    Hi,

    someone offered me $1 for each video on youtube, that i promote thier site

    im not realy an entreprenaur, but i do have a vast amount of videos in my collection

    is this a good deal? please advise

    --

    i thought i could charge extra for suggesting to advertise using annotations aswell as descriptions, i presume its best to charge same price? or have a range for the two choices?

    This may be a good deal... How many videos is he asking you to upload to YouTube? It also depends on how long it will take for you to upload each video.

    If you think of it this way, if you do 100 videos, for $1.00 a peice, and it takes you 1 hour to do them all, then you just made $100/hr...

    See what I mean?

    i already got 220 videos uploaded on my new account i usualy have multiple playlists full to the brink and subscribers in thier thousands, im always adding new content everyday and got tons of regular active subscribers which followed me and use my channel to communicate everyday so a loyal following which is dedicated to my niche,

    the person wants me to link to thier warez website

    should i charge the same price for the annotations idea, or have a price range for each method, personally i think my annotations will have a bigger effect than advertising in the description field but he hasnt thought of that so i plan to suggest it.

    i would charge more for that method but if $1 is alot of money i guess thats immoral so same prices may be best option

    -------------------

    ive never recieved money from paypal before, can i do that with a free account? is thier commision? i read it could be avoided if sent as GIFT

    Go for it and use it as your reference for future projects.
    You can charge more anytime anyways...

    looking at my insight statistics for most viewed on my new account, my most popular vid has 16,000 views in total which is 1 of many, im not sure how to check daily views for each video i think its about 3-5k a day

    from experience doing this in the past i know my accounts at a peak, and traffic will increase 2x as much when i get past a subscriber barrier and my playlists become full then the numbers just come rolling in ive noticed its already started.

    i entice my fanbase to rate 5 stars on every video, and thanks to the service i provide without revealing to much detail about it.... all 220 of my videos are toprated *****, dozens of votes on each one and literally hundreds of comments, everybodys favourites them and keeps on returning i cant go 5 minutes without new comments or private messages & friends invites

    my niche is computer/video games, thats not a very detailed description of what i do exactly, but thiers a huge demand for it thats for sure.

    if i accept the deal i will without a doubt reinvest the money creating a dedicated site for such a purpose.. not a youtube clone/blog with content embedded but a lovely interface much better than ut new layout designs they launched recently, re-reading the guys proposition he said he would pay more than $1 if it shows good results thats why i hope i aint to cheap :) hehe
    because thiers no way for me to personally tell if my system has proven good for him if i dont have some sort of private statistics tracker installed on his website??? but no real reason to if i aint charging for hits

    Make sure that their website does not promote any illegal stuff (warez sites generally do). You could get in trouble with Youtube.

    +1.

    I recommend building your own site (maybe a small blog if funds are tight) and send it some traffic through your vids. Make money with the blog and build a bigger site.

    build a site and send traffic to your site through your videos ..you will earn more through adsense and affliates than you will from providing your videos to be used by someone else

    What is a very good option? What do you want to know more about? Nothing is being sold or offered here. Posting to simply up your post count could get you in trouble.

    I don't suggest you take this offer coz you have a great chance to get banned by youtube coz you're related to warez site.
    If promote other site then its ok.
