How to Make Money From Home Combining the Power of Affiliate Marketing and YouTube

Do you have a program you would like to promote online to make money with? One of the best ways to do that today is to start your own blog. In this article we will take a closer look at how to make money online with your own blog! There are two important points to keep in mind when it comes to using the Internet to make money promoting a program in your blog.

If the product you are promoting is a physical one then have your first video be of you opening the package! Or maybe it is even your second video…the first one can be about how excited you are that you ordered this product and you can’t wait to get it and you are looking forward to documenting your progress and sharing the results. That’s cool. Then you can make a video where you open the box and reveal the contents…maybe it is a series of DVDs or workbooks…or maybe it is exercise equipment, whatever it is, let the viewer know what they can expect when they order the product. Hold up each component, if there is more than one, and describe what it is and anything special or unique about the appearance.

Let’s translate that concept to if you promote a digital product. You can show going to the website…is the product a download that you are going to save to your computer? Are there streaming videos? Is it interactive? Are the graphics good? Is it easy to look at and follow? So even though you won’t be holding up a DVD or a special exercise jump rope, you can explain how great it looks and if there are many different pages within a website, how many pages the ebook is, etc.

You can also put a sign-up form to receive more information about your opportunity. You can then keep in touch with with your prospects via an autoresponder to follow up with them. This is another way to use your blog and use it as a recruiting tool to make money. Many successful Internet business owners use their own blog as a training tool for members to programs they are involved in. The members can subscribe to receive updates via the RSS feed from the blog itself to updates the blog.

Then every week you can add a video to the series. As you learn the system or utilize the product, document your progress…your successes and challenges…make progress reports and share them with the YouTube audience. If you are promoting a diet product did you lose weight or inches? Did it help with cravings? If you are in the craft niche, are you learning new skills or being given great tools or ideas? Have you been able to easily follow the instructions?.

No matter what type of product you are promoting, you are going to be driving traffic to a website so they, too, can have the success or fun that you are having…so within your video you will have your affiliate link. That way when people are watching the video see you demonstrating the product, like how easy it is to use, the results you are getting, whatever, they check out your affiliate link and then you get a commission on the sale. That is how to make money online by blending affiliate and video marketing in one shot!.
