Arguably one of the easiest ways to make money online, YouTube marketing has long been the go to method both for up-and-coming Internet marketers and professionals who have been on the job for years. Part of the reason that makes YouTube marketing such a hot commodity is the fact that it is practically instant to set up. Whereas other, more tedious means of Internet marketing require you to set up a website, clear multiple interviews for CPA networks, or try your luck at Adsense and risk getting banned, YouTube marketing has none of these things, with the added benefit of being a purely visual medium for marketing.
 
People nowadays are not as willing to read as they were before, so unfortunately; the value of the written word in delivering marketing messages is dwindling day by day. Enter the YouTube marketing landscape: with a short 20 to 30 second video, you can completely captivate your audience and compel them to buy your products in a way that written text or even the flashiest ads will never be able to do. With videos, you gain the powerful ability to deliver your message with sincerity, leaving it to the conviction that lies within your tone of voice to drive your message home far more efficiently than written marketing.
 
Not only has that, with YouTube come the sparkling allure of virality. Other means of marketing do not present you with a means to allow your message to carry forward. Think about it, how many people are going to forward a block of text to their friends, family, or loved ones to convince them to buy some generic product that they , themselves, bought? Personal referrals and word of mouth marketing are both two excellent tools that you would do well to harness as someone who's new to the Internet marketing landscape. With YouTube, you are able to harness the full impact of this powerful channel of marketing. Just look at how many videos get shared from YouTube to social networks such as Twitter and Facebook a day. The numbers are simply unimaginable.
 
In addition, the videos carry forward, giving rise to something similar to a snowball effect where the exposure of the video grows as more people come to view it. Viral videos are effectively a gold mine. If you get enough people to view the video initially, the effect is autocatalytic. People look at the video and see that so many before them have viewed, and positively reviewed this video, making them more likely to watch the video to its end, which ultimately benefits your marketing campaign by allowing you to deliver your message to the fullest of its potential.
 
YouTube marketing also presents you with a degree of flexibility that is not available elsewhere. You can time your ads, inserting them exactly where you want for maximal impact. Getting your audience on the edges of their seats,and claiming their full attention then delivering a powerful marketing message is much more likely to leave an impression in their minds than other, weaker means of communication. What’s more YouTube pretty much gives you free reign where this message is concerned. You get to decide the size of the ad, where it is placed, when it is displayed, and how long it stays on screen. Effectively, this allows you to experiment a great deal. You can keep playing around with your message until you find something that suits your particular category of viewers and converts well.
 
Another exciting possibility regarding YouTube marketing is the ability to reply on videos. The responses are an excellent way to gain indirect traffic. You can either reinforce your message by replying positively to a previous YouTube member’s video, or you can go the other way entirely and post a negative response on others video. Depending on the topic itself, both methods can be extremely powerful means to generate traffic to your YouTube video by harnessing the social aspect of YouTube.
 
A word to the wise though, if your negative responses are too sharp, confronting, or incorporate depreciating phrases, you may end up having your reply video taken down, or worse, being banned from YouTube entirely. One good way to avoid this is to take the necessary time to read the YouTube video posting policies and observe the due diligence required to keep your account clean. Ultimately, it pays off. Not only do you end up avoiding any possible mishaps or run-ins with the YouTube staff, you’re also making a name for yourself and bolstering your reputation on YouTube, thus making it more likely for people to view your future videos.
 
Another way you can make money with YouTube is to target a niche market. Setting up a YouTube channel that targets a particular, well-obscured, low-competition niche with a potential following, and numerous products to sell is an excellent way to establish yourself as an effective, successful YouTube marketer. Positioning yourself as an authority is your number one priority in this case. You need to convince people that you are well informed and well-versed in whatever it is you are reviewing were talking about. This will keep them coming back for more, especially if the niche is fast-paced and is in a period of accelerated development.
 
As mentioned above, as long as you keep your nose clean, and stay under the radar by conforming to the YouTube policies, the possibilities are simply endless. The wondrous thing about YouTube is that the videos can be set up and posted absolutely free, so the initial investment costs for this sort of Internet marketing are practically zero. As a matter of fact, the only setback in YouTube marketing is your video creation and editing skills. Lots of people have stage fright where online posting of videos is concerned. Others simply do not have the technical expertise or equipment required to fabricate these videos. If either of these two things are what are holding you back, then a friendly suggestion would be to try and overcome your fears of Video Posting and go the extra mile where the equipment and software is concerned. Ultimately, it pays off.
