Affiliate marketing on YouTube, what tactics are they using?

blackrabbit · Jun 20, 2022

There is an affiliate product that is very popular currently and I want to promote, and I noticed there is a YouTube account with several videos ranked at the top of the results. This account has many such videos for different products, posted very recently with a lot of vews, likes and comments.

Don't know if I'm allowed to post links so attached a screen.

At the time of writing, it's posted 1 hour ago, and it already has 4.900 views, 136 likes and 69 comments. How actually are they doing this, they have 4 videos as top Google results.

Are these real or are they using bots, multiple accounts, some kind of automation to boost videos and ranking?

This is your first post after 12 years I find that strange.Btw those are bought views on a aged youtube account with authority.It's not cool to post a channel on this forum it gets removed quickly by Youtube.

Thanks for your reply, I registered at that time when I was trying to make money online, now looking to get back into the game, and remembered I have an account.

If, you have started back then, it would have been 1000 times easier than now. The competition in every business model is a lot, you need to build solid skills in something and save capital later to expand your business, because it's full of competitors, as soon as someone shares something, if it's easy spam method or something it gets saturated, that's why you need to fail a lot to build skills that are hard to gain to be on the top. I know, which product you are talking about, months ago, I made very good money with it with ads, the product had more gravity, it's decreasing now, because the market is obviously flooded with this product, but this channel ranks for review keywords and it has a lot of subscribers and bought views, which makes the algorithm to rank it a lot easier and review keywords are warm traffic, that converts really well.

Thanks for your reply. I was having some success back then as a Clickbank affiliate but then got a regular job and didn't have the time and energy to do it anymore. Now I'd like to do some side hustles for extra income and looked into Clickbank affiliate since I'm familiar with it. I get there is a lot of competition, but then again, in what business there isn't? What model would you recommend to focus on, what is able to create a stable side income?

Affiliate marketing is a great model, it just takes time like anything else in life to become successful, you just need to focus only on one thing, 1 business model, 1 method, when you are starting. If you don't have budget, the best path, I would recommend is SEO, starting a website or a youtube channel, publish content around a niche, when you start getting traffic, post your affiliate links in the articles. Another free method is just spamming your affiliate link around the web, but social medias ban and hide your link, so spamming is not real marketing, it's temporary, that's why building a website or a youtube channel is a lot better, you will most likely not have results in the beginning, but in the long term, it's worth it.

On the other side, if you have a good budget, paid traffic is the way to make good amounts fast, but it would take you time to master the paid traffic sources, because they take time and also losing money in a lot of cases, unfortunately in order to gain experience.

Also is good to build list from your traffic and do email marketing. I started 3 years ago with affiliate marketing, literally broke, started the first website/blog and started writing reviews about different products on Clickbank, which is from the most popular affiliate networks, your blog can be review based, which is more high converting than, if you publish general info posts around a niche, but review keywords are also with more competition. Then, I started investing into paid traffic, I have also lost $3-4k on traffic, but I learned a lot and losing is not real lost, but a process of becoming better. Just don't give up, 90%+ of people give up.

hey man I don't usually comment but your replies have lots of valuable info (to me), I also haven't posted in a while and lots of things hold me back from starting again.
About 5-10 years ago IM wasn't as saturated and it feels like you can get away with a lot more and a lot less at the same time nowadays.
For example, I remember that back then you had to use things like a cloaker to be able to promote affiliate links and just an LP with a "buy now" button linking to offer wasn't enough but now I see people promote even direct links without issues sometimes and I wonder how that's possible. I also see tutorials from ClickBank themselves on youtube on how to utilize FB ads so it seems very integrated and legal and I'm just confused. Does this mean I can just promote crypto clickbank gambling offer on FB without issues?
I also get the feeling that while having a low starting budget like 50-200 bucks it's now a LOT harder to snowball from it than before, the grind is much much longer and you have to do a lot more.
Is there still a way to promote Clickbank offer with simple LP and break-even on time with a low budget? With hosting, domain and ads spend budget you are already looking at a minimum of weekly 200 bucks debt.
I'd love for you to give some thoughts and stuff on my reply, maybe some guidance

remove the photo bro, because it is against the rules of youtube and will end up harming the owner of the channel
