Sneaky Affiliate Tricks
Affiliate marketing can be very difficult to break into. And that’s because you have a lot of other affiliates to compete with. In order to survive you have to beat your competition. There’s also a lot of information out there about how to do affiliate marketing, so it can be confusing. Well, here’s on simple thing you can do that will put you ahead of the game.
Affiliate videos
No one would deny the power and popularity of video. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.
Here’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:
- Testimonials
- Record a walk-through
- Do an ordering video
- Do a preview video
Testimonials
This one is super simple. Just turn on your web cam and talk. It does not need to be polished or pro. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. And the mess-ups or mistakes just make the video more real. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. And if you don’t want to show your face, use one of the next ideas.
Walk-throughs
This one is a little more subtle. Basically you’re doing a tutorial on how to use the product. And in the process you’re actually selling the product. If it’s useful, then what you’re teaching just makes people want it. So pick some really helpful aspect of the product and show how to use that.
Ordering
This one is killer! Do a screen capture of the ordering process. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First, it’s social proof. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. It also build your viewers trust. People believe you’re giving them good advice if you take that advice yourself. And finally, it creates envy. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. To really cap this one off, end your video with: You’re gonna have to place your own order if you want to see the members area.
Record a preview of the members area
This one is perfect for building up the value of what you’re promoting. What you do is record a tour of the back end. You show them the entire contents of what they get. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.
Anyone can do it!
There’s no technical knowledge required. Some very easy to use programs make the videos for you. The software really does all the work So there’s no need to even think about the technical side. Remain focused on the benefits:
- Make more money Using videos in your affiliate marketing will dramatically increase your sales. People love video, so please use them.
- Reduce refunds You’ll lose less of the commission your earn. Your customers will know what they’re getting into ahead of time. So, very few of them will cancel their order.
- Beat your competition! This is such a simple technique. But pretty much no one does it. That puts you ahead of the pack.
Get started right now and take your affiliate marketing to the next level. The bottom line is that if you’re not using video, you’re losing money.
