Newbie Method To Making Money With Content Locking And Events

8 replies
Hey all,

This method is not entirely new but is very far from being saturated and indeed, is very hard to saturate. I will scoot over the details so you can see what you think;

The Idea
The basic idea is to utilise a content locker, good starting ones are CPALead or BlamAds to get high traffic for one specific time event. These events can be anything but the easiest ones to start with are probably sports events.

You will need to create a single web page per event, with an event at least 2 weeks in the future, often more to make it easy to rank your keywords. The screen merely needs to have the event date and title on the top and a picture of a video player. For example, WATCH LIVE HERE Celtic Vs. Barcelona October 23 2012.

The onclick event for picture will lead to a content locker, and the content locker will lead to a product, either from clickbank, commission junction or similar that offers live streaming services, and advertises sports streams. This allows for two income streams, one for the content locker and a second for the streaming service, allowing people to watch the advertised match.

You can do this with a blog and have a page for each event, or just set up a simple webpage, but it is best with hosting and your own domain. As long as you are quick out the door in advertising, you should be able to rank for your keywords quite easily, for example 'live stream celtic barcelona', 'live streaming barcelona oct 23', etc, etc.

Done well this method can be very successful, and if set up for many events, extremely successful. Use your imagination to think what else you can twist the method to, the concept will stay the same but there are many way of doing it.

Use social bookmarking, digg, delicious, facebook, etc to build links to the page and get your keywords ranked, then wait for the event, if done well you should receive a very high rate of traffic, around the start of the event, and some cash for your pocket. Please note, do not advertise free streaming and this is not what you are offering, you are merely showing people to a streaming service which they can buy if they wish...

Hope that made some sense, but please ask any questions you want...

    It's not new but, yes, if well managed, it could be a killer. You'll have to be on top of each and every event though. Hard work but can be very profitable.

    Any recommendations on a good content-locker script or WP plugin?

    We all know about it much or less. But success depends on implementation. If you can implement all of those very carefully and effectively then the result would be really awesome. Best of luck.

    You said there are 2 income streams. One is the content locker. How does one make money with a content locker, and is CPALead one? I've never heard of that.

    This concept is similar to "launch jacking" where you prepare for upcoming launches (or even upcoming shows... hint hint) I have a tutorial called "The Oprah Method" that utilizes this "prepare for the future" strategy. Multiple web properties are built and as you might imagine, when Oprah aired the show those (ranked) sites got a S#$%#@ load of traffic.

    The concept is solid and, like you said, can be utilized in many ways.

    Anyway, tell me more about that "content locker" you mentioned.

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    It's not new and it can be very profitable. Content lock the live stream to the sports game or event and make people fill out offers or click on ads to continue watching. Be sure to let them watch a few minutes of the game before the content locker kicks in just so they genuinely believe you that they can watch the game / event. If you content lock it without them so much as seeing any of the event they are less likely to click the ad / fill out the offer.

    Be warned though the live stream of the sport game / event is likely to be copyrighted so you could get into trouble.
