Make Money With Video Arbitrage
If you haven’t noticed, arbitrage is my favourite method for making money. This is a pretty slick way of making some cash, especially now.
This method envolves Unruly Media, a network which pays you every time you get someone to view their videos. Like in all arbitrage methods, you’ll have to find a source for cheap traffic which you can send to Unruly Media. Don’t use adsense, it is way to expensive. Instead try newer less used networks , AdEngage is a perfect network for this.
After you’ve signed up to both sites, or anyother sites you are fans of, find the best campaigns to promote on Unruly Media. There are 2 ways you can choose which campaign to promote, you can either promote the ones which pay the most, or you can promote the “sexy” videos. Both have their advantages, the ones which pay more will get you more gross profit. But adult traffic is usually cheaper, and better converting (people are really horny, and will almost defientaly view a free video).
After you decide on what video to promote, you’ll have to setup a landing page for all the traffic you get. Just make a quick 1 page site + relating domain(or any random domain that you happen to own).
You’ve now finished all the preperation, all you have to do now is run your ad on AdEngage and watch the money role in. It’ll probably take some tweaking to find the right campaign settings and which videos are making the most money etc. The first time I tried this I broke even, the next time I made a profit of 100$. This was all before I discovered Unruly Media(which a close friend recommended), and now with all the experience I’ve gained I reckon I can pull in atleast 300$ of net profit (I also have more money to invest).
Feel free to comment saying that this is stupid, you just made 10000$ or you don’t understand something and want it explained more clearly.

Video always a great source of traffic. Much better if this is a viral one.

Simon,
Video is often used to drive viral traffic.

You could probably use adbrite to drive traffic for such a campaign.

This definitely sounds like a potential money maker. Thanks for the share!
