Affilate Marketing ; The Interaction between the
Internet Publishers and their Engaged Product Manufacturers or Service Providers in a
Global Environment; a business made at home.
Affiliate Marketing and Shareasale-ways, glamorous, gorgeous, daunting in its impressive format of business opportunity generating strategies and tactics as applied, is a bone for Internet Entrepreneurs.
Last week's summit and conference is a testament to that. The most recent gathering of the 'faithful and enthused' public of new and long established affiliate marketers took place in Las Vegas last week. For the organisers this large and well attended business event drew attendees from near and afar regions of North America and from abroad.
To put it short. It was a well organised and a 'slam dunk' event and an affair empowering over 4000 people in attendance at the conference named the 'Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas, Nevada. This I learned from a friend who attended the
event.
Attending were friends of mine since long, Arlene and James Martell of Crescent Beach in
South Surrey, a sister district to White Rock in BC, Canada. They are no newbies to the established and fast growing earning opportunity and work place destination industry on the Internet I choose to call 'referral or affiliate, marketing, which is performed direct from the location of one's home or on travel.
This couple with four children are unique in the way they have been in the business of Internet marketing just about ten years.
James and Arlene are no gurus, and resent being named as such. They are both self-taught, experienced, Internet entrepreneurs and have independently made their living by training collegues and students on the topic of Affiliate Marketing.
This has been going on for over 7 years; 'training students of the affiliate marketing business and website building, [SEO] search engine optimization, and beneficial and important
inbound link building principles, tool software requirements and all pertinent strategies and necessities to learn all there is to learn for
those who wish to successfully pursue and start and to embrace the lucrative,
independent and in part inter-dependent income generating independent business
called, Affiliate Marketing.
The Martells have written books and articles and created a substantial blog and website presence through 'Affiliate Buzz', the Martell Newsletter, and audio programs like one of my 'free faves', the 'Coffee Talk' by James Martell and in
the last year he has fully incorporated the tool made available and useful for
Affiliate Marketers.
To use video for search engine optimization for YouTube and Google and Yahoo as well. Martell has incorporate the medium video in his latest curriculum and study plans and all of which intricate details you can qualify for and receive in part free of charge. It's a goldmine.
The Martell study material and on-line webinars are all parts of a planned and stringent program concept of Internet education changing the world of business for both providers, manufacturers of products and services, on the Internet.
One of the first on the scene and made available to the public 2002 is the today
acclaimed and hugely popular 'Affiliate Marketers Handbook' by James Martell.
Still standing, this book for thousands of readers have become somewhat of a 'bible'
[if the expression can be tolerated] in its field of educating on the subject with the updated and now a 4th Edition is in the works and soon to be released
and available.

So now we know this. So now what? The major topic at the event in Las Vegas which raised eyebrows and made happy faces all over I understand.
Video -O-Hoy! Oh'Boy!
Now to my foremost subject and interest which is video and video production, video
planning and search engine optimization for specifically video films on the YouTube and Google. Yes, I am biased and can tell you about that another time. I love video. It's forever. It spells 'economy and savings' for businesses, merchants of all categories and almost any industry and organisation can improve their bottom lines and results in communication'.
First what is YouTube and ..? Here are som information that you may find stunning. YouTube is a power ..'a monster that carries both 'bad and good'.
You can
decide. Mostly good in my books.
Video and Google and YouTube, each and together, are reshaping our social formats and ways of communicating, cause positive effects such as visualization of reality and increases speed of learning and do reduce literacy.
Video is opening the doors in so many fields that the results become obvious to most.Video is leveling the playing field for generation today aand paves the way for the future of communication and almost serves as an equalizer, of sorts.
From 2009:
Approximate projections for the 2010
YouTube is part of the global Internet.
Adults spend 15+ hours on Internet a Week [wow - really?]
Expected 217 MM US internet Users by 2012 (71% Penetration)
55% broadband access, will grow to 90% by 2012
Online video viewing increased 35% year over the year.
YouTube is the #4 Largest Site on the Internet.
YouTube is the #1 Largest video site on the web.
Immense populations visit and 'YouTube' has over 300MM Worldwide Visitors per Month.
YouTube has over 100
Million Visitors per Month.
5 Billion Video Streams Every month – 40% of all videos online.
(Do the Math – 5
Billion / 300 million worldwide visitors = 17 streams a month per person) 15 Hours of video uploaded every minute,
In August 2008, youtube became the #2 search engine passing Yahoo on Web. #1 is Google and (Google owns YouTube.)
I need to get the following information and personal reflections off my chest and to you today, and this with regards to 'video' and video productions.
In itself and as a 'solitary revenue soldier' moving around 'in the back of my laptop'
and 'Video' is now poking me and urging me to give my readers the news about
the hottest subject discussed on this huge conference; the 'Affiliate [Marketers] Summit West' in Las Vegas.You guessed it right. Video!
This is great news about video; a tool and entertainment source we've had around us and
in our laptops for about three years now. The positive bearings video is sending
to a global market is changing our world, one video at the time.
Most precious updates about traffic and uploads on YouTube [owned by Google] are
stunning in size. ~over 100 million unique visitors are viewing videos on YouTube per month. Right now this day , this week, or month? I am not sure. The figures are staggering.
[Yes I know, we do have global time zones and the world doesn't end with the North
American continent] so digest the YouTube stat with respect for what truly is amazing in our world of communication and distribution of anything from wild movies to smut videos and commercial and scientific content on the millions of
videos uploaded]
Further to the case let's mention also that today more than 15 hours of video new videos are being uploaded by the minute. Correct me if I am wrong. My memory is
sensitive to the continued improvements and changes in numbers of stats. We are
left with the impression video and YouTube are here to stay.
We are all on the cusp to see a media revolution take place in front of our lap top screen
and electronic handheld devices like Android , iPhone, Palm, and Black Berry's;
just to mention those brands serving as vanguards in our cyberspace environment.
Especially perhaps for those important people making money, harvesting revenues from commissions on the Internet, under the title 'affiliate marketers' and Internet publishers the fast rising media and tool, the video is sending marketing people of all categories scrambling to have their videos made,soonest.
During the meet at the summit and conference the words confirmed and endorsed by the
specialists present to professionally dissect 'video' as a noun as well as a verb and specifically as the versatile tool it has become in a short span of a few years.
Will video as such contribute to an improvement in business results, personal revenues and
over all public communication and the national economies? The questions are many. The only certain and verifiable facts are those growing its answers in the escalated plethora of both exciting and scientific 'techie' sources upon which all of us need to rely.
Those facts are simply these:
Video will be and already is a sustainable economical factor in business as performed today
and will be also in the future, if and when. I point to the 'if' which is imperative: 'videos and produced and launched must improve and maintain the
important qualities' like:
a/ Content of high quality worth sharing with the
fellow neighbour or business colleagues or associates and family.
b/ Content of practical, specific intrinsic or general worthwhile educational value to the specific target group of viewers; the audience.
c/ High Quality of camera and recording equipment; HD, Digital since YouTube is now calibrated to transmit and deliver HD standard and video consequently looks a trifle better to the viewer.
d/ Optimizing every facet of production from start to finish; the upload to YouTube channel as designated.
e/ Optimizing tags, description text for SEO...Skype script [Search Engine Optimization]. No marketer wish to be left behind in this onslaught and rush created by the demand
and opportunity for video programs utilization as opened by the giants of YouTube, Vidler, Google Video, and others.
The use of video as an attention and signal indicator for the crawlers of all search engines is perhaps and will be the most heralded improvement for marketing people this year of 2010.
Affiliate Marketing personnel and entrepreneurs will be happy to see their new tool able to support their strategies and tactics; video has become a buzz word big time and there is no stopping either.
To have your content and web-pages rated, ranked and affected by video. And to improve sales and attention for the specific item, service, article, issue, business and
company or organisation or an individual, is truly amazing and very useful and the best news for affiliate marketers and other categories professionals
'making their living in the business of Internet marketing'.
Martell writes in a newly published 'Martell Newsletter' something like this. "View my link to some valuable information, please".

Now I can let Mr.James Martell and his guest Mr. Lon Naylor, former Microsoft executive and employee and specialist 'tell the rest of the story'..in an amazing web video. Exciting details any Internet pro or novice can appreciate coming from the centre point of the branch I call 'personal direct Internet affiliate marketing'.
And, Yes, I hope you are now as excited about the potential and areas of use of video, as I am.
'Video Is Forever' and a tool embraced today by also the affiliate marketing corps of our societies. Some call it a 'blessing for retailers' and businesses because
conventional newsprint advertising can be reduced by over 60% .That's economy in combination with proven efficacy when video is deployed professionally by business owners.
