INTRODUCTION
My name is Jeff Farley, & I have been marketing online since 2008. In that
time, not only have I made money in a variety of different ways, but I have
also seen a lot of trends come and go. In fact, some of those trends were
quite profitable for me. If youve been doing this as long as I have, you will
remember the days of Bum Marketing. I would write a bunch of articles
on Ezines, and get conversions as a result, $1000 to $1500 a month. That
gave me some savings which I was able to use to spend on ads with the 800
lb. gorilla in the internet world, Google Adwords. As a result, I was able to
add an extra zero to that $1000-$1500 a month
Both methods went out the window a long time ago for me and almost every
other affiliate out there. After months (and even years) of trying to play cat
& mouse with Google, trying to sneak back in to their almighty advertising
platform, for the last year or so, Ive hardly even thought about trying to get
back in
What about search engine optimization? Yes, its still a viable way of
making money. But its definitely much harder than it used to be. Google
has gotten a lot better at detecting the strategies that affiliates were using to
game the system. If youre aiming to rank for a profitable keyword,
youre going to have to either spend a lot of time or money, and I suspect
you dont want to do either. I know I dont
Now, does that mean that the enormous organic search world of Google is
dead to you, the affiliate marketer? Hardly! You just have to think beyond
-
your mini affiliate site, but the good news is, you dont have to look too far.
In fact, you only need to look to the website with the 3rd highest amount of
traffic in the world. And that site is
The Google search engine LOVES YouTube. And why wouldnt it? After
all, the company owns this giant video platform. They bring in countless
dollars from all of the ads they place on YouTube videos. So as a marketer,
you dont have to deal with nearly as many SEO hassles as you to if you are
trying to rank for an affiliate site. On-page optimization is a breeze. You
dont have to constantly check your video on Copyscape to make sure it
doesnt violate Googles duplicate content penalty. Want to send a ton of
backlinks to a YouTube video to get it ranked quickly, but youre worried
youll be penalized the same way you would be if you did this for a website?
Dont sweat it! Fire away! The same rules do not apply to YouTube
videos
And maybe the best part of all this is ranking speed. You often have to wait
weeks (if not months) to see your websites rank in Google. This is not the
-
case with YouTube. You can rank quite quickly. And on the subject of
speed, developing a YouTube video is much faster than developing a full
website (no matter how skilled you are at web design)
Now that Ive hopefully convinced you that YouTube videos are the way to
go in SEO, lets look at what you need to do to get a video ranked so that
you can have some more money in your pocket!!!
-
THE METHOD FOR MAKING MONEY OFF
YOUTUBE VIDEOS
Step 1: What are you going to sell?
Perhaps you are already making money as an affiliate marketer, and dont
need any advice on what products to market and how to find them. If so,
congratulations! However, I still think you can benefit from my
perspective. Id bet the rest of you are struggling with what to sell. I know I
was when I got started
But then I stumbled upon a concept from a woman named Alexis Dawes,
and that is the concept of the desperate buyer.
I go after customers who need a solution RIGHT NOW and are willing to
pay what they need to in order to get it fixed. They don't have time to mine
through web forums, trying to find some free nugget of information. No,
these folks essentially have their credit card in hand, ready to buy
You need to be the one to give them that solution
Alexis Dawes unlocked the key to this method for success when she sold an
ebook on how to get a checking account, even if you are on ChexSystems.
If you're not familiar with this, a person who overdraws their checking

-
account and never puts funds back in to make the account balance positive
will eventually get placed on ChexSystems, making it very difficult to get a
new checking account elsewhere
Can you imagine how hard it would be to not having a checking account?
And can you see how badly someone who was in this situation would want
to fix it, even if they had to spend some money to find out the information to
do so?
I should know. I hate to admit it, but that was me in 2007. For months, I
had to pay my bills with a money order. Sometimes, I would just send cash,
praying it would arrive okay
If youd like to learn more about Dawes desperate buyers strategy, its
outlined here in her ebook Desperate Buyers Only. I also want you to
make a list of problems you think people have, and the types of products that
solve those issues

Step 2: What keywords are you going to target?
My business strategy is pretty simple. I dont target keyword phrases like
how to lose 10 pounds in a week. In fact, I couldnt care less about them
Nothing wrong with going after keyword phrases, if you choose to go that
route. But Im all about finding warm buyers. Again, those who have
their credit card in hand, ready to buy. Thats why I only target keywords
related to product names. Why? Because I know they are ready to buy, or
at least thinking about it. If not, why would they be searching for that
product? They just need a little encouraging, and that is where I come into
the picture. I reassure them in my copy that this product will fix their
problem, and that they should by it
Lets use the example of a customer who wants to lose weight. The person
searching for a product like Truth About Abs is much more likely to buy than
a person searching for something like how to get ripped abs. First of all,
the person searching for how to get ripped abs might be looking for a free
solution. And secondly, lets say that person reads on a site that The Truth
About Abs is the best product to make this happen. Well, they might end up
doing another search to see what other people are saying about Truth About
Abs. They may very well end up buying that product, but chances are, they
are not going to come back to your site to do it
***Please note. a small number of products do not allow you to use their
product name via the search engines. If they find out you are using their
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
product name in your SEO campaigns, they may refuse to pay you. If you
have any questions, consult your affiliate manager
As far as which keyword phrases to target, I primarily target the actual
product name. But there are some other related phrases you can target as
well. So if I was promoting Truth About Abs I would target the following
phrases other than the obvious one, Truth About Abs:
-Truth About Abs review
-Buy Truth About Abs
-Purchase Truth About Abs
-Truth About Abs scam
-Truth About Abs cost
-Truth About Abs does it work
-Truth About Abs scam
Of course, to target a product name to make commissions off that offer, you
have to be signed up with a network that has that offer. The network that
most affiliate marketers start with is Clickbank. This network mainly offers
software products and ebooks. There are also a number of other CPA (cost
per action) networks out there that will pay you for whats essentially a lead.
Many of these are known as email submits where the customer simply
enters their email address and is entered to win, among other things, a free
gift card, or iPad, or LED TV. The conversion rates are very good on these,
but the downside is that the payout is very low, usually about $1.25. I
generally stay away from such low paying offers. The other downside is
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
that these offers are almost always for well-known product names. Its
going to be very difficult for you to rank on page one of Google for iPad. Id
stick with higher paying offers
In addition to Clickbank, here are some of the CPA networks I would
recommend that you sign up for:
-Peerfly (very respected, trusted network)
-Markethealth
-Sellhealth
-Profit Kings Media
-Point Click Track
-Ads4Dough
-Convert2Media
-MaxBounty
Another great affiliate network to take advantage of here is the Amazon
Associates network. Amazon products convert very well because theyre
products that people are already looking to buy. Your job is just to get a site
(or, in our case, a YouTube video) with YOUR affiliate link to that product
out in front of them! There are a couple of drawbacks to Amazon products.
First, the competition can be fierce, so dont try and rank a YouTube video
for the keyword Sony 4K TV and think itll be easy. But there are
thousands of products out there that arent quite so competitive, so dont let
this scare you away from promoting Amazon stuff. The other drawback is
that the payouts are not as high as many other affiliate offers. Then again,
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
the conversion rates for Amazon products tend to be higher than traditional
affiliate offers
And on the topic of commissions, there is one big benefit to Amazon
products that I would like to share. Lets say you are promoting a Cuisinart
product, and a customer buys it from your affiliate link. Well, for anything
else that they buy on Amazon for the next 24 hours, you get commission on
that as well!!!! I once had a guy tell me he made a commission off a
$100,000 diamond ring someone bought off Amazon!!!!! And that was
because the customer originally landed on his page that was promoting a
telephone!
So now that we know where to look for products to sell, we still need to
answer the question of what product to promote? In addition to using the
desperate buyer factor, there are also a couple of other metrics you can
use. When going through the offers on a CPA network, look for the EPC
(earnings per click) and, if its available, the conversion rate (which will
usually be shown as CR). Its how much users earn for every 100 times
theyre affiliate link has been linked. So, for instance, if Product A has an
EPC of $8.70, for every 100 clicks that have been sent to Product A, users
have made an average of $8.70. This gives you a general idea of how the
product is converting if the CR is not available. It also can give you a bit of
an idea of how much traffic the offer gets. You may see a product with a
HUGE payout, but if you see a N/A in the EPC column, chances are it
doesnt get a lot of searches (at least not on that network).
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
Heres an idea of what Im talking about, using data from the Point Click
Track network:
I have circled in red the offer with the best EPC, iContact. But I still want
some more information on how many people are searching for this product.
If no one is searching for it, then it doesnt make much sense to put the work
in to get a YouTube video on the product ranked high in Google. (At least
-
not at first. Once youve started making some money, you could reinvest
your profits, and build an army of YouTube videos for a bunch of different
products. Imagine if you had 200 videos bringing in $5 a day!!!!!)
To find out how many searches a product gets per month, we will go to the
Google Keyword Planner, formerly known as the Google Keyword Tool.
This will give us a rough estimate of how many searches per month a
particular keyword gets
Lets look up iContact:
This keyword gets 27,100 searches per month. That is definitely enough
searches to be very profitable if you were to get your video to page one of
Google! (Ignore the competition column; that only deals with Adwords pay
per click (PPC)
However, we dont have a winner just yet. We want to make sure the
competition in the organic search listings of Google isnt too tough. So lets
type in iContact into Google and see what comes up:
AyeshaHighlight
-
As you can see, there are a lot of major authority sites like Facebook,
Twitter, and Wikipedia that are occupying the first page of Google for this
keyword. Unless you have a very good SEO budget, I would stay away
from this keyword. (As a general rule, I stay away from product keywords
that are relatively well-known in the marketplace)
AyeshaHighlight
-
The other thing we have to worry about is, how many backlinks are pointing
to these sites. If its a huge number, then we should ignore this product
keyword because its probably going to take a lot of very good (i.e.,
expensive) backlinks to rank for it
Lets examine the backlink profile for icontact.com, which comes up first in
the search rankings. To do this, I will go to a site called ahrefs.com:
As you can see, this URL has 13 MILLION backlinks pointing to it. Best
for us to just move on
Remember, when in doubt, you can always email your affiliate manager
and ask them which offers get the most traffic and which convert the best
After scrolling through Point Click Tracks offer sheet, I found a product
that intrigued me. Its called 100 Day Loans UK. It gets 3,600 searches per
month, and its EPC is $3.45. Definitely profitable
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
Now lets check Google to see the competition on page one. Well do this
by specifically searching in the UK, so we go to google.co.uk:
AyeshaHighlight
-
Well, Im not seeing a tremendous amount of competition from huge
authority sites, so I think we have a winner! Especially considering there
are no other YouTube videos on page one!
What if there are already YouTube videos on page one of Google? Well for
now, I would recommend trying a different keyword. But if its a keyword
you have your heart set on, then you need to determine how difficult it is
going to be to outrank these videos. Lets see how many backlinks this
video has pointing to it. To figure this out, we will go back to ahrefs.com
AyeshaHighlight
-
Im going to see what the results are for the keyword Plimsleur, a popular
language program that gets 40,500 searches per month!!!!
As you can see, there is a YouTube video for this keyword on page one.
Lets check its backlink profile in Ahrefs:
-
Only 12 backlinks!!!! That is great news!!!! Definitely a keyword you
could work with
So now that we have some ideas for products to promote, lets move on
-
Step 3: Creating Your Video
Before you get started, please know that your video needs to be at least a
minute long, preferably two minutes or longer. You are going to have a very
hard time ranking your video on page one of Google if its shorter than one
minute
Dont know what you should say in your video? Want to learn the exact
outline I use to narrate my videos to maximize conversions for ANY offer
Im promoting??? Then click here
You may be wondering if you are going to face a big challenge in creating a
YouTube video. Dont worry!!!! Its very easy!!!
All you need are four things:
-A cheap microphone (I got one for around $14 at Best Buy)
-Microsoft Word (or a similar system for creating text)
-Go to Screencast-o-matic.com (its free! No account needed)
-YouTube account
The first step is the figure out what you are going to show on your video. I
keep mine as simple as possible, and that means bringing up Microsoft
Word, inserting a picture of the product I am promoting, and a link to the
product:
AyeshaHighlight
-
Now, notice the link we are sending the visitor to. I have gone and
shortened my affiliate link. It would normally be
http://pointclicktrack.com/click/track/p/9258/c/63855/s1/. That is way too
long, and just looks funny to the user. Thats why I take advantage of a
URL shortener like bitly.com
-
As you can see, I have pasted my affiliate link in the box at the top of the
screen. I will then hit shorten.
This will give me a shortened link:
Its now time to create the video. I use Screenomatic.com. As I mentioned
earlier, it is free. A lot of people use Jing, but the problem with that program
is that you cant directly publish to YouTube unless you have the Pro
version. Screencast-o-matic will guide you through the process
-
As I mentioned when you bought the course, I am giving you the
opportunity to have ME make your video for you! I will choose the
graphics, narrate the script, pick the title, description and tags, and even
upload it to your account for you (if you wish). Click here if you are
interested

Step 4: Ranking Your Video in Google
The information I am about to share with you really is the most important
part of this course. Knowing which products to promote, and how to create
videos is essential, of course, but you could have the greatest video for the
greatest converting offer ever, but if no one sees it, you wont make any
money
The key to getting your YouTube video ranked in Google is really the same
as getting any site ranked, and that is backlinks!!!! But this is especially
true for videos, because, like I mentioned earlier, the same spam policies
Google has in place for your regular sites do not apply to YouTube videos.
If you send 1 million links to your website in a week, its going to get
slapped so far down in the rankings that it will never be seen again. Send
that many to Google? Much different story
So what type of backlinks do you need to build, and how many? Well, I
would say as many as you can afford. Now you dont have to build a ton of
backlinks to rank for many product-related keywords. But for more popular
keywords, Id say build as many as you can. But for this training, I will
show you whats needed to get the average product-related keyword with
decent search volume to the top of Google
Im going to start by having a Fiverr.com user create a link wheel for me.
So essentially, the person who performs the Fiverr gig is going to put my
YouTube link on a bunch of different websites, but theyre also going to link
AyeshaHighlight
AyeshaHighlight
-
a lot of those sites together, so that each will get more link juice. Its also
going to be quite varied, so the whole thing will look natural
Heres a great Fiverr gig for making this happen:
http://fiverr.com/crorkservice/create-75-pr3-to-pr8-seo-llnkwheel-and-2000-
social-bookmarks-great-for-youtube
This gig has more than 6600 positive votes!!! An outstanding service
provided here by crorkservice
-
Were not done yet with backlinks though. We are now going to create
some backlinks from .EDU & .GOV sites. These type of backlinks are very
powerful because Google gives them a lot of weight. Ill recommend
another great, highly ranked gig:
http://fiverr.com/stormchaser/create-50-edu-and-gov-links-to-your-website
Heres a step that is not essential, but can speed up the ranking process
(which, by the way, usually takes about a month or so). This optional step
will get your video a ton of backlinks. Youll be using a service called
Scrapebox. Its an automated software program that automatically posts to
sites all over the world. And the great thing about it is, you can easily let it
run for hours in the background on your computer. Im not going to give a
tutorial on Scrapebox here, but you can find lots of information on how it
-
works by doing a Google or YouTube search. Scrapebox is normally $97,
but you can get a $45 discount here: http://kingwarrior.co/scrapebox-
discount
So far, weve talked about how to get ranked in Google, the #1 search
engine in the world. But what about the #2 search engine? And no, I am not
talking about Bing/Yahoo. No, the #2 search engine is YouTube itself! And
what better place to have your video show up in the search results than
YouTube itself?
In order to make this happen, we need to look at two more Fiverr packages.
The first is to buy some high retention views. Notice the words high
retention. This is important because this means the majority of your view
will be watched. Google and YouTube can obviously track this, and if they
see someone clicked on your video right away and then immediately went
elsewhere, you wont see any benefit
Heres a good high retention view service to use: http://fiverr.com/facebook_book/add-20000-high-retention-youtube-views-in-5-days
-
We also need to get some likes, but that number needs to be much lower
than the number of high retention views because most people that view a
video dont hit the like button. I also want a Fiverr service that will give me
some manual comments. This helps add some social proof
Heres a good one here: http://fiverr.com/feelfreeme/100-youtube-likes-and-20-custom-comments-for-your-yt-video-in-1-day
-
At this point, youve completed the process. As I mentioned earlier, it will
take about a month for your video to be ranked, depending on the
competition. You may need to repeat these steps to get your video to where
you want it to be, but dont give up!
Once you get a video ranked and you start making money, scale things
up!!!! The potential to make money off many different affiliate offers is
limitless
-
CONCLUSION:
One final word: please promise me you will perform the steps I have laid out
in this guide. Dont just read this guide and let it sit on your computers
hard drive. I honestly cant think of a better source of cheap traffic than
YouTube
And dont forget, its still not too late to pick up your copy of YouTube
