Videos are a great way to sell a product and is the way forward in Niche and Internet Marketing. People love to watch videos as opposed to reading a long sales letter - it is entertaining and people love to be entertained. This is why the cinema and television is so popular and why 'moving pictures' caught on in the first place.

Many of the so-called gurus of online marketing have their own videos to sell their products and this has proven to be very successful with the marketer doubling or even tripling his sales. YouTube has also become very popular with marketers utilising the site to promote their own product by a video and also providing a link back to their website. Hundreds and thousands of people visit YouTube every day and by having a video advertising your product on a site such as this, can give you lots of traffic to your website and even possibly double your sales.

Unfortunately for most of us, creating a video for your own product (if indeed you have your own product yet), would take a lot of time and some money to make it look professional. If you are adept enough in creating your own video and have all the equipment to do so, then it is still going to take time and money. If you do not have your own product and prefer to affiliate with others, you still need to get someone to visit your website or blog, convince them to look at the product in question and also opt-in to your list for more information. You could have a squeeze page with a few dynamic words to help your prospect make the decision to click your affiliate link or you could have your own video.

In October 2007, Todd Gross launched Pre-Sale Videos which, at the moment, has a seven-day free trial. I had not actually heard of this site until recently when I joined the Easter JV 2008 Giveaway - but more on that later! The Pre-Sale Video site is full of ready-made videos that you may either embed on your website or put a link on your website or blog to the video in question. The video is also hosted on the Pre-Sale Video site so it does not matter whether you have your own website or not as you can place the link to the actual video on your blog. The great thing about these videos is that not only are they ready-made by professionals, they advertise some of the well-known and newest affiliate programs on the web. Furthermore, these videos are embedded with your affiliate link so if anyone purchases the product after watching the video and clicking, you get a commission. The newest video on site is for the Floating Action Button and there are more videos to come.

If you want to get ahead with video marketing together with your affiliate marketing and do not want all the hassle of creating your own videos or even setting up your own website, then Pre-Sale Videos could be for you. Considering that you can try them out for seven days for free, makes it affordable for everyone for a short time. Alternatively, you could promote the product itself as Pre-Sale Videos has its own affiliate program.

Marketing and videos go together like strawberries and cream - the strawberries being the product with the videos providing the cream or the finishing touch. If you are an avid affiliate marketer and would like to give video marketing a shot, then Pre-Sale Videos is worth trying out.
