I will share with you my +20 years of experience, ask anything
Hello PH folks,
My name is Ahmad, I have been in the filed from 99s, I built and ship a lot of products, made millions of $$ in the past 12 years from my services, and projects. I'm here to share, and help you all with my information.
Starting from 99s I was study and explore the internet as normal person in middle east, in this age "Yahoo" and "MSN" was the top before Google take everything. if you want to make an email you were the nird one to create one. Anyway, here were my explore was at top at young age a study a lot it was famous the vbulletin and bb forums, so I search on how to create one especially for Arab community, I made one on 2008 and from there I figure out that in our regions this service will cost you about 200$ to make one, so I offer this installation and stuffs to others I promote myself in other forms that famous in tec filed, so I was made thousands. Anyway, I figure out about "SEO" that was gold mind for me, for my forum and for other clients, I start to learn a lot about Google algorithms and applied to my forum until I ranked 6000 in Alexa ranking if ever you remember it, number 6000 you mean that there is 600K daily visitors, and millions of visits. in the path of learning SEO, I provide this service to others which cost around $150 one time setup, so I made some other thousands, until my website reach 10K rank at Alexa, then starting a lot of advertisers and companies contact me to cooperation here for every banner i put I take 2000$, many companies reach me out and we make some contracts for 3 months with 30K$ and so, that when I run and pay my bills and take some profits. After that amount of knowledge I open my company in 2012 for e-marketing services, I work with many companies some local, some Internationals, signed a lot of contracts with 6 figures to bring such services to these companies, I was prosperous at CPL campaigns at the top of it, I made a lot for many companies. After these years and after AI emerged the marketing bills cut off by 90% in my filed, so I start learning a lot on AI until I built three new projects in the past 4 years for me and for other clients, right now I made five figures from these projects, and from services i provide. in this era I believe the building is easy, shipping is hard.
So this is my little story, I'm here to answer you any questions, and share with you my experience

@sumit_ghosh7 No, but it's the current trend, whether through direct advertising or through influencers. However, reputation is key in my opinion; word of mouth will leads you to social media organically through Google, and others.
