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!
