Haha we shall see, but the short answer is, doubt it. In terms of literally turning BTC in fiat, that's easy and can be done with an exchange like GDAx/ Gemini, or selling on local bitcoins. Unfortunately though, IRS is treating crypto to crypto exchanges NOT as "like kind". Meaning tax needs to be paid on every single currency pair exchange cus each counts as a separate trade. Luckily I have a good lawyer/CPA that's also active in the space and will be doing my crypto books this year. If anyone wants a referral let me know.
I'm also considering investing in Pantera's long term ICO fund.. 50k buy in and you get to realize long term cap gains rates.. Might just do that.

I've got quite a bit of exposure to affiliate marketing (albeit whitehat). There's nothing in the OPs posts that set off my BS meter. He uses a lot of terms that only somebody in the industry would know.
I'd be curious to know what triggered GlobalMan?

It's not that simple.
Facebook's advertising TOS reads like an SJW Bibile. You can't use before and after pics in your ads, you can't call out a person's condition (ie..Are you overweight?). And so on.
Basically, you can have an awesome, transformative product -- but Facebook makes it hard to advertise it. And if you get a couple ads rejected, there's a good chance they'll shut down your account (blocking the payment methods attached to it). So knowing some BH techniques can definitely come in handy.

Interesting, thanks. Related to the above, if you're grossing 250k+ a year, what sort of effective tax rate are you paying?

The income claims OP is making are not unrealistic at all, I know of a guy in my metro area that pulled in around 300mil when the acai craze went insane years back. Mind you he had to pay a lot of it back in fines because of continuous unauthorized charging of credit cards.
My question to OP is this: why not go white hat and forgo the churn and burn of accounts? I know how much can be made from influencer marketing on Instagram for example, or legit product development and sales via affiliates. Wouldn't it mitigate a lot of the headaches? Just a thought.

Hey op
Thanks for all your answers so far. As far as I read you are mostly running casino traffic right now. Do you have a CPA deal or a rev share deal with the casinos?
And if I may ask but I understand if you dont answer it here maybe you can pm me what is your CPA for a FTD?

You need a new ad-guy.
On a serious note, I absolutely hate affiliate marketing and I never use affiliates for any of my online businesses (although in the past I've used influencers etc...). Long-term, i like creating real tangible products, and offering my own services, as despite the income that affiliates can make - again, you're relying on someone else's brand.
But otherwise, glad you're killing it man! Good to have another guy crushing it online on this forum.
We'll have to connect eventually, as I make my living online as well.

You're welcome, am glad some are finding this helpful.
I haven't gone the CPA/ rev share deal route yet. Casino is a new vertical for me so I've been testing CPL because lower payout offers = less testing budget needed. Briefly tested a CPA that paid 160EU on FTD, but that wasn't backing out for me as well as my CPL stuff. Buttt my CPL ADV did tell me that my lead qual had decreased, and at this point only had one account up, so could have just been this account. Will need to test this further with a range of concurrent accounts, as ultimately CPA/ rev share makes a lot more sense from a sustainability POV. Know guys that get their CPL payouts slashed due to qual from fb account to account. Just pixel inconsistency.
** For those not directly in this space to whom the above sounds like a foreign language: He's asking me about my offer model. With casino there's CPL (cost per lead), CPA (cost per action, in this case the action might be when a lead completes registration or may be when a lead completes reg and deposits money), and Rev share (when instead of paying you a set amount per lead/ action, the casino pays the affiliate a % of ongoing profit generated from the lead, in perpetuity. **

100k/month is small potatoes in this space honestly. 100k/day affiliates are all over the place. Talking about affiliates pushing paid traffic to CPA offers here. Especially in the nutra verticals. His claims are not outlandish at all.

I used to work with a guy who was doing $100k/day.
He got in trouble for using fake celebrity endorsements to push products, just like the OP is doing.
Basically, OP understands every minute detail of what super affiliates actually do on a day-to-do basis, which is how you know that he's most likely the real deal.
The guy who I worked with had his own full-time accounting team, partners, and even investors.
So yeah you're right that $100K/day is normal, but most people on this forum have a hard enough time believing that $100k/month is possible...so I didn't wanna get the skeptics worked up again lol.

The new 21% business tax rate are for C-corporations. 99.9% chance you do not have C-corp.
You probably have a sole proprietorship, LLC, or S-Corp. All of which are pass through entities and you will pay taxes on your individual income tax.

Not OP, but think more like:
"Jennifer Aniston uses this 1 secret skin cream to reverse wrinkles, and look 17 years younger. Plastic surgeons hate her!"
Meanwhile, you show a picture of Jennifer Aniston from 1996, along with the skincare product right next to her image.
This is risky because major celebrities can sue you if you're based in the U.S. and attract enough attention.
In case you've ever wondered why so many affiliate marketers live in Bangkok...
