If you have no morals and you like dealing with the law, then spamming can be a quick route to that money you deserve. Huge spammers make millions but also face millions in fines. Many spammers come out on top and there are thousands of people making 100k salaries from adding spam to the internet. No wonder there is so much spam online. I think if many people were presented with a 300k salary, they would stop caring about the difference between black and white hats. Its amazing how much people hate spam, and it can be seen in the incredibly pathetic conversion rates. One study has shown that they only get one response per 12 million messages. If you would like to know more and eventually become a spammer, check out these links.

Blogging for money is not something you can really do to support yourself, unless you are hired to write. The internet is really full of people blogging, some with no intention of making money. Blogging is a passion. Some people get paid a couple hundred a month, but the time put into that kind of blogging will have you wondering why you didnt just get a McJob.

Its good to not look at Blogging as a monetary thing, instead look at it for its many other priceless purposes. People need people and a blog is good for networking and making like minded friends. A blog can help open your mind and keep you actively learning. So while blogging isn’t necessarily the quickest route to fortune, it can give you peace of mind and happiness, which is more than money can buy for some people.

Over 200 million videos on YouTube are being watched every day. Most of the videos watched are about music, personal blogs, entertainment, and comedy. Of course there are other categories, but this is what about 99 percent of people want to see. Simply putting an ad on YouTube cannot hurt, but it wont necessarily help. You need to make something viral, like I wrote about in my last post. Lady Gaga is the perfect example of how to properly advertise.  One of her music videos “Bad Romance” recieved over 120 million views in about four months. The video is unique and something that you want to show other people. What we dont see so much is that this video is advertising various products, like the Nintendo Wii, and Monster beats headphones by Dr. Dre. This is seen in many other music videos, as they get the most veiws of anything on Youtube. Seeing advertising in your favorite music video is not abrasive to the viewer and will keep them watching. Just putting an ad up will not get you any views or any response.

Making a video on YouTube can be a great  way to promote whatever your entrepreneurial endeavor is.  Just making a video doesn’t guarantee anything. Viral videos are created out of luck sometimes, but if you are serious about your business, you shouldn’t depend on luck. Here is the basic formula on how to make a viral YouTube video.

Keep it Short, Simple, and Sexy. People dont have a second to waste online, which is ironic. Simple videos can be remixed. Making it to the “top viewed” page is a big deal, so your initial view rate is extremely important. To boost your initial view rate, you need to make use of all the other social networking sites and blog like crazy. Collaborate and make friends. Make sure your thumbnail picture is as interesting as a hot chick, and that your title is as irresistible as a glass of water in a desert. Use tags that are relevant and get the most traffic. Encourage people to comment, give them something to talk about. You can also write comments for yourself to spark interest in conversation among others. Give people information that they need, people go to YouTube to learn. Dont ever make it look like an ad. The content needs to scream unique. When people scream hate at you, dont bother responding to it.  Follow these tips and make improvements as you learn what does and doesnt work.  If you have any tips on how to make a YouTube video viral, leave a comment and a link to your video. Thanks for reading, I hope it helps.
