Most internet marketers use pre-existing videos from Youtube to help spice up their affiliate marketing endeavors. There’s no doubt that a good video that demonstrates a product or a related topic is a perfect compliment to an affiliate marketing sales page. There are many videos that are purely demonstrative out there – you’d be crazy not to drop those into your page. Videos, on the other hand, can make you look like a complete fool. Here are a few examples.

1. The video you’ve dropped on your sales page is watermarked with someone else’s URL, or has a promotion at the end of it. This is why it is SO important to watch the entire video you intend to use, BEFORE you put it on your live site. Otherwise, you’re enticing people to visit that other guy’s site. You know, the guy who went through all of that trouble to create the video in the first place, giving him more credibility than you.
2. Youtube videos are click-able, as you know, and clicking one will take you to its respective page on Youtube. If that page has the video author’s link pointing to his or her affiliate site, you’ve just lost a sale. The instant someone moves away from your site and onto another site with a link to further information about the product as seen in the video is the point where you’ll either lose the cookie or the sale.
3. Some Youtube videos are just malicious by their own nature. Some videos have a curse word, image or wind up having a completely different turn of events during the last few seconds — I’ve seen it a million times! Nothing will KILL your credibility more than using a video that you scanned for 5 seconds that has something really embarrassing in it.

Watch all videos from Youtube in their entirety before you use them…can’t stress that enough!
