Have you thought about publishing your tactics in gaming the credit system?

There are already tons of articles and videos that have already been published on this. And now Experian / other bureaus offer score breakdowns along with calculators where you can explore how hypothetical actions would affect your score. I think the space is pretty well covered:)

(For an example, Google for AskSebby - How to Increase Your Credit Score)

Just tried it and received a 404

Google Search: AskSebby - How to Increase Your Credit Score

First AskSebby result. https://www.asksebby.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-credit-sco...

I'll keep digging.

As someone else mentioned there is a ton of existing content. The problem is people don’t look until it’s too late because nobody cares about this stuff until it causes issues. Unless schools start teaching real life financial basics the problems will continue.

Credit Karma has been one of my most useful resource for improvements because they break down the factors very well. Many banks have stepped up their game but some don’t give you as much detail.
