All of us working online are here for one and one reason only. To make money.

Now, some of us try and do that by promoting products and services as affiliates, others do so by selling their own products and services. There are others who try and make money from programs like adsense and CPA networks.

No matter which approach you follow, there is no denying the fact without traffic, there is no monetization.

Now to get traffic to your site, you can either pay for it, or you can get it for free. Now even though people think that organic SEO results are free, in reality they are not, as most people don’t take into account the time that they have spent on in getting their site ranked. Time is money.

With the proliferation of broadband a lot of people are moving towards videos. Youtube for example serves up 2 million videos each day. Now imagine if you could get just 1% of those people to watch your video…You’d make a killing!

While the majority of videos are posted by amateurs looking for laughs, notoriety, and 15 minutes of internet fame, a savvy internet marketer will find that this service can be used to drive traffic to websites, get sales messages to potential buyers, and to market products and services.

Also, this traffic is free. Online video sites pay for all of the bandwidth for the videos, and most sites host the videos as long as you want to keep them up. So once you’ve covered the initial cost of making the video, your investment may pay off for months or even years without additional fees! (Unlike banner ads which always require more money to keep the ad running).

It’s almost like getting to run your commercial for free on the top TV channels!

In fact, as videos get more views, they tend to increase in popularity due to the ranking systems of video sites which tend to favor videos with high view counts in their rankings. Due to the ‘newness’ of this advertising medium, you can gain a sizeable advantage before this method of promotion becomes competitive.

The bar for promotion with online video is currently set very, very low, and the competition is not fierce like it is in SEO.

While having a well ranked video on YouTube is certainly not the equivalent of having a top ranking page for your best keyword in Google, it is comparatively easier to accomplish, and may yield fantastic results immediately, as well as down the road.

It is easy to get many people to view your videos on almost any keyword you choose and it is possible to get a top 10 ranked video in YouTube’s search results with little effort (even with lousy videos). And despite the huge success and growth of online video in the last year due to Google’s much publicized acquisition of YouTube, there is still plenty of growth coming.

We hope this introduction has perked your interest in video as a marketing medium. In the next lesson. We’ll teach you how you can get your video to become popular as well as ranked well.

The answer is yes, and many thousands of people do it every day of the week.
The opportunity to start an online business is as good as it ever was, and as the economic climate gets worse, more and more people are turning to the Internet looking for ways to make a living.

Some people only put in a part-time effort, while others make their entire living working from home on the Internet. The majority of people who use the Web, however, never look any further than the surface. The truth is that underneath all those pretty Web pages and nifty YouTube videos are layers and layers of industrious people who are earning a significant amount of money online.

If you have been laid off, or you are just plain disgusted at your unsuccessful attempts at finding a new job, it may be time to start seriously considering putting your efforts into joining those who have already found a path to quitting the dreaded J-O-B. For many people, the traditional paths to making a living are over unless they want to settle for making minimum wage flipping burgers out a drive-by window: There is something really sad about making a career somewhere where you have to wear a smock and a name tag, or sending out hundreds of resumes no one bothers to read. You can start your new life today by learning how to start your own independent business online and live the dream of being your own boss.

Although there are now countless millions of websites online, the Internet will never get saturated, as every day new people are coming online looking to start a business just like you. If your business is up-and-running, then you have every chance of attracting those people to become your new customers.

Before you can start finding customers, however, you must first get started and find an opportunity to join, and you will quickly find that here are hundreds of different   business opportunities to choose from.

First of all, beware of those programs that promise you will make thousands of dollars in your first week; more than likely they are scams. Secondly, ever expect instant success. It takes time and patience to build a business, and for that business to start to generating your expected income. This means that if you are already in a full or part time job, do not give it up entirely until your online earnings can consistently replace the income you need to pay your bills.

Your business choices online are vast; just decide what really interests you, and put your full efforts into becoming successful at it. To learn how to build a successful online business, check out the new internet marketing course.

Ebooks: E-books can be written using Microsoft Word or the free version of word using Open Office. You simply create a new document and begin typing. Look at this e-book for an example of the format/ header page, etc. Ebooks can be anywhere from 2 pages to a couple hundred pages. After finishing your document you simply “Save As” – “Adobe PDF”… Voila! That is an e-book!

Interviews (easiest way): By interviewing an expert in your market/ niche/ or industry, you automatically get street credibility. You simply contact the expert and request to feature him in your upcoming information product launch. You request a quick 30 minute interview and use a phone recording service to record the interview. The basic flow of the interview questions will be asking questions pertaining to what they did in order to be where they are at now…

Teleseminars: Holding teleseminars or webinars are also one of the easiest ways to create an information product. You simply set up a teleseminar or webinar by using GoToMeeting and invite people to join it. Remember to record the webinar or teleseminar so that you can package the information into your product. GoToMeeting allows you to record these and once the presentation is complete you automatically have the video or audio files on your computer. This a great way to create the product while actually helping other people out at the same time who are on the teleseminar.

According to this article in USA today, YouTube has 5.5 billion streams and 58.1% of the online video market:  http://tinyurl.com/WhyYouTubeMatters

That means that if you use video in your marketing, you definitely want your videos on YouTube. Having your videos on YouTube, when properly submitted, often gets you top positions for your keywords.

Like many marketers, I submit to a variety of video  sharing sites. Yet, just as with search engines, only a handful get the vast majority of traffic.

As an Internet marketer, we’ve been conditioned to focus on quantity. That is, submitting to as many sites as  practical. However, that may not be the best approach.

Flashing back a few years, there were many search engine submission services that offered to submit your url to  over 1000 of the top search engines. The reality was that there were fewer than 10 search engines that mattered, and submitting to many of the other low quality places could actually HURT your ranking in Google (or the top  search engines at the time).
