Sneaky Affiliate Tricks

Affiliate marketing can be very difficult to break into. 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. Here’s one trick that almost no one else is using.

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.

Examples of how to use video for affiliate marketing:

• Testimonials
• Record a walk-through
• Record the order process
• Sneak peak

Record your testimonial

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. 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. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. If you don’t want to be in front of the camera use one of the other methods.

Do a video walk-through

This technique works slightly more subconsciously. You’re taking the role of teacher and showing how to use the product. And seeing it being used is a great way to make people want to buy it. As long as the product is good, the tutorial makes them want it. So, obviously, pick a good product to demo.

Ordering

This technique is super powerful. Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First, it’s social proof. In general people are more likely to something they’ve seen other people do. Second, it builds trust. People believe you’re giving them good advice if you take that advice yourself. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. People want what they see you getting. You can add some extra punch to this by ending 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. This one also helps to remove the skepticism. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.

It’s easy!

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

• Make more money You’ll earn more affiliate commissions when you add video. People love video, so please use them.
• Reduce refunds Less of your commissions will be clawed back, too. Thanks to you people know what’s inside before buying. So they’ll be less likely to refund.
• Outdo your competitors! This is such a simple technique. But pretty much no one does it. This puts you out in front of the rest.

Get started right now and take your affiliate marketing to the next level. Not using video is detrimental to you business. So do it!
