YouTube Marketing

Having pulled together my ‘All Hyped Up!’ video and placing it on YouTube I’ve realised the possibilities that YouTube offers in terms of reach. This video, which was only my second YouTube video ever, had over 120 views in its first day online. Now that might not sound like a lot to some but for me it was quite a surprise. I know I’m behind the curve on the value of video marketing, especially YouTube marketing but so are a lot  of other people. Here’s why I think YouTube will be a big part of my online money making opportunity and why you should make it part of yours too.

I know quite a large number of people who make their living online and very few are utilising video. Well if they’re anything like I was,  it could simply be that they don’t realise the potential and or don’t think they can make great videos. Since producing my ‘All Hyped Up!’ video I’ve had several people ask me to create a product that tells them how I did it. And not only how I made the video but I how linked it all back to my free report and this blog; making it an all encompassing launch so to speak.

Well if you’ve read my ‘about page’ and or my free report you will know that it all happened quite suddenly and was born out of sheer anger. Nonetheless I did give the process some thought. Those thoughts took me about two hours and then the actual production of the video, blog and report a little over a day. Is it that easy? Yes!

What are some of the methods to make money online with video marketing? Well I have a video promoting this blog which in turn promotes my optin for a free report. You’ve no doubt heard that having a list of subscribers is a way to eventually make some money online. The other method, which a friend prompted me to think seriously about, is promoting affiliate products through videos. There are endless ways to do that really. You can send the viewer to a blog or static website where you further review the product or send them directly to a sales page via your affiliate link.

There are so many other ways to use video and more specifically, YouTube marketing, to help generate traffic and online money. And to get traffic instantly like my video did is certainly why I’ll be using it regularly in the future.

I’m working on a small product launch that covers exactly how I pulled together my latest YouTube video, report and blog; so keep an eye out for that one…and don’t worry, it won’t be priced at a zillion dollars either!

Even if you’re just starting out looking for ways to make money online or are a seasoned marketer, you’ll know that without visitors to what ever it is you’re promoting the money just won’t flow. YouTube marketing is a free and easy way to get traffic. There is a little bit more to it than just putting up a video but just creating one is a good place to start, experience is your best teacher. If you want to leave a comment about what’s stopping you from using video marketing I’d love to read it.

    Hey Michelle,

    I like the layout of your site and your writing….. Video’s are new to me and I don’t feel I have the personality for them but I will keep trying until I can fake a personality :)

    Anyway I signed up for your report… have not seen the mail yet but will read when it arrives.

    Cheers,

    Forest.

    Hi Forest, welcome and thanks for providing feedback.

    If you don’t get the mailer let me know…I might need to check it out if the autoresponder program is being delayed in any way.

    I’ve seen a recent video of yours, it’s perfectly fine! Well done in fact!

    Thanks for visiting.:)

    [...] I’ve always known that some people do prefer written products. I’ve also always known that some people, including myself, prefer video products. [...]

    Hi Michelle from a fellow Melburnian, just found your site and nice styling and approach. YouTube has built an entire new market for me with health related products and it is certainly not too techie for anyone. There are some ways not to do it and it is fascinating to see how some clips atract thousands of views.

    Hi Michelle,
    After almost 10 months of reading every single e-book online, I said, enough already, I need to take action. Except I have one more report to read and it’s yours! I love your blog and just like everything else I’m new to Wordpress as well. As I build my new website on Patio Accents I wanted to add videos that are related to my topic. So I’m looking forward to finding out how to use YouTube to drive traffic to my site. Hopefully, my site will look better once I add some graphics and videos. I’ve been adding 1 or 2 pages a day. Someone once told me not to add to many at one time. I wonder if that’s true? Anyway, thanks again and take care. I’ll keep you posted! Cheers, Mirza

    Welcome Mirza!
    Thanks for visiting my blog, glad you like it. Fantastic to hear you’re taking action, it’s very easy to study endlessly and never do anything out of fear of not getting it right. There are lots of opinions on how fast to add content to your site, I think the more you add and the quicker you add it the better, that’s certainly worked for me. If you’re targeting good keyword phrases then the more you add the more you’ll have the chance to rank for. I’d love to hear more about how your site/s go in the future. I’m about to release a small report on how I created this blog, the free opt-in report and my All Hyped Up video on YouTube so that will give you a good idea of how you can get lots of runs on the board in less than a couple of days when you set your mind to it.:)

    Good luck with your new ventures.
