Classic Movie Site Monetized with CPA Lead’s Gateway Lock Method
The first method is all about using CPA gateways and movies, then harnessing the traffic of YouTube to earn big. This is an incredibly old and classic method but I will take you into full detail to insure that you earn a ton of cash with minimal effort.
This is my personal favorite YouTube method and my most profitable one. Many people dismiss this method citing saturation or whatever, like all things you just have to think outside of the box a little; let me show you how to do that. For starters I will be showing you how to use CPA Lead’s gateway, this is the simple method and the one that I use. You can also use third party gateway scripts but this requires faking the referrer and the scripts are not free. If you are involved in Black Hat CPA and feel comfortable with that then consider purchasing Black Hat Codebreaker. Earnings will be a bit higher but there are start-up costs and you need to know what you are doing or you will be banned for incentivized traffic and never get paid. CPA Lead is all about incentivized traffic and is very user friendly.
Your first step will be to get signed up with CPA Lead. In order to get accepted simply apply with a preexisting movie site. This can be setup in just a few minutes. Either embed some good trailers straight from YouTube onto your website or take it a step further and create a blog with a video theme. I recommend the second option this way you can use this blog for the method as well.
To do this simply install WordPress and then put on a movie theme. You can find a great free premium WordPress theme here (install of premium themes is more in-depth than regular ones but still simple, just be sure to read the instructions!). This theme makes adding movies a snap,
You can embed them from sites such as YouTube, Daily Motion, Youku, Veoh, etc. with the click of one button – it even creates thumbnails for you on the main page and includes some great plug-ins. Here is a demo of one of my CPA Lead gateway sites using this theme. Once your setup is complete it is time to choose a niche. Anything will do but some niche’s are better than others. Obviously movies that are still in theaters is the best niche as the demand is the highest. If this is the niche that you have chosen the head to Surfthechannel.com, go to ‘film and movies’ and then ‘new’. Pick out a couple of new movies and add them to your new blog (the theme above includes a plug-in which lets you do this with one click). Once you have a few movies up it is time to apply for CPA Lead. Fill out the information honestly, be sure to tell them that you have a network of websites like this that you wish to use the CPA Lead gateway on in order to monetize. That’s it; you will undoubtedly be accepted in short time and without the dreaded phone call if you have followed these steps.
Once approved you will want to create a gateway at CPA Lead’s website. After you have it looking like you want simply place it in the header.php file (before the tag) of your blog by editing this file via the theme editor. This will prompt your gateway to pop up whenever someone tries to watch a movie, forcing them to complete a survey which will pay you between $0.45 and $3.00 per person. You do the math here, just a couple hundred people wanting to watch your new release movie (I will show you how to use YouTube to get this many daily with ease) and you are earning a full time income!
Now that your CPA Lead gateway is up and running on your fabulous looking movie blog it is time to exploit YouTube in order to start driving tons of traffic to it. Open up Windows Movie Maker (its free and if you have Windows you have it) and create a new project. You will want to also find an image of this movie from Google Image search. Make this image take up somewhere around 5:00 by dragging it along. Now at the start of the video go to titles and credits and put something that says: “We are sorry but we had to remove this video due to copyright infringement. If you want to watch the full video you can stream it at yourmovieblog.com”. Drag this out to about 1:00 minute long. Now what you have accomplished is a video that appears to be long enough to be a part of the full video in search and the image that you selected will show up as the thumbnail in search as well. This will get people to come in thinking they can watch this movie here; already all excited a large percentage will go to your movie blog and a large percentage of those will complete your offer.
There are a few extra things that you need to do with this video in order to get the kind of traffic you require to really make some good money from your gateway. First of all make the title correct, it should be something like: Watch Star Trek 2009 Part 1/12 – this makes people think it is the real video but also throwing in the watch part allows you to rank on Google search results for someone who is searching for this video. YouTube naturally ranks well on Google, since they own YouTube, so this will bring in a nice boost of traffic as well. In your description make the first thing the URL of your movie blog, http:// included to make it clickable. After this simply copy and paste your title in again to be sure you are well optimized for your target key phrase. Fill your tags in with anything you can think of that pertains to this movie, always be sure to use the movie name and year as these are the most common search phrases.
From here it is time to get a nice little boost of traffic to set your YouTube video apart from the rest. Submit your video to the top social bookmarking sites; these include Digg.com, StumbleUpon.com and Propeller.com. This almost always brings in at least a few hundred visitors and gets you placed a bit higher in YouTube’s search results, if you are one of the first to have the video up people who complete your CPA Lead survey and watch it may even help it to go viral. Although this is fairly rare because of competition I have had it happen before and can mean hundreds of dollars in earnings in just an hour. In addition you should create one extra account to give yourself a five star rating; this makes you look more credible in search results.
This is all there is to the simple YouTube & CPA Gateway method. A good new release video can easily earn hundreds a day but remember to ramp it up, spend a few hours creating YouTube videos for each video that you put on your blog. Also go with different keywords for each video. On your second video try something such as “Stream Star Trek 2009 DVD Quality Free Part 1/11″, etc. This allows you to rank in Google for different key phrases and get more traffic. One final note is to be creative with your niches, certain things get HUGE but are short lived, look out for them and use them. These include Super Bowl commercials just after the game, PPV fights and celebrity sex tapes. Whenever one of these gets big jump on it, a few hours of work can easily yield up to $1,000 if you get in at the right time.

Thanks man
I’ll stick to this method and see
nice one… thanks for share
I bought your whitehat trend method and I like it. I used the above method to get approved also. My question is though, how do you get the gateway to load only after selecting the movie. I used the “add your own headers ” plug in, but it still load sthe javascript right away. Do you have to mod something?
