Yes affiliate marketing rocks, but it's really hard to get started. The reason is because there is a lot of competition. 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. But here’s one tip that almost no one is talking about.

Affiliate videos

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!

Here are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:

• Testimonials
• Do a video walk-through
• Ordering
• Do a preview video

Record your testimonial

This is probably the easiest of all. Just click record on your web cam and start talking. It does not need to be polished or pro. 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.

Walk-throughs

This one is a little more subtle. Basically you’re doing a tutorial on how to use the product. And while they watch you use it, they think, “I should buy that.” If it’s useful, then what you’re teaching just makes people want it. So just make sure you’re demoing a good product.

Do an ordering video

This could be the most powerful method of all. Record yourself placing an order. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. First, it’s social proof. In general people are more likely to something they’ve seen other people do. It also build your viewers trust. They are much more likely to take your advice to buy when you’ve taken it yourself. And finally, it creates envy. They see you getting the satisfaction of making the purchase and that makes them want it. You can add additional juice to this one 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. What you do is record a tour of the back end. They get to see everything they’ll receive when they order. And it helps soften the skeptics. Once they’ve seen the back-end, they know it’s real.

Anyone can do it!

You don’t need any special training for this. There are simple software programs that make it easy to create videos. All the work is done by the program. 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.
• Less refunds You’ll also have less of your commissions taken back. Thanks to you people know what’s inside before buying. So, very few of them will cancel their order.
• Rise above the competition! This is a really easy thing to do. But pretty much no one does it. That puts you ahead of the pack.

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