What Do I Recommend?

Yesterday saw the launches of two interestingly diverse products for the online marketer. One is designed for marketers who want to earn money selling Amazon products as an affiliate or a product seller. The other is designed for anyone who wants to create white board videos.

TTS Sketch Maker is a video creation tool that allows you to create white board sketch videos. I had an early version of the software that I used to create the following video:

As you can hear from the voice, TTS Sketch Maker gives you powerful text to speech capabilities. This is useful when you want to make videos for affiliate products. I like the fact that I can make a video from concept to finished product in a few minutes instead of hours (waiting for a voiceover artist to get back to me).

I purposely did not promote this yesterday, because it does have a couple of drawbacks (minor ones). First, I have gotten used to Explaindio. If Explaindio has TTS capabilities, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. But even if I would use Explaindio over TTS Sketch, I can see scenarios where I would create my soundtrack with TTS and then import it into Explaindio. But I digress. That is one of the problems with owning too many software products (is it really a problem?).

TTS is still very useful and it does what it says it is going to do. Jimmy Mancini really supports his products, so if you buy this and find a bug, just open a support ticket and he will update the software. Simple as that.

If you need sketch videos with voice, grab TTS Sketch Maker while the price is still low:

Amazon Affiliates and Sellers…

What if I could show you a suite of tools that allows you to research niches, create lists of keywords, create lists of products to promote and find reviews to use for your promotions? And what if I told you that when you purchased that suite of tools, you would have access to training for affiliates and training for sellers?

Amasuite 4 is the culmination of the programming expertise of Dave Guindon and the Amazon Affiliate and Seller expertise of Chris Guthrie. It is a suite of 4 software tools that dig deep into the depths of the Amazon product database to bring you the tools you need to uncover the products you should be promoting to earn the biggest bang for your promotional buck. One tool allows you to find the buying keywords that you should be targeting in your promotions. Another tool helps you find the top 100 products in any category. Another tool lets you dig into more products and analyze them every which way until you have the listing of exactly which products you want to promote. The last tool will help you find reviews for each product that you can use to target exactly the right customer for your promotions. Together, you can use these tools to create blog promotions that will make your affiliate commissions soar. And if you want to sell physical products on Amazon, you can use these tools to analyze the competition and make your product better by addressing the concerns of the people who complained about the product.

The training is focused on either affiliate marketing or product selling, depending on your preference. So if you are already an affiliate and want to dive into selling physical products, then you can go through the training and start selling! That is what I am doing. (I actually bought this product and ALL the upsells because I want to take my affiliate marketing to new heights and diversify into physical products).

Now, this is not cheap. The software suite can help you double your current affiliate earnings (I was using version 3 and it more than doubled my sales over the last year – and that was without the training). If you take advantage of the training as well, you are looking to take that up a few more notches. Take a look at it here:

Watch the video. Dave is great at revealing how he uses these programs as he demonstrates them. I learned a few tricks as he was doing the demos. The cool part is that you can actually pick up some affiliate marketing tips just by watching the video (even if you never purchase the software).

My Recommendation?

I recommend Amasuite 4 over TTS Sketch Maker if you are serious about affiliate marketing or plan on taking your business into physical product sales on Amazon. The training and software gives you everything you need to succeed (short of doing the work for you). You can always get video software later to create videos to sell your products.

In fact, I am using Article Video Robot to create review videos for the products I am targeting. They have a really powerful tool that allows you to paste the link to an Amazon review and it creates a video from that review. I created two yesterday while watching hockey. If you don’t want to spend a bunch of money on an AVR account, then TTS Sketch Maker is a much less expensive alternative.

Here are the links to each of these programs if you decide to grab them:

Blogging With Micheal 12-2-14

Making money with Amazon is not hard, but it is something you have to put some effort into. A lot of people start an Amazon site and give up when they don’t see any sales after the first month. The people who make $10,000 their first month are the exception rather than the rule. Making money with Amazon requires research, setup, planning and consistency.

In this episode, Micheal discusses how he has gone from making nothing to making a regular income from his Amazon blogs.

Commercials from YouTube

As discussed in the episode, you can find trending personalities and post their commercials on your blog along with the product that they are promoting. In this case, any Nike product would qualify.

The goal is to take advantage of what people are talking about and looking for when a topic is trending. Having videos on your blog helps keep people on your site longer and more likely to buy from you. It also reduces your “bounce rate” – how many people leave your site after less than 10 seconds – because more people are watching videos and keeping people on your site longer.

Making Redirects For Your YouTube Videos

Micheal also talks about creating links to place in your videos on YouTube so that if people embed your niche videos, you can still make sales of the product you are promoting.

In the amazon associates dashboard, search for the product, the click on the down arrow on the get link button.

You will see a little box open up like the one below.

Click on the “Shorten URL with anzm.to?” link to turn your link into a self contained tiny URL.

As you can see, the link does not show the code, but your associate ID is embedded in the link.

To use it in your videos, you need to first have set up your YouTube channel to accept associated websites (previous episode of Blogging With Micheal). If you are using a blog on your domain, I recommend installing Better Links (I use the pro version, but the basic is free and still very powerful). Once Better Links is installed on your blog, you go to Add New in the Better Links menu.

Just paste your Amazon shortened URL (you can use the long URL, but the shortened one is less prone to copying and pasting errors) in the destination URL field. The name will auto-populate on Amazon links.

Just type in a keyword rich name in the slug section and click the save button and you will have a link that looks like this:

http://buyfromazon.com/airtex-1m1027-solenoid

Then you make an annotation on your YouTube video with that link to the product and your video is set to get you sales of the product.
