And I have no idea how to be educated of these methods..
That is because people like that penis, make the community look like a shit tip, going round belittling new members, he could of at least gave you some advice or have pointed you in the right direction but instead he would rather be the forum dick head, which does not surprise me.
All you can really do is gather a few scripts up, run some test grab some diagnostics see what is good, check ban rates, try to find out how many other people are doing it.
In general there are a few methods to gain and farm money it is just finding them.
Haha I feel ya on that one, but its all good man I'm sure I'll figure it out sooner or later
