Review Videos And Their Importance

Review Videos And Their Importance

Review Videos - If you’re promoting a product for someone to buy something, review videos are amazing. Like I touched on before, people on YouTube aren’t normally in buying mode. They’re searching through videos looking for laughs, information or just to cure boredom. So this is why you need to make sure the page that they land on when they click your sponsored link looks professional, to convert them into a buy. But people watching review videos are normally more enticed into buying there and then, there looking at reviews of something to maybe go on and buy it.

So if your selling iPhones on your website, or maybe promoting a new Internet marketing course, these are likely to have video reviews on YouTube in which you can sponsor. Again, remember the principles. Find a video of a review by a Joe Bloggs (a normal guy or girl not wanting to make money from there YouTube Video) which has good content, has a good view count with regular comments and is potentially viral. Otherwise your sponsorship is really not going to be worth it. Another way you can target this is to find an expert within the niche you’re targeting. For example: If you’re selling iPhones, contact someone who reviews Apple products or technology products. If this person has great authority, collaborate with them and get them to create a video review of the iPhone including your link and a benefit such as a cheap price, free add on accessories or free delivery for example. This person will have huge authority, and a review and recommendation to buy from your site is going to be extremely powerful.

So if you’re promoting a product to buy, review videos will target people ready to convert…

Targeting Youtube Channels For Sponsorships

Targeting Youtube Channels For Sponsorships

Other than targeting videos you can also target YouTube channels. People who run these channels have huge influence on their subscribers, and these guys are in fact mini celebrities. To get a celebrity to endorse your product would cost you thousands. These people with an authority on YouTube have a similar effect to your promotion, but will cost you nowhere near the amount a celebrity endorsement would. It’s powerful believe me!

By targeting channels you’re finding people with a good following, something you probably haven’t got already. Then what you’re doing is using their success to your benefit, they’ve done all the hard work of getting their channel regular views and regular subscribers and your paying a small fee or an incentive (as mentioned in the negotiating section) to promote to their audience. This works extremely well with people whom vlog, and have a following from this. They can easily persuade their subscribers to do something. I’ll talk about it more in the coming weeks on the site but to benefit from targeting channels you’d ask them to make a new video reviewing what you’re promoting. Believe me when I say they have great effect over there subscribers…  If they have thousands of subscribers, every time they upload a new video these subscribers get notified. So your likely to get a massive rise in traffic for day 1 of the video release, and as the video stays live you’ll get a steady amount of targeted visitors to your promotion.

It doesn’t have to be just people whom vlog within your specific niche market, it can be musicians for example. Think about Justin Bieber, a guy who started on YouTube. Imagine you got in early and got him to recommend your promoted product or add your link to one of his videos. You’d be absolutely killing it now. Try find yourself a Bieber! You can do that by putting a lot of time and effort into searching for the correct videos and channels. These musicians are going to be talked about its what’s going to make them successful, so Facebook and Twitter are great places to find these channels or people to promote your products or services.

Sponsoring Videos vs Channels

Both options offer something different. I personally prefer targeting channels and getting these people with huge authority to create a video recommending my product. Yes, it takes a little more effort when it comes to negotiating and offering an incentive, but they convert so much better. I’ve used this to promote specific products, to promote a FREE eBook with an opt in page where I’d gather the emails of their subscribers and I’ve used it to just drive traffic and credibility to a business. When someone with a following actually recommends your product or service within a video these subscribers come knocking…

Targeting Videos For Sponsorships

Targeting Videos For Sponsorships

As I’ve mentioned with video sponsoring you can either target specific videos, or YouTube channels. Both hold different benefits, finding a video which is already performing and getting your link added is a powerful technique, but sometimes sponsoring channels and getting a YouTube authority to recommend your promotion in a video converts better. Today we’re going to discuss how to target specific videos which are already performing for potential sponsorships.

This part is crucial. Finding the right videos is going to depend on how well the sponsorship goes, it decides if you’re going to make good money or none at all.

Targeting YouTube Videos

There are billions of videos and channels on YouTube, so filtering out all of the junk videos, which aren’t going to be good for the sponsorship, is going to be hard if you don’t do it right. YouTube is the second biggest search engine online, and searching for videos and filtering these is key. You can also use other search features on Facebook or Twitter, and Google itself to find potential videos and channels to sponsor also. It’s all about collecting a quality list of keywords related to your market and using the search tools on these sites to their full potential. Within the Video Sponsoring course I will cover in depth a variety of ways to find potential sponsorships.

To start with there are some key elements you need to remember when selecting what videos to contact about the sponsorship. Remember this is taking into consideration that we’re looking to just place a link on an existing video that has already been published. I’m not talking about targeting channels just yet, this is all about finding a video which has already been published to sponsor.

1)    The video isn’t run by co-operation or someone already trying to make money from it. They’re likely to reject your offer. If they’re already promoting their own products from this specific video, there not going to replace their link with yours unless a good offer is put on the table.

2)    The video already has a good number of hits and regular comments. The Video Sponsoring course will show you how to track how many hits the video gets daily. There are other tools out there which cost, but its just all about being organized and tracking the videos results before approaching the publisher about a sponsorship.

3)   The video has good content and is related to what you’re promoting. Remember this is KEY. Related videos, which include a link to a related product, which will benefit the audience, is going to convert better than an unrelated video, promoting an offer, which doesn’t interest the audience.

4)    Viral Potential. What I mean by this is people are going to talk about it, there going to share it on Facebook, Twitter, Their blogs etc. Focus on the content of the video and think to yourself, “would I recommend this video?”

These are four basic elements you need to consider. This is a great start, there are some more secrets that will produce better results with video sponsoring but this will get the ball rolling. Things like finding the correct keywords to search for, live examples of what videos to target and data on what sort of videos produced better results will all of course be highlighted within the Video Sponsoring course.

In the next few days i’ll discuss ways to target YouTube channels for potential sponsorships so stay tuned!

An Example Of Video Sponsoring

An Example Of Video Sponsoring

Here’s a real life case study: A personal example of targeting a YouTube channel to sponsor my products was one of my first sponsorships. I targeted a guy called Aaron Marino who was a real leading authority within the men’s fashion and style niche on YouTube. He had thousands and thousands of subscribers and his videos had some great activity. I negotiated a sponsorship and sent him two products I was selling, which cost me around $17. A month later he produced a video related to men’s accessories, promoting my website and my products. The video to date has over 65,000 views. It generated me a lot of sales and a great rise in traffic. It generated me customers, and two years on it’s still performing. People are still watching, commenting and rating the video. A lot of people are still clicking through to my website and buying products I’m selling. This one video and this one sponsorship has generated me a great deal of customers and made me thousands in profit.

Here’s the power of the strategy… This was 1 sponsorship on one video. How many channels and how many videos are on YouTube? You don’t need me to do the math, imagine you set up 5 of these sponsorships, 10, 20, even 100?! That’s a great amount of potential income all on autopilot. You set the sponsorships up and the video and sponsorship will be available on the Internet for years and years to come. As views continue to increase on the video, so will the amount of people that click through and purchase your products. This right here is just one example of how to use this sponsorship technique, the potential is incredible.


This graph basically shows the rise in traffic for this sponsorship. My site was getting around 10-20 visitors a day before this sponsorship with Aaron occured. Yes, my site got hit with over 700 visitors in one day and that traffic started to spiral down, but the visitors to my site from this one video is still regular two years down the line. This traffic was extremely targeted, it came from an authority within the niche market I was targeting and I received a lot of conversions from this spike in traffic. Referrals from this video still happen today, and sales from this video still occur.

Remember this here is just one example from one video sponsorship. It gained me a huge amount of customers and still makes me income two years on. Replicating this with a few videos and collaborating with a few channels with sponsorships is extremely powerful…

What Is Video Sponsoring?

What Is Video Sponsoring?

It’s probably the question you’re thinking right now. Video sponsoring is an extremely powerful technique to drive traffic and targetted buyers to your website, business or affiliate product/CPA offer. It’s a simple technique in theory, but the finer details are what will make or break this technique. After reading today’s post video sponsoring is something any of you can go off and start using for your online websites or businesses, but without following some of the finer details you’ll probably not use the strategy to full effect.

This is a technique i’ve been using for over two years now and i’ve basically done all of the trial and error for you. I’ve took a simple strategy and made it the driving force behind my website promotion.

“I’ve spent money on sponsorships which haven’t gained me many conversions, and i’ve also spent a lot of time leveraging this strategy.“

With over two years of testing this strategy to the max, i’m going to be sharing with you the ins and outs of video sponsoring and how you can use it to get traffic and to increase sales.

“In a nutshell, video sponsoring is all about targetting Youtube channels and videos and getting highly rated, popular videos or channels to add a link to your website/product. It’s as simple as that.”

But throughout the Video Sponsoring course and throughout this website you’ll start to gain an insight into what will work best for your promotion. For example, a link added to an unrelated video won’t convert as well as a link added to a related video. Channels run by regular guys/girls with huge authority on people are great to target if you’ve got a product your selling, but a simple link within one of there videos/channel won’t work as well as them creating a unique video recommending and linking to your product. How should you use the video sponsoring course to promote an affiliate offer? How should you use the video sponsoring course to increase sales over at your e-commerce store? These are the questions and finer details which will be answered within the course and throughout this website in the coming weeks…
