There are so many ways to make money online. And the list of online money making methods continues to grow. One of the newest and fastest growing ways to profit on the Internet, is video marketing.
The more popular video sharing web sites, like YouTube, get millions of visitors an hour. And you can take advantage of this stream of steady free traffic. But exactly how do you go about making money at YouTube?
The first thing you need to do is a get a feel for what video marketing is all about. How do you do this? It s simple. Go to YouTube and look for videos created by marketing people, who are using videos as promotional tools. You ll notice that people are using YouTube to market all kinds of goods and services.
Now take a look at the kinds of videos other video marketers are making. You will probably see a lot of how to and tutorial videos, along with demonstrations of how different products, systems or techniques work. Look at the view counts for these videos. Which ones are the most popular? Read the comments at the end of the videos. Which ones got the most positive feedback from those who visited the page?
Doing this kind of simple research should give you an idea of what video marketing is all about, as well as what goes into making a popular video. In fact, you will find that the most popular videos in certain niches, all have things in common.
They might be about the same length, or use images or illustrations in a similar way. Or maybe they will use similar background music...or no music at all. Whatever the case, while doing your research, make a list of these common elements. Later, you will try to incorporate as many of those elements as possible into your own video.
Once you have a feel for video marketing, it s time to think about making your video. Take a look at the product you intend to promote. What kind of video could you make related to that product? Is it something exciting or interesting enough, that just showing it in action would be enough? Or should you try to draw in viewers by offering them useful information, using a tutorial to teach them how to do something?
If you haven t created a product to promote yet (or haven t chosen an affiliate product to promote), you can get plenty of profitable ideas from YouTube. Go to the site and find out which keywords are being searched for most. Is a keyword related to dogs or dog training at the top of the list? Then you know that a video about dogs or dog training, one that promotes a product in that niche, will have the potential to get a lot of views. Meaning a lot of potential buyers for your product.
Once you ve got a product to promote, and some idea of what makes certain YouTube videos popular, it s time to create your video, and start reaping the rewards YouTube marketing has to offer.
