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.
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.
To video tape your screen you could use hypercam, camtasia, camstudio, fraps, or etc
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. Now that you have the program open in your video editor you can narrate the video if you haven’t already. What I would do is read the article I wrote to correspond to what you’re doing int he video. You can add annotations and links in your description on youtube, and other video sites.
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 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!
