I thought I'd write up this short guide after reading a bunch of complicated video marketing
guides on various forums. Video marketing just means that you will be uploading videos to popular
video sites and using them to promote your website. You can make money from parked pages, affiliate
landing pages, the possibilites are literally endless. This is extremely whitehat until the end of
the guide, where you can choose between blackhat promotion and whitehat promotion. With this method
you can be getting 1000's of visitors to your websites daily.
Step 1) Write an article
and then post it to your blog. (You could just post the video you make, but that's not good for SEO
purposes).
I would suggest something like; how to fix your wii, how to spay your cat, how
to cheat on a test, or etc...
Then you'll want to add a bunch of adsense and affiliate
links to your blog, or just use a landing page. The more visitors you get from your video, the more
money you'll make in theory.
2. Tape yourself or your computer as you do the task that
you are trying to teach people about. If I were to make a video for this article I would just show
my screen as I viewed the article.. boring, but it works.
I would suggest camtasia as
your screen capture software if you had the money.
3. Once your done instructing people
to do stuff in your video, open it up in a video editor like Windows Movie Maker. Of course if you
have a mac you'll have to use something else, and there are almost hundreds of options out there.
4. First of all, now you have the option to narrate your entire video. Basically what I
would do is read the blog post outloud, minus the parts where you might ask people to click the
link, or sign up here, since they can't click really click on the video. If you wanted though, you
could add annotations or links in the description for things you want them to sign up for.
5. Add a watermark to your video, with the url of your website. This way, if it's shared on other
websites then there will always be the url of your website for everyone to see. When you upload your
videos to youtube, you can include direct links to your website/blog post telling people that they
could read more about it.
6. Now is the crossroads between white and black hat. You could
just let your videos sit there.. or do something worthwhile (I have no idea). Or you could go the
black hat rout and just use software like Tube Automator to inrease the traffic to your videos.
This method with get you lot's of visitors with a bit of work, and lots of persistence. The
more videos, the more views, the more subscribers, the more clicks, the more conversions, and the
more profit. Good luck promoting stuff with videos guys!
