I think part of the reason I was so worried this time was that IG botting is my only basket atm. Like sure, I have had ideas of what other things I can diversify into. But most of my income is dependent on IG botting.
For @Molishparty and those who preach diversify your income, are you actually running multiple businesses at the same time such that none is more than 80% of your income? I always viewed that as spreading my energy too thin, but maybe it’s the best path forward?
Atm I have a few sources of income:
I’m also trying to start facebook ads/management for clients and am diggind deep on e-commerce/shopify. I barely scratched the surface of it as of yet, so still long way to go before I actually make any money out of that last one - I’ve set up a few dropshipping stores which were a huge flop so far, but you won’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.
The more you diversify the safer it is in case one of your sources of income will go belly up so make sure you do few things at once thats not necessarily strictly related to one another especially if you’re not employed full time. Just have a decent daily schedule, try not to procrastinate too much (that was my problem) and you’ll be fine. 
Never thought of putting shoutouts on a subscription. That’s genius. I’ve always focused on recurring revenue and avoided shoutouts since they’re usually one time deals but now have to test this.
Graphic design and illustration is my 9to5 job 
The only guy I know who sells cars is working on like his 7th year of his 4 year degree and does copious amounts of drugs.
As great as it sounds its really not easy to find the clients for that. The growth isn’t huge by just reposting and it also doesn’t provide as many leads as people might think so they often back out of it after a couple of months. Its all about introducing it well and explaining that its more of a long term marketing strategy. There are also lots of cold calls involved. Again, I will set up a seperate thread about it at some point when I start seeing some decent results. It would be great to contribute more to the forum as it helped me a lot.
Thanks for the advice here. Keeping it on the ideas I’ll explore later list for now.
Wait, I lied. Two of my clients run a car dealership together. But that’s different than being a salesman.
Drug Dealing / Hitman or Pimp
Exactly. Started with xGram then GramDemon. Only the OGs know how far it’s come and changed. It will ALWAYS be there
Same. Half my business is content creation already, so I’m thinking about doubling down on that. Especially higher ticket items like video.
Im also a Musician / Seo specialist
and there’s a lot of IM strategies to make money with it’s a never ending world!
there will never be an end to client management 
they need us
What about managing clients paying ads ? it is like a bot, you take 25% to your self, set it once a month and walla !
is anybody here actively managing influencer Marketing spend for clients?
Like charging clients a flat rate , and buying shoutouts from micro influencers for client.
Facebook won’t let me buy ads 
.
Don’t know but that sounds like a great idea lol
You can always learn how to build websites and offer new service to your clients 
Personally I can recommend Darrel Willson YouTube channel - you can find there a lot of useful and free web development courses: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5alq-VmYnfQZt7YaNgdcGw
I’m an online Marketer IG is just one of my traffic sources
Not my only stream of income - But it will indeed become more feasible and less boring IMO
