You Can Get Paid to Watch Videos Online! Here's How
Have you ever watched videos online, and thought to yourself, How can I get paid to watch these? Well, if you are wondering how to make money online by watching videos, this blog will show you exactly how!
Getting started with digital marketing
When you start a website or develop an application or any product that is related to digital marketing, it can become quite difficult for you if you don’t know how it all works. All of these things need some kind of promotion; whether it is on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other platform. Let us try and understand what digital marketing actually is.
Download free software
To make money with an affiliate program, you don’t need to spend any of your own cash; you just need to sign up as an affiliate. To do that, you’ll need two things: a link and tracking software. The most common way to monetize video is through a linking strategy, where a website links to products featured in online videos.
Do market research before you choose a product to promote
There are thousands of products in every niche, and you will be competing with lots of other affiliates trying to promote these products. So, it is very important that you do thorough research before choosing a product. Be sure to check if there are enough clients or customers for that product on your preferred market place such as Amazon or Google. If not, then there’s no point promoting it because you will just lose money even if there are interested clients or customers.
Follow social media guidelines for influencers
Social media guidelines aren’t just for full-time influencers—they apply to anyone who wants to earn money through a social media platform. Be mindful of Instagram’s rules, and make sure you know what you can and can’t post. Remember that your credibility is on the line with every photo, video, or tweet: Make sure you don’t do anything that would harm your reputation as an influencer in any way.
Create your email list (optional)
Email lists are one of two things you need to be successful online. The other thing is an audience (how big or small doesn’t matter yet). Email marketing is a booming industry and it’s an easy way for website owners to reach their users. There are tons of different ways you can make money with your email list, so choose one that makes sense for your specific business.
Look for review opportunities
Sign up for different video-reviewing platforms and websites that will reward you for watching and reviewing content. Two great sites are MyVideoReviewer and Vindale Research, although you can find dozens of other similar options by simply searching around. On these sites, once you’ve created a profile that explains your background and experience, companies will send you emails about their products or services in exchange for your honest feedback. And best of all? It’s completely free money!
Set up your website if needed
When you’re first starting out with making money online, there are a lot of steps involved. First, set up your website and create a web presence by buying some domain names and building that site. However, you don’t need to spend a lot of money building your site up if you don’t have as much money available in your budget. Remember that time is what you need most when running your own business online. The more time you can invest on your site, the better off it will be. If you can build a simple one-page site using WordPress for around $5 per month, that’s all you really need for now.
Share your first affiliate link on social media (and provide value!)
The easiest way to get a leg up on making money from affiliate links is by sharing your first link on social media. Share your link in as many different groups, communities, and with friends as possible. You should also be sure to write an original message that adds value or helps solve a problem for people who click on it – if you do so, you can really reap some big benefits by using affiliate links.
Track your earnings
It’s important to know how much you’re making each month so that you can calculate your hourly wage, compare it to industry standards and make sure you’re on track. To do that, I suggest creating a simple spreadsheet or running your numbers in an accounting app like Quickbooks.
