TL;DR He made about 20k for 440 hours of work. about $45/hour but the main thing is that he improved and is finding bugs even faster and it's helping the other parts of his business. You. Are. Welcome.

[@silentwindstudio]

I usually love this TL;DR coments, but this video is a MUST watch for anyone starting on bug bounty.

[@alexjamarco]

saved me 17 min. imo don't think the video is that important.

[@xu83r]

Now subtract taxes. In Germany you would have earned 10k. 440h is 101 weeks if you work 8 hours a day.

[@srsly3602]

@@xu83r101 weeks?

[@kodokraksasa6564]

these kind of things is insane for those living in 3rd world countries, that is around 2.5 months worth of work meaning you make around 8k a month. That kind of salary is a company board's salary in SEA.

[@ImranParray0x01]

My first year's payout was $8,000, and I hunted for bugs for about 5-6 hours per day. This is my sixth year in bugbounties, and I make around $100,000 by working 3-4 hours per day. Things take time, so the only people who have the fortitude to keep the faith and keep grading will be successful.

[@WebWonders1]

If you are trying hard to find bug but didn't get it yet. I was in the same situation but how I got two triaged. Rule.1 Stick with one program. Rule.2 Observe your actions and ask your self a question what I am doing wrong?

Thank you for your great work, you motivate me a lot I spent 40 hours in October at hunting. but I kept switching between programs and I made 1350 USD This month I only worked 20 hours, but on 1 program. I've made 2300 USD and there are 3 bugs. 1 medium and 2 high I am waiting a response for them I don't use tools or look for XSSs and that stuff. I just focus on understanding the program and try to find logical bugs and break the website access controls.

You made the mistake of thinking you got lazy. You did not, you took an a massive challenge and burned out a little. I have been working from home for a decade as a freelancer/entrepreneur. I know this struggle, and you handled it shockingly well to be honest. It is incredibly hard to stay motivated and manage your time, especially if you are juggling multiple things and your finances are not going well. I just wanted to say this so that for the next person this is not a surprise. Thank you for your honesty, it is very rare to see this im the industry. Keep up the hard work, you are doing well

Really, typing with a foot! That is productivity to the max.

I am already retired and doing my things or completing my incomplete dreams of my youth. I agree entirely about your motives, transparency and getting organised. I do a kind of bounty but on water polluters and landfills. Good hunting.

Most of the bug bounty roadmap videos are for people who already know pen testing. Please make a video on bug bounty learning roadmap for developers.

[@BugBountyReportsExplained]

How would I do it if that's not a road I went through? Genuine question

[@facebook3677]

@@BugBountyReportsExplained Being an active member of the hacker community, you must be knowing many many hackers, some of whom might have travelled that path. May be you could invite such people on your channel for a series of interviews, which would give us the details about that. It would be a great video series since not many videos exist on that theme. Even if you decide not to do that, you can share your thoughts on roadmap for the people who are absolute beginners, who don't know anything about pen testing or web application security. The fact that they are developers or non-developers would be irrelevant. What matters is, they know nothing about web application security, pen testing & hacking.
