The latest trend is videos. You know it and I know it. YouTube is the largest video sharing site on the web and guess what, smart people are using it to make big money on the web!

With a simple video camera or webcam, you have the opportunity to reach millions of people. If you play your cards right, you can win the interest of your viewers and earn big money from affiliate programs!

Do you know what affiliate programs are? An affiliate program is a simple system where YOU, the affiliate, promote other people’s products online by signing up for their affiliate program, and in return, you can make commissions on every sale you refer through your referral link. .

The great thing about using affiliate programs and videos is that you basically incur no costs!

If you are creating videos that have to do with dog training, then you can easily sign up for a free dog training affiliate program and show the link in your video or even put it on your video profile.

But affiliate links are usually very long, so you will need to shorten them by purchasing your own domain name.

It will cost you a measly $ 9 in total. Go to a website called GoDaddy and then buy your domain there. Then configure DOMAIN MASKING, also called URL MASKING and configure it to redirect your domain to your affiliate link. That means that if someone loads your domain in their browser, they are redirected to the affiliate link.

If you have no idea what this is or how to do it, just contact GoDaddy support and they will help you very quickly.

So what kinds of products should you promote through videos?

First of all, you get 2 types of products:

1. Digital products

2. Physical products

When promoting an affiliate product through videos, promote a PHYSICAL product. You must show the product in your videos.

The problem is that most people don’t have the money to buy the product. There is a solution to this problem.

Ask your affiliate manager or merchant if they can send you a sample of the product for free or even the product itself.

Tell them that you want to create a full product video series and that the product will appear in multiple videos. For example, if you are promoting a certain dog training DVD course, you can show people videos of a disobedient dog and then show them the DVD course on the video. It is very powerful and it works! They will definitely type your domain into the browser and then boom, they will go through your hidden referral link!

But what about digital products then?

The only digital products that I recommend you promote are services that people can sign up for for free and pay you. Like the Yuwee social site and other CPA affiliate offers. Just Google “CPA Affiliate Program” and sign up for a few.

Just remember that whatever product you are promoting in your video, it MUST be relevant to the topic of your video!

And my BIGGEST advice is to create an entire video series on the same topic. If your videos are about disobedient dogs, keep them all on that topic! This will allow you to give multiple exposure to your affiliate product.

So to conclude, video and affiliate programs are the way to go for 2008. If you want to make extra money working from home, this is the way to go!
