Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it’s really hard to get started. The reason is because there is a lot of competition. 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. Well, here’s on simple thing you can do that will put you ahead of the game.

Video marketing

The power of video is undeniable. 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’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:

• Testimonials
• Walk-throughs
• Do an ordering video
• Sneak peak

Do a testimonial video

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. 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. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy.

Do a video walk-through

This is a great way to promote something without selling it. 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, obviously, pick a good product to demo.

Record the order process

This technique is super powerful. 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”. In general people are more likely to something they’ve seen other people do. 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. 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

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. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.

It’s easy!

There’s no technical knowledge required. There are simple software programs that make it easy to create videos. All the work is done by the program. So you don’t have to worry about the technical part of this at all. Just focus on the benefits:

• Increase sales Using videos in your affiliate marketing will dramatically increase your sales. Start using videos because people love them.
• Reduce refunds You’ll lose less of the commission your earn. Your customers will know what they’re getting into ahead of time. So less of them will ask for refunds.
• Outdo your competitors! This is such a simple technique. But pretty much no one does it. So, you’ll be way ahead of the crowd.

Take your affiliate promotions to a higher level and getting started with this now. It’s your profit that’s affected by not taking action.
