This is my process:
At around 1100 trophies I go in to Revenge mode. I use (32) Level 5 Balloons and (20) Level 3 Minion. I am TH8.
I wait for people to attack me then revenge them, if no one attacked, each hour my army is done I 100% someone, then queue another army.
I repeat this until I hit crystal and clear out all my revenge buttons worth loot. Then I switch to decent mode building (100) Level 5 Archers and (50) Level 3 minion. I quickly drop trophies while finding people worth 500K total loot to raid. Archers snipe harvesters while minion + Heal and Rage can easily penetrate to Storages. On decent back down to 1100 trophies I gain about 3-6 million loot in a few hours. (keep in mind that WINNING is not the quantity of trophies but how much loot you steal).
While in Revenge mode I usually make 200K-300K a raid and
1000-3000 Dark Elixir.
