HIDDEN Niche Still Earning Me $50/DAY! Havent Touched it in 4 MONTHS!

283 replies
Just wanted to quickly make a thread to spill the beans on a highly interesting niche, that seems to be picking up steam as time goes on.

This frenzy started maybe a year ago and I immediately jumped on it and monetized it for CPA and earned some good money for a while. Now this is a stream of income averaging $50 per day from a BUNCH of youtube videos leading to a WP Page. What's the niche?

Music industry and the illuminati. The interest in this niche from the music listening audience is ridiculous. I have never heard something being brought up so often and for such a long period of time(1+ YEAR). Trust me, people who are actively into the music scene are addicted to this illuminati stuff for some reason. Everyone wants to find out WHO is in the illuminati and whatever.

Well all I did to monetize this is spent three full weeks pumping out videos and link building them. I covered just about every FAMOUS MUSICIAN that came to mind, simply asking the YT viewers to vote on if they think the artist is in the illuminati or not.

The video just contained a picture of the artist I targeted for that video and a few text slides. example (IS MILEY CYRUS REALLY APART OF THE ILLUMINATI? VOTE HERE!!)

I made about 500 videos each spotlighting a particular artist from hip hop, rock, r&b, pop, country, alternative EVERY genre possible.

Every video was SUPER simple and set up the same way.

In the description box I had a link to a WP page with a simple poll set up, the artists picture and "DO YOU REALLY THINK 'ARTIST' IS IN THE ILLUMINATI? LET US KNOW YOUR OPINION AND WIN A FREE IPOD TOUCH! Then have the YES and NO buttons lead to your CPA offer.

The IPOD TOUCH was just an example, I used MANY different offers from fast food giftcards, walmart giftcards, ipods, laptops, ringtones, tvs, etc. It's all about getting the traffic, since there is such a strong interest in this niche the conversions will be awesome, its just getting the traffic. Pumping out youtube videos are a great way to get traffic to your page.

This method still is very relevant and like I said, often get $50 days with this one method that I havent touched in forever. You should be able to find some keywords to target also as their are so many different ways you could go with it. I just looked up "illuminati killed tupac" and it has 700+ exact searches per month and only 56,000 searches returned! Im actually surprised at those numbers, theyre awesome, I might get on that keyword myself since most of you wont take action!!:p Google

Try to attack artists the are new to the industry, if you see a new artist starting to blow up, lock down "(artist) illuminati" ASAP and you will have autopilot money coming. EVERYONE thinks EVERY SINGER/RAPPER is a part of the illuminati so they are searching for info all day, every day.

I mainly focused on pumping out a lot of YT vids but I could have made a lot more money if I would had put some focus on SEO as well, and FB fanpages should do great with this also.

Hope you guys take something from this, I didnt really try to make a step by step guide on this, it's really simple. Have a go at this!!

      Very true!! There are SOOO many golden keywords out there you just have tobe creative and BREAK DOWN your niche, that keyword up there is AWESOME to monetize and only 60k returned results? Somebody better hop on that keyword lol thats a free nugget I ran into

    Congrats to the ppl who PM'd me about taking action with this niche, you a step ahead of everyone since you actually DID SOMETHING!!! Instead of responding to all of you, I want to say here, make sure you break down the niche to the smallest point possible. Variations are important with keywords, Like I said 'artist illuminati' is a good one, but how I used illuminati killed tupac was a different variation and turned out great numbers.

  • Profile picture of the author areevez
    Well I think showing you an actual video from those 300 videos would really be giving away the farm as far as the small personal tweaks not mentioned in this post. This post was just to give a quick outline of the method not to give away my EXACT methods as saturation can happen quick if you see the SPECIFICS. It's quite simple and easy, all videos were less than 20 seconds with a couple slides and a picture of the musician of your choice

        Thank You for the great method.

        I would also like to add that there are so many other niches except Illuminati to use it on. You can try , for example, " is ... healthy or not?" ,
        "Is ... better than ....?" ,
        " Does .... look more sexy than .....?" ,
        Just use imagination and ideas will come.

      It all comes down to being aware of what catches a buzz. After realizing how huge the illuminati thing was getting, thats when the idea hit to find some keywords, and back then when it first came their were hundreds of great keywords, Im sure there are still plenty golden keywords in this same niche, just like I found in the Original post.

    Great post, thanks for sharing!

    In fact, there are many "hidden" niches like this one, and we can find them by making some research on marketplaces like Clickbank and PayDotCom. In most cases, it's also possible to monetize the niches with PPC, because the CPC on Google and Microsoft AdCenter is low.

    I have one main niche that I make most of my money from, but, sometimes, I like to look for some gems like this for my PPC campaigns.

      Areevez,

      You have so many great ideas, I also purchased your WSO and I have one main question since it relates to some of your other streams.
      Most of the email/zip submits does not allow traffic from poll sites. For example description of email submit from MaxBounty:

      "This offer cannot be advertised through "poll" sites, craigslist or through iFraming. Cannot use trademarked names in splash page domains. Cannot use the term "win" to advertise this offer."

      What would you recommend?

      Thank you,

    Hey areevez,
    You are really clever! You should start expanding to new keywordes and playing with different niches.
    Just outsource on fiverr the video process to quicken the process My two cents.

    BTW, How many videos can you make on youtube before you get sandboxed?

      Hey Arron,

      I've got two more questions:

      1. Is The Message: "DO YOU REALLY THINK 'ARTIST' IS IN THE ILLUMINATI? LET US KNOW YOUR OPINION AND WIN A FREE IPOD TOUCH!" considered an incentive for the offer? Did you have to pick only offers that allow incentivized traffic?

      2. Did you upload the videos to just one YT account? And do you think there are risks to get banned from YT for uploading such videos?

      Thanks

        I would look at this like a poll method but using youtube to drive the traffic. It is only incentive if you offer something in return for completing the offer.

              ahh, yes. I was going to clear out that account tomorrow and put in higher quality videos with my new links, and then limit all future accounts to 25 videos. I was originally limiting my accounts at 100 vids, but this may be too high. Or maybe my videos really were just that crappy? Or a combination of that + seedy looking wp-easypolls landing pages? Did I appear too spammy?

              Really, it seems quality is going to be important, along splitting things up into multiple accounts so any damage done from losing an account is minimized.

    I am looking into this as something to try, but I was just a bit unsure the best way to backlink these? Creating the videos and landing page is easy enough but obviously getting it seen is another. any suggestions?

      The power of numbers really is what matters here, your videos will pick up steam, some will be winners some will not but as long as you pump out tons of videos you should be covered WITHOUT backlinking, I ran all the videos through dripfeed backlinks just to help out

      Will do. I scored a PERFECT youtube username/gmail address for this about an hour ago and I've almost got my video creation software configured. Its kind of a pain doing videos in Linux, unless there's something I'm missing.

      areeves, did you put any audio in the videos at all? I'm not sure if there'd be a point if the videos are 30 seconds or less, but who knows?

      Very nice! You're slightly ahead of me... I just put my first video up and to be honest I'm a little bit tired, so its naptime. However, now that I have a system for creating these down, shouldn't take me long to hammer these out later. It excites me to see you've already got a dollar after only 25 videos though. Gonna be a good night tonight.

    I would look at the new artist that are coming out but not yet main stream. When you go to the supermarket or book store, pick up a source mag, XXL, Vibe. They all got a section that shows the new talent coming out for that season. Mac miller, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Tinie Tempah, Wacka Flacka Flame, Donnis, Mike Posner. Just a few examples All these artist just came out and got crazy buzz. All but Wiz are still light way unheard of but got great buzz.

      One more question Arron

      Did you do any keyword research on the terms, I mean, did you leave out low traffic artists or anything?

      Or did you just pump "Eminem Illuminati" "2Pac Illuminati" "Michael Jackson Illuminati" etc. without giving a rat's tail about the traffic?

      Thanks,
      Trevor

      haha you are definitely right there. With only 25 videos up, i already have about 300 total upload views and on several of the videos there are some weirdos talking about how these artists are with the devil etc.

      Areevez, did you use multiple youtube accounts? Will youtube ban the account if they see hundreds of similar videos?

        LOL way to go! Yes I did use multiple accounts, 500 similar videos in a short amount of time seemed risky to me, so I made several different accounts. 15 if I remember correctly. I wasnt big on youtube before this method so I was just hoping that would be good enough and it was. Im not sure how many of those videos are still up but it's enough to earn me a residual income that hasnt let up for a while!

          Oh okay so I guess i will have to make another few accounts.
          Were you landing pages really simple? All I made was the header of "Are they really in the illuminati?

      Hey guys,got some questions:
      1)How does the voting page have to be?Like do you put a poll on it?Or just say "Do you..illuminati?".So that its meant to be about the musician they clicked in YT.

      2)Can a content locker work with this?I have a CPALead acc.
      Or cpaway.com is better?

        I dont think locking the content would be very beneficial, the layout is already set up for profits. You create poll on the page, not a REAL poll but like this.

        Is Drake really with the ILLUMINATI?? VOTE BELOW!!

            You don't have to create a new subdomain for each artist, although it probably wouldn't hurt. I'm sure you could easily just stick each one in its own directory, or just name each landing page "artist-name.foo" or something. I think one guy who is doing these is sending everyone to blogger pages and still getting conversions. I have one subdomain for all of my illuminati polls, and I have a single landing page that pulls in dynamic content from a database. I think areevez put up a different landing page for each artist. Its time consuming, but it does give you something to do while the video is encoding/uploading.

              Thanks for the info GrooveTrain. The thing about sticking each artist into its own directory or naming each landing page "artist-name.foo" seems like it's a little over my head. Any chance you can claried in this thread or PM me?

              I've read about how landing pages can be changed through programming, e.g., some clicks Artist-A link and Artist-A appears on the webpage and when someone clicks Artist-B, it changes to the Artist-B page. Is that what you are talking about? If it is, that type of programming makes no sense to me at this point. Anyway, thanks again.

                Also is it better to keep only the video's title as a tag, or include other relevant KWs?

                    Awesome post!

                    I got tired of waiting for you, so I decided to shrug off my laziness and just do the exact same thing.

                    I took a look at your code... have you thought about using a database and mysql? When you're using switch(), you're going to have to add more html and update that page every time you make a new artist, and this is just going to drive the page size up. Instead, try passing the page something like ?artist=0, where the variable is a number. Set up a database with an INT primary index. Use a search function to find the record corresponding to the ID. Call these records into variables, and then you can place these through your page. You will never need to update your landing page again, just add database records for each new artist. The primary index will auto-increment, so you just increase the number you pass the url by 1 each new video you post.

                    You can use the database to store the artist's name, the URL location of an image (which can be dynamically called into an image tag), and anything else you want. I have four things of "content" that go below my image that I use to do some "yellow journalism" and make illuminati accusations. I even keep track of the votes and display those on the results page above my offer in an iframe.

                    Here's my code: [PHP] dynamic script - Pastebin.com

                    Then you use echo to pull it dynamically into your content.

                    How many views is not many views?

                    When I had 70 vids, after three days I had about 600-700 views. Since I've restarted, I've only done four, but these have gotten 200 views in two days, because I made sure to start with the most popular artists that were getting views out the ass on my old account. Some artists are WAY more popular than others, and will get more views. Some artists are WAY less saturated than others, and will get more views.

                      The 80 videos have about 350 views after three days, with 20+ videos made each day. Which is slightly over 4 views per video, which I don't consider many.

                      Anyway, hopefully they'll be doing better after some time.

                        Yeah, just give it some time. No matter what, over time they WILL get more views. Long term thinking > short term thinking. Its just poker without cards.

                Alright. For simplicity, .foo and .bar are placeholders. .foo will represent a document filetype (eg. .html or .php) and .bar will represent a high level domain (.com, .net, etc.). So if you have a .com site, just pretend .bar is .com.

                subdomain.url.bar takes the user to url.bar/subdirectory. Just different ways of pointing to the same place. Just off the top of my head, here are all the ways you could feasibly set this up:

                Using a subdirectory/subdomain for each artist. Each full URL points to a different landing page, obviously, and you'd need to code each one:
                -artist1.url.bar, artist2.url.bar, artist3.url.bar
                -url.bar/artist1, url.bar/artist2, url.bar/artist3

                Using a single subdirectory/subdomain and just making a different page for each artist (all contained in the same directory). This would also work for dynamic pages:
                -subdomain.url.bar/artist1.foo, subdomain.url.bar/artist2.foo, subdomain.url.bar/dynamic.foo
                -url.bar/subdirectory/artist1.foo, url.bar/subdirectory/artist1.foo, url.bar/subdirectory/dynamic.foo

                subdomain.url.bar/dynamic.foo is what I am using.

                I've read about how landing pages can be changed through programming, e.g., some clicks Artist-A link and Artist-A appears on the webpage and when someone clicks Artist-B, it changes to the Artist-B page. Is that what you are talking about? If it is, that type of programming makes no sense to me at this point. Anyway, thanks again.
                Yes, that's what I'm talking about. There are plenty of ways to implement that. I chose to create a database and store all of my mutable content there, and dynamically call it into the page based on a query_string passed in the URL. If you think its over your head, its not. I knew exactly zero php and mysql before I started making my page, and I finished in about twelve hours straight of coding and sorting through tutorials and search results. :p

                I love coding and programming. I can't PM due to post count, but if anyone is interested in setting up a dynamic script, my IM screenname is just to the left of this post. I'll be glad to help any way I can, or link you to my page as an example.

                  Using a single subdirectory/subdomain and just making a different page for each artist (all contained in the same directory). This would also work for dynamic pages:
                  -subdomain.url.bar/artist1.foo, subdomain.url.bar/artist2.foo, subdomain.url.bar/dynamic.foo
                  -url.bar/subdirectory/artist1.foo, url.bar/subdirectory/artist1.foo, url.bar/subdirectory/dynamic.foo

                  subdomain.url.bar/dynamic.foo is what I am using.

                  Yes, that's what I'm talking about. There are plenty of ways to implement that. I chose to create a database and store all of my mutable content there, and dynamically call it into the page based on a query_string passed in the URL. If you think its over your head, its not. I knew exactly zero php and mysql before I started making my page, and I finished in about twelve hours straight of coding and sorting through tutorials and search results. :p

                  I love coding and programming. I can't PM due to post count, but if anyone is interested in setting up a dynamic script, my IM screenname is just to the left of this post. I'll be glad to help any way I can, or link you to my page as an example.
                  AWESOME POST Groove!!

    Also You can find examples of videos on youtube using this method by doing a simple search for your artist with illuminati in the search, then do a filter for that week to find other videos to get ideas. But don't bite them because some could be from e fellow warrior which I am sure it is.

    I'm very new to online marketing and this post has been an amazing help. Thank you for being so generous with this information! In terms of the magic keywords haha, how do you find the exact searches per month a term has? I just looked up a term with about 3,000 results.. now is that good or not? How do I find the searches per month?

    Thanks again!

      If you mean 3000 phrase results (with quotes around the term), that means very low competition, therefore a good one! If the term has only 3000 results without quotes, it's even better.

      For exact searches per month, you can use Google Keyword Tool, it's free. Just don't forget to choose exact on the left.

      Of course, for more detailed keyword research, there are also paid alternatives (Micro Niche Finder, Market Samurai, Wordtracker, and many others...), but as far as I know, they are all based on the Google Keyword Tool.

        Thanks so much for the reply. The 3000 (accidentally wrote 300) phrase results were with quotes around the term. I checked the top 3 sites that come up when I search the term and they aren't very good... I mean I know a site doesn't need to look good to be making money but those sites have no ads on them.

          You may also want to try another competition research tool - Traffic Travis. Though there is a paid version of the tool, you can use it for free for basic research. For example, you can put in your term and see how the top 10 results are optimized for it - whether or not they have the term in URL, title, H1, H2, meta description and tags, etc.

              Well, if you are using Mac (like I do), you may want to install Windows, as well. I think it is worth it from a long-term perspective, at least for me, because I use some Windows-only apps for internet marketing daily. I also run the two systems at once via Parallels Desktop, which is cool. However, the installation of Windows on my Macbook Pro was a real pain in the butt.

              You can also install Wine, which makes it possible to run .exe files on Mac. Before I installed Windows, I had been using it to run some Windows-only tools.

      I think this will decrease conversion rates, but if you are not willing to do the work, you can save a hell lot of time.

      You could make one landing page and script it so that all you'd need to do is pass it "&artist=whateverlinkidyouwannause" in the URL, so that it would cross-reference whateverlinkidyouwannause in a database/file and automatically populate the page with the artist's name and an appropriate picture along with your default landing page copy and offer links/rotation script.

      Now that you have the idea, if anyone ends up doing it, I'd very much appreciate the code via PM

      ^ This.

      I'm up to 63 videos. Still only the one conversion but I have over 800 views, and people are starting to say crazy things in the comments. If you haven't started making videos yet, make ten and see what happens. Make ten more tomorrow. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes to create a video, create a landing page, and get it up on youtube if you optimize your workflow, and the longest part is the uploading.

          "WTF! (artist) writes song that are for God, Jesus how he hell does it make her an Illuminati..."

          my favorite:
          "No she is not, she has mentioned them in interviews about how they don't like too see her succeed without them, not only that her and Michael before he died, knows how controlling it is and when Michael spoke up about it he is now murdered, (artist) knows she can't talk about it or she will end up like MJ!!"

        This is a weakspot that I've noticed since posting here, I never really pay much attention to other countries other than US because I know that if the offer Im using isnt available that my network will automatically forward them to an offer that fits for their country.

        And I saw my first conversion after my 10th video, I remember it like it was yesterday.

          10th... mine was at the 12th and someone else in this thread said theirs was on the 25th. I've had no other conversions since then and I'm up to 70 videos though. Did it take a while for everything to build up steam, or do you think i'm not seeing any more results because everyone on the forums is posting billboard top 200 illuminati videos now?

        On MaxBounty, they automatically switch the offer to one for the users country when they clip on the ad. So they will get something different, which could lower conversions, but they will be the possibility to get conversions at least.

        The illuminati aren't the only option, either. People are pretty obsessed with Bilderberg these days, as well. And obsession with the Freemasons never really dies down, either. Both are great groups to accuse people of being a part of, if you are worried about illuminati saturation.

For example this video with a call to action or poll in the description box.Is possible to generate leads with this method?

      Sure it can work, this isnt as targeted as illuminati stuff but it definitely can work, I used to do the same thing for ringtone offers a loong time ago. But if you have a bunch of videos your ready to create, this will bring some leads.

    WTH?? LOL that doesnt make sense. But I think you got hit because you had way to many vids on one account. But you said WP easy polls? Thats what you are using? I dont use wp easy polls, my polls are hand created with my own written text, and pictures of yes/ no buttons that lead to my offer.

      Hi guys, just a quick note, I've got a bunch of videos on now and what I see very often is, my videos are forbidden in certain countries, in Germany most of the time. I think it's because of the music that I include in the videos. I think a song by the artist that the video is about can increase CTR to my LPs.

      But what's weird is that some videos aren't restricted at all, whereas some can't be viewed in like 50 countries. Any advice to overcome this issue?

      Its what I WAS using out of laziness/simplicity. You know how it is... you're new and lazy (possibly desperate), wanna get stuff done. My new landing pages that I am rolling out today are much, much, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch nicer, and are completely hand coded, and get pumped out ten times faster. I'm probably going to be able to delete wordpress by the end of the week, once i move my PPC campaigns over. :p

    areevez,after I will upload 500 videos,and the number will increase steadily,you think that I could reach $50/day ?In my opinion the potential is huge,the video in my example have 2 milions views,if the conversion rate is 0,1% with an offer that pays 1$,this thing means two thousand dollars from one video like this.

      Definitely! Just put in the initial work and work smart and hard. It will pay off with a residual auto pilot income down the line!! DO IT!

    Sounds good to me. I recently started uploading like 5 youtube videos a day to attract viewers then bring them to my squeeze page. With the squeeze page set up for 1 day and about 20+ videos in the music category, I've gotten a total of 14 sign ups.. This youtube method works very well...

    I'm going to definitely try the CPA road.. thanks

        Hey guys,I've spend two days on setting up my site(for this niche),made 10 YT accounts,50 vids and what not!

        Also as promised I made myself a script to prevent making 50 different pages.
        So,here you go:
        http://pastebin.com/xXF0YPPw

        If you are familiar with PHP this will be a piece of cake,then you can load your database with images and make different combinations!Like,I would make a text temlate saying: Do you think [string name here] is in the..?
        While the string variable,will be the name of the artist and you will set it,depending on the "artist" value.

        For some help on GET method look:
        PHP $_GET Function then
        Then to use the script,type in the url bar: www.yourdomain.com?artist=eminem

        For users with further php knowledge:
        [PHP] //index.php <?php $data = $_GET['artist']; //Variable for the url $name = ""; - Pastebin.com

      Yeah I plan on buying a drip feed package, just as you did to support my videos.

      I just wonder, how many keywords did you roughly include for one video? I personally write down like five keywords for 1 vid most of the time. For example, if I'm making a vid about Chris Brown, I will include - The video's title, Chris Brown, new album, 2011, pop music... Or something like that. Any suggestions on improving this?

      I didn't even think to add any tags beyond "artistname, illuminati." Well, good thing I'm still only four vids in. I hate taking days off, but sometimes I'm just incapable of doing anything productive.

      I alter the length of mine so I don't have an account full of identical videos of the same length, but they stay between 15 seconds and 45 seconds.

        This reminds me of a good technique to hopefully increase CTR - let the videos run longer by letting the last slide go for several seconds, maybe up to 20 seconds... This may prevent some visitors from going to the suggested videos that emerge after your video has been watched completely.

          I remember hearing about this a while ago and though I didnt do it for this particular campaign, I have done it before and can attest it really works to raise conversions a bit.

          • I have still not had a chance to do many more videos (I think I'm just going to outsource it... I'm not happy with mine and its a pain re-doing all of these), but I have still been calculating my clickthrough rates.

            Total number of videos: 5
            Total number of views: 300
            Clickthroughs to landing page: 98 (but I suspect that at least 30 of them are from my own testing and allowing my friend to test his CMS software on my server. I really should have commented out my tracking while testing, but whatever.)
            Votes: 6
            Conversions: 0

            I'm fairly new to CPA, and I recognize this is a small sample size, but are these numbers around what you guys are getting? I feel as though the copy I stick in my video descriptions may be crappy. Or maybe the copy on my landing page is crappy. I feel as though more people should be voting if that many people end up on my lander. I mean, its a poll, right? You're going to at least vote, right?

      Sure.

      Here is my test page with a hilarious test name, test image, and test content that no one ever sees unless they pass id=0. I have up to id=5, so switch that around so you can see how things change dynamically.

      I would very much appreciate any feedback.

      If you want to see a results page (where the offer is kept):

      Code:
      http://the-illuminati-watch.your-opinion-matters.com/results.php?id=0
      Also, are you guys doing anything in your video descriptions beyond putting the link in? I've been adding a little bit of "content" before I post my link in the comments, like "Do you believe the rumors? Vote here! (link)"

      I wonder... should I try moving the link BEFORE the text, so that people don't have to click "view more" in the description to get to the link, or just get rid of that altogether? Or use tinyurl or something to try to force it to one line?



      Obviously, I want to try to find a winning combination BEFORE i have infinity videos and database entries to adjust...

            I certainly am biased, but I don't really like the grey background and the upper case words... What I do is I highlight the most important parts of the message (vote below, win ***...)

              I've read through all the pages and maybe I missed it, but I just wanted to ask a few questions about this particular technique if you don't mind?

              1. how long should the videos be?
              2. What's the basic structure to the videos? Example: 10 images of the artist in question, mixed in w/a few text slides of words like "illuminati", "hidden meanings", etc., etc.,?
              3. Could these videos be made using say Windows Movie Maker?

              Thanks for the feedback!

              I agree with you, and I've changed it a wee bit. Less words so its quicker to read. I don't even mention the offer until the results page anymore.

          What do you mean? Are you asking how I am keeping track of the votes?

          In each of my database entries for each artist, I have a field for "Yes" votes and a field for "No" votes. Mouse-over my buttons and you'll see that when you're being taken to "results.php" we are passing "?id=n&vote=___," where n is the current ID number for the artist, and vote is Yes or No. On the results page, it pulls up the database entry for the artist in question and then figures out whether or not we passed yes or no. it increments the appropriate field in the database, then stores that in a variable. I then have another variable that I use to store the result of a proportion function i set up to calculate the percentages, rounded to the nearest decimal place.

          On the results page, I just have a div at the top and an iframe below that stretched out to 1600px so it wont cut anything off.

          Is that enough, or do you need the source code?

              Yeah I was just trying to shave a few corners because changing out 50 (and counting) artists polls CPA offers once they go bad would take forever. I'll go try your way and see what will happen.

                Whatever you guys do, don't put up videos on Alicia Keys. Keeps getting rejected for terms of use violations. No other videos get that result for me. Anyone else experiencing this?

      I'm up to 150 videos now, still only two conversions, I wonder if I'm doing something amiss. Some of my videos, even when I load them with keywords, don't show any suggested videos on the right, is that ok?

      And I almost always get an error message when uploading my videos: "Failed to set the reuse type to the selected value." I hope this doesn't do any harm.

      Any opinions?

    • So, without backlinking anything and with 75 total videos up, I get an average of 16 clicks/day to my landing page, and about 53% of those people actually vote. Are anyone's stats similar to this? If I keep scaling it like this, then when I have 500 videos, I should be getting 120 clicks/day. This seems like a very low number to me, considering 50-55% vote (60-65 votes/day?). I don't see how that could make me $50/day. Maybe $1-2/day. Unless I am missing something, which I probably am.

      @areevez: when you did your backlinking/drip feeds, what did you link to, your landing pages or your videos?

        @areevez: when you did your backlinking/drip feeds, what did you link to, your landing pages or your videos?
        Grovetrain are you using some of the free YouTube viewers out there, sometimes you have to think outside the box buddy, if you have taken the time to setup 75 videos one would think you would take the time to work out other techniques of marketing them.

        Let me give you an example I use YouTube and needed to bump my videos up, so I used Google which is my best friend and typed in free YouTube video viewers, after some digging around I found these ones listed below.

        1. Vagex.
        2, Viewet.

        Vagex gets me not only views but comments, subs, likes, you see what I did there I thought outside the box, in fact after some digging around I was also led to Fiverr.com.

        That place is crazy good if you need cheap services example once more listed below:

        1, I will get you unlimited REAL human youtube video views for $5
        2, I will give you 2500 unique youtube VIDEO views plus 250 video likes and 100 subscribers all real people no bots best Youtube gig on fiverr for $5
        3l I will deliver at least 15 000 unique Youtube channel views for $5
        4, Backlinks

        Also if you need decent backlinks try this out you can find them yourself, simply by tying in simple footprints in to Google to find more .EDU and .GOV blogs where you can get links. Use the following search strings but where it says "keyword phrase" Be sure to change that to one of the keywords relating to your blog or website, leaving it inside quotation marks.

        "keyword phrase"+inurl:blog site:.edu
        "keyword phrase"+inurl:blog site:.gov


        Tips Pay no attention to PR. The .gov and .edu is far more important to the serps, this is a common mistake some people make when trying to rank up.

        Common Sense

        Comment on these blogs. Be informed, be kind, and stay on topic. Doing a couple minutes of research and posting relevant helpful information will increase your success tenfold.

        At the very least, put some thought into a contextual post that fits in with what is being discussed. If you don’t do this, you may completely waste your time.

        Once you have used this method and commented simply bookmark the site/blog, then go back and check up to see if your comment was approved in a day or two, remember you MUST really think about what your going to post, make your comment relevent to the topic in hand. Think outside the box common sense goes a long way in SEO.

        Now after you have read this comment you should be jumping up and taking some action, stop asking yourself why? and simply get up and do!

    Hi Guys

    Just a quick update based on my call of action with this niche so far, I have created the blog and purchased the Domain "Illuminati Killed Tupac" > Illuminati Killed Tupac Last night I setup the poll as you can see on my blog.

    I have not even started with the SEO yet and woke up to find this> http://localhostr.com/file/GczgP0I/submits.PNG I am the kind of person whom acts straight away when something looks good and I can tell you that this looks very good indeed.

    I have only just found a business to purchase my auto e.mail service at a very cheap cost, my next plan of action is to think about a nice auto e.mail response to get my submitter to complete the real offer.

    Well that is how far I have got so far I shall report back within the next few days with my progress, the good news is that I have software for YouTube which gets me unlimited videos views. I also own software which creates Likes, Comments, Subs, Favs, and best of all Accounts on top of that which really helps.

    My main focus is to rank up on my Domain name which is getting plenty of searches, I have some services to use from Fiverr to gain some rank and other methods, this will save me having to use YouTube perhaps but not sure yet. I may just use both SEO and YouTube because more is always better.

    Edit: I have noticed some WF members adding e.mails, you might want to not use the same e.mail as your WF username reference guys, that gives it away ever so slightly I think you would agree

    "Hi Aaron, I just wanted to sned you this email because I found one of your threads in the cpa section about the music industry and the illiminati. I have been strugglign with cpa for more than 8 months and haven't mad a dime until I tried the method you gave the forum and I finally made my first dollar on the internet, actually $211.34 so far exacty! Just want to say thanks so much for your post and I have boughten you last 3 wsos, I am finally starting to get things"

    Sorry for the mispellings, I wanted to copy and paste the email exactly...I sent a mail to my list the other day about this method because I want to get back into it and target movie stars, and athletes as well since i only used music artists at first to find success. Just wanted to dig this up to help any newbies who are struggling to make their first money online. This is still working for ppl!

    I dont speak or anything during the video, it is just simple video with some optional music playing. It's more important to focus on the number of videos you create. I use animoto to create my videos and I have gotten pretty good and doing videos quickly. Animoto is dead easy already and once you get used to it it will allow you to pump out LOTSSSS of vids.

    500 videos? 10 cents per vid? I think my time is better spent with ppv, media buys or ppc platforms.....It's a nice way to make money, but at 10 cents a day per video....it's nice, but it's like article marketing......now if you have SENuke to market your videos, well maybe thatll make it worth it, but like I said, seems like a headache for what the return is. Of course, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Maybe if you make a WSO, you can prove me wrong, lol. Either way, seems legit, just not for some, unless of course you outsource like crazy.....lol

        It probably still works, but you have to remember that this is a numbers game, so you have to take some precautions, including using separate Youtube accounts and not having more than 50-100 videos per account. Youtube has gotten pretty "deletion-happy" with these "thin" affiliate videos and has gotten into the habit of deleting videos (and accounts) randomly.

    Yeah and infringement as well. I was thinking 25 per account. I've just never run a survey offer or set up a website like this before. I think using the code posted, I could figure it out so it is a one pager that changes based on the link followed. Most all of this is stuff I've never done, actually.

    Being a numbers game, would 5 to 10 cents per day per video on average be a conservative estimate or high?

    Will need to find what CPA offers I have, don't require email confirmation. I assume those are the offers used? And being most of this stuff I've never done, will need to do some learning, but seems like it could be a really fun side project that could provide some residue income after a few hundred videos lol.

    And I thought of a niche that would great for this, that was red hot over the past couple of years. Could still have some juice in it.

      Well, if you're doing simple Animoto-type videos I don't think copyright infringement enters the picture, but Youtube is looking for videos that actually have some sort of value for its viewers, and we all know that these quick and dirty videos are nothing more than a blatant plug for some affiliate/CPA offer.

      I think 5-10 cents per video is a pretty conservative estimate, especially if you target the more lucrative niches.

      I'd go after the simple email and zip submits, the simpler and more attractive the landing page looks, the better it'll be for you in terms of conversion. Don't waste your time going after the higher payout offers that make you jump through hoops and/or require multiple pages to be filled out, the average Youtube browser has the attention span of a 5 year old and this would be too much for them!

    I found someone's account, videos uploaded in July, most around 2-3k views. Some under 100. One over 500k (bought views?). No link in videos. Looked like a real quick job.

    A niche to jump on for those still doing this: NBA is back! Trades happening, Chris Paul trade blocked, etc. Could do some quick videos on those things. Did David Stern screw Chris Paul? Go vote! Or add in the more viral questions on it.

    Would love to hear from anyone who might still be doing this or seeing passive income.

    I have a different approach or spin to put on this idea, which will be time consuming, so just hoping to hear it is still working. My goal would be 5 cents a day per video / poll as passive income, which I'd be happy with and make it worth the time. But sounds like if I put a little effort in to making good videos it could be much more (which is the plan).

    So anyone still having luck with the method? Those who really took it on in July, how'd it work out? Also understandable if you don't want more competition, and think I'll be going for it anyway, once I learn how to make good videos, LOL.

    Well I decided to just "screw it" and jump in. Made two videos, first one has been up for 6 hours. About 15 views. Second one has been up for about 4 hours and at about 60 views. That surprised me. And I actually made good, valuable videos that took too long. And so far.. 0 votes. On the bright side, 100% percent of the people who voted also converted.

    Sorta feeling like I did come to this party late.. but maybe tomorrow if things haven't changed, I'll just try to quickly make a bump of crap ones and see if they do better. So far at least, had fun making the videos and I've gotten one rating too! A thumbs down!

    Nope. I mentioned the niche in my previous post. It is red hot right now, so decided better to jump in while it's burning. I can also change things around later, can't take advantage of it if I wait though.

    The one video is up to 110 views. All organic. 2 votes.. so come Monday, if nothing improves, I'm gonna say this niche isn't good for converting. Or bad offers. Going to try a couple of more videos with other types of offers.

    Also note for those: Don't mention the name of the item in the video. Add that as a note, through youtube. That way if you need to change the offer, you can do it easily.

    Really interesting and inspired idea for keywords researching, and many guys ask how to find "Golden keywords", actually when they decide which niche to run and dive into it, those "Golden keywords" will come to find them.

  • Profile picture of the author Alexander K
    What do you call golden keywords that don't sell? LOL

    I actually have a video up of something that hasn't happened yet, but seems like it will.

    Hopefully I'll have good news in the morning. Would like to see just one at least (wouldn't be my first CPA lead, just first with this method).

    Good post Arron, always informative and to the point. I know a few people using this method now.

    So.. still no conversions from my testing so far. Only 4 videos, put 2 up late last night. 326 video views, only 7 poll votes. And MaxBounty has been down (so maybe I would have had a conversion or two, people can actually get the offer without voting..).

    So either this isn't working yet or MB has cost me.

    But I do think I went with the wrong Niche (even though it's really hot right now, since the viewers don't vote) and made videos too high quality. Although with the niche and level of videos, I knew of some highly trafficked areas I could promote them.. but.. what's the point if the CPA network is down?

    Might try another niche and quickly made videos (which would be awful) for further testing. But.. can't do anything until I'm in a new CPA network, which.. we all know how long that takes. And the "hotness" of the niche I just wasted hours on could be cooler by then. Really disappointed.

    Seems I'm posting in a ghost town.

    One video brought it 2 conversions yesterday. Same video had 300 views about 7 hours ago, it now has over 800. No idea how that happened, but that is the point of this method. Unfortunately, it looks like none of those 500+ views even clicked through to the poll website.

    No votes or comment. So who knows if they were even real.

    This is the part that confuses me, how do you create buttons that lead to a cpa offer and not have that be blackhat? Lets say i created a poll and linked people to a cpa offer from maxbounty in the yes or not button, wouldnt this be misleading?

    You are telling people to vote, to get the offer. So it isn't misleading.

    Question: Copyright.

    The polls and videos use images of famous people. I assume no one purchased the photos used.

    Couldn't this cause some big problems if a famous person wanted to sue? Or the owner of the image if they found out?

      This happens SO rarely, usually they will just DCMA you and tell you take it down. The cost to actually sue you costs more then what they can get from you.
