Everyone online has heard of YouTube and most have watched YouTube videos. But not everyone knows about YouTube Marketing.

The main scope of internet marketing is generating traffic to a website. Without traffic, an online business cannot survive.

Although most webmasters and affiliates are aware of traffic generators such as pay per click, article marketing, email newsletter advertising, etc., there is another marketing tool that is largely overlooked.

Millions of people use YouTube to upload videos to the Internet for fun and entertainment, but most don’t realize what a valuable tool it can be in driving targeted traffic to a website, whether it’s your own website or an affiliate website where they, as an affiliate, get paid for purchases made through your affiliate link.

There are videos on YouTube that are viewed hundreds of thousands of times a month by people all over the world. Do you think if there was a way to put a link to your website where everyone who saw your video could see it, you might get some clicks?

I bet you would. Especially if you could give a brief description of what your website is about.

Well, it can, and it can look like a pay-per-click ad. If you’re not familiar with pay-per-click ads, the next time you do a Google search, pay attention to the ads on the right side of the page. Those are all pay-per-click ads and people pay money every time someone clicks on one of those ads, and they could pay anywhere from 5 cents to $10 per click or more depending on the keywords they’re bidding on.

With YouTube Marketing, you can have the same type of ad as pay-per-click ads that can get thousands of clicks per month or more, absolutely free. And the more videos you have, the more viewers and clicks to your website you will get.

I will never understand why more people don’t use YouTube to market their website. Videos are fun to make and with a little know-how, they could turn a regular website into a money-making machine, completely on autopilot.
