Hi all,

Sat down last night and created 39 videos that were 20 seconds long for Youtube. Each video had an arrouw pointing to a link in the description that linked through to a product that I am promoting. Not a lok of traffic per video, but even if I only get 2 hits a day, then thats 78 hits per day or 2340 hits a month.

If I did it for all 778 products that I promote then based on 2 clicks per day I would get around 46680 hits per month just from this. And each hit would be targeted.

The videos that I made are at http://uk.youtube.com/user/SuccessDept

      Well here are some more tips that generate very quick and good amount of traffic:

      Videos Video sites like YouTube and Google Video get enormous amounts of traffic (and also rank highly in the search engines).
      You can easily create a video by turning your article into a powerpoint presentation and then recording your screen as you talk through the article.
      If you don't have MS Office to create a powerpoint, try a free alternative at OpenOffice.org and if you don't have Camtasia, grab a free alternative at CamStudio.org
      Take your video and submit it to multiple video directories (for free) using the service at TubeMogul.com
      Don't forget to put your keywords in the title and also put the URL of your Squidoo page in the description box.

      Submit Your Slide Show You can take your powerpoint presentation you created and submit it to SlideShare.net
      Be sure to include a link to your Squidoo page in the presentation and a call to action at the end to get people to visit.


      Audio and Podcasts
      You can take the audio from your video recording and upload it to different podcast sites like PodcastDirectory.org, PodcastingNews.com, PodcastAlley.com

      I'm intrigued to see whether this works for you. Since you're selling hypnosis products people may think this is some kind of hypnosis. Not sure how well it would work for other products. I'd also be interested to see whether YouTube lets you have hundreds of practically identical videos.
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[479815].message }}
      • Profile picture of the author burtie
        Yep it ceratainly will be interesting. When I submit the others will do separate accounts with only 10 vids on each. The traffic from these 39 already started to pour in over night which is hopeful.

          Great traffic tip.

          I've never used You Tube for promoting products myself, but it's on my TO DO LIST.

          You've just proved it doesn't have to be complicated so that in itself has given me the push to have a go.

          Thanks for your help

            Sure the 39 took a couple of hours. Getting 30+ hits an hour on those. :-)

      I am going to do the other 700+ slightly different. I am going to take a snapshot of the sales page and include it, but still keeping the video to around 20 seconds.

      Did anyone spot my mistake that is in each video?

    I agree burtie, your videos need more than just an arrow pointing to your description/link. A pic of your websites sounds good...

    Its also great to see these videos are already generating views and

      Yep I will get a template together (maybe like the following) for the new videos. I was thinking.

      Title - 5 seconds
      Page snapshot - 5 seconds
      Arrow - 10 seconds

    Good effort Burtie, I think people are crazy not to use video hosting sites to market their products and services. I have been for 18 months now and found it to be the easiest and fastest way to send traffic to a website.

    The call to action "Click The Link On The Left" is a little confusing since the link is on the right of the video. Will be effecting your CTR a little. I presume you ment on the left of the description box, or did you forget your L's and R's?

      Yep that was my mistake. I was going to joke and say it was a hypnosis thing, but no it was just a mistake.

        There are still quite a lot of things that can be done to make your videos on Youtube much better. Good thing you are taking action, nows the time to improve.

        1. Use some images... Find some copyright restriction free images and use them in your PPT presentations. Ideally three... for 3 seconds each

        2. Use sexy backgrounds... And white text and black B/G doesn't make me want to click on the link

        3. Use a little more text I'd say. At least put in one key benefit.

        4. Insert the URL in the video... Learn subdomain redirection- its easy!

        -Lakshay

        P.S. My honest evaluation is that videos getting tens of views get a few clicks per day... Typically 1 click for 20 views. So make your videos good enough and eye catching enough to get a couple of 20 views a day.

    Thanks for sharing, I'm glad you are getting some traffic from them. It's such a simple concept, more people should be tapping into the potential of YouTube. I would agree though that adding a little more to the video would probably generate more views. Even just having teaser questions, like "Do you want to know how Hypnosis can __?" etc. just to give them more info, but only enough to get them really interested to visit your site.

    Another great way is article marketing. Yes, groan...

    I know, but its proven, tried and tested and gives long lasting traffic.
    Especially if you write a winner article like Michael Cheney - "Attack of
    the Killer Google Zombies". Try putting - attack of the killer google zombies
    in Google!

    737,000 sites returned from the search! Not only can that give you traffic
    from the article, but you can kill the SEs as well!

    Do your own research - Go to the Google AdWords keyword tool.
    Play with the keywords and look for ones with consistent search volume.
    Click add on each keyword you like the look of, to make a text file.

    Take the keywords you have created and put them in Google and do a
    'search'. You are looking for competitors who have in-bound links. You
    will be surprised! Put inanchor:"my search phrase" in the search box. Bam..

    Put those (the best ones) as your anchor text in your 'bio'! BAM....

    Cheers,

    Richard

    I don't mean to be rude, but I don't see the value for these types of video. I am all for marketing, be it video or other media, but I am surprised the video's are still up. They provide nothing but click on my link, no content, no laugh. Am I missing something? Sure hate to see video sites filled with this type of content. Sure I'll get flamed now.

      some of the most effective videos I've done (and I know many others who are following the same pattern) is 1-2 min with 1 tip and promotion of giveaway (either article, report or other video signup sheet) to help build list.

      Another effective method is to simply review a product - how it worked for you, what it was like BEFORE and then AFTER using the product or method. Then highlight the link.

    After reading the posts, I went and took a look. These videos are getting clicks with no content? That is totally unexpected. I did not think something like this would fly. I hope your account does not get flagged.

      Thats ok, dont be sorry...

      How do you mean 'you need to do more in the videos than what you have done'? Can you expand on this as I am sure that others will find it a benefit.

      Of course the most important thing is that they are making sales.

    Thanks for taking the time to test this concept then post this. It looks like you're getting descent traffic with them.

    Like some others above I'm surprised they haven't been pulled down. I've posted a few "thin" vids on YouTube in my time and they didn't get 4 days down the road like yours, which is why I started adding just a little more meat to mine. It'll be interesting to watch and see how it goes for you. As tommygadget very accurately points out the competition plays dirty!

    Fantastic work though.
