For beginners, the most urgent desire is to see results quickly! Ideally, they upload a few videos in the morning and see sales and commissions by the evening. Seeing numbers like this:
It is actually possible! I’ve been in this situation many times. (But it should be noted that this isn’t a typical outcome, and luck may play a role.)
In my ✅ **YouTube Affiliate Marketing Course**, I introduce this method. Using YouTube videos to promote products from Amazon or Clickbank is a fast way to monetize. Unlike YouTube’s official ad revenue sharing program, which requires a long waiting period and much more traffic to generate substantial income, promoting products as an affiliate can earn you commissions of tens of dollars even with just a few hundred or thousand views.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! The worst thing is not trying at all!
Even if you think your video is “garbage,” so what? Once you upload it, regardless of how good or bad you think it is, some people will like it and others will dislike it. Furthermore, quality is subjective. You might think it’s not well-made, but if viewers find it useful, that’s what matters. Guide them to the merchant’s page, and your job is done.
Some people cherish their YouTube channels too much, fearing violations of the Terms of Service (TOS) or getting their account banned. What is there to fear? Registering a YouTube account only takes a few minutes. The real requirement is a phone number. Nowadays, there are dedicated SMS verification platforms where you can register dozens of accounts without any problem.
Some find it hard to get their channel monetized, but if you’re willing, you can instantly buy an account that’s already monetized. (Of course, I don’t recommend this; I’m just telling you it’s possible.) Even if you cross the line slightly and your account gets banned, just start another channel. If you’re using YouTube for Affiliate Marketing, don’t take your account too seriously.
To help you get started quickly and earn commissions to build confidence, I’ll list a few simple and effective methods, mainly focusing on video production techniques. Many people get stuck at this stage because uploading videos isn’t difficult, and initial video promotion can start with simple methods.
Methods for Creating Amazon Product Introduction Videos
There are countless products on Amazon, but I advise against choosing overly popular products like iPhones or hot digital gadgets. Keywords for popular products are highly competitive, making it hard for a new channel or video to rank high. Instead, opt for more niche products like lawnmowers, ceiling fan lights, or even mattresses. These have fewer competing videos, making it easier to get exposure.
Choose a product on Amazon, select some of the main images or pictures from the description, and download them to your computer (if they are irregularly large images, you can simply use the built-in Windows screenshot tool to capture them).
Nowadays, many products have introductory videos. For example, this robotic vacuum cleaner has a play button, indicating that there is an introductory video. Let’s download it. The method is as follows: Right-click to view the webpage source code, search for “mp4” to find the complete address of the video. You will find dozens of URLs containing “mp4” in the source code. Copy the video URL, open it in the browser, right-click on the video, and save it to your computer.
The production materials are now ready. We can use CapCut to combine these images and videos. Simple introductory text, such as summaries of the product’s key features, can be added over the images.
We can also extract phrases from user reviews to use as video narration or text captions. The video can be simply paired with background music or supplemented with voiceover narration. This allows for quick creation of a product introduction video. When uploading, the video title must include the full product name or relevant keywords. As long as it is for promoting this product, this approach does not violate Amazon’s policies.
Methods for Creating Videos from Affiliate Sales Pages, Landing Pages, etc.
Many manufacturers’ sales pages are text-based. By extracting key points from them, such as introductions, product features, and benefits, and using images from the page or downloading related images online, a product introduction video can be created in just over ten minutes using editing software. Uploading it to YouTube or social media accounts for promotion may generate revenue within a few hours.
Additionally, merchants’ affiliate resource pages can be utilized. For example, this resource page for relationship-related products on CB provides very detailed and diverse copywriting, email templates, as well as ready-made articles and videos. All of these can be leveraged, as the materials themselves are carefully crafted by merchants to resonate with consumers. By using AI for processing or editing, engaging and compelling videos can be created.
Make a similar video
You can even promote products in less commonly taught languages.
For example, platforms like Adcombo and Markethealth primarily focus on nutritional products, offering dozens of country and language-specific offers, including UG, RS, PR, TR, ES, MX (country codes), and more. These platforms provide ready-made Landing Pages and Sales Pages. As affiliate marketers, our advantage lies in being able to promote products to internet users worldwide without leaving our home country. This is what truly defines the global nature of the internet.
I turned one of the Italian offers into a video (even though I don’t understand Italian at all, I used Google Translate to get the general idea). It didn’t take much time—both the text and images were extracted from the original content. Surprisingly, within just a few days, the traffic skyrocketed, and each sale brought in dozens of dollars in commission. There was one breast enhancement product for which I simply created a slideshow-style video with before-and-after comparison images. The video was less than a minute long, but it unexpectedly generated decent traffic and brought in quite a few sales and commissions. One of the product promotion videos even exceeded one million views.
Do you know what language this is?
