How to Create An EASY Money-Making Video in 10 Minutes (or Less)

[PaulV]

After building and doing SEO work on wordpress sites for a few years I began looking for a faster and easier way to rank on page 1 of Google.

I've found that Video Marketing can be a whole lot easier. And the demand for videos is growing more and more. As statistics are now showing, internet searchers are preferring video content over contextual websites.

Since people are preferring videos over websites and it is MUCH easier to create and optimize a video, then why not start profiting from Video Marketing as well!?


Here's how you can create a simple video for YouTube to promote any affiliate product found on Clickbank, CPA networks, Amazon, or anywhere else.


Step 1 - Find product or offer you wish to promote. For FAST results I recommend a Free CPA Offer.

Step 2 - Search for images of that product in Google images. Then select 6-8 images of that product. Using Snipping tool (if you have Windows 7) or use the image snipping tool through Jing.com (free tool) to cut out these images and store them in special folder.

Special Note: As John and Tim have kindly pointed out below you have to make sure you are not violating copyrights. Use Google Advanced Image Search to make sure the images you use are "only image labled for reuse."

Step 3 - Search for product description of product features and select 6-8 bullet points that highlight the benefits of that product

Step 4 - Create video with Windows Movie Maker or by using any of these free Video creation services that YouTube recommends here: youtube.com/create.

Step 5 - Upload video on YouTube. Fill in the Title, Description, and Tags with your related keyword. Make sure the Title is catchy and that you have your Link in the first line of your Description so that it will appear right below the video.

To Put it All Together

You will want an Intro Slide that introduces the view to your product. Then the next slides should be an image slide, then a text slide showing describing a benefit, followed by another image slide until you have finished using the 6-8 images and texts pieces selected previously. These slides should be about 3-5 seconds each.

The final slide will be your "call to action" and it will tell the visitor to click the link below to get "your offer". This last slide should be a about 15-20 seconds long so that the viewer only sees this slide and is not distracted by the other videos YouTube will recommend at the end of your clip.

You may also place a brief call-to-action at the beginning as well to capture those who want to immediately buy or try your offer.

Just Do It!

Now is the best time to "get your feet wet" with video marketing.

I know it can be a little intimidating at first but once you try it, you'll be surprised just how easy it really is. Especially compared to creating a site.

And after you've made your 1st video, it will only get easier and easier for the next videos you make.

I hope this serves you well!

Paul, when you mentioned searching for images and clipping them from Google images, you forgot to mention not violating copyrights.

At least I hope you just forgot to mention it...

I much prefer to watch a video than to read a PDF. Probably because I am so lazy, but that is the way it is. I will have to try this, it looks pretty simple.

Yes, John is right. You have to use the advanced search in Google Images and then select under Image Rights, Only images labled for reuse.

I am glad you liked it!

Yes it's true, we all have a tendency to create limitations like making things harder then they need to be.

But most of these limitiations are just in our minds.

And only when we take action we will truly know just how silly we've been by creating those mental barriers.

Take care,

Paul

Yea, video have exploded on the internet. More than 51% of the total US internet traffic in 2010 was video and it might be even more now.

Just look at this image (video is in the upper right corner) :The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet | Magazine

With more and more people watching video it's good with some easy to do video creation - Thanks!

cool tips but you forgot the most important part.

Make sure you use SEO when uploading, for extra traffic and buyer traffic.

That always works for our youtube vids. We have kinda gone underground with this, and piggy back off other successful vids. ITs quite easy and most the time the most successful videos we post are the simplest to create. Funny thing that!

Yes, I included the importance of Optimizing for your keyword in the Title, Description, and Tags.

The usage of LSI keywords in tags and description is also important for your on-page SEO. The more LSI keywords in your Tags, the better.

And that's really as simple as it gets when it comes to on-page SEO for your video!

I think your just do it bit in the end is the best advice you can give.

I can't tell you how many people just sit there and say something won't work without
even trying it.

Then they wonder why they aren't making any money online.

I often get tag ideas from competing videos i could find on google for my target keywords or in youtube search.

Glad you liked that!

It's true, you can give all the excuses in the world about why it wouldn't work for you or why you shouldn't try it out.

But you will never really know how easy it can be until you go out and just do it. And then is when you can perservere.

Yeah that works too, copy your compeditor's tags and put them in "quotes". That way the keywords can be added properly.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for this helpful piece of information. I tried placing my link in the description of the video when I uploaded it to youtube but it didn't save properly. could you please let me in on how to do this properly? I might be missing something.

Thanks,
B

Obviously,the most difficult thing to do, is to think as simple as possible..We all tend to put the obstacles in front of us when life can be so easy and simple.

Thanks for this great post
