Sneaky Affiliate Tricks

It is extremely difficult to get started in affiliate marketing. This is because there are already a lot of people doing it. What you need to do is come up with methods no one else is using. 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.

Video marketing

The power of video is undeniable. 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!

Examples of how to use video for affiliate marketing:

• Testimonials
• Record a walk-through
• Ordering
• Record a preview of the members area

Testimonials

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply turn on your recorder 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. In truth, mistakes and mess-ups just make it more believable. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy.

Walk-throughs

This one is a little more subtle. 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.

Record the order process

This technique is super powerful. 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. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it yourself. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. They see you getting the satisfaction of making the purchase and that makes them want it. 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.

Sneak peak

This is a great way to build value. You do a tour of the members area. And show them everything they get by ordering. And it helps soften the skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.

Anyone can do it!

There’s no technical knowledge required. There are simple software programs that make it easy to create videos. All the work is done by the program. So you don’t have to worry about the technical part of this at all. Keep focused on the rewards:

• Make more money You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. People love video, so please use them.
• Reduce refunds Less of your commissions will be clawed back, too. Your customers will know what they’re getting into ahead of time. So they’ll be less likely to refund.
• Beat your competition! Adding video is so simple. But only a very small percentage do it. This puts you out in front of the rest.

So get serious about your affiliate business and add video in now. It’s your profit that’s affected by not taking action.
