exchanges. Well, there are a lot of them. Take those that are not jerked off by everyone and their dog and work with them. Yes, you will have to shell out your hard-earned money, that is, pay in full. But where have you seen a business without advertising? The picture is similar here. If you want "clients", invest in advertising. And you will make a profit.
Well, or continue to complain about bad and evil uncles who do not let you live well and push traffic in 10 hands.
But the obvious disadvantage of exchanges is limited traffic, which will be generated one way or another. Therefore, for those who actively want to use exchanges in their work, it is advisable to constantly look for new resources and change the layouts on the old ones.
Bundles
A morally obsolete method of extracting installs from IE. Zero sense, no profit, in general, either. Especially good swearing. A waste of time. This is not even yesterday, but the day before yesterday.
CPA offices
More suitable for mobile installs, but with imagination you can come up with a high-quality approach for desktop traffic. The topic is quite hackneyed, so you can't get there on a crooked goat. You need an understanding of the market and a certain amount of intelligence. Not for average minds. Therefore, if you have succeeded, congratulations, your intelligence is above average.
Facebook and Google AdWords
Very high-quality and targeted traffic. One of the best topics for working with traffic, in general. The disadvantages are the same. They constantly tighten the screws, you need to constantly look for a new approach, fight with moderation, increase the conversion and track a bunch of other parameters. It is recommended to work in a small team. In this segment, the speed of work is one of the most important parameters. Working alone, there will simply not be enough time for anything.
Torrents
Many will say that the topic has long been exhausted. In general, yes. For ordinary people. But smart people get VERY tasty traffic and installs from there. I do not advise discounting it. Our guys make about 10-15K$ per week from installs purely from torrents.
Freelance
Life hack. If you are too lazy or do not know how to do something yourself, outsource it. A specialist will do everything himself, set it up and drive up traffic.
Pros:
Convenient and saves a shit ton of time.
The traffic will be really clean, without "neighbors".
You can get pretty big volumes.
Cons:
The main freelance exchanges have been jacked up long ago, bro, relax.
Finding a good specialist is a real headache.
You will have to pay in your own white ones to the unjacked exchanges. And I'm not talking about vodka, but hard-earned money.
They throw you in the way. Don't relax your buns.
But the niche is good, just in that it is jacked up and the border between "cheated, freaks" and "cool guy, awesome traffic" is huge and difficult to overcome. It makes sense to worry. The entry threshold is high.
Spam (SMS and email)
Spam email, I will say, is a frankly complex topic, because it requires a powerful technological base and support. Spam filters have become powerful, you can't get around them on a crooked goat. Plus you need good databases, preferably corporate ones. High fantasy, how to handle them correctly. Well, and hands from the right place.
For noobs, two important notes:
It is IMPOSSIBLE to stuff exe into PDF. It used to be possible, now all vulnerabilities are closed. Whoever says the opposite wants to fuck you hard in the ass. We bet he is ready to do it for a "small amount of money"?
It is possible to stuff EXE into .docs only if a person has macros enabled. Otherwise, nothing will work there. Now let's think about how many people even know what it is and why they are needed at all?
SMS spam, on the contrary, is a noble and fertile topic. The disadvantages are the same, you need your own SMS gateway, good imagination, an application/APK file, databases, etc. And finally, software and money to organize all this stuff
I hope that this information will be useful to at least 1 target person out of 10. The others are too stupid and lazy to get any sense out of it.
In general, I was prompted to write this post by the situation that is happening in the market, in general. And in the market, the percentage of banal buyers' deception has long been off the charts beyond all possible limits. Moreover, if earlier it was somehow hidden, now they do not even hide it. This happens, of course, due to the absolute stupidity of the "population" of thematic forums.
Therefore, we will analyze each step with you, so that later you just stupidly send sellers who will pour shit into your ears and drive nonsense. Knowledge is power!
Statistics stubbornly show that the most (and only!) successful people in any field are those who are the smartest, most efficient and have secret information. The rest (about 95%) are the usual fodder base for various kinds of commercial services. In our case, these are people who can only stupidly poke at the keys, whine, complain and shit everywhere where possible and impossible.
If you want to understand the issue and achieve financial success, then I advise you to listen to my advice.
Paragraph zero. Zero point of reference. Let's start with preparation.
First of all, you will need:
Understanding the basics of the material part
Understanding that you will have to go through a path in which there will be failures. THEY WILL BE. There are no exceptions. And there will always be difficulties. There are no eternal work topics.
Hard work and perseverance.
First. The material part.
This is what respected schoolchildren, students and adults hate most of all. Theory. It would seem, why the hell do you need a theory? "I'm a bare practitioner, screw the theory" proudly declare 9 out of 10 people.
Theoretical base is needed everywhere. Generally everywhere. You don't need to understand everything from start to finish, but you must know the basics. At a minimum, this applies to:
~ Minimal understanding of the basics of server administration
~ Understanding the basic protocols of work
~ Basic knowledge of html|css if you work with landings.
~ Understanding the basics of cryptography.
~ The ability to spoofer data that comes/goes in your work.
Why is this necessary? Otherwise, you will be wandering in complete darkness, not even understanding what you are doing at all. The success of the work depends, first of all, on UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIONS YOU ARE PERFORMING. And secondly, HOW EXACTLY THIS ACTION FUNCTIONS.
What kind of financial success can we even talk about then?
Secondly. Difficulties.
Let's imagine that the path from the beginning of assembling your money conveyor consists of 10 steps. And each step has 3-4 substeps. In total, there are 40 cells that should fire with a chance of "success".
If you do not believe in Higher Magic, but then you understand that there will be problems somewhere. Moreover, most likely they will be at every step. You need to get used to this prose of life.
But I will tell you this, it is absolutely normal. If you are afraid of difficulties and deep down you hope that you will escape from all this evil, then it is better not to even start. Any difficulty can be solved. Any at all, you just need to be able to find an approach. When you learn, success will not keep you waiting.
Third. Hard work and persistence.
Everything is simple here. If you are not ready to work hard 12 hours a day or more at first, you will not see success. You simply will not have enough time to set everything up and launch it. Everything changes, everything is in motion. This topic is not for lovers of calm, laminar flows. You can argue, of course, but you need to prove something to yourself, not to other people.
Paragraph one. Visual diagram of work.
It would seem to be a boring and useless topic, but judging by my personal communication, at least half does not represent the whole picture, in general and as a whole! So let's think about it visually. And so. Let's present this in the form of a simple mathematical formula:
Traffic + software = material for work = profit
In short, we have traffic, which ultimately leads to the fact that you will have installations of your exe file on users' computers (Installs). From the user's computer, you can get useful material, which you turn into money.
Now let's expand the function:
Traffic consists of the traffic itself and the method of converting traffic into installs. In our case, this is a banal download and installation of a file from the site. We will not consider bundles due to their death.
Software consists of selecting software and configuring it.
Material for work consists of logs, access to a PC/phone, data interception.
Profit consists of active and passive
Now let's put it all together:
(Traffic channel + conversion site) + configured software = Logs + possible access to PC/phone + keylogger (if needed) = Active and passive income.
A conversion site consists of the site itself, tested and tuned for maximum conversion and a well-thought-out legend/theme. We'll also add analytics (TDS system). We'll also add anti-cloaking. We'll also add good crypt. We'll also add hosting for sites and possible hosting for your software. More on that below. Our function swells and becomes visually indigestible. But this is just the base!
So the function comes to the following form:
(Traffic channel + (legend + maximum conversion site + TDS system + anti-cloaking + file crypt)) + configured software + configured hosting = Logs (+ possible access to PC/phone) + keylogger (if needed) = Logs + possible access to PC/phone + keylogger (if needed) = Active and passive income.
Now the question. How many people even think about this, how much do they need for work? Very few ...
Every! Every step requires elaboration! Every! And detailed, thoughtful and attentive. If one of the factors is equal to zero, then your entire multiplication will be equal to zero. Life, indeed.
Well, now I'll finish it off for those who still have rose-colored glasses. No one will assemble this scheme for you. So, let's sit down at Google and start to thoughtfully study what and how works and is arranged in this world.
Second paragraph. Software for work.
First, let's look at the software for work itself. Because, based on your capabilities (financial and intellectual), you need to start from this.
For beginners (and not only) - the best option is a stealer. Such crap that comes from a computer (in general) and browsers (in particular) everything that is poorly nailed down. Passwords, addresses, photos, data, cookies, etc. In general, a nasty thing for evil uncles
Again, I will not give any links. I will tell you how to choose the best option for yourself, what to pay attention to and how not to get screwed with a purchase.
So, there are many stealers on the market. From well-known to not so well-known. The main habitat is exploit and vvh. There are even more private ones. I would like to point out that in this case, "private" does not mean "super-quality". Usually, it's the other way around. Conventionally, all stealers can be divided into two groups:
A stealer that is located on third-party servers.
A stealer that you host on your own.
Attention! The following is a purely personal opinion. Otherwise, stealer sellers will come and throw shit at me.
Let's take one simple thought into account right away. Everything they write will be half true at best. Open a forum and you'll see hundreds of topics where everything is so delicious and rosy. Just buy, launch and the cash flow will flow to you. No problems, no pitfalls, no scams and teasing. There is nothing. Only concentrated joy from work and a swelling wallet from bitcoins.
Everyone scams! Absolutely everyone! You can avoid this only by understanding the material part and knowing what exactly you need and why!
A stealer that is located on third-party servers.
What is good about stealers, which, roughly speaking, are issued on a turnkey basis? On the one hand, everything looks kosher in the luxury style. For a certain amount per month, you get software that is completely ready for work. You could say turnkey. Crypto and fight! That's where the pros end. Let's consider the cons.
First of all, you need to understand that ALL your logs and data will be located on servers that you do not have access to. Of course, you will read a lot of assurances about “servers located on Mars/Jupiter/Moon/in the depths of a black hole” and also “no logging”, as well as “crystal clear work with clients”, etc.
We think it is logical - you trust your money and security to a third-party service? Especially in black business. Even so - can you trust someone with your data simply on your word of honor? In an area where the very word “trust” looks somehow pathetic, funny and ... ordered or something. You can trust if you can check. And if you can't check, then ....
If you still trust, then the issue is resolved. If not, then we move on to the second option.
A stealer that you host.
In this case, all your data will be on your server. The disadvantages are again in plain sight - you will have to tinker with the settings yourself. And with the installation too. And you will have to provide basic technical support yourself if you do not want to waste a ton of time. In general, this is not even a disadvantage. For someone, on the contrary, it is a big plus.
And now a CRITICALLY IMPORTANT remark, which everyone usually gives a big fat dick to.
You need to check the stealer. Check it yourself! Do not trust anyone, any checkers, testers, etc. Take a pack of grandfathers/virtual machines with information on the disk and different browsers (if the grandfather is naked - fill it yourself). From XP to Windows 10, versions x86/x64. Disable all antiviruses and run the build. The pass should be 100% and only like this! If somewhere something does not work, feel free to write to the developer and clarify this point. They will assure you that you are an idiot and everything works for them. Don't believe it, you are not an idiot. On the contrary, you have become smarter and have become an inconvenient client.
You can't even imagine how poorly most stealers are implemented. Losses reach 50%!!! And I'm not exaggerating.
Paragraph three. Hosting.
The most painful topic, alas and ah. And for a beginner, it is also the most difficult. Therefore, let's look into it carefully. No matter how much you strive for autonomy and minimal dependence on third-party servers, you will have to work with hosters constantly. And these radishes are taking full advantage of this.
So, when choosing a server, you must immediately understand what exactly you need. And for what. And what are the requirements. For a stealer, you need a regular VDS of average power. 2-4 cores, 4-8 gigabytes of RAM, 100 GB SSD are quite good for work.
For VNC, the requirements are an order of magnitude higher and more complex! That's why I won't describe it here, because the topic is not for beginners anymore.
And now a list of the most common scams from the hosting side:
Load quality in general. There is such a parameter as uptime. In short, what percentage of this VDS is in a live state. For a good hosting, this parameter is about 99.5% - 99.9%
Anti-advertisement. For example, fastflux (we'll look at it below) has recently been showing 10-20% uptime at BRAZZERS. I wasn't mistaken. About 80-90% of the time their FF is down! Tech support doesn't acknowledge the problem and stupidly ignores or bans. Read the forums, everything is written there.
Measure UPTIME yourself! Necessary! Mandatory!
Let's count: The stealer has partially failed, uptime is within 90% (for example). You haven't even started working yet, and you've already lost about 15-20% of potential installs. Like the picture?
Channel scam.
It's simple. You take a 1Gb/sec channel. And yours is 2 or 3 times lower (meaning the sum of the incoming + outgoing flow). Tech. Support swears that the channel is dedicated, not shared. And you have a different picture ... Very common. Check. Critical if you need a wide channel for work.
Characteristics scam
It's even simpler. You are promised 32 GB of RAM, but they put 16. Why is this necessary? Because 50% do not even check. Check, they will apologize to you nicely and put the right one.
A scam with the server's abuse resistance.
Well, here there is simply a field for maneuvering. Zeros here and there, assurances here and there. False words and smiles in correspondence. Let's put everything on the shelves. First of all, you need to ask what can be placed on the server. If your stealer can be placed, then this is, first of all, the hosting permission and nothing more, and not resistance to abuse!!! They even fool you with this!
Example: The hosting allows you to place a stealer without any problems, but says that in case of a complaint (abuse) it will be disconnected.
So if you take an abuse-resistant server, then clarify what abuses it supports. The favorite phrase of hosters: "Yes, we are a completely abuse-resistant hosting, but we do not support complaints from ###." If you are not satisfied with this approach, a good analogue would be Fastflux. True, you still have to look for a good one.
A scam with domain abuse resistance.
It's even simpler here - they don't exist. None at all. There are relatively loyal ones. But nothing more. Therefore, you will have to change domains. Sometimes often, sometimes rarely. But get ready for this right away. And install an autochecker that will check whether the domain is alive or not. It won't get any worse.
Example: the domain died during the traffic flood and all the traffic went down the drain. How to avoid this? Read the next article.
Most of the support is very stupid and does not understand the issues at all and in general. It is difficult to use the word "scam" here, but some issues that can be solved by yourself in half an hour can take 1-2 days, if not more. Therefore, again - the skill of basic server administration is very necessary.
Paragraph four. Traffic.
The topic is very extensive and requires a separate large article. The only preface that I want to say right away. There are a LOT of niches where you can find the traffic you need. Off the top of my head, I can name 3-4 with minimal competition. And you don't have to be a rocket scientist to launch a drill there and start developing. You just have to move your ass a little and tighten your mind.
Mini-conclusion
The article was long, so that's all for now. If people are interested, I'll continue.
Please don't bother me with questions in PM, you can ask them right in the topic. I'll try to answer if possible.
You can also tell me what you'd like to learn about first.
Part Two
Long-term success is never fast. Either this way or that, but not both. Business is a marathon.
Before I move on, I'll digress a bit. Do you want me to tell you the conclusions from this whole epic? I work with many people in related fields and the most popular phrases I hear are:
I took regular hosting for 10 bucks. Well, let them ban you, at least it's cheap
There's no money for anything yet, but I did it for free, it's free, I scammed you here, and here I took a hacked version. Total crap, carding is dead, shit doesn't work.
Zero feedback. Total crap traffic. I didn't check it, the software really works, the developer told me so.
I bought a super manual, but it doesn't work at all.
I bought installations, but they're all worked out.
So, people want money. It's logical. People want money without investing anything. It's not logical. People want a lot of money without investing anything and without knowing anything. It's already stupid. Therefore, first of all, we'll have to sort out another issue, which again 99% don't give a damn about.
Paragraph four. Financial literacy.
Actually, why count and predict anything at all? We'll hit, bang, gulp, sip and it will all work out as it should. Right?
The first rule of financial literacy is not to sit on general-purpose forums.
99% of people are not capable of anything. Of the remaining 1%, 99% of people are doing something that is not interesting to you. With the rest, if many random factors coincide, you can do a great job.
Imagine that you have a question that you need an answer to. You go to a forum where noobs, trolls, school kids and a small percentage of smart people are hanging out. Smart people are unlikely to answer you, they have no time, they are lazy, and in principle, it is somehow not convenient to give out useful information. But the rest ... UGH. At the very least, you will get wasted time and a ruined mood. At the most, they will feed you left-wing information.
What to do? Absorb less unnecessary information based on useless emotions and rumors. Form connections, join small target groups / channels / closed forums, communicate with knowledgeable people. The process is not fast, but very effective.
The second rule of financial literacy is to have a reliable, reinforced concrete, titanium-alloy technical base.
If you exchange freedom and prospects for sausage, one day there will be no freedom, no prospects, no sausage.
To my previous post. Always work on a good and reliable hosting. It is not that expensive! This is your base and foundation. Without it, there is no point in moving forward. The logic of "just for now, I'll make a buck and immediately move to a normal one" usually ends with a complete "pfft".
Always check the purchased software for operability! If your purchased software, on the rented hosting, performs its task at least at 4 plus, then you can move on. If not, go back to "step zero" and go through the path again.
The third rule of financial literacy is to have a clear business plan, economic calculations and specific figures.
It is much harder to create real values than their appearance. For the second, you only need a good PR person and a lot of imagination. With the first, everything is usually more complicated - there are numbers.
And this is generally the scourge of today's under-carders. When people ask me for help or advice, I only ask to show financial calculations and a clear action plan. As you can understand, no such person has one in nature.
ALWAYS (like this in caps, yeah) you need to have calculations. Point by point, with feeling, sense and arrangement. Taking into account imaginary and harmful savings (I'll take a cheaper host, cheaper crypto, cheaper traffic) and the necessary savings (I'll take a little more expensive, but I'll save money).
Approximate calculations look like this:
Hosting + software + consumables + crypto + rent of necessary services + current expenses + safety cushion for unforeseen expenses (10-20% of the amount) = N dollars
Then we check with the amount of money in the account. If you fit in, then good. If not, then either think about where you can save adequately, or make up for the missing amount. Starting something with a budget surplus means losing all your money and getting nothing in the end.
The fourth rule of financial literacy is that you can't make candy out of shit.
Miracles happen, but only to other people. Your miracles must be carefully and in advance prepared.
Here again, faith in miracles plays a malicious role. Almost every person without personal experience, waits for "what if it all works out and everything works out." Forums play an important role in this, where there are tons of reviews and stories of people who hop and rake in the dough, without experience, knowledge, understanding, or investment.
Agree, it's a shame? You are so well-read and prepared and have a hole in your pocket from a donut, and someone is making money out of thin air.
That doesn't happen. If in your social circle there are people who know nothing, don’t understand, don’t figure things out, don’t want to learn and generally actively talk nonsense on the topic of “I’m just making money by pressing buttons,” then it’s time for you to change your social circle.
Don't expect miracles.
Don't expect to suddenly get rich with zero investment.
Don't expect to do anything with zero investment.
Don't expect magic.
Don't think that problems and budget sag will resolve themselves.
Always operate with specific numbers and practical results.
Never believe people's words that "I have hop and everything works, and why it doesn't work for you, I don't know."
Success is not an alternative to failure. Success is what comes after a series of failures.
The fifth rule of financial literacy is no paid manuals.
Remember, son, three important rules:
A topic is sold when it doesn't work.
A topic is sold when it's dead and you want to get at least something more from it.
But they jerk off the working scheme until they're blue in the face, ignoring eating, shitting, sleeping and fucking. Without exception.
Paragraph five. Traffic and installs. Myths.
The world is fair. Every consequence has its own cause. Everyone gets exactly what they created the conditions to get.
Traffic is the holy of holies for all carders. Mecca and the Holy Grail. An object of worship, jerking off and countless myths and legends.
A natural, such a fat and tasty topic has attracted a huge number of people from the series "I'll sell you big money for little money, just buy it." And suckers are happy to believe.
So let's analyze the main myths and legends, while thinking about which way to dig and move. I repeat! Don't be stupid, be smart. Don't let different bastards feed at your expense! Read and take note.
Attention! I'm specifically talking about traffic, not ready-made installs. I will give an explanation at the end.
Everything further is my personal opinion based on logic and practical experience. To believe, not to believe, to accept, to use, to operate the received information or not is your personal choice.
Traffic. The main pseudo-myths.
Myth 1. Traffic is 99% of success in business.
Traffic is 30-35% of success in business. And maybe less.
To competently convert traffic into installs (the quantity and quality of installs depend on this), to work out all types of traffic (desktop and mobile), to achieve a high conversion and, finally, to monetize the obtained result to the maximum - this is an even more difficult task than to get traffic.
Myth 2. There is very little good traffic and it is very difficult to get it.
There is a LOT of traffic and getting it is not as difficult as the devil paints about it. You just need to move your head. You do not need to look where there is no what you want to find.
Myth 3. For good money, you can buy quality traffic.
You can't. No one will sell money for money.
Myth 4. There are ready-made solutions for traffic mining.
No. All ready-made solutions are a banal scam for hamsters and nothing more.
Installs. The main pseudo-myths.
Here, everything is even more interesting. If working with naked traffic is relatively rare (because it requires experience and some kind of base for acceptance and processing), then the market for selling installs is the "Great Cycle of Shit in Nature". Want to know why? Read on.
Imagine that you have your own traffic channel, and you get installs from it. Your traffic is private, your own, good, etc. And then you decided, instead of making money on it, to sell it for $1 per install. Or even more fun - to sell ready-made logs, instead of monetizing them yourself.
Can you imagine how many noble Samaritans there are?
Conclusion one. Any service for selling installs/logs uses "public" traffic. Without exception.
Conclusion two. Any service for selling installs/logs is created for the ass-worthiness of not particularly smart hamsters and schoolchildren. Without exception.
Conclusion three. Any sale of traffic/logs implies the fact that selling this log for five kopecks is more profitable than monetizing this log.
Conclusion four. If it is more profitable to sell installs than to monetize them, then the quality of the installs is completely sad.
Conclusion five. You are considered an idiot. Isn't that offensive?
I once calculated, taking into account all the monetization possibilities, how much my install could cost if I wanted to sell it. Crypto, banks, stick, Amazon, shops, accounts, links, etc. The cost of one install with good traffic was about $25-30. Moreover, this is purely desktop traffic. Without fat wires and the like.
The picture looks something like this. Someone took a shit, someone else ate it, digested it, took a shit again. This is recycled shit, someone else ate it and so on in a circle. Sorry for the unpleasant picture, but in fact it is. I do not argue, even picking through shit, you can dig up something relatively edible and useful. But do you need it?
The first final conclusion - any sale of traffic, logs, etc. is a common and simple scam of hamsters who do not understand a damn thing about what they are doing.
The second final conclusion - if you calculate the costs (money + time) and net profit, you will get an amazing picture. Your own traffic (even of poor quality) is many times, if not an order of magnitude, more profitable and advantageous!
Paragraph six. Traffic. Extraction.
The most important remark! In addition to extracting traffic, you also need to be able to competently convert it, process and monetize it to the maximum. This is perhaps the most difficult topic in the entire chain. Otherwise, without this, even the best and most targeted traffic can be flushed down the toilet. Or get ten times less profit than it could have been.
In short, the topic of converting traffic into installs is complex, voluminous and requires high-quality thinking. And various split tests. Lots of split tests.
The above is purely my opinion. Someone makes landings for 50 bucks and doesn't bother.
But at the moment we will focus only on the methods of obtaining traffic. I will not write schemes for working with them, for obvious reasons. If you still do not understand why no one will write ready-made manuals - reread the post.
Exchanges
What is the easiest way to obtain traffic? Buy it - this is logical. And now the key question - why is exchange traffic the most worn out and killed? The answer is because it can be bought for free (i.e. hammered in). The picture is approximately as follows. There are a certain number of exchanges where you can buy traffic for free. That is, buying a piece of cardboard and hammering it in is much more profitable than shelling out your hard-earned money.
Who benefits from such traffic? Services selling installs and logs (see above). Dumb hamsters will eat this crap, squeal about the injustice of the world and ... continue to eat this crap. A sect of coprophiliacs, mother of them. Ugh.
So all exchanges are complete crap and there is no point in them?
Well, gentlemen, this is funny. There are a TON of traffic exchanges. Well, there are a lot of them. Take those that are not jerked off by everyone and their dog and work with them. Yes, you will have to shell out your hard-earned money, that is, pay in full. But where have you seen a business without advertising? The picture is similar here. If you want "clients", invest in advertising. And you will make a profit.
Well, or continue to complain about bad and evil uncles who do not let you live well and push traffic in 10 hands.
But the obvious disadvantage of exchanges is limited traffic, which will be generated one way or another. Therefore, for those who actively want to use exchanges in their work, it is advisable to constantly look for new resources and change the layouts on the old ones.
Bundles
A morally obsolete method of extracting installs from IE. Zero sense, no profit, in general, either. Especially good swearing. A waste of time. This is not even yesterday, but the day before yesterday.
CPA offices
More suitable for mobile installs, but with imagination you can come up with a high-quality approach for desktop traffic. The topic is quite hackneyed, so you can't get there on a crooked goat. You need an understanding of the market and a certain amount of intelligence. Not for average minds. Therefore, if you have succeeded, congratulations, your intelligence is above average.
Facebook and Google AdWords
Very high-quality and targeted traffic. One of the best topics for working with traffic, in general. The disadvantages are the same. They constantly tighten the screws, you need to constantly look for a new approach, fight with moderation, increase the conversion and track a bunch of other parameters. It is recommended to work in a small team. In this segment, the speed of work is one of the most important parameters. Working alone, there will simply not be enough time for anything.
Torrents
Many will say that the topic has long been exhausted. In general, yes. For ordinary people. But smart people get VERY tasty traffic and installs from there. I do not advise discounting it. Our guys make about 10-15K$ per week from installs purely from torrents.
Freelance
Life hack. If you are too lazy or do not know how to do something yourself, outsource it. A specialist will do everything himself, set it up and drive up traffic.
Pros:
Convenient and saves a shit ton of time.
The traffic will be really clean, without "neighbors".
You can get pretty big volumes.
Cons:
The main freelance exchanges have been jacked up long ago, bro, relax.
Finding a good specialist is a real headache.
You will have to pay in your own white ones to the unjacked exchanges. And I'm not talking about vodka, but hard-earned money.
They throw you in the way. Don't relax your buns.
But the niche is good, just in that it is jacked up and the border between "cheated, freaks" and "cool guy, awesome traffic" is huge and difficult to overcome. It makes sense to worry. The entry threshold is high.
Spam (SMS and email)
Spam email, I will say, is a frankly complex topic, because it requires a powerful technological base and support. Spam filters have become powerful, you can't get around them on a crooked goat. Plus you need good databases, preferably corporate ones. High fantasy, how to handle them correctly. Well, and hands from the right place.
For noobs, two important notes:
It is IMPOSSIBLE to stuff exe into PDF. It used to be possible, now all vulnerabilities are closed. Whoever says the opposite wants to fuck you hard in the ass. We bet he is ready to do it for a "small amount of money"?
It is possible to stuff EXE into .docs only if a person has macros enabled. Otherwise, nothing will work there. Now let's think about how many people even know what it is and why they are needed at all?
SMS spam, on the contrary, is a noble and fertile topic. The disadvantages are the same, you need your own SMS gateway, good imagination, an application/APK file, databases, etc. And finally, software and money to organize all this stuff
