There's More Than One Way to Make Money On YouTube

So you all know that if you are receiving heavy amounts of views on your YouTube videos you can monetize them and receive revenue from Google AdSense. But this is not the only way to make money on YouTube. Here's an interesting way that you can make money using YouTube and you do not have to get hundreds of thousands of views to see results.

Firstly, think of a problem or task that might seem fairly complicated to a lot of people but you know how to solve it. It could be anything: creating a website, putting something together, you name it. Then create a teaser video, maybe showing evidence of this particular thing completed or solved and just let them know near the end that you are offering to show them how to do it.

The Reasons Why The Demand And Supply Of Digital Products Is Increasing

The digital product market is vastly growing. More and more people are purchasing eBooks and other informational products online. As well as people purchasing more of these products, the general range of digital products is increasing due to more writers deciding to sell their own. Why is it that this is happening?

Consumers: More people have started purchasing digital products for different reasons. Sometimes people want to do something their selves and are looking for a guide that can help them quickly. eBooks are purchased online and can be received very rapidly. Books that are published and sold in stores usually don't give the same quality of information that digital products can. Looking at it from a different point of view, people may have embarrassing problems that they don't want to either go to the doctors about or be seen buying a book in a store for.

Authors: Obviously as the demand for these digital eBooks is increasing, more and more people are starting to write them. Not only that but it constantly getting easier and easier to be able to write them. so what are you waiting for? Why not write your own?

Writing your own detailed eBook can have extreme benefits to your income and online presence. Go for it! To start, do a little research on the niche your going to choose and think about what you can offer to other people and whether they would want to buy your useful information.

Aweber Or MailChimp For Email Marketing?

If you use email marketing, you will have definitely heard of Aweber and MailChimp. But which is the best to use?

Design Forms: In terms of the forms you can use, MailChimp is a lot better if you are someone who is good at designing. Your are aloud to design your forms entirely from scratch, however they do have templates to be able to create a professional looking form. If you use Aweber, you will be encouraged to use one of their templates and customisation may require some level of skill to be able to avoid this.

Email Tracking: When it comes to tracking, Aweber is the far better option. Everything you would want to know is shown to you. You are able to see exactly who of your subscribers has opened your emails and which links they have clicked on. MailChimp however, only uses a very basic system, based on stars. Stars are shown next to each of your subscribers to vaguely show how interested they are by your emails.

Pricing: The good thing about Mailchimp is that they offer a free trial period for up to 500 subscribers. Aweber is on the whole, more expensive than MailChimp.

I haven't mentioned the support quality or the best auto responder. Aweber, without a doubt, has the best support. As for the auto responder, it is a tough call, as both companies offer great auto responders.

Overall I would have to say that Aweber is the best option available. Almost everything is of a higher quality. If you do not have a lot of money to start up with then maybe MailChimp is the best option for you, however if price isn't a problem I definitely recommend Aweber.

Something Worth Checking Out...

Last night I was thinking about a product I had purchased from a guy called Tony Perr a few months ago.

The author, Tony Perr, was determined not to get sucked into the daily 9-5 work routine. Unfortunately, he was sucked into it for 13 years. After having a boring job for 13 years, he'd had enough and decided to go back and try internet marketing again.

Affiliate Marketing With Clickbank

Clickbank, for those of you who don't know, is a website where individuals can advertise there digital products to affiliate marketers. They then choose from all the products listed on Clickbank, which ones they want to promote. Clickbank is very good at paying their affiliates on time, they offer helpful resources such as data, showing visits from hoplinks, orders, refunds, totals etc. hoplinks are your own links that you use to promote the product, and for every click on the promoters sales page that you provide, Clickbank is able to identify this click coming from you, making sure you get the money from any sales.

From the Vendors point of view:
This is a great way for advertisers to send traffic to their sales pages and get sales. If you don't get any sales from people promoting your product you don't have to pay anything. Any sales you do get, you will pay the affiliate a commission which you have chosen, usually around 50-75%. This may seem like a huge amount at first and you might not be prepared to sacrifice that amount, but really you are the winner here as you are receiving money for doing no work. The only slight problem at first is that before you place your product on the Clickbank marketplace, you may have to do a little work creating resources such as banners, emails, articles, that you are able to give affiliates to help you get the best results.

From the affiliates point of view:
Clickbank has payed out over 2 billion dollars to affiliates. It is an excellent affiliate system and can really bring home a good amount of money, as long as you put some effort in. How do you know which products to promote though? when choosing, look at products that have a gravity of between 10 and 100. Gravity is how many people are at that moment promoting the product and generating sales. Below 10 and the product may not be great quality or may be coming to the end of its life cycle. Above 100 and it might already be being well marketed, making the competition level very high. The commissions you receive are the highest compared to most well known affiliate systems, around 50-75% per sale.

Overall Clickbank is a great way of earning big money, for affiliates and vendors. However, don't expect to get something for nothing. Put the effort in where needed, otherwise you might be disappointed. Promote relevant products compared to your content your using to advertise them. If you have a website on making money online, look at the E-business and marketing section. If your writing an article on  photography, promote products from the photography section in the signature.

Hope this information was of some use to you,

Traffic From Ezine Articles

 Article marketing is a great way to get traffic to your website. Ezine articles is one of the best sites to submit articles to for good amounts of traffic.

To start, have a look at other peoples articles on different sites in your niche to see what they have written. Do not copy any of their article in any way though, as this is a surefire way to get your article disapproved and your account suspended.

Have a look at what they have written and create your own. Articles rank well in Google if they have between 500-750 words and a keyword density of around 4% . Keyword density is the percentage of times a certain keyword appears compared to the amount of words in the article.
