When short-form video became the trend — from TikTok to YouTube Shorts — I noticed a common problem: many creators wanted to produce content fast but didn’t know how to edit. That’s exactly why I chose VideoGen, an AI-powered text-to-video tool, as my first affiliate product. To my surprise, within just 6 weeks, I earned my first $350 in affiliate commissions with it.
1. Why I Chose VideoGen
Rising AI Video Trend in 2025 – short-form video is booming.
Clear target audience – affiliate marketers, freelancers, and content creators.
Great commission rates – 30–40% per sale. With just 10 customers, you can already earn a few hundred dollars.
2. My Strategy
👉 Step 1: Content creation (blog reviews & guides)
Blog post: “What is VideoGen? How to Create AI Videos in 10 Minutes”
Blog post: “VideoGen vs. Pictory: Which is Better for TikTok Creators?”
Each blog included a CTA like: “Try VideoGen here” (affiliate link).
👉 Step 2: Leverage social media
Created short videos with VideoGen itself and posted on TikTok with captions like “How AI video can help you make money online.”
Shared blogs in Facebook groups (affiliate marketing & freelancing).
👉 Step 3: Small email marketing funnel
Collected emails via a lead magnet (“Get 5 Free AI Tools for Affiliates”).
Sent 2 follow-up emails: one with quick video-making tips, another with a VideoGen tutorial.
3. The Results
~2,800 visitors to my blog in 6 weeks (70% from social, 30% from Google).
21 free trial signups → 10 paid users.
Average commission: $35/sale → $350 earned via Impact dashboard.
Fun fact: 3 of those customers came directly from TikTok videos I made using VideoGen — proving the product could market itself.
4. Key Lessons Learned
Pick a trending product (AI + short video = perfect combo in 2025).
A case study is far more convincing than a dry product review.
Small but focused traffic (blogs + TikTok + FB groups) still converts.
Combining blog + social + email creates a traffic & conversion loop.
5. My Advice for Beginners
If you’re just starting in affiliate marketing, choose a product with:
✅ Growing trend (AI, SaaS, video, etc.)
✅ Clear audience (creators, freelancers, marketers)
✅ Attractive commission (30%+)
Then focus on telling a real story and personal experience instead of copy-pasting product descriptions. Customers trust authenticity — and that’s exactly how I earned my first $350 with VideoGen.
