Amazon Affiliate Video Widget
Amazon have yet another new widget to help boost your affiliate commissions and monetize your site. If you know how to create a video and upload it to the web then you’ll love the awesome new Amazon Video Widget.
Once your video is uploaded to your Amazon Associates back office the Amazon ads ARE NOT automatically embedded into your video. You need to select your product ads but don’t worry I”ll walk you through this. 
Similar service are Google Video Ads but I personally do not like the appearance of the embedded AdSense contextual ads. Also Revver which I use and prefer. Now I’ll be using Amazon’s Video Widgets after all Amazon is a trusted shopping site that people love to visit and they will most likely be more attentive to the ads than some random little known web sites that most other video sites serve.
I don’t know about you but when I see an Amazon link I find them of value and not an intrusive welcoming feature on web sites and bogs.
How To Add Products To Your Video Widget
Hey this is new Amazon gives me FULL control over where, when and what products appear in my video. Now that’s cool. I know exactly what product ads will be featured giving me complete control and allowing me to keep a quality control. All too often I have seen ads irrelevant ads or competitive ads in my Revver videos. Give the nature of Amazon merchandise this seems a good fit for affiliates.
Once your video has ended you can…
“add more products by replaying the video and adding
products where you want”
You can then “Save and Preview” your video and product settings a “Add to my Web page” for a pop up window opens presenting you with your code to embed into your web pages or blogs.
You also have MANY MORE widgets to help monetize your web sites. If you’re interested in finding more about Amazon’s Associates program sign up here for free so you too can plug into their innovative selection of affiliate resources.
I’ve created a quick demonstration video to show you how easy it is to upload your videos to Amazon to embed with product ads. If you’re using an RSS news reader and can’t see the video below just go directly to my blog to watch.

Not bad for an amateur LOL. What are you waiting for?
Head on down to Amazon and get started. Just remember to read through the Terms and Conditions to make sure your video is suitable and is not in breach of any copyright laws.
Good luck all,
