Hey everyone!I’m Reaz — and today I’m excited to share a detailed breakdown of how I started earning money with CPAGrip using a method that’s completely beginner-friendly and doesn’t require any upfront investment.
If you've ever wondered how people are making passive income with CPA marketing, especially with CPAGrip, this strategy could open some doors for you. I’ve kept things white-hat, simple, and scalable — so anyone can follow along.
The Method: YouTube + SEO + Content Locking
The approach revolves around content locking, YouTube video marketing, and some basic SEO techniques.
Here’s how I do it step by step:
Step 1: Use CPAGrip's File Locker
I use CPAGrip’s preset file locker to lock useful files like tools, ebooks, software guides, etc. Every time someone unlocks and downloads a file, I get paid — no purchases required from the user!
On average, English-speaking traffic brings in around $1–$2 per download
Targeting countries like France, Belgium, or the Netherlands can bring $5–$15 per download (especially effective if you speak those languages)
Step 2: Create Simple YouTube Videos
To drive traffic to my locked content, I create short, informative videos using PowerPoint slides or screen recording software.
I speak directly in the video (using my real voice) to build trust
I explain what the viewer will get and how to download the file
The download link is placed in the YouTube description
These videos don’t need to be professionally edited. Simplicity and clarity are what matter most.
Step 3: Rank Your Videos with Basic SEO
Once the videos are up, I optimize them to appear in search results. That means:
- Writing a keyword-rich description
- Using a compelling title and thumbnail
- Adding relevant tags and subtitles
To give the video an initial push, I buy small SEO gigs from freelancers to boost views, likes, and social signals. This helps the video rank faster in YouTube search.
Bonus tip: Upload the video as unlisted, get some views/engagement, then publish it publicly. This can help the YouTube algorithm consider it a “hot” video.
First Day Results
When I uploaded my first 3 videos and did minimal SEO (plus one cheap service boost), I earned $87.43 on Day 1. That came from over 1,000 clicks and 50+ leads.
I knew I was onto something.
Scaling Up
From there, I scaled using this repeatable system:
- 1 domain
- 1 Google account
- 1 YouTube channel
- 10 videos per channel
After that, I leave it and start a new set — this spreads the risk and avoids getting flagged.
Important: Never place raw CPA links in the video description. Use a landing page or a redirect to protect your account and avoid getting flagged by YouTube.
Pro Tips from the Community
- Don’t rely on one channel — diversify!
- Focus on low-competition niches for faster ranking
- Avoid black-hat tactics or copyrighted/trending content that violates YouTube's terms
- Use your own landing pages to remain compliant
Final Thoughts
Some people say “YouTube is dead for CPA.” I disagree. YouTube is a goldmine if you approach it the right way. It’s not a get-rich-quick method — but it works if you’re consistent and smart about it.
If you're new and still thinking about how to start — stop waiting and start uploading. One video might change your entire affiliate journey.
