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
You can’t deny that video is powerful. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. About the only thing that keeps people’s attention anymore is video. So using it in your affiliate promotions is a no-brainer!
Here’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:
- Testimonials
- Record a walk-through
- Record the order process
- Do a preview video
Do a testimonial video
It doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. It doesn’t have to be professional or polished. Seeing a real person on the other end helps your viewers make a buying decision. And honestly, if you mess up it just makes it seem more authentic. 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.
Do a video walk-through
This technique works slightly more subconsciously. You’re taking the role of teacher and showing how to use the product. And while they watch you use it, they think, “I should buy that.” As long as the product is good, the tutorial makes them want it. So just make sure you’re demoing a good product.
Ordering
This one is killer! Record yourself placing an order. Watching you make a live purchase will inspire your viewer like nothing else. In the first place it acts as social proof. Once they see you doing it, they feel more secure. It also build your viewers trust. People believe you’re giving them good advice if you take that advice yourself. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. People want what they see you getting. You can add some extra punch to this by ending with: If you want to see the inside, you’ll have to order it yourself.
Record a preview of the members area
This is a great way to build value. You do a tour of the members area. And show them everything they get by ordering. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.
You can do this!
There’s no technical knowledge required. There are simple software programs that make it easy to create videos. Really, the software does all the work. So there’s no need to even think about the technical side. Keep focused on the rewards:
