Product Promotion With Videos

As an affiliate, you likely have thought about, or may even have created a video that showcases an affiliate product you're promoting. But have you ever considered which type of video may help you get more views?

There's actually two different kinds that you can make:

1. Recording yourself.
2. Recording a "Power Point" style presentation.

Recording Yourself

Making a presentation of yourself talking about the product you're promoting is one quick way to accomplish this task. YouTube even lets you record and upload a video directly from your web cam on your computer.

Other alternatives are small, inexpensive hand-held cameras that can even upload directly to YouTube for you; saving you an extra step in the process.

Sometimes though you may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and want another alternative. That's where a Power Point style presentation comes in.

Power Point Style

Typically you'll find that recording a Power Point style presentation about the product will result in more views and more views usually means more conversions. This is because when someone watches one of these presentations you're hitting all three ways that people learn at the same time; through reading (which is what's contained within the presentation), through audio, and visually which allows for a little bit more of an interactive experience.

Once you've created your video using the popular program Camtasia Studio or another option as well like the Jing Project, you can then start to market these.

Here's how:

1. Discover what the top videos are within YouTube for the same product you're promoting. Take note of what they're using in their title and what they use for tags.
2. Use your keywords as well as those keywords you've accumulated from those other popular videos within your own title and be sure to use tags that contain your important keywords as well.
3. Use your presentation as a response to someone else's already popular video. This is a very effective way of getting views.
4. Don't limit yourself to just YouTube. There are lots of great and popular sites online that you can add your screen capture to. One way to do this quickly is to use TubeMogul.com which is completely free. You upload once and TubeMogul will syndicate it to various other online video directories.
5. Don't forget to link! Use the keywords that you'd like your presentation to rank well for within the anchor text and then link to this video from your own blog, within forums that you frequent, and on other related blog posts.

Once you get the hang of creating affiliate presentations for the product you're promoting, you'll find that it's a piece of cake to create them, get them uploaded, and then promote them.
