Amazon Video Widgets - Earn Money From the Amazon Affiliate Program and Video in Affiliate Programs
By Darren Rowse el 04-Jul-2008
Amazon have launched a new handy Video Widget that will interest many bloggers wanting to combine the use of video and the Amazon Affiliate program.
The widget allows you to make a video and then upload it to Amazon to be hosted where you can add little pop-up product links and pictures that appear throughout the video.
You can choose which products appear and then time the product appearances to the moment in the video that you mention the product you’re talking about.
This video widget will be most effective when you’re reviewing products and I think could convert well.
Here’s a quick video that I just made - excuse the quality of the video (it’s jumpy and out of sync). It’s not Amazon’s hosting but is my fault as my laptop was doing too many things at once as I recorded it.
The video was shot in 1 minute and it only took me 3 minutes to upload and a further 2 to add the products. Not bad for 6 minutes work.
