For beginners, nothing is more urgent than quickly seeing results – ideally, uploading a few videos in the morning and seeing transactions and commissions credited to the account in the evening. Just like this kind of numerical feedback:
Actually, this is not impossible! I’ve experienced it several times myself (but it should be noted that this is not a common occurrence and involves a bit of luck).
Promoting Amazon or Clickbank products through YouTube videos is a quick way to monetize. Unlike YouTube’s official ad revenue share program, which requires waiting a long time and accumulating a large amount of traffic to generate decent income, affiliate marketing is different. Even if a video only has a few hundred or thousand views, the commission earned from selling products could be dozens of dollars.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes! What you should really fear is not daring to try!
Even if you think your video is “not that great,” so what? As long as it’s uploaded, whether you think it’s good or bad, there will always be people who like it and people who dislike it. Moreover, “good or bad” is inherently your subjective perception. You may think it’s just average, but the viewers might find it useful — as long as it can lead them to the merchant’s page, the goal is achieved.
Some people take their YouTube accounts too seriously and are always afraid of having their accounts frozen for violating the platform’s Terms of Service (TOS). In fact, there’s no need! Registering a YouTube account only takes a few minutes, and the core is nothing more than a mobile phone number. Nowadays, there are specialized code-receiving platforms, and registering dozens of accounts at once is no problem.
Some people think it’s difficult to monetize a channel, but in fact, if you’re willing, you can easily buy an account with monetization privileges (of course, I don’t recommend doing this, just saying it’s possible). Even if you don’t handle the boundaries well during operation and your account gets suspended, you can simply open another one – if you’re using YouTube for affiliate marketing, you really don’t need to treat your account as something too precious.
To help you get started quickly, earn commissions, and build confidence, I’ve summarized several simple and effective methods, mainly focusing on video making techniques. Many people get stuck at this stage: uploading videos isn’t difficult, and initial promotion can start with simple methods, but they just get stuck at the production stage.
Methods for Making Amazon Product Introduction Videos
Products on Amazon are diverse, but it is recommended not to choose overly popular ones, such as popular digital products like the iPhone. The competition for relevant keywords of popular products is too fierce, making it difficult for new channels and new videos to rank highly. You can choose some niche products, such as lawn mowers, ceiling fans with lights, or even mattresses, which have fewer competing videos and are thus more likely to gain exposure.
After selecting an Amazon product, pick a few of its main images or images from the description and save them to your computer (if it’s a large image with irregular dimensions, simply use the screenshot tool built into Windows to take a screenshot).
Nowadays, many products come with introduction videos. For example, this floor cleaning robot, the one with a play button has a video, and we can download it. The method is very simple: right-click to open the page source code, search for “mp4”, find the full link of the video – there may be dozens of URLs containing “mp4” in the source code, copy the corresponding address, open it in the browser, right-click on the video and select “Save as” to save it to your computer.
Once the creatives are ready, use Jianying to piece together these images and videos. You can add some simple descriptive text to the images, such as distilling the main features of the product; you can also extract phrases from user reviews (reviews) to serve as video narration or text explanations. You can simply add background music to the video or include a voiceover. In this way, you can quickly create a product introduction video. When uploading, the title must include the full product name or keywords — as long as you’re promoting this product, doing so does not violate Amazon’s rules.
Methods for converting affiliate sales pages and landing pages into videos
Many manufacturers’ sales pages are text-based. We can extract the key points, such as product introductions, features, and advantages, use the images from the page itself or search for relevant images online, and convert them into product introduction videos in just a dozen minutes using software. Uploading it to YouTube and social media accounts for promotion might generate revenue within a few hours.
Additionally, we can also utilize the affiliate resource pages of merchants. For example, the resource page of this relationship-based product on CB features highly detailed copy, email templates, as well as ready-made articles and videos. These creatives have been carefully crafted by the merchants and are already capable of appealing to consumers. We can simply use AI to process or edit them to create attractive videos.

You can even promote products in minority languages
For example, the two platforms Adcombo / Markethealth mainly focus on nutritional products, with offers in dozens of countries and languages, including UG, RS, PR, TR, ES, MX (country codes), etc. These have ready-made Landing Pages and Sales Pages. Therefore, as affiliate marketers, our advantage is that we can promote products to netizens worldwide without leaving our country! This is the true international Internet.
I once converted an Italian offer into a video (actually, I don’t understand Italian at all; I only knew the general meaning by referring to Google Translate). It didn’t take much time, and both the text and images were extracted from the original page. Unexpectedly, the traffic started to increase within a few days, and I could earn a commission of dozens of dollars for each transaction. There was also a enhancement product; I simply made a slideshow-style video, included a few before-and-after comparison images, and the duration was even less than 1 minute. Unexpectedly, the traffic was also good, bringing in quite a few transactions and commissions. There was even a promotional video with over 1 million views.
Do you know what language this is?
I don’t understand either, but when copied to Google Translate, it can be automatically recognized as Bosnian. With the help of Google Translate and the video generator InVideo, we can convert this product introduction page into a sales video. As for the video title, it usually includes the product’s keywords, and we can simply extract the title from the sales page. Strangely enough, it also generates sales. Perhaps most affiliates focus on English content, so SEO for minority languages becomes much easier, and keyword searches are more likely to appear on the first page.
YouTube will give new videos a small amount of recommendation and display opportunities. Maybe someone just searches for this keyword, clicks on the affiliate link after seeing your video, and buys the product, then you’ll have US dollars coming in – this kind of thing is quite common.
While methods are important, there’s an old adage that still holds true: execution is equally crucial. Many people think a lot but do little. Before complaining about lack of results, first consider how much you’ve actually done. Being more diligent in the early stages and creating more videos will lead to more opportunities — don’t think that making just one video will guarantee good things to happen; that’s not what I mean. Methods aren’t difficult, but few people can truly persevere.
