The system I've outlined in this article Video Profiteer Review is one which is showing good results at the moment and is still being tested. This can be considered a beta version and the final system will require more extensive testing to tweak my video style in the direction of generating clickthroughs to Amazon and generating a sale. To outline the process fully I need to put the video element into context. HubPages is an online community of writers who specialise in various topics and generate income via AdSense and affiliate product recommendations.
The video element which I've added to my Michael Jackson article is to guide my visitors to the places on the Hub which may be of interest. By definition anyone who reaches my hub from Google has searched for "Michael Jackson interviews" and is qualified as a fan of the artist.
The format of the video introduction Video Profiteer Reviews which I recorded using screen capture software is as follows:
1) Introduce myself as the author / compiler of the hub.
2) Describe the hub in sections beginning with the video content immediately below the introduction video
3) Point out the presence of Amazon products related to(Hub Topic) and suggest that the visitor should click to see a selection of products which would make good gifts.
In effect the addition of an introduction video by the author of the hub is preselling the visitor on the quality of the hub and the availability of gifts at amazon.
The process is simple to arrange and I'm hosting my video at a site called Video Profiteer Review which also offers the possibility of income to me each time the video is watched.
