Have you started driving targeted traffic with online video yet? If you have, the results are incredible, aren’t they? If you haven’t, it has to be because you haven’t yet realized it’s rapidly becoming the number one way to build traffic on the Internet today.

The subject of using videos in Internet marketing or affiliate marketing is top-of-mind for me today, since I’m creating a video tutorial on the subject just for my students in the PowerStart Marketing Coaching Program. But while this tutorial is just for them and won’t be available outside of the classes, I still wanted to share some thoughts with you about this powerful form of traffic generation.

First, of course, uploading your marketing videos to sites like YouTube and Viddler can bring you a lot of attention – especially if your video catches the public’s fancy and they start sharing it, embedding it on their blogs and telling friends about it. Some of these ‘viral videos’ have ended up with MILLIONS of views and great response – just think about the branding factor alone!

Second, if you’re an internet marketer with an affiliate program, you can make your videos available to your affiliates to use in their marketing mix, making it easier for them, and you, to make more money online. And nothing motivates affiliates, even super-affiliates, like making money hand-over-fist!

Third, using videos as part of your online marketing efforts can double or triple your response from social sites like Twitter. It’s much easier to get social traffic to click a link to your article, blog post or video than it is to a squeeze page or salespage – unless, of course, the video is on one of those two, in which case you invite them to view the video without saying anything about the page it’s on.

Fourth, videos get you into the video directories, of course – meaning wider exposure for your marketing message. Your site gets you into the search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing, your articles get you into article directories like EzineArticles and GoArticles, your blog gets you into the blog directories like Tehnorati & MyBlogLog, your audios get you into the podcast directories like iTunes & Podcast Alley, and your videos get you into video directories like YouTube & Viddler. That 5-pronged marketing saturation strategy is part of the PowerStart program, and is the most effective method of driving traffic at the present time – done right even paid advertising would be hard-pressed to match the results!

So the question now isn’t ARE you going to use video as part of your traffic building arsenal, nor even WHEN are you going to start using video – the real question is what’s the fastest way to get up to speed with online video for marketing? HOW do you harness it’s power to build traffic right away?

Two choices I can wholeheartedly recommend: the coaching program, as I’ve already mentioned, and a new monthly ‘done-for-you’ video creation service that creates professional videos for you each month at an extremely affordable rate. But to get these custom marketing videos made for you, you’ll have to act quickly – they’re only opening the doors to the site for four days starting next week.

Jump on this pending opportunity right now by joining the pre-launch information list so that you have the best chance of being one of the lucky ones to get a new video made just for you each month at rock-bottom prices for top-shelf videos. You can check here to see if you’re in time…

And either way, be sure to check out the details of the PowerStart Marketing Coaching Series – video is just one of the ways to drive massive traffic online, and you’ll want to now how to create videos and all the related ways to drive traffic as well!

You KNOW you need video to keep up now – so what’s it going to be? Which way will YOU use video to drive targeted traffic to your sites, blogs, squeeze pages and affiliate marketing links?
