Use YouTube to drive massive traffic to your web site

One of the hottest ways to generate website traffic is to use video sharing sites like YouTube to generate mindshare - and traffic - to your site. YouTube is a video sharing service that gets huge traffic, and you can get your video seen by a huge number of people, especially if you provide useful content such as training videos or other edutainment.

A particularly effective method is to create simple, short 'how-to' video that refer people to your website. It 'easy to create screencast videos using products like Camtasia. If you have any experience with any software application, you can easily exploit it by creating a series of Camtasia videos that offer a guide for how-to do something - for example, you can create a series of how-to videos for Photoshop or Dreamweaver, or any other application software that you use regularly in your business.

Another possibility would be to create a series of website reviews. Just turn on Camtasia, go to your favorite site, and create a 'virtual tour' of that site. You'd be surprised how many people will be happy to sit down with a five-minute video presentation of a website. Once you have created your video, use a video editing tool to add a watermark to the bottom with the URL of the website. Also, be sure to include your website URL from YouTube into your posts.

This technique can also be used effectively for affiliate products directly to market. Simply create a domain name for your affiliate product, create a redirect from that domain to your affiliate links, and lists the domain in the bottom of the video. If you're selling a software product, this great work if the content of the video is a training or informational video of the product. Remember to use the video in your marketing campaigns and you'll be pleasantly surprised by the power and effectiveness of using multimedia to reach your target audience ....
