Earn Money With Your Smartphone
I love making video tutorials for my affiliate marketing business, and know many people who are using video to market their businesses. This is a smart move because there are so many advantages of using video, with the main advantage being profit. Video greatly boosts sales and conversion, and is also a great way to optimize search engine optimization. Why do you think video enhances SEO?
Because visitors will spend longer on your site if you include videos. This lowers your bounce rate, sending a message to Google that people are finding your content valuable, and staying on your site longer. Videos are an effective way to promote your brand and build trust with your tribe. Businesses are built on trust so this is no small issue.
Video enables you to create relationships with those you’re marketing to. If they can actually see and hear you, and you’re delivering helpful information, they’ll keep coming back for more. And they’ll tell others about you too!

Promoting Products and Services To Customers
You can easily convey your message through the medium of video, which makes promoting your products and services simpler than merely blogging. Blogging and video, used simultaneously, is a great combination to help you scale your business. Let’s say you write a blog post on a product or service you’re promoting, and you augment your post by including a video, demonstrating how the product works. Your visitors are more likely to buy because of your dual effect.
Couple these advantages with the fact that many people are just too lazy to read, but will watch or listen to a video, extending your reach. People are more likely to share a video to social media than they are an article or blog post. With everyone on their phones 24/7, you can use this to your advantage by creating videos that people can easily listen to, without necessarily, having to view them. I know I listen to videos when I’m multi-tasking. Whether your videos are watched or listened to, you’re getting your message out there.

On the left sidebar are seven icons. Here’s what they do:
You’ll want to begin by adding your media after you’ve given KineMaster permission to access your camera. See the “Media” button above.
My favorite feature is the ability KineMaster gives you to split and trim your video. See below. It’s just a matter of dragging the yellow box to the left or right depending on where you want to trim. You can also crop, rotate, add color filters and graphics, and adjust the color. Click on any of the icons on the right to be taken to a screen to further customize.
To the left of the middle button on the original screen, you’ll see a store button that takes you to the Asset Store where you can download lots of goodies.
As you can see below, the ribbon icon at the top will show the variety of stickers that are offered. The FX tab, bow tie and heart icons offer other options to make your videos pop. Some of these options are only available for Premium users.
There’s an endless array of overlays, animations, fonts, and audio assets to choose from.
I love the text options under the “T” tab. Look how great:
And, of course, there’s the audio icon where you can add music or sound effects to your video.
Here’s a closer look at the editing screen. It’s a lot of fun customizing your videos with the many features KineMaster offers.
Press the text button to add text. See how I just added some?
You’ll be able to customize your text in a variety of ways. Experiment with different fonts, colors, and animations. See below:
Look at all the transitions you’ll have access to. You can see they are added in between clips.
The “Project Settings” tab lets you further customize volume and fades for both audio and video.
And finally, you can name, export, and share your video after choosing the quality you’d like.

KineMaster offers both a free and paid subscription. The free, or trial mode, is unlimited for personal and noncommercial use, but comes with limited features. A watermark, “Made with KineMaster,” will also appear on all your videos. You can pay monthly or annually if you opt for the paid subscription, but you’ll save money by paying yearly.
Those using a paid subscription will have access to the KineMaster Asset Store, and can take advantage of the additional visual effects, professional royalty-free music, and overlays that it offers, with new assets being added regularly. And there’s the option to download additional fonts if you’d like.
A monthly subscription is $4.99 a month, with an annual subscription of $39.99. This is a good deal since KineMaster is one of the top 50 video editing platforms out there.
