Affiliate Marketing Tips - How to Drive Massive Traffic From Videos

Do you know that one of the most effective forms of traffic generation strategies to your websites and offer pages is through the use of videos? There are lots of video sharing websites on the Internet you can upload your videos to for free.

Many people think that they need sophisticated equipment to produce a video. However, the fact is that, there's no need for you to have other equipment, other than a video camera, to produce your own video and upload them onto the various video sharing websites.

If you do not have a video camera, you can either make use of your computer's webcam, your camera's video recording function, or your cell phone's video camera function to record your own video.

Otherwise, if you do not wish to do the video recording yourself, you could always ask others to do it for you for a small fee.

Here are some tips that you can follow that will help you drive torrents of traffic to your websites and offer pages with the use of videos:

1. Distribute Your Videos Widely

In order for you to be able to drive massive amounts of traffic to your websites and offer pages from your videos, you need to upload your videos to as many of these video sharing websites as possible (they're all free to sign up and free to share as many videos as you like).

The more video sharing websites you upload your videos to, the more findable your videos will be, and the more traffic you'll be able to drive to your websites and offer pages.

2. Cross-Link Between Video Sharing Websites

This simply means that you link the various video sharing websites (which you have videos uploaded in) together, and piggy-back traffic from one video sharing website to another.

Let me explain this with an example - if you received lots of traffic to your YouTube videos, but you only have very few people watching your videos in MySpace, you could get the people who watch your YouTube videos to your MySpace videos through a simple link in your YouTube video - you could have a link to your MySpace video in your video description.

You may be wondering what's the reason for you doing this - driving traffic from one video sharing site to another, when both video sharing websites have the same video. The reason is because, you can get your viewers to videos when they are there to boost its popularly. The more votes your videos have, the higher it will be ranked on these video sites and the more visible these videos you be, and this will allow you to drive even more traffic to your websites and offer pages.

Here's another idea, you could also submit your videos to the various social bookmarking websites like Digg, Propeller, Del.icio.us, etc.

3. Add Incentive

You can add incentives to your videos to get more traffic to your websites and offer pages - such as a free report, email course series or video tutorials as a "bait".

People love freebies, and by doing so, you'll be able to drive more traffic to your websites and offer pages. This is a highly effective and powerful tactic, yet very few people are using.

These 3 tips will help you drive massive traffic to your websites and offer pages with creating videos and uploading them to the various video sharing websites.
