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

You can’t deny that video is powerful. People love watching videos and that’s why they’re everywhere. Keeping people’s attention is so much easier using videos. So using it in your affiliate promotions is a no-brainer!

Here’s how to use videos for affiliate promotions:

• Testimonials
• Do a video walk-through
• Record the order process
• Do a preview video

Record your testimonial

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Just turn on your web cam and talk. Don’t worry about quality. 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.

Record a walk-through

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, obviously, pick a good product to demo.

Ordering

People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. It also build your viewers 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. To really cap this one off, end your video with: If you want to see the inside, you’ll have to order it yourself.

Record a preview of the members area

This one is perfect for building up the value of what you’re promoting. In this case you record a screen share of the inside of the product. They get to see everything they’ll receive when they order. And it helps soften the skeptics. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.
