How to make money with Viral Videos

This isn’t a new method at all, but I’ve only found time recently to try it out myself. Youtube is the #2 website on the entire internet as traffic goes. This is a great method to make money quickly and easily

Here’s a quick guide on how to use Youtube to make money

1. Download a popular music video or viral video with a free Youtube downloader and save it in FLV format.
2. Convert FLV video to MPEG
3. Add watermarks to your videos with your website address on it promoting your Website/ Product.
4. Cash the checks and repeat!

Here’s a run down of how I personally do this in proper order (to make it easy and understandable for you)…

• Download YouTube video and save it in FLV format
• Convert FLV to MPEG
• Create watermark bitmap image in Photoshop
• Import MPEG to VirtualDubMOD, add BMP image to video
• Export and save video as an AVI
• Convert AVI to MPEG in SUPER

The watermark image should simply be text promoting your affiliate offer. I’ve had the most success promoting PPL (pay-per-lead) offers, such as ringtones, or e-mail submits. Make sure you hide your affiliate URL using a redirection service, such as TinyURL.com. It will make it easier for your viewers to remember the URL as well. If you don't have a product to promote you can use www.clickbank.com to promote products and earn up to 75% of the sales price.

Upload the video to YouTube with a descriptive title of the video. In the description , write the URL you just created and some text describing your offer. Example: “Get a Free Ringtone of this music video!”

Do this to as many videos as you can and I will guarantee that you will make money consistantly. When uploading have patience and dedication it will take a few days to get the money rollin'. Also, some videos will make more money than others.

It’s important to always follow the terms and conditions of each affiliate offer you’re promoting. Some offers restrict you from using the words, “free”, “best”, “guaranteed” etc. when promoting them. Check to make sure you aren’t violating any of these terms. It’s also best to use YouTube videos that are royalty free. Ignoring these rules and uploading a copyrighted video may get your video removed from YouTube and your account deleted. Your affiliate network account may also be terminated if a viewer reports you for promoting an offer in conjunction with a copyright violation. Play by the rules and you won’t have any problems. Your cash flow also won’t be cut off.
