How I Took a Group Of Complete Beginners to $100 a Day In 20 Days

60-120 dollars a day in 20 days

the visitor count was anywhere from 100-300 a day

yeah I would love to hear your results

how is sharing valuable info with people interested in the niche spamming?

Thanks for the idea

I will research a niche very extensively, usually a day or two, just so I can provide unique and valuable content that will actually educate the viewer in some way.

if you wanted to you could even pay a writer. you want to always make sure you are educating the viewer in some way. if they feel they have learned someting from your video your responses will be much higher.

So I guess writing and submitting 5 articles per day/week to the article directories is also "spamming" the article directory sites?

And adding relevant tags(keywords) is bad for SEO as that would actually drive targeted traffic to the article/video?

Wow, that doesn't make sense at all.:confused:

When everyone and anyone get access to a tool like youtube, it's bond to get flooded with low quality stuff, and the definition of spam changes at this point. You can't expect to see it all nice and clean with high quality contents ... there are lots of crappy videos on youtube that have been posted with no intentions of driving traffic to anywhere, usually thats the kind of stuff that bothers me.

Nick, really nice info. I think digitalproductreporter just read your post incorrectly. You mention uploading custom created, unique videos, but using the tags of already popular videos - which is completely legit and something we all do with our keyword research. He probably thought that you downloaded their videos and uploaded them again under your account.

yeah it's always easier to try and break someone down then actually build yourself up,


I believe it's called "envy"

it's too bad some people would focus all their energy on breaking someone down than actually applying the knowledge and make some money themselves

your welcome I plan to keep cranking out really good advice.

I have some more powerful and effective methods I will be sharing in the future.

I love that reaction.

I strive to give away info that people will actually pay for...

didn't really plan on it, but if enough people want to see me in action with some screen cams I might consider it.

by popular demand only

I would say 100 per niche, from my experience. 5 videos a day for 20 days,, so it's doesn't become a daunting task.

5 videos a day gives you a good achievable goal each day and something to build and focus on each day

I think Omar is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!

Take that times 30 and you will be set for life! Most posts are very informative but they are lacking the final details. In this economy, if you have the knowledge, take a warrior under your wing and you both will be doing very well.

No need to sell a WSO for $17, hook up with a fellow warrior, have a contract signed, teach them what YOU know, make them make $, you take a 50% split FOR LIFE.

What ever other recurring income will beat that? Seriously, I AM UP FOR GRABS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, just PM me, lol. :p

Come on, I am ALL yours, lol.

One thing that is worth mentioning is that if you are submitting 5 articles a day it might be wise to do so with different accounts and maybe even proxies?

YouTube is cracking down a bit and have been known to delete a profile or 2

I've never tried this method exactly, but it looks like the key to pulling it all together is finding the buying keywords with the YouTube Keyword tool...

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work and might even give it a go for the next 20 days maybe

From this thread it seems you get the moaners, advisors, talkers and the doers.

For the moaners about youtube you don't know what you talking about as seems all the videos provide information rather than junk and if you knowledge on youtube is true then 50% of the videos must be removed

For the advisers the OP appears to be the best here so take his advice

For the talkers stop talking and become doers

For the doers I have some spare space in my bank account if you want to share your bounty

Nicholas thank you sharing this it is good stuff. I am not to good on videos and will perfect that soon and give it a go. Any possibilty sharing some of the videos you did to get a general idea how you made the video but If you dont want I will understand

here is a video example from one of my students who just started a few days ago

Youtube don't like blatent promotional videos (especially still images with music promoting a product).

This strategy is not long term - think about it, if YOU were youtube would you want this sort of thing clogging up your system?

You can do some variations on this theme however, and if you send the video out to many video sites - you'll also do well in the SERPS, so it's not a dead method.

Andy

I wonder if someone from here.... reported it to YouTube and referred them to this thread.

Nicholas...

Thanks for the step by step. Really good info.

Since there seems to be some concerns regarding the current effectiveness of this strategy, I would really like to see a case study provided as a WSO. It is hard to find good solid info based upon factual case studies that show strategies on how to effectively promote videos.

Thanks,

Jim

One thing I love about Warrior Forum is that somebody is always testing a concept to the limit. This method may not be a good long term idea, but it demonstrates the power of video marketing. A bit of tweaking and more modest use of YouTube integrated with a campaign of article marketing and social media techniques and you could have a pretty nice lasting income stream. Even if you have to settle for less than $100/day (which probably wouldn't last long), you could doubtless reach a worthwhile income for a long period.

One thing I've noticed about Internet marketing is that the kids who play by the rules seem win more over the long term.

"the holidays are coming so get cracking.'

Precisely.

This is KILLER info

I gotta raise my beer mug to that

Where ever there is media there will be ads, that's just a fact of life! Deal with it!

Seems to be that whether it's spamming or not is down to whether you provide some solid content or a pile of jizz.

If you're essentially uploading useful videos explaining how to resolve a problem and you have a product which can further solve the issue, seems fine to me.

If you're just uploading utter tat in a misleading fashion and they don't benefit at all from the video then it's just plain spamming.

Seems like you could provide quality information in video format and make it a fairly viable business model that's evergreen if you choose the right markets.

Categorize spamming

I have yet to see a method of IM which isn't - whether it is posting 10 adwords ads reading differently all selling the same thing or 10 free "ads" all selling the same thing - or ten articles or whatever - once again - define spamming.

Google defines spamming as uninvited bulk email or worthless content or hoax

Profit on the net requires massive action for massive results

Categorize spamming - if someones content leads me to the product I want how can that be spam ?

this is the way to go for sure in video

There is always going to be controversy around any method like
this one.

My view on it is, to each their own. Your choose how to run your
business, I will choose how to run mine and take responsibility
for it.

There's so many people worrying about whether or not what someone
else is doing is "spammy" or "unethical" etc...I say who cares.

Like I said, you should take responsibility for your own business.
Plain and simple. Worrying about someone else's methods doesn't
make you any money.

With that said, props to the OP for posting this. I use methods
like this across many video sites(hint: Tube Mogul). They work
great and are easy as hell to do.

Once you make some money off of it, start outsourcing it and
you will see your earnings go through the roof.

Good job OP. Keep it up.

I don't see how this can be seen as Spam.

If you look at the video he provides good quality information for the market he is in.

Granted the pictures are the same, but that shouldn't matter - it's the content that determines whether something is Spam.

If you think this is Spam, then the only difference between this and someone filming themselves talking about the same topic is the fact that you see a moving person instead of the same person.

I think it's the content that really determines if something is Spam or not!

Haha, you know what digitalproductreporter? I'll go ahead and claim that one; this Youtube account was actually the test account I set up to test out Nick's methods, since they seemed damn awesome. Here's what I did:

1. I researched the dating/relationship market
2. I made a list of the more prominent problems I found in forums and such
3. I cross-referenced those problems I found with the bullet points on sales letters and ads to verify they were more broader problems, which would indicate it would be content that would help one in this market (i.e. they would benefit from the quick video)
4. I researched videos and articles on these problems to ensure I was providing adequate solutions and not spammy content
5. I made the videos, using a static image I found from a PLR picture site

...And guess what? All that didn't take long at all. I devoted less than a couple days to this and stopped after only 9 videos, which didn't take long at all to do either.

I made a $100 sale from it, which I think is pretty cool considering I didn't put even a fraction of the time needed to make it work into it. If I did, I'm sure I'd be at $100 a day now, no doubt about it. So I can personally vouch for the fact that this method is viable.

Now, I'd like to address the interesting idea that you hold this to be spam (and blatant, horrible spam at that, from how you went on about it). Let me quote you:

Harsh. However, in the videos I made, if I didn't:

-research the niche first,
-cross check that research to make sure I was obtaining viable information
-double cross reference that with solutions offered on sales letters of products that actually sell
-sift through forums and other places for problems people are actually having
-give away solid content in each video addressing those problems; not even leaving the video "useful, but incomplete" and instead offered valuable content...

...then yes, I'd think it was spam too. But apparently because I drop a link to my squeeze page and use a static image (which was recommended in the OP anyway), AFTER giving away solid content, I'm spamming? Cool, man.

You're obviously someone who either doesn't understand this, hasn't tried it or won't try it. I don't care which one you are, and what your opinions are don't really bother me. I know the effort I put into this to make sure the content checked out, and I know it's a valuable method. I'm not normally an ass, but I'm under the impression that as long as I give away solid content that people actually want (and that I've researched it to find that's indeed the case), then I'm actually solving problems. If I drop a link to my squeeze page at the end or happen to mention it, it's always after I tell them something of value.

This isn't spam. If you think it is then this method obviously isn't for you. There's nothing wrong with that, just move on. No need to be a bitter buffalo. Also, I probably won't revisit this thread, so a reply on your behalf isn't entirely necessary.

I know this works first hand, and I feel as though given the attention I put into my content that I gave away in the videos, this is by no means spam. I also resent the fact that you obviously didn't listen to the content in the videos before posting a reply. I know you didn't because you'd probably have a different opinion, as the person who posted a reply to your comment directly below yours so kindly pointed out.

As to this comment on traffic/views: from other niches I've applied this to, I can honestly say that the traffic starts to snowball as you add more videos. With only 9 videos, I can have the best tags in the world, but that's really only less than 2 days worth of work. That's not nearly enough time or energy spend on it, and the results are obviously going to sub-par. It's all a numbers game in the end: the more videos you put up, the more views you'll get. If I did this for a week straight, as in 5 videos/day for 7 days, I'd have 35 videos instead of 9. I'd get more traffic.

Don't expect amazing results on something you half-ass for less than 2 days. That seemed to me to be one of the main points in your original comment, since you saw fit to bold it and all, and it's ridiculous since Nick very obviously said to make a minimum of 5 videos a day for 20 days (or something similar). If you do this for 2 days and quit, you're not going to see results. Fortunately, I did, but it's not typical. You need to invest more time into it.

If I'm testing conversions, why would I view the videos myself?

Actually, at this time I can say this "idea/spam" is worth exactly $100. That would be more if I applied more time to it and hit the minimum Nick recommended for seeing decent results.

So there's my soapbox. If anyone wants to try this, I'm telling you it works. There will of course be people that shoot it down and say it's unlikely, but the only way to know is to test it, right? And thanks to Nick for telling me about this, as it can and should be applied to any niche you're currently in.

Rock on.

A lot depends on the viewer's definition of 'valuable information' here. The viewer's definition, not the marketer's.

A marketer may think they're posting valuable information by describing the contents of whatever they're peddling. The viewer may think it's just another sales pitch with no usable content, posted solely for the purpose of drawing a sale. Using a loose definition, in their eyes, it's spam.

You see the same split right here on the forum. Someone, usually new to the forum, makes a post about how Product X solves a problem and includes a link to a sales page. The poster gets infractions, the post gets reported and deleted, and the poster comes back complaining that their post got deleted even though it gave 'valuable information' by the poster's definition.

Another example is offering 'free sample chapters' from a book or ebook. Many times, those sample chapters are a rambling bio of the author, an emotionally loaded description of the subject, and a preview of the rest of the book. In other words, a variant of a sales letter. While complying with the exact terms of the offer - three chapters - there's no meat. Not even 'useful but incomplete.'

In my (so far untested) opinion, this model should work like gangbusters if executed well. Based on a lot of the videos I've seen lately, that is one humongous if.

Wow, this has become quite the thread...I for one thank Nicholas for sharing this information! (where did he go by the way?) I haven't really been using video in my promotions yet, but in reading this strategy, I'm thinking it's time to start and put this info to the test.

Thanks, Nicholas.

I'm a Scooby subscriber! I can't believe he's 48!

And what's the deal with the hat?

I'm 39 and out of shape, so I've got some work to do. Hhmm...wonder if there's an info product in there somewhere.

finally somebody who took action on it, everyone has been wondering if I up and vanished.

I was waiting for somebody to actually do it and post their results.

I know this works and so do many of my students.

care to elaborate on the type of results you are getting.

these are very typical results

if people would stop crying and bashing the methods a lot of people would be making this amount by now.

congrats. the smart ones like you will take action and make money.

I am not worried about the spam comments I know what I am doing is not spam.

11 days of work and 50-to-150 unique visitors per day and all you've gotten is $56?...

I wonder why people wont invest that effort in actually creating an IM business instead of spamming the hell out of YouTube with videos that will get banned sooner or later.

Do 60 more! And switch it with CPA offers instead of hard-to-convert affiliate sales.

must be doing something wrong read through the posts some people are making 200 a day already
