Using Music on YouTube for free traffic
This guide will show you how people are making the most out of uploading popular songs on YouTube and monetizing them with CPA offers.
Warning
As always run Black hat methods at your own risk, I highly suggest sticking to music and videos you have permission to use!
Find a popular song
So you need to grab a popular song that's currently in the charts on going to be searched for on YouTube.
Create a Video
Create a video with the song playing and then a nice background image, DO NOT make the image offer related - keep it related to your artist or song, maybe find a sexy image of them. Bare in mind a nice image will increase the CTR of the video on thumbnails on other videos. Also place a short text box on top of your video saying.
"Chance to Win YOUROFFERNAME in the Description"
Upload The Video
Properly upload your video with keyword rich titles that will get picked up when someone wants to listen to your desired song.
Pay attention to the Description
Ok so now comes the bit where you monetize your video. In the description you will need to find a related CPA offer for example something music related. It may be a iPod offer, or maybe itunes gift card etc.
Cloak you affiliate link and place a short sentence in the description, for example "Enter the competition to Win an iPod".
Here's and example of a recent video at 500k views.
Drive Traffic
Get some backlinks and traffic to your videos to get the ball rolling, this thread will help.
Test
Make sure you test different video backgrounds, thumbnails, etc. Also test using a compliant and informative description to start with until your video goes viral.
