Affiliate Video Branding

Now YOU can use our ridiculously easy video tool to make your affiliate commissions explode through the roof...and here's the most ingenious part--

You DON'T even have to make your own videos!

Dear Internet Entrepreneur,

This is NOT just another web page telling you that "video is hot".

I know that you ALREADY know that, so I won’t waste your time trying to convince you of something you are well aware of...

However, what I have to show you about video is very different than what you’ve been told and it will change how you think about marketing with video from this point on.

It’s not your fault, but you’ve been leaving commissions on the table unknowingly and I have to break some news to you that’s a little shocking...

Affiliate Marketers Have Been Kept Out-of-the-Loop
And Prevented From Prospering With Online Video!

You heard me correctly...

Up to this point, video has been for the makers of the videos who control them and show them to put money into their own pockets -- only.

I'm sure you've seen videos embedded on sales pages, or linked from them. Those videos were created by the product vendors to promote and/or demonstrate their products, BUT as an affiliate you could not use those videos as a marketing tool BECAUSE there was no way to make sales commissions directly from them.

That one important element was left out of the video puzzle for some reason. There was no concrete way for you to refer a sale by simply showing a video - UNTIL NOW.

In the marketing world, a lot of videos are still being used as "testimonials or talking head presentations" up to this point...

But that's not nearly the full potential of using online video - not even close.

In fact, our market tests prove that using targeted video pages helps focus the viewer 100% on the message and the content.

Protecting your sample flv video from being download

Problem:
I have a video clip to be posted in my server for client approval before doing the final duplication in DVD, and I do not want them to download it without my knowledge (that is the file must not be access by direct url). The video file is compressed into flv format. (videoclip1313adw.flv)

I spent many late night doing the testing and check in the web for the solution but unable to find a direct simple soluntion. Until now I finally found a way to do.

Solution:
For the soluntion to work I would need to have 2 domain name.

Step 1: Creating the file where the client can access to view the flv video.
I name this file as "video.html" and save it in my main domain (which is www.wedding-dv.com)

Minimum html for it to work are: ( all the html tag is replace from "<" to "[" ) [!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"]
[html lang="en"]
[head]
[title]video[/title]
[/head]
[body]
[script src="http://www.snhvolunteer.com/viz/video.js" type="text/javascript"]
[/script]
[/body]
[/html]

-------
end of video.html

Note the javascript file at "http://www.snhvolunteer.com/viz/video.js". This is the file to direct the swf and the flv file location.

Next the javascript file "video.js" and save it in the other domain (http://www.snhvolunteer.com/test/viz/video.js):

document.write (' [embed src="http://wedding-dv.com/flvplayer/flvplayer.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"');
document.write (' flashvars="&displayheight=480&file=http://www.wedding-dv.com/video/videoclip1313adw.flv&height=272&width=480" height="272" width="480"][/embed]');

------
end of video.js

The filename for the video clip is select in a way that other can't guess it.


Step 2: Now the part where you will control the access by ".htaccess"

".htaccess" for the directory: http://www.snhvolunteer.com/test/viz where the javascript file video.js is located:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?wedding-dv.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(js)$ - [F,L]

----
end of ".htaccess" for the http://www.snhvolunteer.com/viz

the "RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?wedding-dv.com/ [NC]" is a condition check. The video.js file is denial access if it is not access through the domain name http://www.wedding-dv.com. This prevent direct url to view the content of the video.js file.

Step 3: using ".htaccess" to prevent listing of directory if there is no index file (may not need if you have an index file in the directory where the "videoclip1313adw.flv" file is store.

IndexIgnore *

----
end of ".htaccess" for the http://www.wedding-dv.com/video/

Step 4: test that the video.js is protected from direct url access by http://www.snhvolunteer.com/viz/video.js

That it is. A video file sample will not be download by hiding it location and filename thru javascript file and access protection using .htaccess rewrite function.

got the inspiration from
http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess.shtml

Con:
There 1 major weakness, if the files can still be seen in the internet explorer "Temporary Internet Folder". Special thanks for Richard for point out to me.
