Finger Spinners made me 10K in a few weeks!!

what is this man fidget spinner or finger spinner

Straight BS, Homie...

Sorry just saw this to answer the hosting I bought a plan back in 2010 it was a WSO for $19 a year the company was called hostdeal it was unlimited domains and data and never ad an issue

So as of this year a Canadian company dot Canada bought them out so things may have to change in OCT

I buy au domains through a friend from his business so i get them cheap
Hope that clears that up for you

You live in Oz? Like the Wizard of Oz? I don't get why taking down
a video just because views fell off. Just leave it up as a guide for
a marketer to duplicate your efforts. If you bought a new domain
for it, it should last you at least a year before it expires so why
not let the video ride for the next year? Maybe taking it down
draws some suspicion.

Why would you assume I know nothing about it? Anyway, I'm not going to trade insults back and forth with you, but if you'd like to have an adult discussion about this, then I'm happy to do that. Also, I don't think anybody called it a scam. I think a lot of people were just amazed at the kind of numbers you would have to put up to achieve that.

All I'm saying is that if you took the time to make the video and post it to YouTube then taking it down at any point makes absolutely no sense.

First of all, the fad is still going strong and it's still in it's early stages, so there is still plenty of money to be made from it. These things are still absolutely HUGE all over the world.

Second, even when a fad cools down, there will still be interest in that product for months and maybe even years to come. Leaving the video up on YouTube doesn't cost you anything. Even if you only made 1 sale a month from it it would still be well worth it to leave the video there. Whether it's $2 or $20,000, it doesn't cost you a dime to leave the video up on YouTube, so why leave that money on the table?

I honestly don't think I've ever heard of anyone putting in their time to make a video that makes 10K in a few weeks and then just taking it down. On top of that you made a squeeze page and created a guide. Maybe I am just an idiot who should "stick to blogging" because that logic just doesn't compute with me.

Following your logic, this would mean:

1. Buy a domain
2. Make a video
3. Create a guide/lead magnet
4. Set up a squeeze page
5. Leave it up for a month or so
6. Take everything down

Why would anyone do this? It's like wasting all of your hard work, even if it did make you money for a few weeks.

Furthermore, to make $10,000 in any way, shape or form selling these things (even if you were somehow achieving a 100% ROI) in just "a few weeks" is quite an amazing feat, especially if, as you stated, you were promoting them as an affiliate. The price point on most fidget spinners is quite low, usually less than $10. Unless, of course, you were promoting some that were 24K gold and encrusted with diamonds. Even then, if you were promoting from Amazon, the commission rate is what? 5%? 6% maybe?

Let's do a little bit of a breakdown. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that every fidget spinner bought through your affiliate link was bought for $20. I'll also bump up the commission rate to 7%. That means you made $1.40 commission per sale. So let's do the math:

Commissions: $10,000

Average commission per sale: $1.40

# of units sold to achieve $10,000 in commissions = 7,143

So you are claiming that from your YouTube video and squeeze page setup, you were able to sell 7,143 fidget spinners in 3-4 weeks? And again, bear in mind I'm being overly generous with the figures. I don't promote Amazon, so I'm not sure of the commission rate, but I understand it's around 4-5% for lower priced products. I also allotted $20 per fidget spinner (or finger spinner), and I know most of them sell for a lot less than that.

7000+ fidget spinners; sorry, finger spinners sold in a few weeks...

Well, I guess I have to give you credit then. That's simply amazing. I don't know how you were marketing that video/squeeze page, but it must be a truly incredible marketing method. I'd imagine you could make a ton of money simply teaching folks how to do that. Of course, you will probably want to keep that a secret. I know I would.

Surely you wouldn't mind showing us a screen shot from your Amazon account?

I would just love to be able to duplicate that kind of success.

I didn't say it should be removed. I just said it can't be replaced.

You can modify the video as you said, but when you re-upload it, it will have a different URL and you can't directly "replace" it on YT. Whether you should take down the original video or not would depend on how much it was changed. Personally, I would change it and improve it enough to justify it being uploaded again, then I'd leave the first video up and add a card and a note in the description for them to view the updated version.
