What is the best type of offer for youtube marketing, and what niche?

15 replies
I just make 50 free iPhone 4 videos in Movie Maker, took about a hour. I used call to action, simple pictures, and copyright free music. Each video is different. I have all of the videos made, and on my computer, the thing is, I don't know if the free iphone offer was the best choice.

My questions

1)What is the best type of offer to promote on youtube? Address, email, ect.

2)What is the best niche? iPhones/electronics, or what else?

3)How many videos per account?

4)Is there software to automatically add descriptions and keywords, and all I have to do is add the title?

5)How many videos like these free iPhone ones should I need to make to achieve $50 a day?

6)Any other advise would be helpful here!


Thanks in advance!

    1)What is the best type of offer to promote on youtube? Address, email, ect.

    Email and zip submits as they don't require a CC

    2)What is the best niche? iPhones/electronics, or what else?

    Any offers which have a high CR although gift cards and electronics offers tend to work the best.

    3)How many videos per account?

    About 20. If your videos are promoting directly your account could get disabled when videos get flagged.

    4)Is there software to automatically add descriptions and keywords, and all I have to do is add the title?

    You could use RoboForm if your using the same keywords and description for each video.

    5)How many videos like these free iPhone ones should I need to make to achieve $50 a day?

    It depends on how well optimized your videos are. If your just creating slide show type videos about the offer you'll probably need hunderds of videos to reach $50/day because those sort of videos are all over YouTube.

    6)Any other advise would be helpful here!

    There's a tool Jumpstart views which ive heard is very useful. It costs though. There are free alternatives though such as Viewet and Viewtubetrain.

        I think it depends on what keywords your targeting. If you target competitive keywords you could create hundereds of videos and not even make $10/day because most of your videos wouldn't even be anywhere on the first few pages.

        Also things such as views, likes and number of comments affect the video ranking.

        How much do you make per day at the moment with your videos? That will give you a good idea on how much you need to scale to reach the $50/day target.

        I don't know if there is a program to make YouTube accounts but you can buy PVA's from sites such as Fiverr.

        Have you watched Aminur Rahman's free YouTube video course? It's based on promoting Amazon products but he says it works great with CPA also.

            Here's the link - How To cash In Using Killer Videos On Youtube

            Have you tried using Google Trends then creating videos based around those topics with a link to a CPA offer? Then use a service such as PixelPipe to submit your videos to lots of video sites.

            I don't know if you know. The owner of Fourerr is giving away $4 free to everyone who creates an account. You need to submit your username here after you've created the account.

            You could then buy a YouTube gig to promote your videos - youtube Search Results - Fourerr.com | The $4 Online Marketplace There isn't as many Youtube gigs as on Fiverr but there's some and it's still a free gig.

    I would do video reviews exercise equipment and make a review blog with weight-loss offers on the blog. I get a lot of conversions this way. The conversion rate is not high but some days I will see 2 or 3 conversions.

      I'm looking for like large volume of videos, and lower payouts, I can get 2000 videos in about 5 or 6 weeks. I was wondering how many videos I would need to reach a nice, steady, $50 a day

    The free iPhone offers are too common now - people have become wary of them because of the details that apply. I had a good run with these when they fiirst appeared but not any more. If you upload 50 of these you'll risk having your account deleted. Someone mentioned gift coupons earlier - these are a better bet but don't spam with loads of similar videos - it's better to have one good video for each offer and get it to the top where the traffic is.

    Since you made the videos already use content buzz to drive traffic to them

    Ideally I've found you want to have a low paying offer as they are generally much easier to convert.. then from there you need to match your niche with video..

    Start small by doing this, then scale from there.. this will be your key to success, work on your targeting.

    iphone niche is too saturated on Youtube! Looks like 10% of video marketers promote some phones un Youtube. I make good money with MMORPG offers, there are hundreds of new mmorpg games coming out every year. They pay 50c-5$ for every free signup!

    Another thing to consider is using video traffic to build a list...you can then still promote the offer, but you also have a list to work with now!!

    Just food for thought

    I think thats the beauty of this type of platform where it's completely driven and generated by the users...there is so much content in so many varying niches on you-tube that you can shape and mold it in anyway you'd like (to a certain extent)...

    One idea i was discussing with a publisher is similar to what Kenster said about using the video for other purposes, creating a list.

    the idea is this guy had a friend that was known in his town and adjoining towns for doing some pretty insane stuff when he drinks a little too much...pretty sure he was featured on the show Tosh. O where they showcase popular videos on You tube...he would jump off houses, dive from 6 stories high into pools, ETC...insane stuff and i'm pretty sure he'll end up in a hospital soon if not already but the point is the videos are appealing to a wide demographic...it's amazing how many people will sit there and watch others do outlandish things...so what we were talking about was uploading some videos...giving the you tube community a small taste of this guy....embed a link to collect their email (enter your email to receive updates every time (insert name) does something crazy) added some social media marketing to grow the list...blasted out to his list but placed a content locking script onto the forcing users to fill out an offer before they could view the videos in the email....

    may not touch the specific topic in this chain but just goes to show you the versatility of this source of traffic.

    Well, there has definitely been a lot of great feedback on here! Here's what I would do.... since you have already created these videos,

    1. do your keyword research. Use video shadow or the google you tube keyword tool to see what people are searching for primarily in you tube. Pick 3 primary keywords
    2. Use a good spread of keywords for all videos. You can overlap some.
    3. Post them all, 20 per account, use multiple accounts if you have to.
    4. Make sure that they are optimized by title with keywords in it as well as description
    5. Give them a few days and see which ones are getting the most views.
    6. Take those and start sending views, profile links, articles, get some likes, favorite the videos, etc. optimize the heck out of those.

    Hope that helps.
