Hi there!
YouTube + PPI is a pretty solid and old method here on BHW but I decided to put up the ultimate help thread for it. A detailed and step-by-step guide to making your first income online. I made my first income online this way too. It wasn't much($68),but cashing it out was the best feeling ever and I haven't stopped since. Let's get some things clear and on with the method right away. Time to give back to the community.
*Why does the method stand out*
1. It doesn't require any investment on your part except your time.
2. It's pretty easy and very scaleable.
Pretty much what is described as "newb-friendly".
*What you need for the method*
1. A YouTube account - You can first start off with 1 account and later move on to more accounts. Keep in mind that you would have to use Proxies to operate more accounts. Else,you get banned.

2. An account on a PPI Network - I use Revenyou and always have. I don't get good conversion rates on other networks.
A member here on BHW owns a PPI network of his own called Purebits.However,they've been having a lot problems lately so I don't quite advice using them till they get their problems sorted.

*If you know better networks,feel free to use them.
3. Chrome browser - The reason you need Chrome browser is because we're gonna use a neat little Extension that will help you look at a competitor's Tags.
If you have used YouTube before you'll know just how much Tags help in ranking a video on YouTube.
Link to Extension - vidIQ Vision
Here's exactly how the Extension helps - http://prntscr.com/8mvw7x
It shows you a very detailed report of the video,including all tags used. You can one-click copy all tags.
4. Mediafire account - To upload files.
*METHOD*
1. Pick a niche. We're doing PPI so we're gonna have to pick something that will obviously involve the user to install something. So hacks/cracks/keygen/software work best.
*CNET's installers sort of have a PPI model to them.
When I was starting out,I used to play a game called WoW(World of Warcraft). It's quite popular and people are always looking for ways to extend their game subscription and it's something called "Wow game time" that you generate by buying Wow Game cards. So I just decided to go with promoting this particular item.
Obviously,I didn't have the real hack for this so I needed to make something of my own. I needed to make my own video to upload on YouTube but I didn't quite know editing and stuff so I just went ahead to YouTube and searched for "Wow game time" videos. I then went to the LAST PAGE of search results. Videos on the last page of search results always have the least amount of views. Some even have 0 views.
Just download the YouTube video. Add your watermarks if any and keep the video ready.
Many are gonna argue saying the video will get banned for Copyright reasons. However,you can get around this by Trimming the video and adding your music to it.
If it's a 3-4 minute long video,cut it short by 2 minutes. The shorter,the better.
If you have some knowledge making videos then you can make those quick Slideshow type of videos which just have changing slides on them.
The first slide says,"Hi,I'll show you the hack bla bla" and the second would be something like,"Check link in description for the hack". You can make a quick 1 minute video of this kind and use it too.
2. Get your PPI installer from the network.
Revenyou has 2 options - Use their Featured apps or upload your own. You can do either. I was informed earlier that Revenyou now has a waiting period to approve your uploaded files,so just use their "Featured Apps".
Here's how to get your file from Revenyou - 1. http://prntscr.com/8mw25c 2. http://prntscr.com/8mw2fd
3. After downloading file you can rename it to whatever you want and then create a .ZIP archive of it. Sites like Mediafire are very trusted(so users won't hesitate to download your file from them),but they don't allow .EXE files. So get your .ZIP and upload it to Mediafire.
Get the Mediafire download link and shorten it with goo.gl or bit.ly . It isn't really required but it doesn't hurt either.
4. Go to YouTube and look for the TOP video for your keywords. My keyword was "Wow game time".
This is how it should look like with vidIQ vision installed - http://prntscr.com/8mw560
Hit that little button to copy all Tags and save them in Notepad. You can go to more top videos and copy their tags and then weed out the most used ones. So now you know how these top videos get their views - using what tags.
5. Time to put your video on YouTube. Don't rush into it. Upload your video,add your tags,add the shortened URL in your Video description, but keep the video Unlisted (private).
More on the unlisted method here - http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackha...-24-hours.html
6. You can choose to send some views to your video in the meantime - High Retention(HR) if possible. You can get views some Social exchange sites like Addmefast,YTMonster or just purchase them from here on BHW.
7. After 4-5 hours,make your video public. With the tags you've used and after the unlist method,you should see your video in the first page of results instantly.
You should see organic traffic to your video + downloads/installs on your files within a while.
To scale it up,just repeat the process in uploading Multiple videos and you should see some easy $$ rolling in.
My earnings the first time I did this(only 1 video) were $68 - http://prntscr.com/8mwds2
I didn't spend any of the $68 I made. Instead,I uploaded 5 more videos and spent all $68 in boosting them with HR Views. And that made me close to $2500 in revenues and over 5k installs the next month - http://prntscr.com/8mwe9v
*Earning Prospects*
So now you can imagine the amount of money here. Revenyou pays you around $1.5/USA install. If you manage to get atleast 10 USA installs a day,that's equal to $12 at the least. That's almost $360 per month!
Now that's per video.What if you had 10 videos of the same sort and they brought in $10 each day? That's $3000 per month right there.
Not bad for a newbie right?
So what's your excuse this time for waiting and not giving this a try? This isn't bad money. Not bad at all for a pretty easy and scaleable method that actually requires no investment in the beginning.
If you have any questions,feel free post them in the comments and I'll be more than happy to help.
Good luck and happy earnings to you all!
