Have you been perusing the KickLight website and you saw some cool kicks with Amazon products? Thankfully for the graphically challenged you don’t have to mess with positioning images, sweating over researching products prices or inputting your Amazon links. With the Quick Kicks function you can create visually appealing, accurate and affiliate linked Amazon kicks. And now with this Amazon kicks tutorial video you can learn how easy it is to create these types of kicks.

These particular kicks can be powerful, especially if the viewer is in a mood to click and buy. There are so many types of products within Amazon.com that you will not have a problem finding a product to offer through your kicklights. When it comes to making loads of money all you have to do is plug these videos into your traffic funnel and watch the sales pour in. That is assuming of course you have a flow of traffic to work with and that they will click through the kicks. However, even with a 3-5% click through rate if you have the views you should be making some sales. Whether or not you make “loads” of money is entirely up to you but with the power of clickable kicks viewers are much more likely to click and visit the product pages.

Enjoy this short but informative video about how to build sleek Amazon kicklight kicks. Feel free to leave comments if you have any questions.

Here is my newest kicklight. I just finished it yesterday. The YouTube and Twitter star iJustine has produced over 250 videos, so she has a lot of videos to convert to a kicklight. This video is from two years ago so I thought it would be fun to revisit and hopefully enhance with some kicks. Let me know what you think.

If you are new to the Kicklight concept you might be wondering what constitutes a kicklight. Talk about a fundamental question. A kicklight is a video with kicks. It’s that simple and I’m sure you feel completely enlightened. Actually let me elaborate a bit more.

Take a video and slap kicks underneath them and you’ve got a kicklight. Kicks are small jpg, gif or png graphics that you create with a graphics program like Photoshop. These kicks are then put together with a video to build a complete video viewing experience. If you are the producer of the video you can now include kicks to enhance the video with additional information and/or images. In addition kicks can have links attached to them which you the video producer will include.

If you upload videos to YouTube you know the only place to put a clickable link is in the description area of the YouTube video page. What are the chances your video viewers will click that link? You would have to bring a lot of eyes to your video for a decent amount of clicks. Now with kicklights viewers will become accustomed to clicking on the kicks, and you can even include directions on the kicks directing viewers to click them.

Just like YouTube kicklights have embed codes for blogs and other websites. This code carries both the video and the kicks, which of course have all the links included within the kicks. Therefore if you have a blog you can include a kicklight for all your viewers to watch and click. As a video watcher you can enjoy the entire kicklight outside of the Kicklight site. When the video is served outside of the Kicklight site the video is a bit smaller, just like YouTube videos.

I don’t think every video will end up having kicks attached to it for a variety of reasons. Some videos just don’t need any additional information, they are much more visual or tell a story without the need of narration or background. Also the added work of creating five, ten or more individual kicks will be a barrier for many people. However, I think a healthy portion of creative and entrepreneurial people will invest the time to create kicklights not just videos.

I hope this article has sufficiently outlined what a kicklight is and that it may have peaked your interest. If so then go forth and make some powerful kicklights. Here is a kicklight I had a lot of fun making, for obvious reasons.

One of the first kicklights I created was a very funny reenactment by Brandon Hardesty of a scene from the movie There Will Be Blood. I had stumbled on his videos while clicking through YouTube and thought one of his creations would be a good video for a kicklight. I wanted to enhance the video by offering general information about Brandon for those that may not know him while utilizing the linking capabilities of the kicks. Since this video is a reenactment of a popular movie I included some information about the movie as well as links to the Amazon page for the DVD.

This kicklight is a perfect example of how a very succesful YouTube content producer could use kicks to dramatically increase their revenue. As of the writing of this post this video has been viewed more than 73,000 times. If kicks had been attached to that video Brandon could potentially make some serious sales.

Let’s say only one percent of viewers had clicked through to the Amazon page (I actually think this is a low click through rate). That would be approxiametely 730 people who are at least interested in knowing more about this movie. Of those 730 if only three percent made a purchase that would be almost 22 sales. While a DVD is not a high ticket item the bottom line is that kicks can drive more visitiors to money pages. Also consider that Brandon has made 97 videos as of this post, with many of his other reenactments receiving hundreds of thousands of views per video. Using my minimal math skills those numbers could add up to some monster sales totals.

I truly believe that people who consistently produce online videos on YouTube and have a large following could benefit greatly with kicks. For now they would have to send visitors over to the Kicklight website.  In the future if Google does purchase Kicklight I’m sure kicks will be integrated into the YouTube site, which will make the entire process smoother for viewers and producers.

Thanks for reading and good luck with your kicks!
