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. 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

You can’t deny that video is powerful. Video online is everywhere because people love it. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. So you can put this to great advantage in your affiliate marketing.

Here’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:

• Do a testimonial video
• Do a video walk-through
• Do an ordering video
• Record a preview of the members area

Record your testimonial

This is probably the easiest of all. Simply turn on your recorder and talk. It doesn’t have to be professional or polished. Seeing a real person on the other end helps your viewers make a buying decision. 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. Basically you’re doing a tutorial on how to use the product. And seeing it being used is a great way to make people want to buy it. If the product is useful, watching the tutorial makes them want to buy 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. 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 finally, it creates envy. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. 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

Here’s an easy way to show the value of the product. You do a tour of the members area. And show them everything they get by ordering. 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. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. The software really does all the work So please don’t let technical worries slow you down. Just focus on the benefits:

• Make more money You will increase your affiliate sales when you start using videos. Start using videos because people love them.
• Less refunds Less of your commissions will be clawed back, too. Thanks to you people know what’s inside before buying. So less of them will ask for refunds.

So get serious about your affiliate business and add video in now. Not using video is detrimental to you business. So do it!
