Youtube Video Marketing
This is a little guide I threw together after a few moments of pondering over some of the current blackhat video marketing techniques. In case you haven’t heard of them, they include downloading and reuploading videos with url’s to your blog/parked page/cpa offers in the description, or watermarked on the video. None of that is really too blackhat though, and neither is this method in fact I’m pretty sure this is something more professional bloggers would do than spammy blackhat kids. This method isn’t new at all, but I’m sure some could find it useful.
1) Write some sort of article on how to do something and post it to your blog/website/etc… (If you don’t have one then don’t worry about it).
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. 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. When you’re finished with your video, open it in your video editing software. I usually just use windows movie maker, the video editing process is not very complicated.
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 the url of your website as a subtitle on your video. This way people will know where the video came from no matter how it is shared. You can include direct links to your website or blog post in the description of your video also.
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 is an easy way to get lot’s of visitors to your site or affiliate landing page with just a little bit of work. If you keep at it you could be getting thousands of visitors to your site each day without any problems.
