Video marketing
You can’t deny that video is powerful. People love watching videos and that’s why they’re everywhere. About the only thing that keeps people’s attention anymore is video. So using it in your affiliate promotions is a no-brainer!
Here are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:
- Record your testimonial
- Do a video walk-through
- Ordering
- Do a preview video
Do a testimonial video
This one is super simple. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. It doesn’t have to be professional or polished. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. In truth, mistakes and mess-ups just make it more believable. So serious, just turn on the camera and talk. Use one of the other ideas if you’re feeling shy.
Do a video walk-through
This one is a little more subtle. Make this more like a tutorial helping them use the product. And seeing it being used is a great way to make people want to buy it. 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.
Do an ordering video
This technique is super powerful. Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. There is nothing more motivating than watching someone buy something live. In the first place it acts as 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 let’s not forget about good old fashioned envy. They see you getting the satisfaction of making the purchase and that makes them 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.
Do a preview video
This is a great way to build value. 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. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.
Anyone can do it!
There’s no technical knowledge required. Anyone can create stunning videos with some easy-to-use software. All the work is done by the program. So you don’t have to worry about the technical part of this at all. Keep focused on the rewards:
