Blogger Illustrated

I have talked a bit about making money video blogging and reviewing and recommending products via video blog. Well, better than anything else is an actual example. The top vid is my talking to you and the bottom vid is the actual product review/reco that I will post on my sites.



Here is the video review that I will post ALL OVER my sites and sell grub control. BTW– I am not showing the link for the “stuff” here but it is a product available on Amazon.

Here’s my advice:
1) un-professional comes across as real and not as “pitchy”
2) being an authority just means you really believe in the product
3) don’t let your persona overshadow the actual product
4) offer products not readily available at “off line” sources and TELL the viewers this fact
5) try to teach or educate just a bit. This is called offering “features and benefits” in the sales world

Your comments are very much welcome, good or bad. In fact, I like the negative ones better because:
1) criticism fires me up
2) once I get over #1 above, I just may learn something

Internet marketers have been making money for years by writing product reviews. It is one of the simplest ways to make money on the net.  And I say that video blogging product reviews are even better, watch the vid:

Ok, so here is the idea:

You do video reviews of stuff you use/like/have/buy and then sell that same stuff through your affiliate links. Simple, I know, but do you know of anyone doing this using vid?

Frank over at OpTempo does great product reviews in the old fashioned written style. He is very good at it and uses mostly the Ebay program to monetize the site. Here is an idea of how he writes his titles in this post: Lexmark Multifunction Printer Review

See how detailed that is? It will be much easier to rank for that very very longtail keyword! I would also venture a guess and say that someone looking for “reviews” of that printer, may be in the market to buy a printer!

Now imagine doing that same review with video! That is powerful.

Ok, so I am really buzzed up in this one, but the concept is sound even though my mind isn’t.

The idea is that you should video blog about products and/or services that you have actually used in your everyday life. This gives you an advantage over a standard pitch man who is paid to just do that, “pitch.”
