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. What you need to do is come up with methods no one else is using. And the sea of information about this doesn’t make it any easier. But here’s one tip that almost no one is talking about.

Marketing with video

You can’t deny that video is powerful. People love watching videos and that’s why they’re everywhere. It’s so much easier to keep people’s attention with video. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.

Examples of how to use video for affiliate marketing:

• Do a testimonial video
• Walk-throughs
• Record the order process
• Do a preview video

Record your testimonial

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Just turn on your web cam and talk. Don’t worry about quality. Listening to your honest endorsement makes your viewers feel comfortable buying. In truth, mistakes and mess-ups just make it more believable. You really can just click record and start talking. And if you don’t want to show your face, use one of the next ideas.

Walk-throughs

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.” As long as the product is good, the tutorial makes them want it. So, obviously, pick a good product to demo.

Record the order process

This one is killer! Do a screen capture of the ordering process. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First of all it’s what’s called “social proof”. In general people are more likely to something they’ve seen other people do. This also makes your viewers trust you. 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. People want what they see you getting. You can add additional juice to this one 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. You do a tour of the members area. They get to see everything they’ll receive when they order. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.

Anyone can do it!

No special skills are required. Some very easy to use programs make the videos for you. Really, the software does all the work. So you don’t have to worry about the technical part of this at all. Just focus on the benefits:

• Increase sales Using videos in your affiliate marketing will dramatically increase your sales. 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 pretty much no one does it. That puts you ahead of the pack.

Take your affiliate promotions to a higher level and getting started with this now. Not using video is detrimental to you business. So do it!
