Video Marketing In 2008

On the ever changing landscape of Internet marketing, one thing is

for sure in today?s market: video is the medium of choice. If you

are not using video, you might as well ?hang it up.? Video is being

used for every conceivable purpose.

Today we all see the videos of eyewitness news accounts recorded by

a passer-by on his cell phone and posted to You Tube. TV stations

pick them up and include some of those clips as part of their news

broadcasts.

Even churches are keeping their parishioners, and many

others posted on what happens at their worship services and special

events.(Talk about a great marketing?errr– excuse me–evangelism

Young people video almost everything that goes on with their friends

and post those videos on My Space and You Tube, saying, ?Look at us!?

Because of the high cost of fuel and travel, video marketing is being

used by corporations on their websites to demonstrate (say ?market?) their

products. Live sales calls, meetings and seminars have gone the way of the

horse and buggy in favor of the ?webinar,? a combination of web-based video

and telephone conferencing.

It is only natural, then, that internet marketers, being extremely

innovative, would use video for everything from email to squeeze (opt-in)

pages. It is not uncommon to get an email with a link to a video telling us

that we simply must have a certain product.

It is even more common to find

the video telling us they?ll give us everything we ever wanted if we will but

enter our first name and email address. Some are even asking for a phone number

so they can contact us if they have any questions about our email address.

All kinds of ?gurus? are employing web-based video for instructing their

students. They are marketing themselves via video posts to Facebook, My Space,

Linked-In and other social media.

They are using webinars to market products as part of their latest ?launch.?

Even the affiliate marketers are using video to tell you about someone

else?s latest, greatest thing they have ever seen, and you must buy it

from them. Bloggers are employing video as opposed to the written word

to market their ideas.

We?re not talking about epic films here. We?re talking the kind of video

anybody can put together. With web cams, digital photos, cell phone clips

and software such as Power Point, Microsoft Movie Maker (standard on XP and Vista)

or Camtasia (a free download on the net) even an 8 year old can make a pretty

decent video. It takes only about 5 minutes for a 10 year old to learn, 20

minutes for a fifty year old.

The fact is that video marketing works. It works well. If anyone expects

to compete in today?s fast-paced, 30 second sound-bite world, then they must

learn to employ video in all aspects of their marketing.

CPA networks are companies that work between advertisers and publishers. They host CPA offers from their advertisers and then have their publishers push the traffic to these CPA offers and take a percentage of the lead value.

CPA stands for “cost-per-action” offers where a user fills out a form or downloads software from an advertiser. These forms can range from a zip code submit,a single email submit to a much longer form with multiple fields.

CPA Networks generally payout anywhere from $0.25-$3.50 for a single email submit, to as high as $140 for a longer form, without even making a sale. This what the internet millionaire Saj P call it Zero Friction Marketing because you don’t need to sell products to make money online with this business model.

Applying to CPA networks requires an application process by each network. While some CPA networks are extremely easy to get into, it can be difficult to get into some of the major CPA networks if you are new to the CPA marketing game

Well, when applying to any CPA network, you need to avoid looking like a beginner, even if you are one! Generally speaking, CPA networks DO NOT want these sorts of people because their potential for earning money for the network is lower. As a result, you need to look and sound like an experienced marketer!

Many of the CPA networks require you to enter a website, so I’d recommend setting up your own professional looking website and email address, as this will help you get accepted. Also, make sure you choose a respectable email address with your business domain. DON’T use one of the free email providers such as Yahoo or Hotmail as the CPA networks are unlikely to take you seriously if you don’t even take the time to get the basics right.

They will want semi-new affiliates, so tell them that your Internet marketing experience is 2 years or more. They don’t want a ‘green’ marketer whose naivety and newbie tactics will reflect badly on the company.

Some CPA networks will call you upon registration and enquire as to whether you’re suitable. So then, now that you have a professional looking website and email address, don’t let yourself down when it comes to answering the phone! This needs to be done in a professional manner as well, so when (or if) the CPA network calls, make sure you answer it in a professional manner, giving your full name, and business name. Also, record a business-like voicemail message in case you miss the call.

If you still get rejected, don’t be discouraged as there are hundreds of other CPA networks that you can apply to. I suggest you make a phone call to the CPA network and sell yourself on the phone. Almost 90% of the time, a phone call will get you accepted into the CPA network.

Once you are accepted, you need to start driving traffic to your site as quickly as possible, as any big advertiser is certainly going to be looking at traffic statistics as one of the criteria by which they select the sites which they will work with and those that they will not.

When it come to traffic, people make a basic mistake… they think using Google is enough. It’s absolutely not. You’ve heard the stories of people losing their shirts with Google Adwords. In fact, there are other advertising networks out there that can be easier to use, cheaper and sometimes even more profitable than Google Adwords.

Looking for a way to earn extra income online? Well, you’ve stumbled upon the right article. Have you ever heard of cost per action? Well, if you are participating in the various affiliate marketing programs then I’m sure that you must’ve read or heard about it at some point. Otherwise known as CPA, cost per action is quickly becoming one of the most lucrative, simplest and fastest ways to earn money online. In a way, compared to all other types of affiliate marketing, CPA is indeed easier to do. After all, unlike programs wherein you have to be able to sell something for a company in order to earn your commission, CPA only requires you to get someone to fill out a form or submit their email address to your main affiliate. It is significantly simpler and not to mention the fact that it is much easier to convince people to submit their email address or fill out a form than to get them to purchase something. How do you get paid? Well, for every lead or sign up that you generate, you get a certain amount of pay out which could be anywhere from $1-$25 or higher depending on the amount of information needed by your main affiliate. Typically, $1-$5 is given when you get people to submit their emails or fill up a short form.

Wondering about how cost per action actually works? Imagine this scenario. Think of yourself as an advertiser and of course the one thing that you want is to generate leads for your business quickly and efficiently. Now, if you were to do this yourself, the process would be tedious and would eat up a lot of your free time. So the next best step would be to hire a CPA network to do all of the work for you. These CPA networks would then deal with the affiliates who would generate the leads for you. After you receive the leads that you need, you simply pay the CPA network and they, in turn, would pay the affiliates who did the work. It’s a win-win situation for all three, actually.

What makes cost per action programs the best way to make money online? Well, if you really think about it, it’s the ease of the process that really trumps all others. When you depend upon your ability to sell a product in order to earn commission this basically means that you would have to work hard in convincing a person to part with their hard earned money and purchase something from your affiliate business’ website. This is no easy feat. After all, times are tough and people are more careful with how they spend their money. On the other hand, getting them to answer a few questions or submit their emails is relatively easier. Add a little bonus a freebie or a discount at some online shop and I’m sure you can easily get people to give the information your affiliate business needs. Do consider giving it a try if you’re already in the affiliate marketing business. Even if you aren’t, consider it because you never know how it can help your income.
