Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it’s really hard to get started. 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. And the sea of information about this doesn’t make it any easier. Here’s one trick that almost no one else is using.
Marketing with video
You can’t deny that video is powerful. Video online is everywhere because people love 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.
Here are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:
- Do a testimonial video
- Do a video walk-through
- Record the order process
- Do a preview video
Record your testimonial
It doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. Don’t worry about quality. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. And the mess-ups or mistakes just make the video more real. You can literally just press record 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 one is a little more subtle. You’re taking the role of teacher and showing how to 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, obviously, pick a good product to demo.
Do an ordering video
This one is killer! Record yourself placing an order. There is nothing more motivating than watching someone buy something live. First of all it’s what’s called “social proof”. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. This also makes your viewers trust you. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it yourself. And finally, it creates envy. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. To really cap this one off, end your video with: In order to get to see the inside, you gotta buy the product.
Sneak peak
This is a great way to build value. 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.
Anyone can do it!
There’s no technical knowledge required. There are simple software programs that make it easy to create videos. 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:
- Increase sales You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. Start using videos because people love them.

Take your affiliate promotions to a higher level and getting started with this now. The bottom line is that if you’re not using video, you’re losing money.
