[METHOD] YouTube Slideshows with Amazon products

Tried that, uploaded 1 video to see what happens, after few hours the video got deleted and my account got warning....
The reason I believe that it happened is because it was slideshow video... (cause i didn't direct link to amazon I linked to blog and from there to amazon)
Youtube want (and its understandable) quality video's - they want you to buy the product and shoot yourself making review.
Blackhat becoming very hard these days.... maybe should try more whitehat methods... hard work but they also better for the longrun

I dont think you have actually done this.. or have done it incorrectly.. many vids are up with the exact same thing that OP said.. OP should never have spammed.. creating 1 account per day and uploading only to that account and using dynamic IP would have solved the ban issue..

I had 4 channels. 1 for myself, and 3 for 3 people who I paid to do this.
They just uploaded as much as they could. Every channel had hundreds of videos. Yeah YouTube sees this as spam, but the funny thing is that I started this in March, In summer I had the most job done, and only in September in one day I got all the accounts flagged for breaking the rules, and in a day, they all got banned. I got my main account back by appealing, but on the other accounts that didn't work.

Any good software you'd recommend for creating videos for YT ?

Can you please tell me what were the total amount of views roughly ?
Asking because i wanted to understand what % of people see the video actually click the link.. I am not sure how high this would be ?
I see your conversion rate being 5 %.. But that is the conversion rate from people who clicked your link to buy the product %..

I am interested in knowing total number of people who watched your video.. That will help get a (very) rough estimate on the % of people watching the videos to the percentage clicking..


Lets say all 4 channels got 50K clicks but had 150K views.. that means 30% of viewers are clicking.. and 5% of those are converting..so out of total viewers.. 1.5% is coverting we can say..

So can you give total views on the channel(s) whose amazon screenshots you posted..

Well I can't login to those 3 accounts, because they're deleted now. But the one I have still has 70K total views and 360 videos.
The other 3 accounts had 30-60K views (each) at that moment. 2-3 months ago.

Thanks and in the first post..the pic you have posted are of the 4 accounts combined earnings i assume, right ?

So i see that in 70K + (average of 45K x 3) = 70K + 135K = Roughly in 200K views you made 4300 $ ?

Thats amazing..because the effective CPM rate via Amazon affiliate sales comes to something around 20 - 22 $ per 1K views.. That is very nice..

I assume that if the content was not mass produced but if it was done more selectively and more quality then i guess this wouldnt have been banned and would have lasted a long time ?

I see your avergae number of views comes to 75-100 per video.. Is this accurate ?
Above you say that some only had a couple views but some even had 50 views.. Avergae comes to around 75 -100 .. as you had 200K views for 2500 videos.. Or perhaps you did not have so many views ?

Yes the picture has earnings for all 4 accounts.
I said that after a week I had videos with 50 views. After a few months some keywords skyrocketed and the best 10-20 videos had hundreds of views, some even had more than 1K views. But the majority of the videos still had about 5-10 views.

Understood..thanks mate.. maybe you can make new journey.. but this time do more quality work in less quantity and spread across many channels.. Since this business model works..all you have to do is tweak it.. thanks for sharing..hope you make lots of money :)

Question: Outta curiosity did your Amazon account ever have any issues ? Also did you add the channel URL to the list of sites in Amazon associates dashboard ?
I think back when you started..amazon would have wanted a website so that it can check it for quality ?

Thanks.

This is what youtube sent to my email after they deleted my video - again I uploaded only 1 slideshow video about 35 seconds and in the description I linked to blog:

--------------------------------------

As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video "PowMax Neck & Back Massager,Massager with Heat Shoulder,Kneading Massage,Foot Massager Pillow" was flagged for review. Upon review, we’ve determined that it violates our guidelines. We’ve removed it from YouTube and assigned a Community Guidelines strike, or temporary penalty, to your account.


Video content restrictions
It's not okay to post large amounts of untargeted, unwanted, or repetitive content to YouTube. If the main purpose of your content is to drive people off of YouTube and onto another site, it will likely violate our spam policies. In addition, misleading descriptions, tags, titles, or thumbnails designed to increase views are not allowed. Tags should only be placed in the appropriate tag section and not in the description. Learn more.


The impact of strikes
This is the first strike applied to your account. We understand that users seldom intend to violate our policies. That’s why strikes don’t last forever – this strike will expire in three months. However, it’s important to remember that additional strikes could prevent you from posting content to YouTube or even lead to your account being terminated.


How you can respond
If you believe this was a mistake, we’d like to hear from you. Please follow both of these steps as simply deleting the video won’t resolve the strike on your account.

  • The next time you sign in you will be asked to acknowledge this strike on your account.
  • If you would like to appeal this strike, please submit this form. Our team will thoroughly review your appeal and will contact you again very soon


Sincerely,

So how to avoid this?

No problems with Amazon. Yes I did add the channels to Amazon associates dashboard. Also I have other websites with different associate tags on Amazon.

This is exactly the same message I received on all my accounts. Even after I tried to make new ones they got flagged in matter of hours and banned.
 
I have a question how are you creating the videos ?
I can see from here your video title is spammy you try to stuff keywords in the title a bad practice,Don't try to copy the exact title as your competitor that is one reasons you got flagged for spam.

I create a powerpoint presentation and then record it with Camtasia.Make the video at least a 1 min.Don't use that feature of youtube ,youtube can detect duplicate images within videos because you used images from Amazon.
 
Will it make your Amazon account ban using this method?
