In this eBook guide, the following websites will be your tools in making money, so if you aren't familiar with them, I suggest at least making an account for each as we go. These websites include e-Products to sell, sources we will use to advertise them and help them gain exposure, as well as URL masking tools so that people aren't aware they are earning someone a commission when they buy a product (which is a major turn off and can kill a sale).
.com YouTube.com ClickBank Ow.ly TinyUrl.com MaxBounty Google Keyword Tool Fiverr Fiverr.com
Through experience I have learned that these websites go hand in hand, cooperating and piggy-backing each other to maximize your income.
What we will Acheive Posting promotional videos which advertise eBooks, Software, and other e-Products on Youtube is a great way to generate a long term stream of passive income. Allow me to explain: Youtube is completely free to use, and your video (unless it violates the TOS) will be online forever, until you decide to take it down. Having a high ranking video (in either YouTube itself, or the Google Search engine) which is advertising a product with your affiliate link underneath means that even weeks, months, or YEARS from now, the sales can continue to roll in as you sit back and do nothing. All it takes is the time to upload a video, and write a description. Your video will be targeting people already curious about the product, and are searching for it, and your video will be the final "push" which convinces them to buy, and earns you an affiliate sale.

Selecting an Affiliate Network Firstly, we must select an affiliate network to promote products from. As you should know by now, there are a huge selection of affiliate networks to choose to be a publisher for. The two I can recommend the most are ClickBank, and MaxBounty, MaxBounty MaxBounty can be a great network, since they have products which pay per sign-up. Some offers pay a couple of dollars to you simply by someone filling in their email address. (Before we get ahead of ourselves, they are VERY strict on this being legitimate, so do not try and "fake" any emails for commissions, you WILL get banned). The only downside to MaxBounty is that they require you to have a phone interview with them, in which you must prove you are an at least a mildly experienced affiliate marketer with a reasonable chance of success. Don't worry, the staff are very friendly. You will have to provide details of prior affiliate experiences, and a means by which you intend to advertise their products. I told them video advertising, and got through the interview with no troubles. If you make it through, congratulations, you can now start generating leads for an offer that pay very generously. For the average offer you can promote, you will earn $2.50 per person who even submits their email address to the site. A highly recommended affiliate. Even if you decide to use ClickBank as your primary affiliate, I HIGHLY recommend registering with MaxBounty aswell, and trial offers from both affiliates Maxbounty has the HIGHEST converting, and best Free affiliate products, which are much easier to distribute for commissions. Create a FREE account at www.maxbounty.com ClickBank ClickBank is my choice for this guide, for several reasons. It has its pro's and con's as with any other affiliate network, which are as follows: Pro's: • Easy to sign up • Large variety of products from MANY different categories to promote • Physical AND eBook/Software products to sell • Some products are "recurring billing" (Which is VERY important for a long term income) • Option to use a "QR Code" as your affiliate link which may be printed out and scanned from any compatible mobile device, earning you a commission upon a sale conversion • It is possible to contact product vendors for a FREE version of their product for review purposes • Very high cut of any sale goes to you (most commonly 75% of the sale price) Easy to find reviews of most ClickBank products online More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
Con's: • Minimum earnings before cash-out (Can be set as low as $50) • First 2 payments MUST be delivered to a home address as Cheques (a small portion of earnings are deducted), and cashed in successfully before you can start using instant bank deposits, or other payment methods for your earnings. • Large base of users all trying to sell from the same pool of products I recommend making an account for both affiliates, a variety of offers is vital.

Before choosing a username, let me share with you a very sneaky, secret trick I have created which will help you convert sales at a much higher rate, and let me tell you, I have noticed the difference. You might first think that your username would be for logging in only, however what you might not find out until it is too late is that your "Affiliate ID" is actually displayed in the URL for hop-links of certain products you promote. That's right, that means that if you chose a ridiculous username such as "MoneyHustla123", people who view a product might see something like this in their browser: Productname.com/hop=MoneyHustla123 How off putting. Nobody is going to want to buy a product from someone with such a blatantly obvious incentive to sell it. Luckily, nowadays the majority of products on ClickBank automatically mask your affiliate ID in the URL, however it can't hurt to be safe. Since your "Affiliate ID" might be shown, the trick is choose a username which has or includes an arbitrary word which someone looking to buy may associate with general internet-related, or deal related words, which they may glance over and not be alerted that someone is gaining a commission from their purchase of the product. Some personal suggestions of sneaky word combo's you might use: display, offer, bonus, deal, halfprice, html, special, gif, home, index, jpeg... I'm sure you can come up with something that doesn't give yourself away as an affiliate. (I have known people to choose a username specific to a certain product, so that it looks even more legitimate in the URL bar, however this is undesirable since you would have to create a new account and username for every different product to promote)
More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
Choosing a Product Now that you have created a sneaky username to login with, we will start deciding on which product to start promoting. This will be written in terms of ClickBank, however it can be adapted to allow for MaxBounty. I recommend a careful criteria be met before selection of a product. Firstly, click on the "marketplace" link at the top of the ClickBank homepage, and then you should see a blank search box for you to start finding a product from. Luckily, the Search function of ClickBank is very comprehensive, which allows us to filter their products by popularity, keyword relevance, average dollars per sale, average rebill total, average percentage of people who rebill (which means they sign up to a monthly subscription, which means you make another sale for each new month after they purchase), and product gravity. Many people question the relevance of gravity, and there is much confusion to its definition, so I will clarify. "Number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the vendor's products. This is a weighted sum and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last 8 weeks we add an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 to the total. The more recent the last referral, the higher the value added. added."" It is a common misconception that just because a product has a high gravity, that it is an easy product to sell, but in fact the case can be quite the opposite. It often occurs that many affiliate newcomers will start trying to promote a chosen product, and regardless of how well it sells, they keep investing time and money in advertising until a sale finally IS made, at which point the gravity count is increased, and the more people looking for a product to sell find it, and the process spirals out of control. So I advise that gravity not be taken too seriously. You may also choose on the left hand side of the page to adjust the slider for a minimum Average Sales %, other slider criteria, or to tick a box to display ONLY products which have a "rebill" under the billing type, or a $1 trial. I have found that the $1 trial is a good bonus for products to sell, because often as a potential buyer attempts to leave the sales page because it seems to expensive, they are prompted with an "Are you sure? Do not leave this page to receive a special discount" pop-up, which I have known to convert buyers into a full recurring billing cycle. Non-recurring billing products often have a higher payment as a "once off sale", where as the ones which do continue to bill each month may have a lower initial payout, and then continue to draw money and overtake the previous option in the long run (Assuming the buyer does not cancel their subscription.) I have also found that simply pressing the space bar into the search field before clicking the search icon will reveal ALL products, which you can then filter without having to target products related to a certain keyword. This is great for finding the very best in a certain criteria, such as average rebill total.

We are looking for a product which we can rank highly in the YouTube and Google search engine, to generate traffic without having to do anything. My trick is to find a product with a decent sale price (Preferably over $20 to make it worth your trouble promoting), and then to scout YouTube for competing videos. (Some ClickBank products already have several high ranking videos, such as Six Pack Shortcuts). Sometimes using a "recently added" ClickBank product will help you rank faster, and easier, since there will be almost zero competition. The idea is that people searching for information on the product you have chosen will stumble across your video, and then click on the link in your video description, and potentially earn you an affiliate sale. To increase the chances of this, you want your video to be ranking higher than other results so that people choose to click on your video. A good way to check the competition of a product is to do a Google search: Is there any results on the first page that are YouTube videos? (If not, this is a good sign that there is little competition. If yes, can you outrank them?) Do they have many views? (Under 20 thousand views is optimal, otherwise it may be hard to outrank them.) Does the video have a high ratio of "Thumbs up" in the video rating? (The amount of Positive thumbs is proven to influence the position of a videos ranking in the search results)
You will also want to use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to see if people are actually searching for information on this product. It will show you related keywords, and how many people search for any word or phrase each month. Ideally, you want to see a "Low" under the competition heading, and at least a few thousand global monthly searches. Once you have selected an ideal product to promote, click on the "Promote" button next to it. It will then display your username in the first box (The second box is for tracking purposes, and is not required). Leave your username in the first field, and click "create" to be given a copy of your unique hop-link, which is specific to you. Do not worry about the HTML code. You now want to copy your unique hop-link, and save it, which will we will later shorten to a much cleaner, and less "ugly" link, which is far more likely to be clicked.

Choosing a Video You will need to choose a video to post on YouTube to start promoting your product of choice. Remember, this is the video that everyone will see that has to convince them to buy. There are 4 main options to do this.
Make your own review video It is possible contact the vendor of a ClickBank product to request a review copy of their eBook/Software. Once you have the product, using your own original content, whether it be of yourself talking, or a screen capture of the product in action, make a video to convince the viewers that the product you are promoting is worth buying, and that you recommend it. Be honest, and don't make any claims that the product can't deliver. If they end up buying the product thinking it is better than it is, they may get a refund through ClickBank and you will not earn a commission.
Download a sales video off the Product homepage If you are lucky, the sales page for the product you are linking to might just have the perfect video for you to use which you can download and use as your promotion video. One thing to consider with this option, is that if you are using the exact same video as the one on the home page, people will have no new video content on the vendors homepage once they click your hop-link to leave YouTube to check out the product. Also, some product landing pages do NOT display, or allow you to click a "Get this Product Now!" button until you finish watching the mandatory video. If they have already seen this video, they may be turned off by having to wait, and get frustrated that they cannot find a "Buy" button easily, which may cost you a sale. It really depends on the page, I advise you to check it out.
Download a video created by another User This is by far the easiest, and least time consuming method, however this option really comes down to morals. I highly recommend using one of the other 2 options to create the highest quality sales pitch video. However, since this is a strategy that DOES get used, I will include it as an option. Are you willing to use the hard work of someone else and reuse their video for your own personal gain? If your answer is yes, then you will want search YouTube for the product, and watch a few videos until you decide which one made the product seem most appealing. Be careful to use a program such as Windows Movie Maker or equivalent to edit out any specific mentions of the username, or specific link of the uploader. Also, by choosing this method, you are risking that they will file a copyright claim against the video. (It isn't as serious as it sounds, and is unlikely, however the video may get taken down, and you will receive a copyright strike against your YouTube account, accumulating 3 of these infringements will get your account banned). If you still wish to proceed, copy the URL of the YouTube video you wish to More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
download, head over to KeepVid.com, paste the URL into the entry field, and click download. The file type you want to download once it is down processing is the "MP4", of the maximum resolution possible. This is a format YouTube recognizes when you upload it
Hire a user on Fiverr.com to make a review video for $5 Many members of the WebMoneySolution newsletter have made inquiries about which is my personal preferred "Making a Video" technique, and which is the most successful. A lot of you don't have the time to create your own video, and do not want to use someone else's video, which is very reasonable. I have actually started seeing the most results from this technique. Use Fiverr.com to hire someone to make a review video for you you.. I have found this to be the best technique for the following reasons: � Privacy - You won't have to appear on camera to give a review � Quick - It will save you the time of editing, and creating your own video � Easy - Someone else makes the video for you � Cheap - For Only 5 dollars on Fiverr, it's well worth the hassle it saves � Legal - You will own the rights to the video you receive � High Converting - I have had a great success in sales generated from the videos I buy If you are interested in this new video creation technique, head over to Fiverr.com to search for review video gigs.
Uploading your Video to YouTube Once you have decided on a video creation strategy, we must upload the final product. It is VERY important that we fill in the fields for the upload with the goal of optimizing the video for being searched for your products keyword. For the fields provided, we will use "Awesome Fat Loss Product" as the example product. Raw Filename This one is an SEO secret of which few people are aware. If your product is for example called "Awesome Fat Loss Product", it will actually help you rank higher for your keyword if you change the filename of the video before you upload it to correspond as the product itself rather than a less relevant filename. This sneaky technique has been proven to increase search standings, even though nobody can see the filename once it is uploaded. Example: "AwesomeFatLossProduct.mp4" Title To maximize search rankings, the title should begin with the product name itself, followed by a related few words, not too long, and another variation of the word. More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
Example: "Awesome Fat Loss Product - Get Fit with AwesomeFatLossProduct" Description Here is where we use our URL shorteners as a cloak for our affiliate link. Get the hop-link we obtained earlier from ClickBank by pressing "Promote Now" next to your product of choice, and now go to www.ow.ly and paste in your link. Just type in the captcha code, and you are ready. You now have a nice shortened link which is cloaking your affiliate link, which is much more likely to be clicked. Another alternative to ow.ly is a website called bit.ly. This website is more renowned, however I have had trouble with it not redirecting to my hop-link in the past. If you want an alternative to ow.ly, I have myself started recently using www.TinyURL.com. The beauty of TinyURL is that you can physically choose the extension of the url, so you could have your custom link set to tinyurl.com/awesomefatlossproduct. Save your link. For optimal ranking, you want to have at least 200 words in your description, anywhere up to around 500. Remember to make the product sound as appealing as possible, and have a link to the product at the top, AND bottom of the description. You also want to use your targeted keyword quite a few times, but make sure you don't overdo it. Example Description: "Check out Awesome Fat Loss Product here: www.tinyurl.com/awesomefatlossproduct
Awesome Fat Loss Product has changed the way I feel because blah blah blah I highly recommend Awesome Fat Loss Product!.... (200-500 words description) Download Awesome Fat Loss Product now! www.tinyurl.com/awesomefatlossproduct"
Tags Make sure to have all variations of the product name, and any relevant keywords. It has also been proven that using the tags from popular, related videos can help increase the clickthrough rate to your video. You may have to guess these, because YouTube no longer readily displays the tags of other peoples videos. However, luckily I have made a spectacular discovery which will help increase your YouTube video rankings. As it has been pointed out already, YouTube had an update in which they "hide" the tags of other peoples videos to everyone but the uploader, in order to prevent people from copying these tags for their video to rank even higher.
More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
I HAVE FOUND THE WORKAROUND TO ENABLE TAG VIEWING OF COMPETING VIDEOS There is a VERY sneaky way to access the tags of popular related videos in your browser, here's what I discovered: 1. Head over to YouTube, and do a search for your keyword of choice. 2. Once you have found the top search ranking videos for this keyword, open them in new tabs. 3. Right click on the page, and select "View Page Source" 4. A new window will open, in this window, hit "Ctrl + F" to start a search of the page 5. Enter the word: "Keyword" and hit enter to search 6. The first result you should see: <meta name="keywords" content=" 7. These are the tags of the video which YouTube tried to hide! 8. Now you can copy these tags, and go to your own video, click edit, and paste these into the "tags" field. Your video now has significantly more chance of showing up in the "Related Videos" section of YouTube when people watch these other, more popular videos, and this will increase your videos search ranking noticeably over time. Example: "awesomefatlossproduct, awesome fat loss product, awesome, fat, loss, product, weight loss, lose weight, fitness, health, ebook, fat loss guide" Category Select the most relevant category for your product. Simple enough. Thumbnail Once the video is uploaded, you will get a choice of 3 thumbnails taken from intervals in your video, pick the one which looks the most appealing to click. If it is a review video, pick the thumbnail with the face of the person or product visible, and not at a point where these is text on the screen which would be illegible in the small thumbnail. Before we proceed to the next step, PLEASE be sure to wait for your video to process, and watch the entire length of the video to make sure the audio is synced correctly, and it is of the correct length. If it is not, it will require a re-upload. I have made the mistake of NOT checking my video, and paid to drive traffic to it, and ended up with a dodgy video ranking on Google, which was hard to rectify.
Driving Traffic to your YouTube Video This is where the cooperation of websites comes into place so perfectly. Some of you might be familiar with a website called Fiverr, which describes itself as the More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
World's largest marketplace for small services. This entire strategy would not be possible without this brilliant website, it is a freelancing website which people are willing to do almost anything, for as the name implies, only 5 dollars. You will definitely need to register a free account here, and since Fiverr has such a massive variety of "Gigs" online, it is just a matter of a seconds to search the site to find results for what we are looking for. Using Fiverr we will boost the SEO of our video, and hopefully soon have it ranking on Google and YouTube in the top results for your product keyword. Visit Fiverr Now If you do a search on Fiverr for "YouTube Views", you will see the vast variety of services that the Fiverr community has to offer. Some particular gigs offer pure video views, while others offer combinations of views, likes, comments, and more. When selecting a gig, always check to see if the user who has posted the gig has a 100% gig-feedback rating, and check the feedback comments to confirm the service and user are trustworthy. Try and find a gig with a compromise of the most views and likes, from a trustworthy seller. With YouTube views, many gigs from certain countries provide "Fake views", which are generated by refreshing the page from the same user, which can hurt your videos ranking. You want to avoid this, and look for a gig which guarantees "Real human views", or something similar. Once you have purchased a gig, the seller should automatically send you a notification asking you for the relevant details, which will usually just be the URL of the YouTube video you uploaded, and perhaps a keyword which you want to target. Just send it to the seller in the message box, and they will complete your order within the specified time. Depending on how many views the video you are competing with has, you may need to order multiple gigs of views and likes from various sellers in order to overtake them. Your video will also seem more legitimate if you purchase a YouTube comments gig, and have them write positive things about the product from different accounts. Some other gigs you might want to submit your video to on Fiverr: • Social bookmarks with Ping • Traffic Geyser (To distribute your video to other websites, creating valuable back links) • Article Spinning distribution • Web Link Pyramid Usually social bookmarks are enough to get your video ranking, and so I usually only order the other gigs if I don't see results from the social bookmarks. Once you've made the orders, it's just a waiting game to see your videos views and likes increase, and over the next few days (Sometimes in as little as 24 hrs) your video may start ranking on Google. Once this happens, the organic traffic of people looking for information on the product will stumble across your video, click More Internet Marketing Guides by Tim K: http://www.webmoneysolution.com
your affiliate link, and hopefully start making you sales on ClickBank. The more competitive the product is you are promoting, the longer it will take to see results, however I have had results and sales in as little as 24 hours. Usually, it will takes between 1 to 3 weeks before the sales start to consistently roll in.
Summary Altogether this process should only take about 1 hour to complete. The time it took you to upload one of these videos can be recreated countless times with other affiliate products. If you build up enough videos which successfully rank on Google and YouTube and draw organic traffic, there is no limit to the amount of sales you can make per day, and hopefully soon be enough to quit your job and live off the income. We can also think about outsourcing, or mass recreating my plan. As an average, my video will perform decently, and can make about $450 in total sales in one month, which is just over 20 sales, for just 1 hours work (to make and upload). Imagine if you made 1 of these videos a day for 30 days, you could easily make 30 x $450, that's a potential $13,500 over the following month month. However, with internet marketing, these numbers and comparable success just can't be guaranteed. You might make less, you could even make more. In all honesty, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to have some videos that have no results, and others that completely dominate the search engine. It all depends on how well you execute this strategy. Imagine the excitement to wake up, check ClickBank, and see sales, the reward of your hard work. YouTube Affiliate Marketing is the ultimate in autopilot incomes. I wish you the best of luck in your YouTube Affiliate Marketing success. Cheers Tim K
