This is a guide I thought I would write after thinking a little while about all of the blackhat video marketing techniques that are out there. If you haven't already heard of these methods, then for a short explanation: You download videos, watermark them with the url of your site, re-upload them to youtube and other video sites. None of that is realy too blackhat though, and this method isn't very black hat either. In fact, this method is totally whitehat, until the end when you'll have the opportunity to choose between blackhat and whitehat traffic. This isn't a new method, this is just an under saturated area for marketers to use right now.
1. Write a how-to article and post it on your blog. (You could just make a video from scratch and put that on your blog but that's not very smart)
For example; How to fix your xbox, how to neuter your dog, how to cheat on your wife and get away with it, or etc...
Then you'll want to add a bunch of adsense and affiliate links to your blog, or just use a landing page. The more visitors you get from your video, the more money you'll make in theory.
2. Tape yourself or your computer as you do the task that you are trying to teach people about. If I were to make a video for this article I would just show my screen as I viewed the article.. boring, but it works.
To video tape your screen you could use hypercam, camtasia, camstudio, fraps, or etc
3. Once your done instructing people to do stuff in your video, open it up in a video editor like Windows Movie Maker. Of course if you have a mac you'll have to use something else, and there are almost hundreds of options out there.
4. Now that you have the program open in your video editor you can narrate the video if you haven't already. What I would do is read the article I wrote to correspond to what you're doing int he video. You can add annotations and links in your description on youtube, and other video sites.
5. Add the url of your website as a subtitle on your video. This way people will know where the video came from no matter how it is shared. You can include direct links to your website or blog post in the description of your video also.
6. Now is when you decide whether or not to promote your videos with blackhat methods. Depending on the quality of your videos, blackhat might be the only way to get a good view count.
This is an easy way to get lot's of visitors to your site or affiliate landing page with just a little bit of work. If you keep at it you could be getting thousands of visitors to your site each day without any problems. - 16651
