Affiliate marketing makes me happy (my success so far)

    Yep, it's making happy.. even these days during a downtime in this financial crisis. Anyway, being an marketer you have to creative so you need to anticipate to the market. Analyze your playfield and keep on moving and searching. Again; always keep moving, otherwise you won't go forward! I started a thread lately (see here) about mentioning my success in Youtube and asking some advice about the best strategy to keep my #1 positions in Youtube.. and yeah you may guess it; I got slapped in my face and annoying people that did not believe I was so successful with Youtube marketing, but what the hell.. I am doing this for myself, not for anyone else though. After all I found out myself what I asked and have my know-how now.

    Anyway, my post is getting a bit too long, and I don't want to get you bored with my boring talk. I just wanted to show you some screens of my success with Youtube and affiliate marketing because it DOES work. People that are telling it's a myth are smart since they don't want to get all the players in their field. Believe me; there is lots of space for lots of people since there are such a lot of niches. Oh damn, I am talking too much again.. check out my screenies and hopefully it will motivate you.. just be creative and don't stop. Just do the right things and just do it.

    Check out my screenshots below, and yeah about the revenue screenshot: too bad it's not my daily revenue, (sorry guys, I just don't have the $1k/day yet like some people are showing here) but I am so motivated that I can achieve that in 1 day some day, patience is the key.

    Youtube success:

    The huge success which I have 5 vids of them with similar stats (currently generating almost 1 million of views/day, note: this is just 1 video):
    [​IMG]

    Always doing an extensive research before you start your campaign, so I try to choose the best possible niches which succeed most the times:

    PS. I have to divide this post in a few posts

    But however it won't succeed every time, I'm just being honest and sometime it fails.. well, not really, but it went a bit lower but I think it's due the weekend (remember every niche is different with a totally different audience, so also a different behaviour of browsing the internet):
    [​IMG]

    But it's still appearing well in the search results so it's just a matter of patience.. sometimes during the weekends you can earn 200% more, and sometime you can lose 200%:

    Well I hope I inspire you all a bit and remember one thing; never stick on one niche, because there is really a lot to find out and maybe some day you will regret it that you have paid attention to just one niche when you will discover a new niche few month/years later.

    Good luck and hopefully you can show your stats here as well some day like I do. Unfortunately I cannot show $1,000 a day revenue yet, but this is just reality of my experiences.

    Newbie questions are welcome, since I do not consider myself as a real professional yet I just can help newbies on track.

    thanks for your reply, but duplicating my success is not the right strategy. Duplicating A success is always good, but you have to do your own "thing". If you can be more specific I possibly can help you on track.

    Thanks

    Duplication works wonders :) Many ppl became quite well off by simply duplicating the actions of those who know how to make money.

    How do you monetize the youtube traffic? Thanks.

    Hi there, well I monetize my Youtube traffic with affiliate programs. There are so many affiliate programs around, but not all of them are that good. Choosing the right niche and the right affiliate program did the trick for me for making some good revenue lately.

    Hi yessica, yes of course.. it's very important to target everything well. So you MUST have a video related to your niche to achieve maximum results. Keep in mind that is should be "related" not "similar". getting leads for a car insurance during a highlights video of a recent soccer match does not bring the conversions since 1. soccer is most watches by Europeans, car insurance offers are more profitable in the US. 2. the topic is not related.

    So what you should do is really think outside the box and use your creativity and imagination to get the right traffic to your targeted niche and that will bring you the revenue (once traffic is coming, that's another issue).

    Hope this helps..

    frankly I am not a big fan of all that kind of tools like you are offering. I prefer to work manually on my promotions, working sophisticated will takes a lot of time, I know, but the results are worth it. Getting honors for a video is not an added value in my opinion, at least not in my success. Of course my videos got honored, but it's not the thing that makes you successful. Believe me I get millions of views so I know where I'm talking about.. it's all about getting into the right niche and monitor it, if it's not working, just step to the other and go on..

    Which software do you use for creating these youtube videos?

    From your experience,which video will get more views,a video with only let's say 2 related tags or a video with 15 tags.

    Thanks.

    I keep having a hard time converting traffic into sales. I feel that the affiliate niches are good ones, but getting the sale is still the problem. I have tried to find "new" top niche products at Clickbank and then use Adwords to get it off the ground, but I still lose more than I make. It is discouraging.

    I agree with you, that's why it's important to drive massive traffic to your video in YT. I have my know-how to do it and can achieve it relative fast. But although it's still risky since YT is Google and Google = smart :) That's why I prefer not to use all those automated traffic generators and stuff like that. YT will delete your video and you risk your account to get banned. The key is to be patienced and monitor it, if it's not working, move on to the next one.

    I agree with you. But what matters is the degree to which you can copy someone. It will be difficult for any of us to copy exactly what a millionaire marketer is doing. Not even after reading his ebook.

    In real world things, we see the Chinese simplying faking all the brands - not a single niche and not a single brand is spared.
