How To Get Affiliate Links Into Youtube Videos

Have you ever considered how you can use OTHER people’s video’s to get traffic to YOUR websites?

Other People’s Videos

According to the nice people at Youtube, 24 HOURS of video is added to their servers EVERY MINUTE!  With all of that video being added, wouldn’t it be nice if you can jump on the really popular videos back and take some of their viewers to YOUR websites?

How?

It takes some time to find the right video, but once you’ve found it, you can contact the channel owner and ask if you could pay them some money ($10 – $30 maybe) to put a clickable link in their ‘Comments’ section just below the video, along with an annotation IN the video saying something like “If you want to make X dollars, just click the link below!”.

What IS The Right Video?

Obviously, it’s best to find videos that are related to your area of interest (your niche, though I hate using that term….. I don’t know why), but if you can’t find one, you CAN simply try ANY video that meets the following criteria:

1. Must be current (published within the last 12 months)

2. That must not be a link in the comments section

3. Must be over 100,000 views

4. Must be INCREASING in popularity (shown in the drop down menu by the number of  views)

Once you’ve found your video, contact the channel owner and send them a nice message asking them if they’d like to make some money.  As always, be honest with them and tell them that you are a marketer and that you’ll pay them via paypal.

Then What?

If they agree, send them your link details along with the ‘annotation’ you want in their video.  They MAY need technical help doing this, and if so, find an instructional video ON Youtube explaining how to do it and send them a personal message via their contact details WITHIN their channel info (click on their channel name to find this).

Thought this may not be TARGETED traffic, in this economic climate, sufficiently high views of ANY video will get some people to come and look at your site.
