Ideas for product to sell in my video description

    My video daily views is rising once again and got 3900 views in a day (yesterday) but averages at about 2000 views a day. Surely i can capitalise on this (i am getting a few dollars here and there but not much)

    I've tried to get help on this a few times and have tried selling various products (clickbank) to no avail.

    What kind of market can i target (or product to sell) from watching the video? and how should i do it? does it ever work just putting affiliate links in descriptions?
    I'd love some help. I must be missing something.

    Video is here

    or type chinook flyby into google... should be the first one

    My first impression was that it is a remote-controlled helicopter. Perhaps you could implement affiliate links to remote-controlled helicopter toys. Just a thought.

    thanks, good idea. I'm gonna try this one next. The demographic is 94% male in the US so could work.

    How should i actually pitch it? do amazon affiliate links actually work with Youtube? i don't think id buy anything from a YT link

    1.2 million views with ads running in the video and you are only getting a few dollars? Hmm.. interesting.

    This discussion is interesting

    and as it seems, you can try your luck with affiliate links, but they are sort of against the rules. It is a matter of, if you aren't caught, you aren't guilty.;) But if you are an honest person like me, you just won't add them, cause, to be honest, do you really think the effort you put into that video really deserves more than a few dollars?;)

    Cheers Scott,
    I know your right; it didn't take much effort at all. I got lucky just like a lot of people have but i guess its always worth trying as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
    Cheers for the link

    You can make more videos and connect it to your Google Adsense account!
    More views you get means more exposure and clicks on Google Ads in your videos
    (more profit for you)!

    (Another way) The best possible way to capitalize traffic from your videos is to
    put a link to a squeeze page in the description of your videos! You should focus
    on build an email list! Squeeze page should offer a free product related to your niche
    in exchange for name and email submit.

    I think you can't monetize your video properly. What is your target niche? You have to put your affiliate link with your video related product. Also you can set up your lead capture page. So you can collect your lead.

    I second the helicopter idea. It seems to fit with the video. Perhaps you could add remote control boats to it if you were really hurting for links.

    Go with one of those extreme holidays or days out. Jumping out of a helicopter or flying in one is a very rare thing for money people but after you video would be great to promote.

    Maybe you should contact the government. LOL. Tell them, if they want to sell more helicopters, you can help them.

    AdSense for youtube works a bit differently, if I understand it right. It's virtually impossible to make money from one video even if it's a successful one. They will start paying you, however, if you keep uploading more and more videos that produce the same or better results.
