    What niche are these products? Are they your own product line, like a backpack or something? Or, are you trying to do affialite sames for someone like amazon.

    How about a link to your youtube account? I would like to see some of your videos.

    Are these good quality videos (resolution and sound), are you broadcasting in HD or wide screen?

    There is a lot to doing reviews of products and driving traffic to your site. You just do not post a crappy looking video and hope that people like it enough to visit your site.

    The last 2 videos I posted took 5 - 6 hours to film, edit and upload. Just the filming along was about an hour, then another 3 - 4 hours of editing and uploading. The next big video I plan on posting will take about 2, maybe 3 hours to film, just to get 10 minutes of video. That 2 - 3 hours includes drive time to the at 3 or 4 locations I'am going to be filming at.

    That is the kind of stuff that you need to do to make a powerful youtube channel. Not sitting behind your webcam in every video talking about stuff.

    My advice is find some information on using keywords with your videos.

    Yeah true, & remember that is "YouTube" where you are, so never forget the enterteiment value; if nobody is talking in some seconds put some music in there, a not-so-boring-one is recommended.

    I have a different strategy when it comes to video marketing. I will give you some examples. The first method I used to make some bucks with Youtube was to upload tons of music videos (that I downloaded from Youtube) using different keywords. I would even upload them to multiple accounts for more exposure. I would then create a free blog with blogger.com, write some articles targeting high paying adsense keywords, and place adsense ads on my pages. In description of my videos, I would put my blog link and create some annotations to send some of my viewers to my blog hoping that they would click on one of the ads. There's two problem I've had with this method. first, the traffic is not target. second, Youtube would sooner or later delete my videos/accounts due to copyright violation.

    The second thing I tried was to promote ringtones. I would sign up as an affiliate to a company that sells ringtones, upload tons of videos, put my affiliate link in the description, and get paid as people buy ringtones. I had very positive results with this method. You also have to anticipate where the target audience will be. for example, if there's a new lil wayne that comes out, I will be one of the firsts to upload it and put my affiliate link. I also sometimes check the billboard to see what is the latest single that tops the charts.

    The third thing I did was promoting digital products. I would find a good product at clickbank and upload related videos. One of the products I promote was a music editing software. I promoted it using music videos. and of course I don't limit myself to that.

    It is a very time consuming task to upload videos, so sometimes I use automated software to speed things a little.

    If you spend time producing your own original videos, have thousands of subscribers, you should consider joining the Youtube partner program. They share ad revenues with Youtubers!

    If you want to know more, please visit my blog and read the articles I posted about internet video marketing

    I'm also writing an in-depth free ebook about making money with video sharing sites that I plan to publish in the near future

    I hope this was helpful...Good luck :)

    That is true. I now get more views than I used to. Youtube has now its own keyword research tool that I use to find keywords and split test some of my videos.
