Hair Braiding: How Hair Braiding Videos Padded My Pockets
- 7 Comment
Hair and Fashion have a huge market place online. Do a web search for Hair Braids or Hair Braiding or Braids By Breslin to see how…
A couple of years ago, I advertised on BlackAtlanta.com for a company called “Braids By Breslin”. The banners did not really have a very high click through rate for the general population of site visitors. However, I quickly noticed in the stats that the term “Hair Braiding” was quickly becoming very popular as far as natural organic traffic for the site.
This was because of some ancillary content that I had added as a landing page for the terms.
So I contacted Braids By Breslin by email, and coincidentally, they were starting an Affiliate program. I was their first affiliate.
For months, I enjoyed easy affiliate commissions from natural search engine traffic for “Hair Braiding”, and was even able to tweak search engine optimization for other keywords like “hair weaving” or “Kinky Twists”. And then the GOOGLE flip out occurred. Google flopped on me and my stream of revenue went down the drain.
Some Key Learnings
- Search engine optimization is a GREAT way for free traffic opportunities. It is also VERY direct, in that the end user is definitely looking for your product or service.
- However, when Organic traffic is the ONLY source, if SEO efforts flop, then one should be prepared to supplement traffic in other ways.
A Solid Hair Braiding Product
Another key learning opportunity was basically that, you should promote strong products. In this case, promoting an affiliate program, with strong products. Here are some high quality Hair Braiding Examples!
With The Complete Training Package, You Get…
The Braids By Breslin “Four Hairstyles In One ” DVD
The Braids By Breslin “Cornrow Compilation” DVD
The Braids By Breslin “Weave Compilation: Volume 1 DVD”
The Braids By Breslin “Weave Compilation: Volume 2 DVD”
The Braids By Breslin “Master Wig Maker DVD”
The Braids By Breslin “Fusion DVD”
And The Braids By Breslin “Extensions” DVD
So,
- Look for a niche in your traffic (Check your Stats!)
- Then look for a product in which you could put in front of that demographic to buy!
Good Luck!

Come to think of it this would probably have great appeal for my niche because we are away from home where haircare is so much cheaper and a lot of the times are getting our hair done by folks who have no idea how to deal with as you say “nappy bair”
