I, myself, have a couple of similar gold mines. 150k per month straight from youtube is however a big accomplishment, that's why i am curious about his conversion rate. At 30$ per sign up - conservative for any adult program- that would require about 5,000 sign ups. A ratio of 1:1000 --> 5 mil uniques from youtube per month. I do not think someone can pull those numbers of youtube nowadays only with semi adult content.
You are absolutely right. I don't question what he has been able to do in the past, or what continues to come in from existing clips. Selling 'spots' will work. The part I have a problem buying in to is him wanting to charge to show you how to do it.

In my experience, the clear indicator that a method is played out and no longer viable is when the eBooks and 'how to' guides start showing up. All the eBook shit out there that people peddle for anywhere from $4.95 to $495 is selling a dream based on reality that is years out of date.


Edit - and to be clear, I am in no way calling him a scammer or anything of that nature. It is a valid business model to do what he is doing. I am just giving him a little ribbing and taking the piss out of him.
