Sneaky Affiliate Tricks
It is extremely difficult to get started in affiliate marketing. And that’s because you have a lot of other affiliates to compete with. The challenge is to try and outdo other affiliates and think of ways to do a better job promoting. And the sea of information about this doesn’t make it any easier. 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. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.
Here are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:
- Record your testimonial
- Do a video walk-through
- Do an ordering video
- Record a preview of the members area
Testimonials
This is probably the easiest of all. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. Don’t worry about quality. Listening to your honest endorsement makes your viewers feel comfortable buying. And the mess-ups or mistakes just make the video more real. You can literally just press record and talk. If you don’t want to be in front of the camera use one of the other methods.
Walk-throughs
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, obviously, pick a good product to demo.
Do an ordering video
This could be the most powerful method of all. Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. 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. Second, it builds 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. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. To really cap this one off, end your video with: In order to get to see the inside, you gotta buy the product.
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. And show them everything they get by ordering. And it helps soften the skeptics. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.
It’s easy!
There’s no technical knowledge required. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. 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:
