This a guest Blog post, by Garen Arnold, who will be joining us with a regular Friday slot offering his expertise in SEO and other important internet marketing subjects.

Video marketing is a huge way to reach out to millions of people.  A lot of people really don’t realize the power of video marketing and do not use their videos as a way to drive traffic.  So it makes perfect sense that if you are working with affiliate marketing that you start taking advantage of this gold mine.

Last, I checked YouTube was the 4th biggest site and is used all around the world.  So prior to picking out your keywords you should start hammering out the videos.  I do them in bunches, I just get on a roll that way.  In fact, chances are you have written all kinds of articles already so why not regurgitate that content into a video.

A lot of people will grumble at the fact of making a video for two different reasons.  A, they do not know much about technology and B, they don’t have any clue what to do a video over.  Well, for one it is simple, and you can use ScreenToaster to create a how to video in Powerpoint.  Also, if you don’t know what to make a video about go to Ezinearticles.com and search for how to articles in your niche.  Then simply make a video on them.

To make your videos moneymakers, you need to make them pretty short and entertaining.  People either watch videos for problems they are trying to solve or they will watch them for entertainment.  Choose your path, are you going to educate people on something or are you going to entertain them.

Aside from that you want to leave them open ended.  There needs to be a link on your video and you can easily embed one by going to Bubbleply.com.  For example, if you are doing a video on making money online then you need to include a call for action. The goal is you want them to click your link.

Now, once you create your videos you want to get the word out on them.  Use Google blogs, Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly, Zimbio, WordPress, Gather, Facebook ect to leave comments on or create your own articles on these social media networks, and leave your videos on these social networking sites.  The most important thing to remember is not to get obsessed with it, just keep chugging away at getting backlinks to your videos.

Now here is the golden part; you want to get video views, channel views, ratings, ect.  Why because YTSEO is 10 times more complex than search engine optimization.  Rather than anchored text, backlinks, keywords density, ect. there are different factors that come into play with YouTube.  You have to have ratings, video views, channel views, subscribers,  comments ect.  Don’t forget you NEED backlinks too.  A good site I found for getting this is thetubeviews.net.  You can purchase your traffic there.

However, you are not going to make a killing on the hits that will come to your videos on the front-end.  The backend is what you are worried about though.  Overtime if you have a bunch of video views, channel views, comments, ect  it will boost your videos to the top of YouTube.  Millions of people search YouTube everyday so the possibilities for traffic are endless.

Now for the good part, over time when you are doing backlink building from social media sites, and also purchasing traffic from thetubeviews.net you will start showing up in Google.  Because YouTube is an authority site I have seen videos dominate competitive keywords.

So video marketing is great for so many reasons, you get a chance to stop writing, and get more content out there to start driving traffic to your websites.  More video traffic means more sales!  Google loves GOOD YouTube videos, and you can drive thousands of qualified visitors each month with YouTube.
