Tip of the Day – 2 Ways to Get Videos

Videos are an increasingly popular medium to use right now for brand promotion. ShareASale offers two ways for Affiliates to place Merchant videos on their site to help boost potential sales from their customers.

Make-A-Video Tool

Using your own video creatives is easy with our Make-A-Video tool. Once inside, you will upload either your hosted video or use our hosting service for a .MP4 file, up to 25 mb.

You can set up specific details such as:

• Video Title
• Merchant you plan to spotlight
• Click URL on the video to go to the specific page of your choosing
• the Cue Point Sidebar

The Cue Point Sidebar will allow you to set up specific product links from the Merchant you chose that slide out from the video and can then be clicked by the viewer.

For example, if I have a video that is about hockey, then I may want products such as equipment or memorabilia to slide out for my viewers to purchase.

Merchant Created Videos

Even if you aren’t interested in making your own video, there is still an option for you to implement videos. Some Merchants may have already made videos for you and Affiliates can find these by going to the “Videos” tab under the links tab at the top of their homepage.

Once inside, a large list of Merchants will show up. These are all the Merchants who have videos available, the Affiliate can filter to see only the programs they are part of, or join up with other programs once they see the Merchants video previews. 

Affiliates can sort by Merchant category and even the number of videos a Merchant has!
