YouTube Videos Are Worthless For Referrals

[Eric Sherman]

So there are a few reactions I'm going to get. I'm really expecting the people who are trying to sell these videos to burst in here the quickest. Defend it as you wish, you won't win.

Ok so just to get you started with YouTube videos the average rewards1 video is a plain old background with some typing done in paint. Then they go through the same list of free prizes. The better ones actually show the prize, others just list them. They are between 1:00-2:00 in length usually depending upon the length of time given to read a given statement.

Why not get referrals with YouTube videos? Simply put, it can be better described with words. Create a blog and instead of linking to your youtube video link to the blog post. YouTube videos will only give you views when you are spamming the link all over the internet. The day after you stop spamming this link you will slowly see you views stutter to a halt.

You may argue that the top 2 referrers in March used YouTube videos as their main source. I'm aware of that. I'm also aware of how they continue to receive these views. Not wishing to divulge this information I'll put it simply. They are ranked number one under a certain keyword searched for several thousand or more times everyday.

You won't be able to do this. Why not? There are people who hire workers to get them to the top of certain keywords. That is how hard it is to get on the front page of Google. It takes months to gain these spots of the most popular keywords. Granted there are a few cases where people get lucky and somehow get these top spots.

Still not convinced you? I suggest making your own. It will take you maybe 30 minutes tops and you have everything you need on your computer already. Why should you give somebody 1,600+ ms points for a video that takes 30 minutes or less to make? 1,600 ms points is $20 USD. So if they had 2 customers an hour they would be earning $40 an hour for basically refilming the same video for numerous people.

Ok, if you care to argue this you are almost surely selling these videos. Either that or you have a youtube video in which you have no idea where the views are coming from ie you are indexed rather highly on some keyword.

Dont listen to him they do work! Everyone who has had youtube videos work for them speak up!

[Eric Sherman]

I'm actually curious in that. Everybody who has a youtube video with lets go with 50k or more views post a link to your youtube video and your rewards1 referral count. I know bdvu has a lot as I referred to him in the opening statement. If my thoughts are correct there will be a maximum of 2 youtube videos getting people 50k+ views.

[BlackPlastic]

I was actually referred with a youtube video, exept it wasn't a video about rewards1. No one is going to search for that. It was in the comments for some music video posted on youtube and the guy gave a short list of instructions on how to do it and I clicked the link there, joined and started doing offers.

I don't see why in the world people would buy youtube videos that explain rewards1 because the fact of the matter is no one wants to watch that stuff.

[bradrulez1]

youtube videos do kinda suck seen how many referrals i have but how many little points from them so ive started to make a site www.rewards1-guide.tk see what happens a?? i have a lot of time a can devote to it

[david]

It's true, I made a website and it took 6 months to top google (its not related to R1 so i shant list it).

[doubleheman]

I have to say youtube videos do work all my refferals apart from about 10 of them are from youtube videos. I will give you a Tip if you can not get refferals from youtube videos you have to keep your videos and your ideas for your videos fresh and new that works really well.

[Eric Sherman]

You've made 21 points of your referrals in several months. If you paid 1,600 ms points for your videos you would have made a profit of 1.79 points in several months of hard advertising. Even if you made it yourself, the amount of time you've spent linking to those has to be close to making yourself $0.20 an hour or less.

[blademog]

Okay, thats why mick mathis got 16 point in a week by doing nothing right???

[Hope]

haha thahnks blademog =) AND YES YOUTUBE vIDEOS ARE NOTHING NEAR "worthless"

[Eric Sherman]

Compared to other techniques they are. Mick, what makes you think they aren't "worthless" to the average user? Anybody can make a successfull blog with a little work, not everybody can succeed with youtube.

[Hope]

I am sure they are not worthless because I AM the average user. As the average user my referrals were increased heavily. And by the way Eric: dang your pretty good at Halo =/

[Eric Sherman]

Are you the sick puppy guy I played with?

See increasing your referrals heavily compared to what you were doing pre-youtube can mean many things. One you had next to zero from spamming forums, or you just told a few friends about it.

[TiN TiN]

Some people have success with videos while others dont. It just depends on the way you advertise them and blademog I would have not posted that. I would have kept it to my self

[breakers22]

Eric posted another thread about your referral id and where you got referred. Most of the people said I got referred on youtube including myself.

[hightower]

You can say whatever you want but in my opinion and experience they aren't terribly effective.

The best method, i'd say, is make a website or blog, allbeit a freeweb or a blog!

Hope i've helped

hightower

[doubleheman]

Blogs or web sites have never worked for me. Most of my refferals are from youtube videos.

[blademog]

exactly!!! I removed my recent post (thanks tin, forgot that i was only supposed to do that for my clients) which said how to get a $hit load of hits on a vid. This method along with another method i wont disclose will give you so many referrals and points. You just have to do this once and you let the viewers do the rest.

Thats exactly the case with mickamthis, btw, how many referral earnings do u have now??

[blademog]

sherman is so wrong with this. Take this down, its so completely stupid and retarted. I only had 1 vid with my ref link and i get 5 referrals a day by doing nothing.

[Eric Sherman]

Blade how often are you advertising it. I'll bet your spamming forums with your video and so much more. If not you've gotten lucky on some keyword that is rarely searched for. The reason so many people get reffered by youtube videos is bdvu and the guy who won the last referral contest. Both of them have done something that will continue to give them referral after referral. There are 2 extremely good videos, everyone elses videos seem to be going at it the wrong way, or just not lucky. Once again, the referrals rate is pretty much constant on earnings per referral. You may be lucky to get 1 of those 5 refferals to complete atleast one offer. I'm getting +/- 20/30 a day and that's without advertising it. Anyways like I said 2 guys got successful, others are attempting. Wasting their time.

[hightower]

I suppose what this all boils down to is your experience with different methods. does it not?

[Eric Sherman]

I've yet to try a youtube video as I'm not paying somebody for something worth 50 cents, and am too lazy to make my own. Referrals are hard to come by without advertising the videos.

[roblanownz]

hmmm i wonder where my 135 referrals came from.
If only i had a way to trace them back to where they signed up.
Youtube vids are only 1/4 of what i do for referrals.
the rest is a secret =_=

[blademog]

actually, i dont spam forums, i dont touch it and rack in some points

LoL

[Eric Sherman]

Ha funny. ****ing spammers get a thread.

[NOCReaper]

:] Accually Youtube Videos are quite valuble when trying to get referrals

[Eric Sherman]

NOC Reaper, you have no evidence. You've been spamming the forum for less than 24 hours and have over 100 posts. I'm pretty sure you don't have a video so your not welcome in the discussion.

[blademog]

seriously, we NEED a mod

[david]

Yes we do and as soon as we get one, spammers will be booted :)

[blademog]

thats great, we can get this site cleaned up

[shinn4]

It does suck ssry to say it breakers22 and blademog since i made 3 videos and i put good tags and my referral link and after 1 week i still dont have even 1 referrals

[tada1234567]

youtube videos r pretty worthless becouse there is so many of them

[Eric Sherman]

Very nice, some more support.

[cashflow10]

dawg theres like 10 billion members on youtube an like 500,000 new a day i really doubt the fact that theres 1000 rewards1 videos is gonna matter there PLENTY of people who dont know about it yet

[mikogoincyco93]

blackpastic that was me =] i do that all the time and it works!

[david]

That's funny, there are only 6.7 billion people in the world.

[bradrulez1]

That's funny, there are only 6.7 billion people in the world.

lol you tell him david or should i call you elbert einstien now :p

[mikogoincyco93]

no i post random videos and say to come to rewards1 to support me and it usually works

[M0nk3yb01]

That's funny, there are only 6.7 billion people in the world.

that must be a sucky job to keep track of all those people :P

[knucklessonic8]

YT Vids work. Enough said. But I can see where you're coming from.

[Eric Sherman]

Actually, not enough said. What's you user number? You top 15 in the contest? How many do you have? The fact that you have a measly 70 referrals according to your sig shows that youtube is not good for refs in your case.

[needreferralsnow]

whats a blog and how can i make one?

[yepuu]

youtube videos do kinda suck seen how many referrals i have but how many little points from them so ive started to make a site www.rewards1-guide.tk see what happens a?? i have a lot of time a can devote to it

[Mushy2000]

[Mason]

i agree with you eric... i have a video with over 4000 veiws but i only have 33 refs...

[blademog]

well then your video must suck..but it doesnt work for everyone. Only select few who are lucky (me) get enough to be in 4th place in the contest

[Mason]

not relly a rewards1 video anyways =]

[scyrusurcys]

I wouldn't be so black-and-white about the thread title - it all depends on how you grasp the attention of your viewers if you do create a video and put it on YouTube. Yes, tags are also an important element to keep in mind but your main video title is where the thought should be applied. I won't share my tags or title here, but just be aware of what videos get all the attention on YouTube. Your opening frames in the movie you create should require a lot of thought on what you should say to capture the attention of your viewers.

You will either be successful or unsuccessful with YouTube. There's no other way to put it.

[Matt_hew86]

Out of the 20 or so referrals ive made from youtube, only 2 of them have done any offers; slightly dissapointing

[Dmagus]

my personal opinion, youtube can be resourceful, like its resourcefulness is limitless. But it is almost impossible to get any referrals now since that there are over probably 1000 rewards1 videos on there. That doesnt include the other free prize offer sites like ********** or gaming lagoon etc. so now it is nearly useless to use youtube to get an effective amount of referrals or points for that matter. In my own experience, it has been very useless for me to make a video and have gotten no referrals off of it.

Trust me Youtube is Successful... Eric told me that I only had a big rush of people Signing up was because of my subscriber base on youtube and he said that would go away after a while... and I have already been here about 20 days and have 160+ Refs and over 35 dollars worth of referrals and I have did a lot of offers my self earning totaly lifetime of aaround 80 bucks.... I have only 1 video up on youtube thats it... I havn't did anything since...and they just keep coming in

[blademog]

cuz he's a noob

[Dmagus]

The thing about youtube is, it is a hit or miss, in your case you hit. In more cases than less, people miss because of all of the rival links and rival sites. Those stack up into thousands upon thousands of videos and referrals that are gonna be looked at over mine or someone elses. Im not arguing that youtube is not a great place to begin or to rake in referrals, its proven so, but there are so many other competitors it is a slim to none chance that the person that made the 1 video, that has hardly been seen, is gonna benefit from the video.

[scyrusurcys]

I may be a noob here, but I just thought this thread needed a bit of support for those of us who take the time to put together a video.

[Dmagus]

well, i myself am making a video right now, i do support it, but there are alot of reasons why it might not benefit the maker.

[knucklessonic8]

Indeed. Either it works for you or it doesn't.
