Let me summarize this video for you and save you some time:
1) Guy makes some good money in the "sewers" of Internet Marketing during the boom years (using search engine spam tactics to gather traffic, resell it to the .com startups for inflated prices, then moves on to "finance and other" affiliate programs)
2) Guy gets involved in domain name squatting. Runs into some issues, doesn't pan out.
3) Guy gets involved in "gaming marketing" - online casinos. Makes good money as casino are cash-rich businesses. But it turns out that casino marketing is a seedy business!
4) Develops "Casino Affiliate Program" certification program. Make money off the Casinos - the guys with the money - rather than the affiliates - most of who are just trying to follow get rich quick ebooks they bought from an adwords ad.
Only part of his story that is missing is (my guess):
- Selling porn/Acai berries/Loan Consolidation leads
- Spamming email lists/search engines
Good for him for making tons of cash online. Maybe not the most noble of businesses, might not be for me, but alas, each person has their own goals.
My take away: easier to make money off rich firms than poor individuals.
