Making $500 a Day is Stupid Easy (29)

---

**This post was originally intended just for my blog, but since my blog is a few days old I figure sharing here will be much more helpfull.**

It’s all about focus, once you buckle down and put 100% effort into a single method the money will follow. In this post I’m giving away one of the easiest methods I have ever come up with that has yielded me over $500/day. Any functional human being can profit with this, hell, with enough work you can make a decent living off this alone. In the end it simply depends on the amount of focus you’re willing to put in. Despite how easy the method I’m sharing is, I know 90% of you will either give up or become distracted before making anything decent. There will also be one or two of you who will realize the methods endless potential and will twist it around in every which way possible making $500/day look like a joke.

The Method:
Okay, let’s get started, what we’re going to be doing is leveraging YouTube’s cell phone traffic to make easy sales on Amazon Wireless. Amazon’s Associates Program pays out $50 per new cell phone contract and converts roughly around 2 percent. YouTube has hundreds of thousands of people looking up cell phone reviews daily so all’s we have to do is connect YouTube’s traffic to your Amazon link. How will we do this? Simple, comment rating; there is a little bit more to it though, follow these three steps and it will all come clear to you.

Step One: Setting up Your Amazon Link So it fakes its Referrer
Go into your Amazon Associates account and find a popular cell phone. Set up the link with CPA redirector so Amazon doesn’t know you’re getting traffic from YouTube. You can download CPA redirector here and learn how to use it here.

Step Two: Making Your Link Bypass YouTube Spam Detection
Grab the link you made with CPA redirector and shorten it with bit.ly. Remove “http://” and change “/” to “\”. Your link will look something like bit.ly\rqwfC8 and will be fully functional because most browsers have autocorrect enabled for slash marks (copy and paste it in your address bar and you’ll see that it still works). YouTube will let you post this link in a comment.

Step Three: Commenting and Rating
This is the most important part; YouTube is very strict with comment rating IP detection so you will need to follow a few rules.

Rule #1: No more than two comments per Account/IP/Day.

Rule #2: No more than 8 comment ratings per Account/IP/Day.

Rule #3: When comment rating, IPs must be C class unique or comment is at risk of being ghosted.

Ghosting is when YouTube detects multiple IPs (or IPs too similar) and tricks you into thinking your comment is on top when it really isn’t. Always check your comment on a 3rd party proxy to make sure it’s not being ghosted.

You will need many IPs and YouTube accounts for this method to work. You can get cheap YouTube accounts at Fiverr and thousands of IPs with Hide My Ass’s VPN for 10 bucks a month. On the other hand if you are extremely cheap you can use free VPN’s and make your own YouTube accounts but this can be very time consuming and unreliable.

What Your Comment Should Look Like:

Your comment should look like a suggestion or tip and as unspammy as possible. Change synonyms every comment or two to make sure you leave no footprints.

Examples:

The Droid Bionic is on sale for $500 off at bit.y/rqwfC8 =D

This phone is selling for 75% off @ bit.ly\rqwfC8 J

Make it RAIN
$500/day is only the beginning; scale, learn, develop. Once you’ve got some funds you can move your focus to more profitable ventures. Just be sure to stick to one thing at a time and success will follow.

Wow, I could have sworn Black Hat World was that-a-way --->

Creative campaign though.

---

Great creativity man. Shit like this "Your link will look something like bit.ly\rqwfC8 and will be fully functional because most browsers have autocorrect enabled for slash marks (copy and paste it in your address bar and you’ll see that it still works)." is powerful.

---

cool... share.

---

hey thanks.. but there is no way this will work.

no I'm totally kidding. This is cool, thanks for sharing.

---

You running this with a Youtube auto commenter? Spinning the text + links around? Looks like an awesome technique! How many comments do you send out every day? How many unique C-Class ip's + Proxies you run this on?

What would be a realistic number of comments to make to get to that 500$/day?

Thanks for the share,

Cheers!

---

Excellent!

Knowing Amazon you should be careful posting this on a public blog though...when the "Bot people" get hold of it you will have your hands full

---

Very cool and very different, doesn't even touch a CPA network or a paid traffic source yet still is extremely powerful. There are soooo many techniques like this rarely discussed which work well for CPA gateways too

---

If you want to bot this you're going to need a LOT of proxies (and I don't mean the kind you can buy from proxy sellers hint hint, two words, ends with net.) Botting comment rating isn't for the average spammer anymore as YouTube's really stepped up their game in IP detection.

I don't send out comments every day and have no idea how many C class IPs I have. Around 100 comments fully rated can get you $500/day no problem assuming they're all on popular videos. You can use macro programs such as http://www.autohotkey.com/ to speed things up.

---

Haha just had a quick look over Youtube, seems like there are quite a few comments that would be making some big money on the high viewed videos haha

---

I have to ask...
Are YOU actually making >$500 a day with this?

Between the CTR on Youtube (insanely low), Amazon's short cookie and not using bots I have serious doubts.

---

Amazon doesn't come sniffing around when you're pushing > $15k a month, with blank referrers..?

If not, then I'm curious the most you've ever done in a month without raising Amazons attention...

---

This reminds me so much of BHW, good

---

Why would anyone buy a droid from amazon after watching a youtube vid? Idk i would rather promote an email submit or something..

---

Blackhat is where the moneys at!

---

I'm not going to do this but, if I was I'd get a youtube scraper, something like tube equalizer, does anyone know a better youtube scraper?
Find the top traffic sites then contact the site owners and see if they would take a few bucks for a link to the popular amazon phone offer. If you can find a high traffic site that isn't already aware of the value of the traffic.

Paying high traffic youtube sites for a link could get you really low cpm

---

Interesting but my question is this..

You said 100 "rated" comments can get you $500/day..how many comments are you leaving in total to achieve the 100 rated?

---

Wouldn't this be considered spam?

---

CTR is very high as the video is a review of the cell phone I'm promoting, like I said, the average user won't be able to bot because of youtubes strict IP detection, I personally use a bot. You mad I'm making over $500/day? I've pushed more than that spamming "free pizza" zip submits on popular videos, you underestimate the amount of traffic you get with comment rating.

Haters gonna hate.

I don't blank referrers, I fake them.

Are you joking? If you're watching a video review of a phone chances are you're going to be interested in purchasing that phone.

---

100, then I rate them up. Check out YouTube if you're not familiar with it.

---

The video needs to be related to whatever you're promoting, otherwise like markl said, CTR will be extreemly low.

So many people aren't getting this. The method I'm describing is promoting "x cell phone" on the video "x cell phone review". I'm not randomly spamming phones.

---

Not hating at all maybe I was put off by the title of the post...
I wanted to know if you were actually using this yourself and making 500 a day.
Cool method until they catch on to the reverse slash part of it.

---

Are you still doing this?

Only running it with amazon?

I would imagine this would work pretty well with Content Lockers/Gateways!

Cheers

---

Stuff like this is why I read EVERYTHING here.

I pan for gems and I find them.

---

This man speaks the truth. Blank referers = Ban. However if you are able to set the referer as a blog about phones then you should be golden. Im not sure if CPA redirector does this or not.

---

I can vouch for this. I did SEO for a website in the mobile phone / sim card sector, back when SEO was still fun and not a massive pain in the ass.
Examples of our top performing keywords for affiliate conversions were "htc desire review" or "iphone 4 review", and performed as well as, if not better, than keywords like "iphone 5 compare prices" or "iphone 5 buy". Reviews are the best for affiliate commissions!

I think it's something to do with the fact that when someone is reading a review they are pretty darn interested in that product and they've already mostly convinced themselves they are going to buy this particular product. They are certainly very far down the sales process, farther than you might imagine.

True Story -
For this mobile phone site, we plugged loads of reviews for the new iPhone 4 using GNews. We reviewed every aspect of the iPhone 4 and referred users (with our affiliate links) to the sites where they could buy the phone, but wasn't released yet. The morning it was released, we racked up £2k in commission by 9AM UK time. Needless to say, that was a good day.

Reviews = $$$$$!!

P.S - Nice method, Jtgjustin!

---

Just wondering if this is still viable? Last posts before today are over a year old? Is the OP still around STM?

---

^ Considering the OP last logged in 11-28-2011 10:48 - It would seem that he's no longer active here. This may indicate that he's now banking $2,000,000,0000,000 per month from his YT scheme, ... or he's now broke, and can no longer afford the $99 per month fees!

---

Still running this method, only it's outsourced and with content locking

$99 is steep man
