Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it’s really hard to get started. This is because there are already a lot of people doing it. What you need to do is come up with methods no one else is using. 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.

Marketing with video

No one would deny the power and popularity of video. People love watching videos and that’s why they’re everywhere. It’s so much easier to keep people’s attention with video. 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
• Record the order process
• Do a preview video

Do a testimonial video

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Simply turn on your recorder 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. And honestly, if you mess up it just makes it seem more authentic. 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.

Record a walk-through

This technique works slightly more subconsciously. Make this more like a tutorial helping them 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 pick some really helpful aspect of the product and show how to use that.

Record the order process

This one is killer! Do a screen capture of the ordering process. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. In the first place it acts as social proof. Once they see you doing it, they feel more secure. It also build your viewers trust. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it yourself. And let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. It’s simple – you have it. Now they want it. You can add additional juice to this one with: In order to get to see the inside, you gotta buy the product.

Do a preview video

This is a great way to build value. You do a tour of the members area. 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!

You don’t need any special training for this. 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:

• More sales Using videos in your affiliate marketing will dramatically increase your sales. Start using videos because people love them.
• Lower refund rates You’ll lose less of the commission your earn. Now they know what they get before they purchase. So less of them will ask for refunds.
• Outdo your competitors! This is a really easy thing to do. But pretty much no one does it. This puts you out in front of the rest.

Get started right now and take your affiliate marketing to the next level. Not using video is detrimental to you business. So do it!
