I just read a really interesting piece through a newsletter subscription that I have through Internet Marketing Secrets. It’s SEO buff Michael Cambell’s weekly newsletter.
He’s always been big on affiliate marketing, and adsense revenue strategies through solid SEO techniques. I used to be a big time SEO geek that would read anything I could get my hands on, but lately I’ve been so busy, my affiliate marketing side business has been at a stand still.
But something about Michael’s newsletter hit me… maybe it was the title: “1,200 New Visitors in 7 days, all treat, no tricks”
…I read on…
You can read the article yourself here, but I’ll just summarize it for you.
The basic idea is to find a niche within YouTube, create a video about it, and then direct people to your website with a short advertisement at the end of the video.
Michael’s strategy was to create a video about how to groom a cat. He then proceeded to place an affiliate link at the end of the video (I assume for cat grooming products). He claims that he made close to $500 in less than a week.
It is definitely a good idea if you have time to mess around with affiliate links, and editing video. But, it really just got me thinking about the real estate industry… and how a similar idea might be used to promote listings, or simply promote yourself.
Maybe a dog grooming video could drive some traffic??? food for thought
