Sneaky Affiliate Tricks

Affiliate marketing can be very difficult to break into. This is because there are already a lot of people doing it. 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. Well, here’s on simple thing you can do that will put you ahead of the game. Video marketing You can’t deny that video is powerful. People love watching videos and that’s why they’re everywhere. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. 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.  This one is super simple. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. It doesn’t have to be professional or polished. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. And honestly, if you mess up it just makes it seem more authentic. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy. Record a walk-through.  This technique works slightly more subconsciously. Basically you’re doing a tutorial on how to use the product. And while they watch you use it, they think, “I should buy that.” If it’s useful, then what you’re teaching just makes people want it. So just make sure you’re demoing a good product.  Record the order process.  This one is killer! Record yourself placing an order. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. In the first place it acts as social proof. Once they see you doing it, they feel more secure. This also makes your viewers trust you. 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”. It’s simple – you have it. Now they 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.  Record a preview of the members area.  This is a great way to build value. What you do is record a tour of the back end. You show them the entire contents of what they get. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.  It’s easy!  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 you don’t have to worry about the technical part of this at all. Remain focused on the benefits:  More sales .. You will increase your affiliate sales  when you start using videos. People love video, so please use them.  Less refunds  You’ll also have less of your commissions taken back. Now they know what they get before they purchase. So less of them will ask for refunds.  Rise above the competition!  This is such a simple technique. But only a very small percentage do it. So, you’ll be way ahead of the crowd.  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!
