Sneaky Affiliate Tricks
Affiliate marketing can be very difficult to break into. The reason is because there is a lot of competition. In order to survive you have to beat your competition. And the sea of information about this doesn’t make it any easier. Here’s one trick that almost no one else is using.
Video marketing
The power of video is undeniable. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves it. About the only thing that keeps people’s attention anymore is video. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.
Examples of how to use video for affiliate marketing:
- Record your testimonial
- Record a walk-through
- Record the order process
- Sneak peak
Do a testimonial video
This is probably the easiest of all. Just turn on your web cam and talk. It does not need to be polished or pro. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. In truth, mistakes and mess-ups just make it more believable. 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. Basically you’re doing a tutorial on how to use the product. And in the process you’re actually selling the product. As long as the product is good, the tutorial makes them want it. So just make sure you’re demoing a good product.
Record the order process
This could be the most powerful method of all. Do a screen capture of the ordering process. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First, it’s social proof. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. It also build your viewers trust. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it 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 additional juice to this one 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. In this case you record a screen share of the inside of the product. And show them everything they get by ordering. And it helps soften the skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.
It’s easy!
