Make Money With Affiliate Marketing – Videos as a Promotional and Lead-Generation Tool

In my previous post, I went over the fundamentals of using video to promote affiliate products. If you haven’t read that post yet, I recommend you do so because this post will build on it.

We covered the two basic types of videos and what they can be used for. This post is going to go more in-depth on how to use video as a promotion and lead-generation tool.

Whether you’re creating a tutorial style video or a more direct, ‘in your face’ video, both are very effective in getting your message across. The purpose of your video and the end result you’re aiming for will determine which type of video you want to use.

When promoting an application or any type of software, it’s best to create a tutorial type video. In this way, you can actually show a live demonstration using the application, allowing your viewers to see it in action for themselves. You can point out all the features and explain what each one does. Be sure to cover the benefits of those features and why it’s going to be useful to your viewers.

In the same way, if you’re promoting a website or a specific web page, you can show the page or site and briefly cover what people will find on it. You don’t have to go in great depth here, but make sure you state why going there will benefit your viewers.

Now, if you’re looking to build your list or get people into your affiliate program downline, the same tips apply. Video can be used to entice people to check out your affiliate link and sign up to learn more about your affiliate program, or you can simply send them to your own newsletter sign-up page.

The possibilities really are endless. Get creative with your video marketing to make money with affiliate marketing. It really does work and is the new media of choice for most marketers.
