16 Years in Affiliate Marketing & Crypto Trading – Happy to Join the Community

[Fingrafov]

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for a while, learning from your discussions. Finally decided to create an account and introduce myself.

My name is George, 43 years old. I've been in this game since 2010 — back when WebMoney was the main payment method and Liberty Reserve was still a thing. For those who remember those days, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

A bit about my journey:

• Started with direct affiliate offers (binary options, forex — it was a different era)
• Moved into CPA networks around 2013, focusing on financial verticals (crypto exchanges, banking products, trading platforms)
• Survived multiple market crashes: 2014, 2018, 2020, 2022
• Transitioned to AI-powered content production in 2023 — now generating 30-50 articles/month with 80% lower costs
• Been testing automated trading bots for the past 12 months (RevenueBot, 3Commas, Bitsgap, etc.)

What I do now:
I run a system I call the "Financial Elevator" — using affiliate income to fund crypto trading, which then funnels profits into traditional banking products. It's not sexy, but it's sustainable.

Networks and tools I use regularly:

• ePN (financial CPA — been with them since 2015)
• RevenueBot (for automated crypto trading)
• Bybit, MEXC, HTX (exchanges)
• Davinchi (AI content generation)

Why I'm here:

• Connect with other experienced affiliates
• Learn about new traffic sources and verticals
• Share what's worked (and what's failed) over 16 years
• Help newer folks avoid the mistakes I made

What I'm NOT here for:

• Selling courses or "secrets"
• Promoting shady offers
• Getting rich quick — already tried that, doesn't work

If anyone else is in financial CPA or crypto affiliate space, let's connect. Always happy to exchange insights.

Feel free to ask me anything — I'll do my best to answer.

Cheers,
George.

There is money to be made in every downturn—if you are positioned right to leverage it.

if you are positioned right to leverage it.

Like selling short or buying derivatives?

Welcome to Affiliatefix!

For those who remember those days

For me it's been since '96 and before that the old "bulletin board" game with porn. Now I stay in my lane with content marketing. There are a number of "old dog" legacy marketers here in your niches though and I'm sure they'll chime in at some point.

Like selling short or buying derivatives?

Trading leverage not margin or other leverage.

Actually, I just unloaded USO; hold time 79 days --ROI 49%; 179% annualized.
Long oil futures ETF. Perfect timing but "Oilmageddon" was a unanticipated wild card.
PR is next then I am out of oil for now.

Lithium miners are my big win now.
Best thing now is to sit on cash and buy on the cheap in a month if this "Iran war" continues ...

Welcome! 16 years is impressive — what verticals have you found most consistent over the years?

Best thing now is to sit on cash

YEP! I moved significant portions into Federated Hermes Ultra Shorts and some JP Morgan Premiere CL's.

I like offers that are easy to explain in one sentence. If the affiliate can’t explain it fast, it gets much harder to promote.

Respect for the long journey - not many people from the WebMoney/Liberty Reserve era are still in the game. Your “financial lift” model sounds solid, especially combining affiliate income with trading and AI content.
