Web Video Marketing
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).
Try posts like; how to decontaminate your toilet, how to stop old dogs from peeing everywhere, how to find a mate fast, or something similar (less stupid) to that.
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. Video tape yourself, or your computer as you complete the task you wrote about in For this article, I would basically just read off of this page into my microphone, and have me scrolling up and down the page frantically as if to make the video interesting. Or to make things interesting I could go to Azoogle Ads, or some other affiliate network and show you the sign up process.
Popular softwares to use would be hypercam, camtasia, camstudio, or maybe fraps.
3. Open your video in some sort of video editing software once you’re done. I prefer to just use windows movie maker since the editing process is very simple.
4. If you want, and you haven’t already than you can narrate your video now. I usually just read my articles as I go through the video in windows movie maker. Obviously you shouldn’t read parts of the article that say things like, “click here to get a free ipod” since you can’t give people links in videos. However, you can add annotations with urls, or add urls in the description of your videos.
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!
