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. It’s also hard to figure out what to do because there’s a lot of information out there. Here’s one trick that almost no one else is using.
Affiliate videos
The power of video is undeniable. Video online is everywhere because people love it. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. So using it in your affiliate promotions is a no-brainer!
Examples of how to use video for affiliate marketing:
- Record your testimonial
- Do a video walk-through
- Ordering
- Sneak peak
Testimonials
It doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. It doesn’t have to be professional or polished. Listening to your honest endorsement makes your viewers feel comfortable buying. In truth, mistakes and mess-ups just make it more believable. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. And if you don’t want to show your face, use one of the next ideas.
Do a video walk-through
This is a great way to promote something without selling it. Make this more like a tutorial helping them use the product. And seeing it being used is a great way to make people want to buy it. If it’s useful, then what you’re teaching just makes people want it. So pick some really helpful aspect of the product and show how to use that.
Record the order process
This one is killer! Record yourself placing an order. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First of all it’s what’s called “social proof”. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. Second, it builds trust. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it yourself. And finally, it creates envy. They see you getting the satisfaction of making the purchase and that makes them want it. You can add additional juice to this one with: In order to get to see the inside, you gotta buy the product.
Sneak peak
Here’s an easy way to show the value of the product. You do a tour of the members area. They get to see everything they’ll receive when they order. And it helps soften the skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.
You can do this!
No special skills are required. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. 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:
- Make more money You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. People love video, so please use them.
- Lower refund rates Less of your commissions will be clawed back, too. Now they know what they get before they purchase. So they’ll be less likely to refund.
- Rise above the competition! This is a really easy thing to do. But only a very small percentage do it. So, you’ll be way ahead of the crowd.
Get started right now and take your affiliate marketing to the next level. It’s your profit that’s affected by not taking action.
