Youtube Journey to Backpacking the World

How did you do this? Just upload a videos and get money??? How is that possible? By the way im just new here..

Sounds good.. you should also make a video journey of your trip.. try and cut some short vids and post them to youtube for each country/city you go to.. (although i'm not sure you can monetize that well.. but hey, you might make some buzz and then anythikng can happen)

That's exactly what I was thinking. My friend who is doing the trip starting this November is actually making a documentary of his entire trip. Something similar to A Map for Saturday. I also told him we should put up highlights and stuff on a Youtube channel and see what happens. Worst case scenario it's something for our families to see, or in the case of my mom, something to know I'm still alive -- she worries a lot haha.


Anyway, to my surprise no videos have been taken down. To add to that surprise, traffic was almost at it's all time high yesterday! Perhaps the extra 50 videos or whatever that are still online had a part to play in that. I can't really tell at the moment but that's most likely it since no single videos have much higher clicks than previously. I think today will be the most traffic I've had in a day. Too bad the amount of traffic didn't make a difference in earnings though. My conversion rate was a little lower than usual yesterday.

As for earnings I still managed to hit $50 yesterday as I thought I would. Perhaps today I will hit $60.

Work wise today my first order of business is to whip up some bacon. After that I'm going to get to work on the landing pages and if there's any time before I have to go to work I'll start putting them into MVB Pro.

All for now.

I was just doing some thinking, and I'm starting to think I might actually be able to do the trip starting this November. The only thing is that I won't have the full budget saved up. Instead I'll just be getting paid throughout the trip. Of course the caveat is that I have to find ways to keep up with my IM stuff. I guess it's really going to come down to what's happening around September time. My income at that time is really going to either make it or break it.

I'll keep you guys posted!

Finished all of the landing pages for all 15 videos, imported them all into MVB Pro and duplicated them TWICE, as I will from here on out for a total of 45 new videos. This brings the total video count up to 362. I just started the upload process and I'm pretty excited to see if I hit some good niches with this batch. I guess we'll find out in the upcoming days.

Yesterday was a pretty damn good day! Surpassed $80 which shocked even myself! Looks like I'm doing something right.

15 out of the 45 videos I set to upload yesterday didn't make it online because of some account issues. I'll get those up later but for now I'm just going to boost a bunch of my older videos.

So all of my newest videos went down already. Really not too sure why. Could have just used bad ips from my VPN. I am reuploading 15 of them right now to see if they go down again. The other 5 videos I chnged the links on are still up, so that's looking promising.

Yesterday I made over $70. Not as good as the previous day, but still pretty good. My clicks have been pretty low so far today but we'll see what happens.

Looks like lots of my current accounts in this batch already have "Suspicious activity". I guess that explains why the videos went down so fast. Hopefully the ones that aged through the suspicious activity will survive.

I have come to the conclusion these accounts are not worth using. I will be ordering some new ones as soon as I can to get back on track. The 5 videos I changed the links on are still up, but keep in mind they were uploaded on an account from a separate batch.

Here's the lowdown: I know with just my new videos up I can probably bit hitting $80+ day. I', also pretty confident that with the rest of my videos up I can make a good $100+/day. My plans now are going to be giving all of my videos new links and getting them uploaded. I also want to duplicate many of my older videos. I'm pretty sure once I get them duplicated and get 100% of my videos online I could be looking at $150/day. Today I am going to work on some of this stuff and also order in some new accounts.

Earnings for yesterday surpassed $70 again, although it was pure luck because I had some bigger leads. I assume today will be more along the lines of $40-50, but you never know.

All for now.

Cheers,

good luck .......!

Well... I was planning on doing only a little work today and playing a LOT of Majora's Mask with my day off, but since I just received 100 new accounts, I suppose it's time to get down to business.

EDIT: Listening to some tunes from when I first started grinding Youtube. Really brings back some memories and pumps me up! Feel free to listen with me, just don't listen to the tracks I made. They're awful haha.

Been a little while since I've posted here! Main reason being: I haven't done anymore work since my last post. So what's going on then? Well, I've been busy playing Majora's Mask. Sure I could be doing some more work but I really needed to just step away from work for a little while. Now that being said, earnings have in no way taken any hits. In fact, since I have been away I had my first $100 day with PPD! It looks like I am for sure going to be hitting my goal of $1500 for this month, and more than likely make over $2k. It's still no $300/day, but I think hitting that first $100/day is a major milestone. It's kind of like people who say the first million is the hardest. Well, I think the first $100/day is the hardest too. By that point you know what makes money and you know your method inside and out.

Whew. That was a long paragraph! So what are my plans now? First things first to get all of my eggs out of the same basket. Just before posting this I added a new offer into CLP. We'll see how it converts today and if it performs well I will keep it in the mix. Once I have 2 networks working side by side I am going to get the rest of my videos online. I haven't even really begun to reupload all the videos that kept getting deleted. So far I've only uploaded my newest set of videos which to my surprise is performing very well! I plan on getting all of my videos online soon by giving them brand new links so they stick. As of right now I haven't lost ANY videos since my last post here 4-5 days ago.

WOAH! Forgot I was writing this post now and just came back to 1 click and 1 conversion on the new offer I added. That's promising.

Anyway, $300/day by the end of September is looking very attainable at this moment in time, and I really do believe I will hit that goal and possibly even exceed my expectations as I already have.

That's all for now. I wish I could post screenshots of my earnings but I'm just far too paranoid of networks dropping in on journals like these.

Cheers everybody!

Managed to set a new record today! Made over $110! New offer is performing decently and I am going to continue running it for now. I guess that means tomorrow I have some work to do involving getting more videos online.

Oh! I also forgot to mention that 5 days ago or something I also boosted some of my videos. I don't think it had much of an effect on my overall earnings though since I haven't seen traffic coming from those specific videos. I'll start getting videos ranked soon, just need to get them all online first.

really nice...no work but increasing in income..soon it will be passive income for you..ready to start backpacking eh?..

Good journey that proved the thoughts i had in my head "Autopilot!!"..Bro you are a programmer, you shouldn't buy accounts or get even 1 account banned...Code yourself an Bot that does everything you do (except making videos )..Really from boosting to accounts...Peace of cake..But congrats my mate i love your persistence half of earth would have gave up a month ago

BTW what kind of cpa offers are you using for these niche.. Pin/email submits? free signups? first page? credit card...What worked the best?

It's good to hear that you are doing very well.

I didn't work for close to a week but now I'm getting ready to scale up to that $300/day goal! And yea, it's really starting to look like starting the trip this November is a possibility. Just have to keep things stable and hope my friend's loan gets approved.

Just because I can code doesn't mean I need to reinvent the wheel. All of these things are done already and coding such a piece of software would take a very long time. Not to mention a custom software to boost views wouldn't work as well as u2bviews since they use real views. As far as offers go you really just need to split test and see what works best for you. I run anything that pays high and converts easily.

Thanks! But I'm still not at the earnings I want to be at. Even $300/day isn't where I want to be at, but I think $300/day would be perfect for backpacking since I cant work on things everyday. So even if some videos go down I'll still be making a decent chunk of change.


Anyway, so far today I'm already past $50. I assume I will hit over $100 again today. Unfortunately I woke up late today so I don't know how much work I'll get done, but I'm aiming to get 20 of my old videos' links changed and then upload them. Might do more later after work tonight.

Cheers!

Made it past $100 once again yesterday. I still don't feel satisfaction though. I NEED to hit my $300/day goal! I lost 30 or so videos today. Nothing major. Today I'm going to change the links on ALL of my dead videos and get them online! It'll be a long process but it should be well worth it.

Right now it's 2pm and I've made $40 so far. Not too sure if I'll hit $100 again, but it sure would be nice!

Not much else to report. Going to get to work now!

Cheers,

Bad news. Didn't earn much more yesterday. Lots of the videos I reuploaded died later the same night. Lots also stayed up though so it could have been due to bad ips or bad accounts. The set of 75 videos that's been performing really well have all gone down. I'm currently reuploading them right now without changing the links. I don't think it's necessary to change the links on those ones yet but I could be wrong.

Probably going to earn about $20 today which really sucks compared to making $100. I guess that's just the way she goes sometimes. It's ok. I don't believe I failed. In reality, I actually gained some valuable data. Mostly that these 75 videos can easily take me to $100/day. Getting these videos to stick is my main priority. The next thing I plan on trying is to do only 1 video/acc. After that I think I need a video cleanup. Need to get rid of crappy performing videos/niches.

I STILL BELIEVE I can hit $300/day by the deadline (Oct. 1st). Obviously I can take my earnings to $100/day in a couple of nights, therefore it must be possible to take it to $300/day just as easily -- easy being a bad word, no one said making that kind of cash was ever easy.

I know I've fallen off the productive track and that's also playing a major role in my earnings right now. I'm almost done 100%ing Majora's Mask which is a good thing, because once that's done I'm going to be taking IM a lot more seriously again. I also need to start waking up at 8am again instead of 1pm. Damn you delayed sleep phase syndrome. I'm not just stopping there though. This is an entire life overhaul. I've been on a ketogenic diet for a few weeks now but haven't taken it fully serious. So I'm going to working on myself as well as IM.

I really can't wait for the new month to begin. It's always awesome to look back on the past month and see my accomplishments and my -- for lack of a better word -- failures. I would really like to start documenting all of this stuff. It's nice to look back and say I should have done this or that so I don't make the same mistake twice.

Anyway, I don't know what people really think of this thread. I know it doesn't have any fancy graphics or clean formatting, but hopefully some people are still following it anyway. If you are following it, please leave some comments, questions, ANYTHING. Even if you have questions about something not IM related, I don't care. I'll try to help as best as I can.

Here's to recognizing our failures as small successes.

Cheers,
xxf8xx

You're doing really good... it seems like these last 30 days have been good for you.
It's clear that hard work pays off.
Thanks for continually keeping us updated.
