Marketing with video
No one would deny the power and popularity of video. The reason it’s so pervasive is because everyone loves 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 are a few ideas for creating affiliate videos:
- Do a testimonial video
- Walk-throughs
- Ordering
- Sneak peak
Testimonials
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. 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. You really can just click record and start talking. If you don’t want to be in front of the camera use one of the other methods.
Do a video walk-through
This is a great way to promote something without selling it. You’re taking the role of teacher and showing how to 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 just make sure you’re demoing a good product.
Ordering
This technique is super powerful. Do a screen capture of the ordering process. There is nothing more motivating than watching someone buy something live. First, it’s social proof. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. This also makes your viewers trust you. Your advice is easier to trust if they can see you’re doing what you tell them to do. 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.
Sneak peak
This one is perfect for building up the value of what you’re promoting. You do a tour of the members area. And show them everything they get by ordering. And it helps soften the skeptics. It’s much easier to trust they’re getting something if they actually seen it.
