Video Marketing Lesson 2 - Introduction to Making Money with ClickBank and Video Sharing Sites Part 2

This is the second part of make money with ClickBank and video sharing sites. You can find the first part here. This short video marketing tutorial will teach how to promote ClickBank products on video sharing sites. I would also recommend that you read my other tutorials so that you may learn the basics for making money with ClickBank.


Note: Since Youtube is the largest video sharing site on the web, I will use as a default example for this tutorial.

Let's begin!

The first thing you need to learn before launching your promotion campaign is to find a target audience. You can't just upload random videos and expect to make a lot of money. Sometimes it's even better to find a target audience before choosing which products to promote. Any experienced online marketer would tell you that you must target a particular niche (or at least find a way to drive a target traffic to the vendor's page). This is a very crucial step in this whole video marketing thing – Finding a target audience.

How to find a target audience

This can be as simple as reading comments and adding to your friend list users who may want to buy your products. And if you've already uploaded videos, you can use Youtube insight to learn a little about who is watching your videos (age, gender, etc). This can help you monetize your videos by promoting products that are more appealing to your audience.

Another thing you might want to do is build a friend list by sending out hundreds or even thousands of friend requests. Why? Because you will be able to promote products by sharing your videos with them. This is not an easy task and can be very boring. So you might want to use bots such as Tube Toolbox to automate your Youtube marketing.

Where to find videos

You can create and edit your own videos using Camtasia and Sony Vegas or just download videos from different video sharing sites like many already do (You can download any Youtube video with Tube Toolbox). However, if you can't afford arming yourself with these marketing tools, you can always use Windows Movie Maker and Jing. Jing is free software similar to Camtasia that you can use to snap pictures and record videos of your computer screen.

Putting all the pieces together

The next step is to upload your videos. One of the reasons many fail at making money with Clickbank this way is because they forget another important aspect of video marketing – Optimization. You must optimize your titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and tags. For keyword ideas, you can use Youtube keyword research tool. This can help you target a particular niche. I recommend you use at least 15 related tags for each of your videos to help Youtube categorize them. Also, Videos that have good thumbnails usually get the most views. So test each of your thumbnails for a period of time to know the ones that are the most effective.

The last step is to put your link in the description of each video. This can be either your hoplink or a link to your promotional page. It is also advised to use Tinyurl to disguise your affiliate link.

In general, if you want to make money online, you must be persistent. Many find it very hard to make money with Youtube because of the time and work it takes to create, and upload videos. And that is only a small part of video marketing. If you can get more than 1000 hops per day with your videos, you can earn a good amount of money depending on how targeted the traffic is.
