How To Make Money With Youtube Basics
I am going to do a video marketing series, but this should get you going for now.
I got some “dirty tactics” that I am going to throw out there as well. These mainly have to deal with traffic generation and how to make a cool video site. I won’t go into too much about monetization as you can figure out what you want to do with your video sites yourself. I will show you how to get some awesome automated traffic coming.
Video Marketing is becoming quite huge. Heck just the other day, I saw Darren Rowse from Problogger had a video up on his blog. Videos are a huge source of entertainment and news. They are so much better to view than sit and spend lots of time reading text.
Promoting niche video sites is a step of the evolving affiliate marketer. Yes, there is HUGE changes taking place in the marketing world, and if your not staying on top of it, then your only limiting yourself.

Pligg For Sale Has Been Confirmed
It has been confirmed that Pligg is up for sale. I am generally kept up to date on this site as I have seen bunches of this open source content management system passed about all over the net. I actually had not even heard about TechCrunch and Mashable reporting the sale until I visited the Digital Point Thread this morning. I was a little shocked actually by the announcement.
Here are a little domain and page statistics I found on Sedo.com. This is where all actual bids are supposed to go.
Pligg is known to be a popular but very disputed content management system. It can spit out Digg site clones like it was nobodies business. I have seen tons of these myself. In a post at DP a person who seems to be in close contact if not employed by Pligg has reported this from an email.
The Pliggcommunity has grown larger than ever expected, with over 10,000 registered users sharing and trading tips, more than 60,000 Sourceforge downloads and 2 IRC rooms that are active 24/7. It’s become an extremely large project and community to manage. We all have day jobs and struggle to find enough time to keep up the pace. We’ve seen many online businesses develop products to support Pligg recently. Selling everything from custom templates and modules, to support and installation. This is a clear example that with the proper team in place, Pligg.com could easily dominate the other markets in this area. Pligg has even created a shop where users could purchase modules, templates and services, but this feature has yet to be launched.
All serious bids should be made through the Sedo.com listing or by contacting me through the forum.
Make Money With Yahoo Answers – Q & A Responses
In my post the other day Make Money With Yahoo Answers, I had stated that I would be open for a Q & A session. I have received all the questions and will answer them now based on my experiences and speculations I have.
Question 1. When answering your questions do you send them to the
CPAs direct link? Or are you making a landing page
with the link on it?
Looks like a strategy based question from someone who looks serious on implementing with Answers :). Based on my own experience I have not used landing pages. In the beginning, I was sending traffic to my own sites with a my domains. Since using this with lead generation networks, all I really do is use a generic domain and make a sub-domain on it. I then setup redirection for the subdomain via CPanel. This is the fastest way for me to handle it, and the staff member who I have working there just has a set of links to the various offers, making their job easier to answer questions.
Question 2. Are you seeing what other people are asking and then
ask the same type of questions?
In a way yes and in a way no. I am a really quick learner, but I have also been in the industry a bit now and I feel I have a pretty good understanding on what will work and what will not, before I even try it. If your going to go that route, you could probably phrase your questions a bit differently, and still achieve a popular amount of answers, granted that the question you had just researched was a popular one.
Question 3. When answering other people questions are you sending
them with an affiliate link?

I am taking a Q & A session from now until tomorrow night. If you want to ask any questions hit me up at the email in the video. I will answer everyone to the best of my experience and knowledge.
Squidoo Cracking Down
Squidoo is once again cracking down. If you remember a few weeks, some really smart (note sarcasm) Bolivian spammer decided to crank out about 400 lenses a day. Wow, what a genius. Way to go and screw it up for everyone. Anyway, during the uproar this future cocaine dealer (most likely) caused, Squidoo decided to do away with iFrames. This gave me personally a really hard blow to the mid section. It barely missed my no no spot as I had only about 50 lenses with list signups. You might say 50 lenses? Yes, that is correct, 50 lenses with list signups. That is not the total number lenses in my possession. I am one for extreme numbers as you all know, so let us just say that I had QUITE a few lenses total.
They were all pretty damn good looking to. I custom built a lot of them myself before outsourcing the work to some fellow faraway offshore labor:). I had at least 3 modules on them so I was well within the Squidoo guidelines.
Enough of the rant, this is absolutely ridiculous what follows. It is not ridiculous in any means in regards to Squidoo. I completely understand the logic on their part. Here’s what they had to say:
Uh oh.
We’re worried that the lens you just published might be (gasp) spambait!Due to significant levels of abuse, there are certain topics that Squidoo just doesn’t permit lenses on. This page sure seems to cross into one of those areas. So, you’ve got three choices:
Go Back and Edit (I want to fix it)
Delete the lens! (I’ll make a lens on something else instead)
OR
