Sneaky Affiliate Tricks

Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it’s really hard to get started. The reason is because there is a lot of competition. The challenge is to try and outdo other affiliates and think of ways to do a better job promoting. It’s also hard to figure out what to do because there’s a lot of information out there. But here’s one tip that almost no one is talking about.

Affiliate videos

The power of video is undeniable. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. It’s so much easier to keep people’s attention with video. So using it in your affiliate promotions is a no-brainer!

Here are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:

  • Record your testimonial
  • Record a walk-through
  • Record the order process
  • Do a preview video

Record your testimonial

This is probably the easiest of all. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. Don’t worry about quality. 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.

Record a walk-through

This is a great way to promote something without selling it. Make this more like a tutorial helping them use the product. And while they watch you use it, they think, “I should buy that.” If the product is useful, watching the tutorial makes them want to buy it. So pick some really helpful aspect of the product and show how to use that.

Record the order process

This one is killer! Record yourself placing an order. There is nothing more motivating than watching someone buy something live. First of all it’s what’s called “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 don’t forget about the need to “keep up with the Joneses”. People want what they see you getting. To really cap this one off, end your video with: If you want to see the inside, you’ll have to order it yourself.

Sneak peak

Here’s an easy way to show the value of the product. What you do is record a tour of the back end. And show them everything they get by ordering. This one also helps to remove the skepticism. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.

It’s easy!

No special skills are required. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. The software really does all the work So please don’t let technical worries slow you down. Just focus on the benefits:

  • Increase sales You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. People like video, so start using it.
