Does Making Money from Viral Videos still work?

7 replies
Hi,
I am thinking of messaging those with viral videos on YouTube to put my link in their video description. In return, I will pay them around $20 for the favor.
My link will go to an affiliate website (either CPA, Amazon or Clickbank).

Could you please tell me the following:
1. Whether this method still works,
2. Any possible hurdles/challenges that I might face,
3. The best way to go about it.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

    Hi, this is Actually a great idea. yes it does work. My friend did that couple of months ago and got amazing results.

    The biggest challenge is to find relevant videos. ( That depends on your niche as well)

    The best way is to determine your target vids and send them an email with in youtube offering them $$

    This is called media buying and is great idea to boost your traffic.

    Thanks

    That's right - it's just a simple media buy. You're buying ad space. Instead of a link, if you could get the promoter to physically INSERT the endorsement inside the video, that would have higher conversion rates too. Or even a simple reference in the video works.

    Your offer has to be relevant though. Or people will go to your offer... but NOT click or carry out any kind of action. Basically, it becomes useless traffic.

    To Cassano 10;
    The click per viewers is going to vary greatly. I can get 50 percent or I can get 1 percent.
    Normally my clicks are not that high though. Usually always below 10 percent. I have tried alot of stuff and still working on it.
