Lon Seidman doesn’t operate the largest gadget YouTube channel in the world — his Lon.TV account has about 365,000 subscribers — but that hasn’t stopped him from building a successful media business. He stays hyper focused on reviewing non-sexy products that sell in extremely high volumes, and this has allowed him to drive thousands of affiliate sales through both YouTube and Amazon Video.

In a recent interview, Lon explained his methodology for picking products to review, how he optimizes his affiliate links, and why he’s spending more time posting his content to decentralized platforms.
