The #1 Most Forgotten Affiliate Pre-Sell Strategy Revealed

Have you ever heard how easy it is to make money as an affiliate? Just put up a page and drive some traffic to the website and you’ll make thousands of dollars overnight, right? Wrong! It just doesn’t work like that… you need a lot more than just a website and some traffic.

The biggest, sometimes most forgotten affiliate strategy is the pre-sell. If you are not pre-selling with either text, video or whatever, then you are missing the boat big time. In order to get the most out of your affiliate sales you need 3 compontents.

  • Know
  • Like
  • Trust

Guess which one is the most important factor?

Know? Naah… people buy from random people online everyday, although it really helps.

Like? Nah… people buy from people they don’t like as well, but it sure is a plus. If it’s the only solution, such as Windows, lol, then most people use it even if they don’t like it..

But the biggest ingredient is trust!

If somebody comes to your website with a problem or frustration… and you position your website in a way that is valuable and builds trust with that person you are going to be decreasing the barrier of entry.

The problem is, it’s hard to build trust online. Why? Because so many people are currently misusing trust to take advantage of people and steal their money. This is horrible, as we all know… But it’s a fact.

So in order to build more trust you have to be more transparent and give more value than your competition. Be human if you will. Be an individual with feelings, thoughts ideas and a real life.

Present your offer or solution in the best possible light, but do talk about some of the negative things about your product. Like my Free Traffic Methods product has a lot of flaws, even though it does all it says and more. Free traffic takes a little bit of time and effort to make happen. It’s not the most overnight solution, but it’s the most sustainable in my opinion.

I will make more sales and get more customers by being upfront with this fact, than trying to hide it. Understand?

Now when you are an affiliate you want to increase the trust for YOU, but also the PRODUCT in question. So a good way to do that is pre-sell by doing a video and adding some value to the visitors without expecting any monetary exchange.

Try it and see your income boost!

    Nice post. I also agree on the trust thing. Most people won't buy if they sense you are trying to hide or cover something up.

    I enjoy reading your blog. I agree with you that trust is the most important in affiliate marketing. If you gain the trust of your customer, your product will be popular in the internet.
  • I read your blog on the Sales Tsunami...formerly CPA Tsunami. I already stumbled upon Mike's website and watched the videos before I came across your blog.

    Everyone keeps talking about the expense of it. Although I am sure it's worth a good deal of money for 18 hours worth of inside content, I cannot find ANYWHERE how much the darn thing is!

    Obviously his affiliates make $800 per sale, as I saw his "affiliate" link on his site, but what is the actual cost to the public for the 18 hours of videos?
  • Hi Harris. The CPA Tsunami program was $2000 or 3 payments of $800 if I remember correctly. It's a KILLER program so if you have the money it's a worthy investment. These products have no "cost" to the "significant gain" you'll receive from using the methods. If you understand investing you know what I'm talking about and in that business you are likely to never see more than a a few % gain. Here you can gain 100's of times your investment =)

    Thanks for commenting!
