Neil Shearing’s Internet Marketing Strategies

Affiliate Video Rebrander allows you to “rip” movie content from a webpage and wrap your own links above and below it… and even use your own auto-redirect link to end the movie!

In a test I just did, I downloaded one of my own movies. I took this movie… and rebranded it to this. You can see that I added links to the top and bottom of the movie.

AVB even has the ability to end the movie prematurely and jump to a URL of your choice. In doing so, you can bypass the redirect link which may already be embedded in the movie. Say, for example, the movie was 5 mins 22 seconds long and had an embedded redirect at the end. Using AVB you could just set your redirect link for 5 mins 20 seconds and the viewer would redirect through your link, not the embedded one.

As with most powerful tools, this one can be used for both good purposes and bad. I can see how it’s a boon to affiliates who could use merchant-generated movies (with permission) to promote products. I can also see how it could be a possible bane to merchants who want to sell access to products consisting of movie-related instructions. In fact, within the application you’re required to check a box saying you have permission to download the movie you want before it will happen.

Let’s focus on the positive side. The software comes with the ability to put your links above and below movies from YouTube and Google Video (so-called “streaming videos” that are actually hosted on YouTube and Google’s servers) as well as “embedded” movies such as the one I used as an example above.

You can easily find movies in any niche and use Affiliate Video Brander to “wrap” your affiliate link around them. Your links could be to a “how to” ebook related to the movie, or an affiliate link to the a DVD at your favorite retailer wrapped around a clip from a music video. The possibilites are endless.
