A Video Marketing Guide For Affiliate Marketing Beginners

We have discussed the significance of Video Marketing in our first article. Now, we will try to scrutinize every part of the process in order to understand every detail. It is very important for us to picture the whole thing before starting.

How To Effectively Utilize Video Marketing

1. Start with Keyword Research.
When creating traffic for your site or blog, you need to use keywords. Keywords are the terms that the viewers type to the search engine tool in order to find the video that they are looking for. The video will then lead them to your site through a link.

When deciding for the keyword you will use, make sure that you are going to use the long tail strategy and come up with 2-3 word keywords.

2. Create the video right away.
After deciding about the keywords to be used, start making the video in order to utilize the fresh ideas that you were able to compile in your mind during the first phase.

• Use a webcam or a flip camera, you can choose what is available in your office. Make sure that you have a good quality video,It will certainly make a good impression.Use screen shots or a slideshow if you want another way of presenting.

• The introduction should be short. You can use an article that you made before for the same traffic activity. Make the video short, 1-2 minutes will be enough to convince the people to visit your site.

• When choosing an accompaniment or background music, don’t use copyrighted ones because that is against the rule. Convert the video into AVI, MOV, WMV or MP4, that way you will be sure that it will be accepted when you submit it.

3. Submit The Finalized Video
Prior to the submission, you have to decide where to send it. There are a lot of sites aside from YouTube where you can send your video.

• Create a good title for your video, something catchy. Use the keywords that you have decided to put. Make a description that will surely be relevant to the video. Again, use keywords as often as you need them. But you have to make sure that it will not be tagged as spam because of too much repetition. Do not forget the URL; place it first in the description. When placing tags, keywords should also be used.

• Link your video to your social sites. Make it available to everyone by selecting the ‘public’ button after selecting the category where it should belong.

4. Finally, promote.
Use it as a response for some currently existing related videos. If you believe in give and take system, you must subscribe to other people’s YouTube channels and ask them to subscribe to yours in return. You can also invite friends to subscribe.

Social Marketing Traffic

Learning the skills to research and leverage the social media space is a very important part of setting up your traffic system. With Social media, you are able to use microblogging platforms like Twitter as well as online communities like Squidoo and Facebook to grow your outreach and target your targeted markets quickly and easily.

While you are a marketer first, friend second, you want to form a personal connection with your target audience. Here are some of the best social communities to get involved with: Twitter: Friend Feed: Facebook: Stumble Upon: Del.icio.us: MySpace.

Article Marketing Traffic

The concept of article marketing is a very simple one: You write high quality content and distribute it amongst popular article databases and directories online, generating tons of traffic from the back links in the attached resource box. It really is as simple as that.

Think about it, writing a 1,000 articles that don’t convert, versus 12 that do, which one would you choose. If you rush your articles without conducting some keyword research and coming up with articles that consist of a solid headline, fluid content and no call to action, not allowing the reader to click the links within your resource boxes, leaving the article directory itself to find out, you are literally throwing money away.

If these readers fail to follow through, your article was for nothing. You should think of your resource box as a 20 second commercial. What is the strongest message that you can use to motivate your readers to click on your link?
If you are not sure what you can offer within your resource box, here are a few things I have used successfully for over a year now:

- A Free Report
- Subscription to your newsletter
- A free eBook
- A free sample of your product
- A Free Membership
- A Free Video Guide
- A audio transcript or call

There are three tools that I use to instantly generate traffic to my website, at absolutely no cost, and they are: Hub Pages: Squidoo Lens: Blogs: & Blogger.

Here are a few tips to help you create your first
Hub:

#4: Do NOT post affiliate links within your HubPages

Press Releases: Quick Traffic Bursts

Press Releases are one of the easiest ways of getting your message in front of thousands of prospects in your target market very quickly, as well as picking up affiliates and potential JV partners. You want to make sure your press release appears to be news, rather than an advert. The back links that a press release creates is phenomenal, I have seen a huge surge of traffic literally within minutes of the press release being published, and months later, I was still receiving traffic from the circulation of that press release. What you do need to be careful of is that you model your press release so that it provokes an emotional response in your viewers. Your press release title should be no longer than 150 characters in length.
