I got a message in my youtube account from someone who like my game video guides.
he said he needs people who can make good videos such as myself to create the videos for their youtube channel.
Their website is stratics.com he says it gets alot of traffic.

And if I do agree they would upload my video under their name, but it will have my name in the description and I can announce my in-game name / real name at the start/end of the video.

But the thing is I don't see any benefits from it? and also I don't play the game at all. I just hired someone to make it for me. The video gets lots of attention and I have been thinking ways how to monetize it more.

What should I do?

    A lot of traffic is an understatement. Stratics.com is one of the best websites on the Internet for MMO game reviews, guides and demos. They are not limited to one game either. I would say get with them and see what type of offers they can make you for monetizing them. IF it is truly someone that works for Stratics.com and not someone just wanting to post your vids there to build their downline.

      Yeh they also may want me to write articles and his email is ***@stratics.com so I suppose it is legit.

      And also the position is voluntary he say. My only benefit is my name in the description and my in-game name / real name at the start/end of the video.

      What should I ask for offers? how do I monetize this?

    If it is voluntary say no. Your videos get way more play than most of the videos about Eve Online. I signed up for your email list and I have been seeing consistent follow ups etc. That's good.

    Your views are also on a big upward trend too.

    They want you to write articles and make videos for them? There is NO upside in helping them with this if all you get is "exposure." You are already doing a great job of that.

    Not to mention if you made more videos and you wrote articles for your own site and guide, you will be doing even better. So why work for free for someone else when you know you will make money if you just do it yourself? (or outsource it )

    Heck, if you promoted (PPC in YouTube) the video that does so well organically, you would see a lot more people jumping on your list from it too.

    SIDE NOTE: I would change your annotation you have on your video to call attention to the link in your description since you do not have a call to action within the video itself.

    If you got someone else to do the work on the Eve Online video and guide I would say start looking broader and duplicate your success to grow your list more. You seem to have a good idea of how to rank videos and what not.

    If you like we can discuss this more on Skype next week or something.
