In the history of commerce the hottest marketing spots are the locations where the most people can be found, whether it’s the town square, bazaar, train station, airport, MySpace, YouTube or Twitter.

There are more than 75 million videos on YouTube, for instance, and when these videos go viral they register more than 50 million views per video. And while many Americans know how to use YouTube to share videos with family and friends very few understand how to harness the power of YouTube to earn money, market yourself, connect with customers, and grow your business.

The secrets of how to capitalize on the world’s most popular video-sharing website is now shared in a new book, How to Make Money with YouTube by Brad and Debra Schepp.

One of the most valuable features of How To Make Money With YouTube are real-life success stories from video marketers who used the site to promote products and services.

One of my clients, Mr. Duey, a rapping school teacher who uses rap music to teach kids math, science and history, is also featured in the book. His video, “Mr. Duey Fractions” is featured on Teacher Tube which is like YouTube but it’s for teachers, parents and students. The “Fractions” video is now one of the top ten all time most viewed videos on TeacherTube with 540,000 views. The exposure has led to CD sales, media coverage and other exciting opportunities for Kaas Records and Mr. Duey.

Another method mentioned in the book is the use of video book trailers as part of a book marketing campaign and to obtain book publicity. A book trailer is like a movie trailer in that it allows someone to preview a book. A video book trailer brings the book to life and gives the potential reader a sneak peak at the contents of the book.
