Youtube Journey to Backpacking the World

Congrats getting back on track with MVB. just curious how much time does it take you to put up 50 vids? Do you tweek everyone or just throw em up?
 
It takes about 15 minutes to make a new VM, detach the VHD (HDD), reattach it to the new VM and then make the account, download and upload. I watermark the videos and cut some time off of each of them which is all automated in MVB.
 
Hi,

You upload duplicated video, so Youtube can detected this ?
 
Not really. In the post above I said I watermark and shorten the videos. That gets around dupe detection 99% of the time.


I was so close to hitting my goal of $60 yesterday! Also, I'm going to start posting which portion comes from my old HQ videos that I made and which portion comes from mass uploading.

March 2nd Breakdown:
HQ Earnings: $45.77
Mass Upload: $13.63
Total: $59.40

March 3rd info:
Lost 4 accounts. Around 200 videos total. Going to reupload them and then upload some more on top of that. I would like to have at least 1k videos online at the end of the day.

Total videos uploaded: 640/873
 
Had another account deleted. Some videos I uploaded today also got detected as dupes. Earnings seem a lot lower so far today but we'll see how the day ends up going.

Total videos uploaded: 1025/1115
 
Mass ban today. Only have 362 videos online now. Yesterday's earnings also really sucked. Only made $25. I'll post exact stats later today. I'm not working much if at all today, it's a powder day and I'm hitting the hill.

Cheers,

Seems like you are making a real effort and sticking to your goals. That is the way to be for sure! so good job and continue on your path and I'm sure you'll get there.

What was your total income for Feb?

Thanks. Total income for February was close to $1300.

Right now I'm going to upload some videos again. This time I'm going to try 20 videos/account. I really don't feel like doing this right now but I have nothing better to do. I've got a case of beer, a pack of smokes and tunes to keep me motivated right now. Going to try and work for 5 hours straight but I'm pretty sure I'll get bored or distracted in the first hour. Anyway, going to get it to it for now.

This is weird. 2/3 accounts that I uploaded yesterday with only 20 videos are dead already, yet I still have some accounts from the 1st and 2nd of this month with 50 videos in them that are alive.

Anyway, no work really got done yesterday because when I detached my disk with all my videos and MVB, Azure didn't unlock the disk for use all night. Now it's back up and right now I'm about to upload all of my videos to one single account, just to see if that will generate any money. I know the account won't stick, I just want to see if it will make any money this way. If it works I might as well get a huge list of videos and upload them all to one account once or twice a day.

Keep in mind I'm also going to keep trying to scale up by getting videos to stick.

Earnings so far this month:
March 1st: $40.95
March 2nd: $59.40
March 3rd: $25.92
March 4th: $27.60

Earnings from old HQ videos: $130.14
Earnings from mass upload: $23.73

Total earnings for March: $153.87
 
Hey guys. Earnings are going down more and more. I think Youtube has started to delete my super old HQ videos. They seem to really be cracking down on the hack niche (no pun intended) :)

Anyway, I decided to try some CB stuff again. I was originally going to manually search Youtube for videos promoting CB products, and then I said wait a second, I haven't coded anything in a while now. So yesterday I spent the entire day coding 2 bots. One takes in a list of keywords, checks the description for bitly links, checks if those links point to CB and then outputs the video title, link, views, shortlink and cb link to a grid. This allows me to mass find CB videos to steal :) Sorry guys, but I'm stealing your videos.

The second bot wasn't planned since I didn't think it was possible. Basically it converts all the bitly links in a string to my own links. It grabs the hoplink, decrypts it, reencrypts it as my own link, shortens it in bitly and then replaces the original link. Basically I just use mass video downloader to download all the videos promoting CB products, copy the output file and run that through my bot that replaces the link.

The video scraper takes a very long time unfortunately. It took about 2 hours to run through 1700 videos. Out of those videos it found 194 videos promoting CB products. I think 99% of them are barely getting any hits, but I don't really care. Mass CB videos seems like an amazing idea since they have a way better chance at sticking and can probably even generate more money.

Yesterday's earnings: A measly $15 or so.

Not even worth reporting. Very discouraged with these stats. The account with 1300 videos on it got deleted in a few hours, but it actually generated a couple of bucks. Still, not worth it.

Today I'm going to work strictly with CB videos. I'll keep you guys posted.

Cheers,
xxf8xx

EDIT: Scraper decided to work 1000x faster today. Found 233 videos in the forex niche that are all promoting CB products :)

Hey guys. Going to work on getting more CB videos online. They are all still alive. Had 8 hops yesterday. Hopefully that will grow much larger very soon. Right now I have about 200 CB vids online. Going to try to get 1k online today.

As far as my game hack videos go, yesterday I made $18. The day before was around $15. Earnings have dropped considerably. I'm not too worried about it though since I am adapting to the changes early on and getting into CB.

Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted.

All CB accounts are still alive! Had some videos deleted off the accounts for random reasons but that's ok. I wasn't able to get 1k videos online yesterday because I forgot how long it takes to edit and upload HD videos. Anyway, I'm currently changing the links to my own in 591 videos and I'm also scraping tons of new videos.

CB Stats for March 8th:
Hops: 36
Order Form Impressions: 2
Sales: 0
Earnings: $0.00

Hack Earnings for March 8th:
$21.60

CB stats are looking pretty damn good already. I can't wait to see what happens once I get thousands of videos online. No sales yet, but I didn't really expect to start banking on day 1. Anyway I guess that's pretty much all for now.

Hey guys. I'm still plugging away at CB. No sales so far but lots of hops. On some days I had over 100 hops but I'm pretty sure that my bots somehow create some hops. The past couple days I haven't ran my bots and got 46 and 37 hops respectively. I have also had 6 order form impressions and 1 order form server call. I'm really hoping that if I just keep going forward those sales will eventually start trickling in.

Today I had 2 accounts deleted, so ~200 videos total. Not really a big deal, but I was hoping these accounts would live for much longer. Hopefully the others stick for 1 month+. My first account I used with CB got deleted which was from March 6th.

Anyway, it's annoying seeing 40+ hops/day and not making any sales, but I'm sure that first sale will come and then they will just pile in after that.

Cheers,

Sometimes with server calls but no sales, you will get the sale tommorow. They wont release the sale (and commision) until money is recieved and some people pay with echeque from there banks. (which takes a day or sometimes 2)

Good to know. Would be nice to see a sale. Also I made a mistake quoting my hops. Where I said 37 hops that is actually today so far.
 
Good news! I just added support in my scraper bot for ANY type of short link/redirect. Now I'm picking up 10x as many videos. It seems most people are using tinyurl. I might implement tinyurl in my link replacer since someone above said bitly bans cb links sometimes. Anywho, I've gathered a list of every CB product and added the word review to each one and I'm running some of them through my scraper now. Let's see what we can find :)
 
You need to go for the buying kw-s with CB to get good sales/clicks.
