How To Make Money With VOD
June 22, 2008 7:51 am Webmaster TipsDisclaimer: What works for me may not work for you. Also, VOD is for long-term income. If you want instant cash from sales, don’t bother reading this. If you have a very very low traffic site, this may not be for you at this time.
I’m going to show you how to earn long-term income with AEBN. VOD (Video On Demand) is hugely popular. It’s a way to get surfers to come to your site to see movies and not go to torrents and tube sites.
Now, let’s talk about stats.
In the first month of advertising, my stats were
03/2003 9
this means I had 9 members sign up
I now have 8,000+ members.
That first month I made $26.92. I make a minimum of 4 figures a month now and each month that increases. I expect to be in the five figure range within a year or so.
What I first do, for blogs, is offer a free movie of the day. I put this at the top of my sidebar. AEBN has this for niches and fetishes, and it costs you nothing. Make sure you have a big bookmark tag on your site so people can return each day to watch the movie and look at your website.
Then, depending on my site and niche, I offer a freebie.
Looking at my stats, for one website
587 587 18 $329.51
587 people clicked on the link and got a link for their freebie and 587 (all of them) got their freebie. Of those, 18 people bought more time and so far this month it has earned me $329.51 from this single site. I did nothing but put up the link.You can offer them many freebies, from
Pay-per-view Minutes
10 Minutes
15 Minutes
30 Minutes
Streaming Rental
1 Free Rental
Download
1 Download
1 Download To Own
My text usually says something like “AS A THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY SITE, YOU CAN GET 15 FREE MINUTES OF (niche) MOVIE VIEWING AT NO COST. NO obligation at all, I promise. Just click the link, enter your email address and you will receive 15 free minutes of movie viewing. You can watch a movie in any niche you want, too! What are you waiting for?”
I mix this up and change it out from the free 15-minute promo to a free download — “for today only you can download ONE FREE MOVIE at no cost!”
Ok, so now you give them free time and a free movie viewing, but you check your stats and see you made $12. Do you give up? NO NO NO. VOD is long-term, meaning this month you make $12 but in a year you could be earning 10 times that. Every member you sign up theoretically will return to buy time and see more movies.
Niche traffic works best for this, of course. Customize your text to your traffic, since you know your traffic.
I also have a theatre that’s been up since 2003. I had a design made that beats every design I have ever seen. I have links out there for my theatre but I honestly don’t push it much. SE traffic helps a lot, links on blogs, etc. I have a dozen theatres but this one does the best for me.
Theatres are available at no cost and you can brand them with your own
logo at the top.
Again, this is long-term income. You won’t make $35 per member for each signup like you do short term. Long term, however, you can and will make much, much more. As one webmaster said, he still gets checks every month from links he put up 3-4 years ago and forgot about.
My referral code is in this post. Sign up under me. I will not know who has signed up under me or how much you make, however. With some sponsors I can see your name and how much you earn if I refer you but AEBN does not show that. I will see a total $ amount for all referrals, so your info is safe.
Try it and give it a few months. What do you have to lose?
