You have a media buyer who is happy to teach you. Cut the check and stop making me look like an asshole for introducing you as someone who could get shit done.

I think an online course in media buying would be interesting to take...

Are there any good ones?

Whatever terms they agreed to. The media buyer is the best I've ever used, hands down. Used him for mainstream and adult. He usually dials it in after about $10k per product.

Here is a tip about internet marketing..

When you find something that works, you dont go tell everyone. Because then 1000 people do it, and it wont work.

For example, i found a trick with youtube where i could get top SE spots in 1 week. I could build pr7 pages within a few hours.

Why would i go tell everyone how to do this? It wont work anymore if everyone does it.

You will find some beginer tips, but to get real results you need to test stuff for yourself and play around with different methods

First off, less than 10% of people ever take action to implement anything. Most of them are in a perpetual search for that magic bullet, which will help them work once, then make enough to retire and live off of that.

Second, no one says you should give it away for free. People are willing to pay for such info, even if most of them don't even go through all the info, let alone implement anything.

The theory is sound and I can't argue with it. However, the reality isn't always congruent with theory. Let me illustrate my point.

Say you're making $50/vid (theoretical figure I just pulled out of my ass) and you can submit and rank 10 vids/day. Assuming you work a "regular" amount of time (8hrs/day, 5 days/week) you're up to say 21 days' worth in a month. So $50 * 10 * 21 = $10500/mo.

This is no doubt a decent income. Won't make you rich, but you'll have a fairly comfortable life. However, if you put it into a product format and sold the method, how much do you think people would pay, if you told them what you're teaching them will help them make $125K+/year? If you have good enough marketing skills, you should be able to sell such a product for $500 a pop, or even $1000 (but that might be pushing it a bit). Sure, you'd need to have a very polished product, with lots of fluff, bells and whistles, but that's not really a problem. So let's get back to your 1000 figure, say you sell your product to that many. At $500 a pop, that would net you 4 years income. Do you think you'd give a flying fuck if the market gets saturated at that point and people will be competing with you? Or would you rather leave all that crap behind you and instead focus on selling another 1000 copies of your product?

Anyway, these are obviously theoretical and exaggerated numbers. Nevertheless though, the level of increased competition is greatly offset by the additional profit you make from selling the blueprint.

Actually you can find pretty much anything for free, if you look hard enough. However, the problem lies in putting in that effort to do your research, then try stuff out for yourself to see if it works, rinse and repeat.

Most people are too lazy to even do the research, nevermind do any testing. But the REALLY smart ones pay for that info, instead of spending months and months on researching and testing shit on their own.

Let's use the YouTube vids product example above again. If you're to research and test that out on your own you'd be out, what, 2-3 months? But let's say you're a really smart cookie and prolific as hell, so you get the hang of it in 2 weeks. That month you'd be making $5K. BUT, had you bought the blueprint, you'd have made $10K instead, at a cost of $500. Opportunity cost is something very few people get, which is why most will always be stuck running on the treadmill for the rest of their lives.
