In the past 30 days my videos have just shy of 50,000 views. For products where people want to hear more of an opinion I think it is helpful to show your face. Faceless videos – I have seen some discussion here and in Youtube about if it is better to show your face talking or to just have your hands showing the product and do a voiceover. I didn’t realize at the time if the seller didn’t have a video that my video would never show up with the product images.

- Usually there will be several product images and the last one will be a video.
- Once I did that I immediately stopped selling any hard drives and my video did not show up anywhere.
- Which items to review – Purchased vs Free vs existing vs Commissioned – Ultimately, how you get the item does not matter as much as what the item is and how popular it is.
- During the first month or two I rarely sold any of the item.
- I live in the UK and I’m trying to buy a specific product only sold from Germany.
- Sometimes it is hard to know what products will sell well which is where quantity might have a benefit.
In my experience when I have purchased things on my own, while some things have done well, on average I have not broken even with these products. The first time I did this, I did this for a clothing item that was super popular but didn’t have any videos. On one item my video showed up as the last video in the video carousel for a day or two but only got a handful of views before it went away. A lot of time these products are new so you may be the first one to have a video.

- In my experience I have not really seen one way work better than the other.
- For me personally, if I am really interested in an item I will typically do the video for free.
- I would not recommend purchasing items for review unless you are already having a good amount of success selling items.
- Holiday Earnings – For major holidays where the whole country gets the day off I notice a huge drop in earnings usually the day of or the day after (or both).
- To me the single biggest indicator of monetary success is simply choosing the right product to review.
- Based on the last 30 days each of my videos is averaging about $11 per month.

View fluctuation – Many of my videos have experienced some sort of fluctuation where they do well for a while, then don’t, then do well again. Likewise, I have several videos that I would not consider to be very good quality but they get thousands of views and hundreds of sales. I have several videos that I would consider to be higher quality that have few or no views. Based on the last 30 days each of my videos is averaging about $11 per month.

I never purchase items just for the sake of reviewing them. Which items to review – Purchased vs Free vs existing vs Commissioned – Ultimately, how you get the item does not matter as much as what the item is and how popular it is. Some of my videos with the most helpful votes don’t really sell well and some of my videos with very few helpful votes do sell well. I expected to see patterns like higher average view duration, longer videos, or more helpful votes.

If I am not super interested in the item I will charge a commission. If the product takes off this can put you in a good spot. Holiday Earnings – For major holidays where the whole country gets the day off I notice a huge drop in earnings usually the day of or the day after (or both). I would say this is the second best location for your video to show up.
In my experience it is almost always best to just tag one single item per video. Tagging Multiple products – I did a video for a hard drive. It could end up that the product sells poorly and you never make any money off your video. I suspect that higher quality videos will do better for longer but I have seen some of my videos perform poorly that I would deem better than the other videos. Of my top 10 highest grossing and top 10 highest viewed videos about half of the thumbnails have a person (me) in them.

After uploading these videos I have averaged uploading about 40 videos a month. Would I need to pay any extra costs once my items arrive in the UK?

Over the past few months being in the program I not only think it is possible to do this as a full time job I think it might even be likely (though probably not for a few more years).
