Ive been a little restless lately, feeling like trying something new. There arent a lot of routes for me to take as i dont like a lot of dicking around :p

So heres an idea:

1) Get 100 ebooks
2) Upload them somewhere free
3) Get CPA network and content lock each ebook = 100 links
4) Shorten links with bitly or some link shortener
4) Get an aged Youtube channel and boost with subs
5) Make 100 videos - 1 for every ebook
6) Upload 1 video per day with link in description
7) Boost videos with views and likes, and do social shares
8) Profit

The idea is that after i do this for a few ebooks i can develop a bit of a copy/paste system of doing it all. Similar videos, similar process. It can also be scaled to more ebooks and more videos etc.

I find it frustrating that a CPA or affiliate offer can just go down at any moment, rendering my efforts obsolete until i redirect the shortened links. But content locking my own shit is a bit of a middle ground. The only pitfall would be the CPA network shutting down or not paying me for some reason, or the site where i uploaded the ebooks shutting down. But the latter can probably be minimized risk by using dropbox or some other such site.

As with any method, 1001 things can go wrong. But i know a lot of you guys do or have done content locking and Youtube, and i want to know what are the obvious flaws and potential problems that you see with my idea?

Keep searching for absolute durable income source is one of the biggest mistakes some internet marketers can do, never expect something to work forever. if a method works, just make money from it as long as its alive.

About the method, its better to make 1 link for the whole 100 ebooks package, and then upload 100 videos for this one link. The incentive will be better and traffic larger.

I dont expect anything to work forever. But its one thing for me to promote a product with a video, and then the product vanishes. Now my video is useless as it was made to promote a specific product.

But if i own the product, the video will never die. Anything goes wrong i just content lock with a different network and the show goes on.

I dont want people to go through the mental masturbation of completing an offer, only to wait for hours to download a huge amount of data. That said, maybe making small packages would be a better incentive.

Download 10 ebooks painting

Etc

The incentive would be better for 100 ebooks, but it would be more overwhelming too. The traffic would be larger, but it wouldnt be more targetted.

I feel like in this day and age youre better off targetting microniches and longtail keywords.

Narrow down, get more targetted traffic. Be more specific on the offer, compete with less competition for a smaller pool of traffic.

Its like a website. 100 articles promoting 1 product, or 100 articles promoting 100 products? Youre not going for authority, but you can be large on the specific needs people have and longtails.

You are right, 10 topical ebooks can be more meaningful than 100 and more tagreted too. If the ranking goes well, this can generate a nice autopilot daily income. Keep us updated.
 
Nice method, I will try this , I did this method with a landing page but its not working, any tips where to download free ebooks except plr? thanks

The internet's full of them.

If you wanna be a bad boy, they dont have to be PLR. Just rename it and edit out any links and personally identifiable info out of the PDF. Maybe go for ebooks that are not brand new so the owners wont be on the lookout.

But i guess PLR would be better. Protect you from any reports, video removals/channel terminations.

I dont know man, im just making it up as i go :D
 
And who will have motivation to download a shitty pack with ebooks. People prefer to pay low amounts - for example 5 $ than completing these never ending cpa offers requesting tons of personal info about them

Lots of times the file does not even unlock even the user completed the offer.
I would be interestee to see how it works. I had this idea years ago but never started

Very true...I tried to put up a content lock offer and first tried it myself. First of all the survey etc was not optimized for mobile and was distorted, then it was never ending, took me more than ten minutes, and in the end the original page where the button was clicked to download the file disappeared and there was no file to be downloaded. Think as the end user, you would need tons of motivation.....thats why gamers looking for hacks, coins, etc have that kind of motivation and those offers work even when those coins, hacks are fake. They keep coming back to check in the hope that the new hack might work or 1 out of 10 hacks might work.
 
i'm doing someting similar from 31 dec 2020 till now, i create a brand new youtube channel and i usend cpalead for the content locking network, the channel is in a foreign language not english, i've posted only 2 vids on the channel i got about 155 views without buying anything, and earn $5,71.
i only post 2 videos on the channel because the content is a little bit hard to find. content lock still work just try many things and stick with the ones that work.
and if some one like @CPA GOD can give us some few tips it will be very helpful :)
