Promote Physical Products with Product Review

A really great way to make money on YouTube is to make review videos for products that you can find on Amazon. There are so many high-end products out there that you can do this for, such as iPads, hot tubs, and jewelry. Really, you're only limited by your imagination. A lot of people are visiting YouTube to look into products that they may want to buy. People especially research high-priced products because they want to make sure that the product is good before they make such a large investment.

Go to YouTube and type in the word 'iPad', and you will see that all sorts of videos come up. Topping this list is a review on the iPad Air. In only eight months' time, this video has gotten well over a million views. You can see this demonstrated in the screenshot above.

If you were to click on this video, you would see that it is only nine minutes long. The person that made this video put his Amazon affiliate link right below the video. He also connected it with his Google account, his Facebook account, and his Instagram account. This helped him to get a lot of love from YouTube. You can get a ton of traffic by creating these product review videos and placing them all over YouTube.

In this particular video, the video's creator is simply going over all of the iPad's features and letting people know all of the pros and cons about the product. He gives a very detailed review, and you can really tell that he did his research and is knowledgeable about the things he is talking about. This is a really good video, but essentially anyone could make a video like this. Obviously, this person is making good money with all of these reviews and an affiliate link to a high-ticket item such as this.

Another thing to take note of is that this individual has a ton of subscribers. In total he has 1,445,000. If you were to take a moment to look at his channel, you would see that he is putting videos up on a regular basis. You'd also see that he has been at this for a while. His channel is about six years old, and his channel has a total of 119,408,785. So, he is really cleaning up on YouTube. If you start today, you could eventually work your way up to where he is at or maybe even become more successful.

Shoot a "Hollywood-Style" Book Trailer to Promote Your Kindle eBooks

As a published Amazon Kindle author, one of the best ways to drive traffic to your Kindle book is by creating a video trailer and then posting it on YouTube. You can get tons of free traffic as well as cheap traffic through YouTube's sponsored ads to promote your book. There are a number of different ways that you can go about this. For instance, you can video tape an interview about your book. In the same way that CNN or the New York Times would interview you about your book, you could have a friend or a relative interview you.

Another thing that you could do is read out the first chapter of you book as sort of a book teaser, or you could just provide people with a quick summary of what's in your book as a way to kind of wet people's appetites. Now, let's say that your voice isn't exactly presentable. Maybe you have a scratchy voice, or maybe you just don't like the way it sounds recorded. You could always write out your script and hire someone from Fiverr to prepare the voice-over for you.

You could also whip out your video camera and stage a scene from your book. If the scene is basic enough, you could do this fairly quickly. Remember, the point is for you to draw interest and get people to pick up your book before anyone else's. On the other hand, you could use Animoto.com to create a quick 30-second video about your book. In any case, you want to make sure that your product looks well-done. You don't want it to look cheesy or anything like that. You want it to look sleek, professional, and well-done.

You may also try to create a compilation about what people are saying about your book. Perhaps you could use written reviews about your book that you find on Amazon. All you have to do is rewrite them so that they are not verbatim. After that, it's just a matter of making a video out of that script. You can use outsourcers for this as well.

One great source that you can use for creating videos for your book is Animoto.com. You could use this service for free. If you were to look at the pricing on the site, you would see that there is no charge for the first 30 seconds of web-quality videos. They even have a music library with 300+ different tacks. Animoto is very easy to use. It's quick and it doesn't require you to be a genius to use it. It's very user-friendly. So, definitely take the time to check this out.

Another thing that you might consider is creating book trailers on Fiverr. In the screenshot above, you can see the page of a worker who is willing to do "Hollywood Style" book trailers for just $5. He actually does pretty well. His trailers look like a preview for a movie. It's really amazing what some of these outsourcers can do for just $5. Take some time to check it out for yourself. This person's work is pretty amazing, and the videos that he does are going to make people want to click on the link provided to learn more.

If you take advantage of this, one key factor to remember is that your video should be under a minute long. In fact, the optimal link for something like this is 30 seconds to one minute. Also, when you are doing this, you should also include the name of your book in the video title, and you should include your main keywords in this title. That's how people are going to find you and how YouTube is going to serve up your video.
