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:
I have to say, it's not often you see software THIS good!
Audello is a groundbreaking new software that enables you to cash in on the power of podcasting to build big mailing lists and a huge following of fans who are eager to buy!
Until now, creating your own podcast meant spending time figuring out what type of content to create, how to record your podcast, what combination of software to use, how to upload it to the web, and so on...
... and that's all before you've even thought about how to get listeners.
Well, Audello SOLVES all of this!
Not only does Audello make it possible to create, edit and easily upload audio content to multiple distribution networks at the same time... but it also connects you with millions of listeners who are looking to buy your products and services!
This is not the same old tired, rehashed opportunity. This is something VERY special.
I have been podcasting for over 6 years now and I love it. I wish I would have had my hands on this software a lot sooner than now. But now that it is here, I can take advantage of it and take my podcasts to new heights!
As a bonus, I will give you one year of Podcast consultation (one hour per week for a year). I have a lot of experience with Podcasting and can help you with some of the day to day questions you may have for finding guests and having a good podcast. Of course, you have to purchase using my link to qualify:
Join me as I show you what I do (and have done for the last 5 years) to create professional looking videos for almost any occasion without using expensive software or cameras. Imagine what you can do if you have tools like Video Maker FX or Easy Sketch Pro. I will also show you how inexpensive it is to host your own videos and not have to deal with YouTube if you don’t want to.
Disclaimer: Since I began marketing online, I have purchased and tested a great many PAID software products that I currently use to make my video creation easier. But this training will not use any of those.
I even created the presentation on a free platform!
If you arrive early, please let others know that you are here, in case someone else could use the training. You can also share this page.
http://uged.com/hand This episode is prerecorded. I have just purchased the Hand Drawn Megabundle from +Joel Comm and I am going to use them to create videos using Easy Sketch Pro, Video Maker FX and PowerPoint to show you how easy they are to use!
You and I have been around the block, so I feel that I can say this to you.
Every day I receive a load of emails about a new product that has come out.
Occasionally there are good ones, but they can be hard to sniff out.
But here's my real complaint:
I never know if something is going to work before I actually buy the product and then try it out.
Not only does that cost me money, but it also means that it costs me time.
Do you know what I mean?! And if it cost me money and time, I don’t want to waste yours. Unfortunately, usually the product has a price going up or a limited number of spots, so I have to tell you about it a little bit early… but I am very confident in this:
You may have heard of Ben Shaffer.
He has been an internet marketer for over 10 years and has sold (literally) millions of dollars of products both within internet marketing and also other strange niches.
He is one of the guys who helped me when I was still unknown… I trust him and I believe in his integrity.
He has also sold 100s of thousands of ebooks online.
..and here is the kicker...
He actually wants to partner with you!
I'm not going to explain everything here, as he will tell you himself.
However, what I will tell you, is that if you are looking to partner with someone who is a very successful marketer, whilst letting him do ALL of the work, then you must check this out:
PS. Once you follow the link below you will see what I mean. But be warned, because of the time that he is personally putting in, there are a limited number of spots. So worth taking a look while this is fresh in your mind:
I'm not really supposed to tell you about this until tomorrow but I am never one to do 'exactly' as I am told. And anyway, this is one of the most exciting projects to come across my desk in a LOOOOOONG time!
Do ever feel frustrated because you are not making as much as you want online?
Is it because:
1. Absolutely nothing seems to work for you when you actually try it?
2. You simply don't have time to spend hours learning the latest technique or strategy? I know about that having built my business while working 2 jobs.
3. Your technical skills leave much to be desired?
I know these three first hand. I used to throw mud against the wall hoping something would stick.
Some did.
Hey...we have all been there. Even Bill Gates didn't know how to use a computer at one stage ;)
Anyway, tomorrow I am going to send you an email which will change all of that.
This is not about the latest new fad, strategy or technique.
This is a total game changer and something that I myself am going to get involved in. (Pronounced income streams)…
Watch out for my email tomorrow when 'this' opens as I feel this is going to be much more popular than they think.
PS. Sorry that I am being slightly vague. I have already said more than I probably am allowed to. Open my email tomorrow and all will be revealed. I promise!

I see a lot of TeeSpring Campaigns on the NFL groups I am a member of. Not all of them actually sell anything. One of the reasons that many of them don’t sell any shirts is that TeeSpring has minimum orders and the pricing is really high on smaller orders.
Blog content used to require a lot of research and time. Even if you have already researched your keywords, getting organized and getting your story ideas together is a time consuming process. Luckily, my friend Ross Goldberg figured out a way to make content creation much easier to do quickly.
Ross created a program called Epic Content Machine to make his own life easier. He wanted a way to organize his story ideas, his key points (ideas) and his title ideas (including his swipe files). He also wanted some ways to write blog posts based on his mood - whether he felt like doing a lot of work or have the software write the content for him. With the Headline Wizard, Cheating Wizard, Content Wizard and "The Lazy Way," Epic Content Machine makes creating content a lot easier.
When you feel like doing more of the work, you use the Content Wizard, which organizes your main ideas into the paragraphs you intend to write. The Lazy Way takes you to an outsourcing site, where you can get articles written for as little as 99 cents. The Cheating Wizard takes you to a search engine where you can locate similar content that you can rewrite into your own words. Combining these tools with the Headline Wizard that gives you a lot of templates to make a great headline for your blog post! Using Content Manager to write blog posts will shorten the time it takes to post, which will make it more enjoyable to keep posting to your blog!

Selling affiliate products are a great way to make money online. I have done this on a regular basis since 2006. As the marketing methods evolved with Social Media moving the medium from email to “in your face” social media marketing, video became one of the most profitable methods for moving products.
Webinars are actually a little more profitable if you get the pitch just right and get a lot of people on the webinar, but video marketing is so much more versatile than a webinar. The thing with video is that it can be used for driving traffic, whereas a webinar requires traffic to be useful.
So let’s create a video for an affiliate product. I will show you what to do, and you can follow along at home.
First, choose the product. I have chosen a big ticket product, Easy Video Suite as my product to promote. I will be using another video tool, Video Maker FX to actually create the video I will be using to presell EVS.
When doing promos, you need to have a link that you can use for the product that will be easily typed in if someone is only listening to you. Sure, you will be putting your link on the page where the video is hosted, but you need to plan for people only hearing your URL, because you can also submit your videos as podcasts to iTunes and other podcast directories. That is part of the strategy that I learned from using Traffic Geyser and Main Street Marketing Machines way back in 2011. I use Link Dynamite as the domain for my affiliate links. The reason I want to redirect my links with my own service is also because I like to track my links. With Link Dynamite, I am getting stats on how many clicks I am getting with that URL. That way, when I have this video out there, the stats will tell me how my video is doing.
So the second step in the process is creating your link redirect. After adding my link to Link Dynamite, this is the resulting link: http://linkdynamite.com/myevs
Third step – research the product by looking at the sales page and find the problems that the product solves. You want to build a nice big juicy list of problems. The more problems and the bigger and badder they are, the better your video will do at convincing your prospects that they need to buy whatever you are offering them to get rid of the problem.
Some sales pages have only benefits listed. On those, you have to get creative and figure out the problems based on the solutions posed by the benefits. Sometimes you may have to survey your audience and see what problems they face with a particular task (the task that the product does – in this case, making videos and putting them on the Internet to make money and build lists from them). I recorded a short video to show the process.
Here is what we came up with:
Really good videos require multiple programs to create, render, convert and upload to video hosting sites. -Camtasia -Sony Vegas -Premiere Pro -Hand Brake
Making money from videos requires expensive programming to be able to sell products. -Buy buttons and calls to action -Opt In Forms -Timed Events
List building with videos requires multiple scripts and programs to make video squeeze pages. -Video Players were complicated -Opt in forms were difficult to add -Video page didn’t allow opt in form -Split Testing required expensive or complicated software
Hard to track how many people watch your videos.
Getting traffic to videos requires extra SEO products.
Recording screen capture videos requires special software.
Hard to create marketing videos on the road (away from the computer).
Next, we create slides from those bullet points. We should also grab some images from the product page using image grabber software. I use the Windows Snipping Tool for my screen capture images. (Just use the start button and type Snipping Tool in the search box).
This video was created using only the basic features of VideoMakerFX. The software was very easy to use and only took about 30 minutes to create this short video without even looking at the instructions. Imagine after I look at the instructions how awesome my videos will be!

You see...every once in a while a revolutionary new product comes along that completely transforms the marketplace...
In 1876, the telephone was invented, changing communications forever and allowing anyone with a phone to communicate quickly and efficiently, replacing telegraph and telegrams.
About 100 years later, the world wide web reshaped the way we think and do business, making communications and content distribution free and allowing you to buy, sell or market anything, anywhere, anytime, from any device.
Almost a decade ago, a new product called Traffic Geyser established a way to broadcast and syndicate videos, marketing content and links to get massive amounts of free traffic by leveraging those billion dollar distribution networks with the click of a button.
I’m happy to share that today we’ve done it again - only this time, it’s much bigger.

Wow! The coaches are dropping, and some are already finding a place to coach in another city… maybe not as head coach, but they make great coordinators.
