Make Money With Youtube - How I Made $630 Today Using Video

In this post I will break down exactly how I used video, and specifically Youtube, to generate $630 today online.

But before I jump into the anatomy of this process, I want to start by saying that if you're an internet marketer and not currently using video to either promote yourself or your business, then you are not maximizing all of the social media mediums at your disposal. Video currently represents the most powerful free marketing tool available, allowing us to share our message with thousands of people from all over the world.

Okay, so in simple terms, this is exactly how I make money with video, and more importantly, how I was able to make money with Youtube this very afternoon.


1) The first thing I did was create a quick video pertaining to successful entrepreneurship and post it on Youtube (which in this case was a video discussing the merits of the book 'The 4 Hour Workweek' by Tim Ferriss) as a resource to aspiring entrepreneurs. Since my target audience is comprised of aspiring online entrepreneurs, I try to make videos that are educational in nature that actually teach people how to build a business online. Subsequently, I made this video several months ago.

2) My prospect, who would eventually join my business, was searching Youtube one day from his home in Australia for information on the book 'The 4 Hour Workweek.' When he entered the title of the book, my video came up first on his search. He clicked on my link and watched my video.

3) After watching the video and wanting to know more about me and what my business was, he clicked on the link to my website (placed conveniently and deliberately in the description section next to the video.)

4) After visiting my website, he opted-in to my email list, and then began receiving follow-up, educational video emails from me on a wide range of internet marketing topics.

5) As his interest in online business grew, he began sending me emails wanting to know more about how I was making money online, and how possible it would be for him to duplicate my results.

6) After a few conversations, he acknowledged that he wanted to join my business. The next day (today), I received an email from my company saying that he had just joined my team and that I had generated a $630 commission.


In summary, this new teammate and my $630 commission resulted from one video that I made several months back. It was a video that took me an hour to make and put on Youtube, and that was it. Of course there were other factors that led to this sale in addition to the video, like me responding to some of his questions and me having an opportunity to offer him in the first place (i.e., the company I have been apart of for several years). But my point here is that this whole process started with video...one video that was made for free. I have many, many more videos on a wide range of topics that work for me in the same way across the internet. Remember, video marketing is a powerful thing. Once you make a video, it will work for you again and again, so don't forget to take advantage of this free marketing strategy.

Phuket, Thailand

Here is a video I made while I was in Phuket, Thailand last month. I had a great time in Asia this Fall, despite the markets collapsing while I was gone.

I actually read a study the other day by Forbes magazine which said that within 5 years, an estimated 80 million Americans will be involved with some sort of online business!! I couldn't believe how high this figure was, but was really excited at the possibility of so many new business partners over the next few years. There truly is a paradigm shift happening among many in the developed world, to seek out entrepreneurial careers as opposed to just following a corporate path. Certainly something to think about....

Building Your Business From Anywhere!

Why struggle to the top in someone else's business when you can start at the top in your own!?

If this thought has crossed your mind, then we have something in common! This was the idea that prompted me to break away from my career path in Corporate America and become an entrepreneur. To this day, it is one of the best decisions I have ever made.I love to travel, and I've spent over two years of my life living abroad in Japan, Thailand, France and Jamaica. I'm living the way most people trapped in corporate jobs never will. WITH FREEDOM! The majority of individuals struggle in their jobs for decades just in hopes of having the freedom that today's entrepreneur does.

It's funny because I once asked a friend (who at the time was working stressful 80 hour weeks at an investment bank) what he would do if he ever made the millions of dollars that he was working so hard to acquire. Without hesitation he said, "Take a long trip to Thailand." Imagine that! So many people, just like my friend, spend their entire lives working for someone else, just to have the chance to go where they want when they retire! As an entrepreneur, I am already living that existence!! Of course, I work very hard at what I do and take my work very seriously, but I have the same freedom of mobility that a retiree does...and maybe even more! To go where I want whenever I want is a great feeling that I wish more people could experience.

Residual Income With Google AdSense

Residual income is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. As an entrepreneur and home-based business owner, I try to focus on ways to make my money and time work best work for me. Having spent several years in investment consulting prior to becoming an entrepreneur, I have a pretty good understanding of asset allocation and capital markets. But for a long time, I've neglected to discover other ways of earning residual income - and specifically, how to create residual income ONLINE! With that said, I do earn residual income through my company Platinum One Destinations, but nonetheless, I wanted to find another vehicle in addition.

So recently, I've concentrated my efforts into doing so. One of the ways I've encountered (and I am certainly not the first) is through the use of Google Adsense. For those of you not familiar with Google AdSense, basically what it is is a program that allows you to run Google advertisements on your website, in exchange for being paid for each visitor that clicks one of the ads. Simply stated, you earn money from relevant adds that Google places on your website. This is a great way to monetize whatever website you may have, such as your blog!

As stated on Wikipedia "AdSense has been particularly important for delivering advertising revenue to small sites that do not have the resources for developing advertising sales programs and salespeople." Many entrepreneurs are using Adsense as a way to make a passive income to supplement their business income.

I just wanted to pass this idea on to you, in hopes it can help you attain the passive income you've been looking for. For more insight, you can check out the main link here for Google AdSense.

As I've said in previous posts, I'm determined to help others create a lifestyle that will make them more free to enjoy the finer things in life like family, time freedom and the opportunity to travel and live anywhere in the world.

To Your Success,
Dan

Platinum One Destinations

When I decided to become an entrepreneur, I knew that whatever I did HAD to combine the power of the internet and travel. Making this decision was the first step. Then, once I knew I wanted to pursue the home based travel business, I started to network with people who had already found success in the the industry. The first company I promoted was Coastal Vacations. Although it was a great opportunity, I found an even better fit with Platinum One Destinations , and eventually made the move over.

Now I help others succeed in this business. I teach my team members how to harness the power of the internet to market themselves and their business. I show them how to attract free leads and traffic by telling their own story (as opposed to leading with their business) using social networking websites like Youtube, Myspace and Facebook. This strategy allows them to reach TENS OF THOUSANDS of potential prospects with their message in a very short amount of time. I do this alon with teaching them how to automate as much of their business as they can.

With P1D, The commissions on each transaction are high, ranging from $750 - $7500 and the support and training provided by the Synergy Marketing Group, the sales and support arm of P1D is superior to all of the other companies I've studied in this industry.

I always love to connect with other entrepreneurs, or even people who are just curious about what it would be like to leave the deferred life plan behind and create their own lifestyle.I hope you are having a great month of July!

Take Care,
Dan
