I thought i would share you guys an old method to get you started on your path of learning Internet Marketing. It is a simple concept but gives you a good over view of what you will need to succeed at IM. This particular post is going to be fairly brief so that it doesn’t extend beyond two pages. But ill revisit it later with more tips for you to increase your earnings, and maybe even field a few questions if you feel like leaving a comment or sending me an email. Before i start, you will need to have an account at CPALead, so if you don’t already have one, Go sign up!
First go sign up for an account at sidereel.com , Its free! Once you’ve signed up for your account, go back to the homepage, and view on the right hand side the top 10 shows for that week. Its under the header “TV Trends” and is about half way down the page. Go to each show’s page and add them to your favourites (Should be a link underneath the title picture). Some of these shoes aren’t in season currently, so add some others that are popular. Adult cartoons like family guy and american dad never fail to work with this method.
[Optional]Go grab a domain with something about TV, Shows or Videos, and install wordpress on it. Stick up a nice theme, preferably something dark. And your almost ready.If you don’t want to buy a domain/hosting. You CAN use blogger blogs or other free web hosts. It just becomes a little harder to get everything the way you want it.
Next go create a new gateway within CPALead. Be sure to customise it as much as you can. If you want to go all out you can even whip up your own skin but it isn’t necessary. Add your gateway to your site by adding it into the headers.php file. Do a quick check to make sure everything is in order, then we are done with the makeup of the site.
Head back to sidereel and go to your profile. Check what shows are on that night and for the coming nights (Remember they are in US time!). On your blog create posts with the show and episode names in the title. For the body of the post, for now just put in a description for the episode, which you can also get from sidereel.
Next, you will need something like camtasia or windows movie maker to make a short 30 second still film. You can generally get camtasia from somewhere like mininova or any torrent place. If you don’t feel comfortable with that then just get whatever movie maker you can find. For each of your shows, create a small video with nothing but a slide of that show. So for example I’m using Family Guy, i grab the first picture from google images of family guy and stick it in my video. I then stretch it out for 30 seconds or so. Add a slide at the end saying
“Sorry, Youtube keeps taking my videos down due to copyright.
I have reuploaded at :
www.yourlink.com”
For yourlink, it is generally easier to use a site like tinyurl.com or bit.ly to shorten your link. So in all your video should be a 30 second slide of a still picture. Then at the end a 5-10 second slide saying where they can find the real video. You can also watermark the whole thing with a video to your video blog post.
Right now that we have all your slide videos done. DON’T UPLOAD THEM~! You must wait young grasshopper. The night that it airs, head on back over to sidereel. And wait for someone to share a link to an upload of that episodes video. Go to that site and grab the embed code for the video and add it to your site. Sometimes this is shared freely and other times you have to get it from the source code. Once you have the code add it to your corresponding wordpress post.
Right. So we have a blog, with a video of an episode that aired only a few hours ago. With CPALead over the top. People are going rampant for the video by this time! Upload your slideshow of a video up to youtube. Add in the description a link to your blog, and keyword stuff the description with anything and everything about that particular show.
Wait till it gets about 10 views, login to a different youtube account and 5 star it just once. Anymore and you generally freeze the video. Your traffic should start piling in from the video to your blog. And its all free. You should get a really high conversion rate with CPALead too!
The next day, obviously there is another show airing that night. This is really an unlimited method, it all depends on how much effort you want to be putting into it. If you make your youtube videos good, and hang out on sidereel the night of the airing just waiting to be the first to get the real video. Then you can make really good (and easy) money with this.
If you cant make money with this well… I don’t really know. When anyone asks me for a simple method that a 10 year old can do, i always show them this one. It is so damn easy and it really is unlimited. Ill write up another post further down the track on how to increase your earnings from this. But for now, get out there and start earning!
