I've been doing AM for 6 years since i got out of HS (im 23 now). I started with SEO and hit 6 figs in 2011. Was ranking #2 for Garcinia in google for about 6 months and killed it back in 2013. That was my first lo-mid 6 figs profit year which carried over to 2014. In 2014 I switched from SEO to native ads and have been running native strong for 2.5 years. 2015 was my first 7 fig profit with predominantly paid traffic (native/ppv). Now i just run solely native and get residuals from the ol SEO days lol.
