ABOUT ME
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new here, in fact this is the first forum about marketing and making money I've ever posted on. Basically I'm heavily into content locking and using youtube to drive traffic. Anyway I was searching for new tactics and stumbled upon the Snapchat thread which prompted me to join.
So, I've posted a few replies and got a few people interested to learn more or appreciating what I'd written so I thought I'd share a few things that might help a few of you out.
Hopefully what i'm about to share will give a few of you the nudge you need to get started on your own money making journey, so here goes...
SHORT INTRO ABOUT THE BASIC METHOD
Ok, so you've probably read hundreds of threads about combining youtube and cpa and I can tell you now it can be very profitable.
The traffic is free, the traffic is laser targeted and if you create a high quality video and content lock something people really want it can be really profitable.
I'm not going to spoon feed you a whole step by step system here, i'm simply going to give you some hints, tips and pointers that will hopefully spark you into action.
But as you probably already know here's how it goes...
Video about niche -> Link to blog post -> Viewer downloads locked content -> You make money
A LITTLE ABOUT NICHES
So the first thing people tell you is to find a niche, or topic to base your videos and content around and it really is the most important step. Without a niche you are literally stuck at step 1.
What people don't really tell you though is that even though they might not all have the same popularity, niches are literally everywhere and if there is traffic and something you can offer to be downloaded that people want you can make money.
So we all know the popular ones and usually blackhat fake ones that basically scam people by getting them to complete an offer for something they will never get. You know...
Again literally anything can become a niche if there is something to be locked and a user can download something.
Here's a few that might spark your interest and broaden your thinking.
Basically I have recorded a video of me setting up an android emulator up with an app that lets you watch virtually any movie and any episode of virtually every tv show you can think of.
I don't ever show footage of the show or movie they want, i never face any youtube violations, i have thousands upon thousands of keywords to target and I really provide an excellent tutorial that people love.
FINDING A NEW ANGLE
Ok so you have thought of a niche, just think how you can find a new angle to change that niche so you're not just one of the sheep copying everyone else.
Just like the tv show example above, I could have very easily done what everyone else dose and simply post a link to the actual tv show or movie to download. However what I have done is much more valuable, its different and people get more invested when they know they'll never have to search for anything again and probably get scammed in the process.
How about the game hack niche, sure you could just follow the masses and create a fake generator. Or you could use them to your advantage, rip them to pieces in your video, tell people they are fake and then provide them with the real modded app file.
There are plenty of actual, real working apps floating about even for some of the games that are targeted by fake generators. Give the people what they want, easy, more trust, less reports and more money.
CREATE HIGH QUALITY VIDEOS
The single most important part of this process is the quality of your video. Make it the best you can, explain everything in detail, even that they will be downloading an app or completing a survey to unlock whatever they want.
Here's two examples based around lets say downloading Sims 4 torrent (another profitable personal niche)
1) I create a video that is 2 minutes in length with a still picture of the sims 4 disc case and a robotic voice saying "Click the link below the video to download sims 4 for free" That's all it is, 2 minutes of absolute lazy shit.
2) I create a video that shows everything from start to finish. Here's how it would flow.
So don't half arse it, this is whats going to be making you money for months or years to come. A 30 minute no holds barred video is nothing in the grand scheme of things so make them as good as you can.
I'll have to leave it there for now my little one is moaning, I'll be adding some advice about networks, keyword research and some other stuff when I get the chance. Leave a comment if there's anything you'd like me to cover and I'll see if I can help.

- Paypal money adder
- Game hack generators
- Instagram followers
- etc.
Again literally anything can become a niche if there is something to be locked and a user can download something.
Here's a few that might spark your interest and broaden your thinking.
- Lego model instructions
- Knitting patterns
- Simple solutions to common problems (make your own tutorial)

2) I create a video that shows everything from start to finish. Here's how it would flow.
- Step 1, i would download and test a number of sims 4 torrents on my computer until I find one that works perfectly then uninstall it.
- Step 2, I set up a page on my blog and link the torrent file to my content locker ready to go.
- Step 3, I start recording my video. I download utorrent explain what its for and install it, I visit the new page on my site and click the download button, the locker pops up, I explain what its for, complete an offer and download the torrent file, i open the torrent file and get it downloading and explain a bit about how it works. I open the finished download folder, install the game and show everything working.
So don't half arse it, this is whats going to be making you money for months or years to come. A 30 minute no holds barred video is nothing in the grand scheme of things so make them as good as you can.
