Sneaky Affiliate Tricks
It is extremely difficult to get started in affiliate marketing. This is because there are already a lot of people doing it. What you need to do is come up with methods no one else is using. There’s also a lot of information out there about how to do affiliate marketing, so it can be confusing. But here’s one tip that almost no one is talking about.
Affiliate videos
No one would deny the power and popularity of video. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. About the only thing that keeps people’s attention anymore is 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
- Do an ordering video
- Sneak peak
Testimonials
This one is super simple. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. It does not need to be polished or pro. 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. You really can just click record and start talking. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy.
Do a video walk-through
This technique works slightly more subconsciously. 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 pick some really helpful aspect of the product and show how to use that.
Ordering
This could be the most powerful method of all. Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. There is nothing more motivating than watching someone buy something live. In the first place it acts as social proof. Once they see you doing it, they feel more secure. Second, it builds trust. Your advice is easier to trust if they can see you’re doing what you tell them to do. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. You can add additional juice to this one with: If you want to see the inside, you’ll have to order it yourself.
Do a preview video
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. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.
You can do this!
You don’t need any special training for this. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. Really, the software does all the work. So there’s no need to even think about the technical side. Just focus on the benefits:
- Make more money You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. People love video, so please use them.
- Lower refund rates You’ll also have less of your commissions taken back. Thanks to you people know what’s inside before buying. So less of them will ask for refunds.
- Rise above the competition! This is such a simple technique. But pretty much no one does it. That puts you ahead of the pack.
So get serious about your affiliate business and add video in now. Not using video is detrimental to you business. So do it!
