There are no rules against affiliate links in youtube as far as I know. At least I never had a problem doing so. But I use bitly and stuff like that to hide the actual affiliate link. You can also put a text banner in the video itself with a link to your affilite link, works fine.
Still works, still making money with this system, and soon I will release an updated version of my guide with more info and new tips and tricks.
To the guy asking if its necessary to mix video etc, no, as long its Creative Commons, you can use it for any commercial purpose you want.. I usually post various videos, some compilations of my own that i mix from creative commons videos, other times a video alone that is CC.
It is all in terms and conditions of YouTube, they say we can use Creative Common videos from their library for commercial purposes, so it should be no problem.
Personally though I prefer creating something original by mixing clips and putting together some type of compilation.
"cloaking" affiliate links still causes no problems for me, but feel free to use direct affilate links as long you are honest and tell exactly where the link leads.
To get views, post in forums, discussion groups, blogs, etc.. Places related to videos you got. It works good. In my best days I got thousands of visitors from forums alone.
I will not share the forums I use, for obvious reasons, but search forums related to the topic of videos you are posting... The more forums you join and post, the better results...
But do not spam... Post in a good manner such as "Wow, today I saw this video and its amazing, what do you think?" or "Found this video I want to share, let me know what you think, and tell me if you got some videos related"etc.. And people will respond and post and answer and keep your thread alive.. Obviously you have to answer them and keep the discussion going so the thread stays on top in the forums and get many views..
One example, post a video of a prank, and ask others to share their best pranks, with a title as such "Best pranks ever! What is your favorite??" and they will post and keep your thread alive and thus also visist your videos. You can do this with anything..Music, Pranks, Jokes, Parodies, Sports, anything really..
Sometimes I make my own videos, as presentation, then I use CC videos as main theme. Its a good way to go as you establish your own channel with your own name and character..
Regarding perinstalllcash, i make fine money with that, they got some good software that newbies will download, and internet is filled with newbies every single day. Same goes for mgcash and most other affiliate systems mentioned... Every day we got a few thousand newbies who doesnt know anything about internet and they will download and install anything...
Except for this read my previous messages and my guide and you got what you need, just put some effort into it, some time, work hard a while, and then things will go more or less automatically..
Goood luck and enjoy people. Any questions message me at
