In today's environment, it's becoming more and more important to "show and not tell" people your message. Using video to show someone your product benefits is quickly becoming the norm online.
People learn faster from watching something, and a video message is much friendlier than a cold list of instructions. YouTube is the de-facto home site for all "How To" videos. Browsing through the content, you'll find many videos that end with a pitch for a web site for more details. Crude, but effective.
Check out Camtasia Studio 5 from TechSmith. They offer a 30 day free trial of their product along with tons of video training.
Ironically, they don't market their products directly through affiliate channels. There is a way around it though. You can sign up with a TechSmith reseller that offers the product. I use PC Mall and they offer a considerable discount off the $399 list price on TechSmith's website.
Where there's a will there's a way!
