Recently just started a journey and started working my ass on it. Then I check other journey on click bank + youtube journey. To my surprise I saw that all of them quit before even making money. is it getting more difficult or they just gave up. I don't know may be they found some beter way to make money. Anyway I just trying to shoot some video, and I get it, its not easy as it seems but almost everyone giving up, what is happening ?
People usually go to the YouTube + Clickbank route because they think it's the easiest method - there are more lazy guys trying to do Clickbank + Youtube than trying to do Authority + Clickbank or say content writing, freelancing etc... This is one of the reasons on why the giving up rate is so high. Another reason is that Youtube crashed down on Newbie blackhatters pretty hard, blocking and banning accounts - and people always want too much too fast and end up overdoing it. These are my $0.02.
I'm on a "local" money making forum and one guy posted a journey youtube + clickbank. He uploaded 25 videos and didn't do any major promotion, like buying views and likes. Also, those viedos were shit. He posted the links to the video. Just a few pictures with music and a few"Click the link in the description for more info".Then he stopped posting for about 2 months. After that he came back and showed proof of making $100 a week. People are too impatient. It took him over 2 months to start seeing results. And that is what people should do. Wait.
The problem with those people who quit is that they are not patient, not at all. They just struggle from one to another method, without sticking to one method for a longer period. If you ask me, 3 months is enough to try a method. If it doesn't work after 3 months, you can switch. But, if you are not persistent and don't put enough time in a method, you won't succeed.
Your better off making a website, buying a few review articles and ranking the site for a few hundred. You will make it back if your product is in demand and you can rank the website for the keyword. Good Luck
Actually like Carreira said, YouTube has started deleting videos with affiliate links in their descriptions. It's happened to me and I have an account that is 5 years old. It happens when someone flags your video, so jealous people can take down videos easily it seems.
Wel to tell you the truth, I thought it would be easy too, but to make quality video, By shooting the video yourself and editing it is much harder than I thougt, I am going to shoot few video myself and then do also little bit of animoto. anyway not going to give up.
People are lazy. My YouTube + ClickBank videos are doing just fine. The secret to success is 1) Make quality videos that actually help people. 2) Don't put an affiliate link in the YouTube description. You need to link to your own website and pre-sell the ClickBank product from there.
Lately youtube have been too difficult to survive. Best bet is to upload quality videos which stick longer.
