In the past couple days, I have seen a few people talking about a method to make some easy money fast with ringtone CPA offers. The funny thing is I have been using this method for a little while now. I wanted to keep it a secret, but since some people are talking about it now, I will share it.(*note* I know for sure that i am not the only one doing this, so i take NO credit for coming up with this.) The method involves using music videos from popular artists and adding an offer for a free ringtone. here's what i do: 1. Download a music video from a popular artist. it doesn't really matter who. there are so many artists in so many genres. r&b, rock, punk, dance, techno, classical, whatever you want. the opportunities are endless. just pick a popular artist and you're good to go. 2. Using a video editing software, add your watermark to the video with your url for the affiliate offer with something like "Get This Ringtone For Free Now at www.youraffiliateurl.com"( i recommend using a redirect) i put a watermark at the beginning and end of the video. you can choose when you want it shown, but i find the start and end works the best for me. 3. Re-upload the edited video to your YouTube account(i recommend having a few accounts;especially if you are uploading lots of videos.) Make the title something catchy, but use the artist's name and song title in the video title. Something like, "Blink 182-All The Small Things. This video cracks me up everytime!" Just be creative and catchy. 4. Make the description of the video " Get This Ringtone For Free at http://youraffiliateurl.com" or something like to that effect. 5. Make sure to tag your video appropriately. For the Blink 182 example, tags would be blink 182, all the small things, blink...etc etc. You get the picture. 6. Go to other upload videos of the same video/artist as you've chosen and leave comments. This will get others to come see your vid. That's it. This is a very simple yet effective method that can make you some quick cash. It all depends on how many videos you upload and how many viewers you can get. I have had a videos make me $100+ in a day from one video. Just make sure you don't spam. Also, use multiple Youtube accounts will help keep you from getting flagged. If an account does get flagged/deleted, all your vids aren't just in one account.
I think the way you are recommending it is great only taking somebody else's videos. Isn't it against copyright law?
sorry. i will clarify this. using watermarked vids can get your video banned because of copyright laws, so use at your own risk. if you are uneasy about using watermarked videos, just upload the music video without a watermark, but you will have to rely on your description for people to click through to your offer. you can choose whatever method you prefer.
this is a nice method of doing it and you can apply this method for anything you promote just find a video for teh product you promote , edit video insert your link then upload on youtube.a good software to edit the video is camtasia studio
It's funny that this is like the 5th time I see this guide on webmaster forums...anyway it's a good money making idea.
It sounds like a fantastic idea, but I'm afraid the copyright law will kill it real fast. There will always be somebody out there who will tell about what you are doing. Maybe put a spin on it, though? Contact old video submitters who were successful back then, and ask them if you can do it on their videos. Then bring the videos back as "An Oldie But A Goodie" type thing???
is it worth something? it's worth anywhere to $50-300/day for me depending on how hard i work at it. as for the copyright issue, just don't watermark the video. just post a "naked" video with a catchy description to get people to click through to your landing page.
Oh guys, you get all the techniques here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic) For those who are against this: http://www.stopwebpollution.org/
No offence, but your message is way out of place in a webmaster forum. Not saying that all webmasters spam around, but most will if its profitable. Btw, this wont work on offers that accept only contextual traffic, will it?
I like this one i must say, the copy rights thing is a bit of a put off but i guess it's up to you if you watermark the video. Overall i do like this quick money making machine..... i best do a few quick as i can see this one ending soon........... GREAT POST
i have used this site before. it's ok, but i prefer watermarking software. you can just use camtasia to put your watermark.
Can you qualify the "depending on how hard i work at it" statement? I've gotten 1000 views in a couple days and not had any sales/leads. Do you need to throw up like 50 videos a day or something?
I know my wife sits on YouTube for hours at a time watching video, and has never followed a link from the site. EVER. I'm surprised people claim to be making such good money through video's. usually my wife is a pretty good barometer for how people behave online.
