What I did:
Adfly had 1 hour and a half of blackout, so I lost a lot of traffic between 20:00/22:00.
I updated all my vids description with an alternative link shortened with bitly to avoid this happening in the future.

Uploaded 300 more videos to YouTube, just 1 account deleted with 25 videos, reuploaded them too.

Total for January 2014 (started 10/01): ~1750$ (5 days to end this month, aiming to 2500$.)

Week recap:

Total earnings: 1173.47
Average per day: 167,63 (target average per day: 166,66 - Done!)

These are some serious earnings, looks like you've got this all figured out. Do you have a reinvesting plan for maybe other money making strategies, or to boost your current PPI earnings? You said you would like to shift onto more reputable videos that don't get banned every 2 days, do you think of investing a % of your earnings into that?

 

[irishsoul]

Sure I will! My aim for the future is to make quality videos and rank them in popular niches, so I will definitely buy some proxies and PVA YouTube accounts.
With my actual strategy I have to continuosly monitor all my accounts and reupload deleted videos as soon as they get deleted to mantain my earnings. It's time consuming (and boring...) and I can't seriously build up something that will last. I'm trying various combinations of number of videos per accounts / number of accounts per IP to see which one works better, 'cause now, despite this good earnings, I'm basically broke and I can't afford an investment in IM (lost my job 2 years ago, some debts left to pay, family matters and so on...).

great journey so far! it's interesting to know PPI still works
hope you would get paid

 

[Aty]

Pretty impressive. Subscribed and good luck.

 

[BloodyNinja]

Interesting, will be following this.

Best of luck on your journey!

 

[Lordaeron]

Awesome journey irishsoul. Looks like you're making a killing!

One question though, after creating a "faked" installer in Revenyou, is there any chance to rename the installer to something less questionable than their default "ProductXXX_DistributionYYY_PartnerZZZ.exe"?

Thanks for the help!

Yes, download your installer, rename and re-upload it.

I know a similar question has been asked before, but how do your videos get traffic if they are not ranked? Is it upon the basis that your videos are more 'up-to-date'?

 

[lietuvis002]

Hey, I added you on skype. Btw, how many videos have you got uploaded so far? 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k+?

 

[n0thing722]

Hey, can you PM your skype name, so i can ask you something please. I can't send you, since i dont have 15 posts yet :/

 

[shadowofdeath718]

I have a question, once my custom app has been approved can I change the file name after download?
Wish you best of love and hope you can earn more in the future
Sr for my poor english

 

[foitoi]

Have you ever considered buying YT accounts? You can buy 10 for less than $2.

Anyway, good luck. Seems that PPI works good

Hi Irishsoul, just a quick question:

You said you are targeting competitive/popular niches and you aren't boosting your videos. How do you get traffic even if your videos gets quickly deranked?

 

[Smeak]

Hi. I'm new to PPI - I did what you said, (RevenYou) downloaded exe from feature apps, I renamed it and uploaded to them. They sent me email "We see you registered to our platform and uploaded an app. Unfortunately it already has monetization offers. Please upload a clean .exe file so that we can verify and approve your app.". How can I upload clean exe ?

I see that even if I don't feed my vids with views or likes, they appear in google search first page after 1 day and they rank pretty well in YouTube also. I guess that's because I put a bunch of additional "tags" in the video description so I can target lot of alternative keywords.
If my title was "Bestgameoftheworld download" I'd put in the description a lot of additional "tags" like "Bestgameoftheworld free download" "Bestgameoftheworld download mediafire" "Bestgameoftheworld download torrent" "Bestgameoftheworld free full download" and so on.
Plus, you have to consider that I'm targeting 4k different niches (1 video per niche), so it's a number game.

Yes guys, with RevenYou you can download your approved app and rename it. No problems with that.

They sent me email "We see you registered to our platform and uploaded an app. Unfortunately it already has monetization offers.

Well, it's pretty self-explaining. You downloaded a featured app from Revenyou (which already has adaware offers in it) and reuploaded that to Revenyou... they can't create a custom app re-inserting adaware in it.
You have to uplod a "clean" exe. Either make a simple exe in visual basic or upload some freeware of any kind (VLC media player, for example).

Hey, I added you on skype. Btw, how many videos have you got uploaded so far? 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k+?

4k in Youtube and 9k in dailymotion. I will open Skype as soon as i can, I'm pretty busy, sorry!

What I did:
Soooo, it eventually came... MASS BAN!
I found out at 9 am yesterday that 2500 out of my 3500 YT videos were gone. It was a big letdown, but I made up my mind and started to create accounts and reupload.
This time, I am trying to restart router after every account and upload 100 vids on each account.
In the evening, I had everything online again and I uploaded also 300 new videos.
I also worked on dailymotion videos by changing back the dl link to RevenYou (Amonetize doesn't work well for me, if you have another nice earning network to suggest, please do) and uploaded a lot more.
At the moment I have 4k vids on Youtube (not planning to add more for now) and 9k on dailymotion (20k more to upload, very broad category niche, not very popular but still some money to be made).

About today, I'm already at 113, might be a good day.
All accounts alive, no bans.


Earnings:


As you can see, despite the mass ban, my earnings was just slightly lower than previous days. It could've been much worse!

Total for January 2014 (started 10/01): ~1900$

Edit: was almost forgetting... Yesterday I also got an year premium subscription renewal on my uploaded.to account which gave me 45 euros and 1 french conversion for 16$ on cleanfiles from my previous project.

 

[ryans2]

Awesome journey! im really wanting to try this on a lower scale but i dont want to put all the effort in and find out RevenYou is a scam :S

 

[n0thing722]

Good job, you are doing great.. I also started to use PPI (you inspired me) , and i don't really know which videos toupload? I mEan, you are uploading 300+ videos daily :O What kind of videos are they? Where do you get them from? You make them? Thanks

 

[irishsoul]

Yes, I make them, but as I already said they are a simple slideshow containing an intro saying that the download link is in the description and 1/3 screenshots of the software/game/keygen/crack/hack whatever I am promoting.
I make them using php and ffmpeg and it takes 3/5 seconds to make 1 video this way.
Obviously it is because I am going for quantity over quality, you have to test what is better for you. Download and reupload videos? Make your own videos? How many? I see journey threads of people having good results even with much less videos than me, so it's up to you
