How about affiliate marketing on YouTube with Amazon?

wuzzupman · Nov 29, 2019

Hey everyone who will see this thread!
Beforehand sorry for my French - I am not an English speaker.

So, I have an idea - make video reviews and put my affiliate links in the description.
How I will do it:

I'm going to find any websites with articles\reviews about keyboards or mouses or cameras for example.
And I will take the text from that article and sound it by my voice.

Next step is - find some videos on youtube (with CC license) and make a footage about product which I am going to promote.

Make affiliate links of these products on amazon and put links in the description.

Next step is YouTube SEO: keywords, optimize description, hashtags etc...

So guys. What do you think about this idea? It will work or not and why, if not?

Thanks for your attention and sorry my French again.

It should work if you put quality in it, make sure to include some kind of intro in these videos to get some "authority" and maybe pay some views,likes,comments to rank higher faster

Just make sure you add your channel to the amazon affiliate. It sounds easy but it's not, requires lots of work to rank yt videos.

Yes, I will make High quality content ofc. I have any experience with Premiere Pro and Photoshop. But I can't buy some views, likes etc, cuz I am reeeeaaly poor guy and will try to do it without include money.

Buying views these days are not that effective anyway, dont forget create SM account to link with YT, optimize the SM to increase the traffic trajectory at the beginning

Social media, let say this way : create IG, increase the exposure through F/U (manually if you want it cost effective), DM, and interact with the follower of the people that being on the same niche as your YT account

Hello again.
Few questions about strikes:

Friends, will I get strike if I take articles from other sites without asking them and use them in my videos?
What problems await me?
I also want to download and use open-source video clips from YouTube and make footage of them,. so, the same question - will I get strike if i do it?

Thanks.

Don't just copy them outright. just do few changes take the main points and present them. If you use them outright it looks spammy even Amazon wouldn't like that.
Using open source videos are fine. don't use the whole video just take small parts of a video make your own content. but sometimes some suckers could send you copystrikes.

Should work really fine. I've seen channels with gadget reviews bank using aff links.

wuzzupman · Dec 3, 2019

From the above messages I realized that this might work. Thank you for your replies.
I actually want to change my 8-5 job to full-time on YouTube and earn 200-300$\month to have something to eat, lol.
After that I want to grow my channel, improve quality. When I will get some audience, I will start to show my face and work with branding and reputation.

If your content is not one of the best in your niche then you will always earn much more with affiliate offers, cpa, ppi etc then from yt ads

Yes go right ahead just be consistant and you will succeed . Just add youtube.com to your list of sites in your Amazon associates account.

JMons7aR · Dec 4, 2019

i have tried this its a good idea but I think amazon affiliate pays too low. I think its worth looking for other affiliate sites like some direct sites as they pay a lot more comission...

i am going to try some more affiliate videos my self..

Yeah you're right but also your earnings depend on the amount of your audience (Сaptain obvious)
but again, I agree with you, - direct sites and their affiliate programs might pay a lot more, and then we've got a new problem - find them...
