The power of video is undeniable. People love watching videos and that's why they're everywhere. About the only thing that keeps people's attention anymore is video. So why wouldn't you use it in your affiliate business?
Here's how to use videos for affiliate promotions:
Do a testimonial video
Do a video walk-through
Do an ordering video
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. Just seeing another real person endorsing a product helps your viewers decide to buy. And the mess-ups or mistakes just make the video more real. 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. 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. If it's useful, then what you're teaching just makes people want it. So just make sure you're demoing a good product.
Ordering
This could be the most powerful method of all. Record a video of yourself actually buying the product. Nothing inspires your viewers to buy like watching you do it. In the first place it acts as social proof. People will feel more comfortable buying after seeing you do it. Second, it builds 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. To really cap this one off, end your video with: You're gonna have to place your own order if you want to see the members area.
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. It also reduces the reservations of skeptics. It's much easier to trust they're getting something if they actually seen it.
