I’m not dogging the guy or suggesting that he needs help, but a member of Digital Point Forums started a thread about an idea to make money. I, and a few others, obliged and asked for the idea. The response:

I hope it is worth some good rep points for at least provoking thought, entertaining, and giving a laugh to some people when they visualize my face at the end of video #1 - and I quote: “Then it all stops, I’m about 5 inches from the camera, I have a crazy, expressionless face with teary bloodshot eyes, tears on my cheeks, food all over me, spit on the camera lens, blood dripping down my nose and chin, and I say very exhausted “i have to go now”, turn the camera off, and that is the end of Video #1″

Guaranteed traffic, guaranteed internet fame, guaranteed profit. The closest thing to a guarantee as possible.

This idea will make whoever does it a Youtube.com star. We’re talking about 2, 5, 10 million page views.

You will get/have:

1) Youtube star + Fame
2) Millions of page views
3) Thousands in profit
4) Featured on over 100 blogs
5) Offers, interviews, connections, opportunities.
6) THE or one of the fastest growing Youtube pages and videos.
7) Top 5 on Youtube for most subscribers.
High sellable value of the .com site

Materials:
———-
1) Empty room with TV prop, bed prop, computer prop, and desk. (You’ll break all of them so get something cheap.)
2) Some food.
3) Some balls.
4) Video camera.
5) Carpet.
6) Actor if you can’t do it. (I’m available, email me. Link is on top of this page.)

Stay away from:

1) Lame, corny, hesitant, retarded, and everything close to it.
2) Do not hold back.
3) Stay up for 3 days or until you experience audio and visual hallucinations if you think it will help. You tend to not think before you talk.

I’ll explain it as if I did it myself to give you a better view of how it works.

The first video cuts in while I’m already on the floor 7 inches from the camera screaming madly. We’re talking about the type of screaming that makes you lose your voice for days. My shirt is off and I have some boxer shorts on. My face is red and veins are popping out all over my face.

I scream and go crazy in a non-hesitant action packed way. The things I scream are things like “DO YOU F***ING LIKE TO SEE ME LIKE THIS? HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH? HUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH? F***ING TELL ME RIGHT NOW DO U LIKE IT? AHHHHHHH U F******KING….THIIIIIIIINKKKKKKK…..ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS……..FUNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:::smacks himself all over the face about 30 to 40 times in under 15 seconds, lose my balance, and break down into violent tears:::

I look right into the camera with tears rolling down my cheeks and throw myself against the wall hard. No faking, I really slam against the wall and hurt myself and fall down hard.

I scream about it and crawl back to the camera in a psychotic frenzy saying things like “batie ben…i let my go too so say im revin’ it” though tears and a look of complete confusion.

Suddenly, I get up fast.

I grab my tv, struggle with ripping it out of the socket, and throw it against the wall hard like a psychotic mad man who just escaped a mental facility, run over to the mattress in complete chaos, rip the mattress off the bed, and start slamming my head against it about 30 to 40 times in less than 30 seconds while I scream very loud and psychotic. I fall down and lose my balance and wipe some blood off of my nose (You don’t have to go that far if you want. There are fight videos of blood and gore and people getting their head smashed open on Youtube though, don’t worry about TOS.)

Then I fall to the floor and begin to cry hard and violently again, real tears. I crawl over to the camera and get close so they can see my face. I talk to it, explain how I just want to be popular. I explain how I just want to be famous and make friends. I start sobbing and crying about my broken TV, and the thought of what I just did causes me to get up again and throw my computer monitor against the same wall and then pound my fists on the keyboards, throw them everywhere, and go on a rampage.

Keep in mind I have been up for 3 days straight during this recording.

Then I switch again, as if I had just snapped.

I run out of the room and come back in the room about 15 seconds later with a bowl of left over spaghetti (or other food) and poor it all over me, smear it all over my body and on my face, throw it around while I scream.

Then I scream and get angry that I just stained the carpet. I grab the camera and point it to the floor and scream LOOK! LOOK WHAT I DID! very loud and violently, so loud my neck hurts from projecting my voice so insanely. LOOK WHAT I F****ING DID. AHHHHHHHHH.

Then it all stops, I’m about 5 inches from the camera, I have a crazy, expressionless face with teary bloodshot eyes, tears on my cheeks, food all over me, spit on the camera lens, blood dripping down my nose and chin, and I say very exhausted “i have to go now”, turn the camera off, and that is the end of Video #1.

I spent 40 hours a week getting subscribers and viewers.

My video is so crazy and entertaining and eye opening, jaw dropping, crazy, over the edge, and hilarious that people start to link my Youtube page. Websites start saying things like “New youtube star gets 10,000 page views in less than 24 hours”, “Is he really insane, or just wanting to be popular” Bloggers stream the video on their blog site w/ name of me and the link.

People post Youtube bullets.

The same with every new, entertaining, funny, jaw dropping eye opening video that out does the majority. It spreads like wild fire, that is just how it works.

Plus 12 different methods of delivering page views and getting subscribers and 40hrs each week of hard work promoting the youtube page.

I make a .com site as backup incase the youtube account gets deleted for some reason. The .com will list my new youtube page.

Within 30 to 60 days and 3 videos later I’ve got more subscribers than anyone else on youtube the fasted growing Youtube page in history. I’m featured and linked on hundreds of websites. Pictures from the video of me with food all over and close-up shots of me screaming and crying (Great facial expressions.) floating all over social networking sites.

I also have many other ways to expose it.

I’m on all the youtube sites that list “youtube stars” and follow the newest and most popular videos and members that take it to the next level or out do the rest.

I release a downloadable DVD in scenes for 56K and high speed users on the .com site with a link and public announcement on the youtube page. Or for a slightly higher price you can get it shipped to you in dvd format.

500 sales x $7 pure profit after tax and merchant fee = $3500

1000 sales x $7 pure profit = $7000

2000 sales x $7 pure profit = $14,000

I make manual sales everyday combined with 4 other methods of making sales.

I release one last dvd after all that for more sales from the people who bought the first one and new buyers.

Then I walk away with about $35,000 to $50,000 total in pure profit from dvd sales, advertisement, exclusives, and the selling of the .com site. Probably a lot more.

I’m one of the top Youtube stars and featured on hundreds of blogs, articles, websites, media sites, Youtube “Star” pages, and more.

Total cost of the project? Under $2500. I would do it with $3000-$4000 though, just to go to the limit and make it bigger and better.

I could say more about barriers and appeal and marketing and things, but you don’t need it to make this successful.

Important: If you can’t handle the fame don’t do it. If you’re not ready to put your face and image out there don’t do it. If you’re not willing to do interviews and answer questions don’t do it. If you can’t handle the thousands of comments from people telling you what a psycho and how crazy you are don’t do it. If you try it and the video looks stupid, don’t do it…ask me to do it. I can do it better than anyone you’ll ever know or meet.
