16,000+ Youtube Views in One Day!

A little story about Youtube videos.

My brother does professional video editing offline. Over the last few months he has been posting a bunch of short videos (comedy) on Youtube.

I was looking at his stats for one of his highest viewed videos & found one of the sites on the Failblog network picked up his video & embedded on their site.

That one embeded video had 16,000+ views from the Failblog network page, in a single day. Not bad!

That was one of 11 sites that picked up his video. Views bottomed out at almost 135,000 views.

Bottom line, that Failblog network of sites gets a $hit load of traffic!

Lucky break for your brother. How much income did he get from all those promotions?

That's the sad part, he doesn't even try to monetize the traffic.

I keep telling him at the very least slap up a few Clickbank affliate links, in the video description + a link in the video.

He is worried he'll get his account shutdown. He already had one out of three accounts shut down. Really he is doing a lot of testing to see what will draw views.

I started this thread just as a heads up on the free traffic. Heck at 1% (160) sales isn't shabby If that traffic was monetized.

Once you drop off the front page of those sites, traffic/views tank.
