More Advanced Ways to Use Video to Make More Money Online:

Ok, I’ve received a few more questions regarding using video to make more money, especially as it relates to using Splashcast, which I think I’ve answered directly to the people who didn’t’ feel the previous post was clear enough. I would certainly encourage anyone who is having a hard time conceptualizing how to use Splash cast to make a few bucks, or even just to add another layer of sophistication to your existing stuff, go take a look at their site and see some of the really good channels, shows and monetization opportunities other people are putting out there.

Lets take a look at a few other simple things you can do to REALLY accelerate your earnings using video in the affiliate marketing sector, and this time – doing it not only WITHOUT any videos of your own, but without a WEBSITE either.

Let’s say you are promoting a fishing affiliate product you found on Clickbank. Ordinarily you would put up a site with good fishing content, grab a few RSS feeds, put up a banner or two and weave in your affiliate links throughout the content. The video strategy we outlined previously has you go out and set up a Splash cast channel for fishing, which gives you good entertaining content to keep your fishing site visitors comfortably engaged and interacting with your site and all is well with the world, right? Lets for a moment visualize that you haven’t’ quite made it that far and are sort of stuck in affiliate marketing no man’s land – you have a fishing product picked out, but no site and no clear strategy in how you are going to get started.

Here is a very simple way to test the affiliate product you want to promote, and do it VERY quickly and efficiently.

1) Go find 4 or 5 popular videos on Youtube related to fishing – and that are both popular and relevant to your affiliate product ( i.e. – Deep Sea Shark videos if your Clickbank product is on Fly Fishing would be a mistake..;-)

2) Download the Videos – ( if you don’t have one – just do a search for a program that will download directly from You tube )

3) Edit the Videos locally on your machine using something like Windows Movie Maker ( it’s free and comes with your PC) by very simply using a text frame overlay to add your domain name to the starting frame and ending frame of the each video. You might also want to add a short “ break” in the middle of the Vid with the same – i.e. – brought to you by “yourdomain.com”

4) Set your domain to redirect to the fishing affiliate program you are promoting using your affiliate ID – very simply either use either the re-direct offered by your Cpanel host, use php, JavaScript’s, meta-refresh, whatever it is that know how to do. ( If you don’t know how, very simply do a Google search for the code – it’s VERY easy to do – and if I can learn how to do it, trust me, so can YOU..:-)

5) Re-upload the video to youtube with the same tags, and descriptors as you found it. This is why you want popular videos that lots of people have already found entertaining or enjoyable ( note – funny IS ALWAYS good here!)

6) Your video is now going to get views and discovered the very same way that you found the original! Only yours is “branded” to you visa vi your domain overlay on the Video itself, which, when a percentage of the viewers type into their browser, will be expeditiously re-directed to the Click bank affiliate program you are promoting, with your cookie!

Dating offers work great for this, FUNNY stuff works great as well. Obviously you can be as creative as you want – a good idea, especially if you are doing funny stuff – is to have some of the text on the video you edited say – “ for even FUNNIER videos, visit www.myfunnysite.com, etc – in which case you would be sending them to YOUR site, not the affiliate program. ( Or you could simply have different text – i.e. – “ TO CATCH FISH WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PANTS, LIKE THIS GUY, visit www.BestFishingSecrets.Com, etc)

(Note:  I have NOTHING to do with either of the two sites above - I just made them up - and checked a minute ago - they are LIVE sites that can thank me later for the free incoming link..:-)

If you make your own, syndicate your videos, i.e. – encourage other people to cut and paste YOUR vid’s on their sites, how quickly do you think your “ Viral Videos” are going to make you some real money? Encourage other people in your niche to put your edited vids on their sites, ( with your affiliate re-direct of course..:-) And they will. Everyone wants free content. You just gave it to them, helping them while at the same time, putting your affiliate link in front of the noses of any number of potential customers that you would NEVER have had the opportunity to connect with otherwise.

There are a thousand and one ideas like this – The above was recommended to me a few months back on someone ELSE’S site, and now I am sharing it with YOU! Any questions, be sure to ask!
