A Simple But Powerful Marketing Strategy For Affiliates

I would like to share a very simple but effective marketing strategy for affiliate marketers that generated me about $20,000 the first time that I used it and actually still earns me about $500 to $1,000 dollars every single month without doing any additional work on the promotion other than sending a few emails to new subscribers on my list.

I want you to understand that this makes me between $500 - 1,000 a month and I haven't done anything extra to promote this product. Here are the three things I would recommend that you do when you're promoting something, whether you're using video or email or anything else:

1. Bring the pain. It sounds harsh, but people won't buy unless you make them aware of the pain of not buying, so talk about the pain. This is not a negative thing to do. This is just the real thing to do. You want to help them and the only way to help them is to tell them the pain of what's going to happen if they don't buy. For an example if you are promoting software that is designed to spin articles. The pain in this case is duplicate content penalty, getting banned by Google potentially, not getting enough traffic, being cast out as a leper by your family - whatever the pain is you have to make sure that they are aware of how much life sucks without your product. The pain is always whatever problem that your product solves.

2. The second thing I recommend you to do is, whether it's in a video promotion, or text that you're doing as an affiliate, it doesn't matter what the format is, it is extremely important to actually show the 'how.' How does this tool work? I don't care if it's an e-book, show what some of the tactics are. If its software show how it works. Show how fast and easy it is to use and install. Explain the process give some examples of what it is like during the process of actually using it.

3. After you've done that, show the proof, arguably the most important is the actual results. We can represent this by a graph. You can show a screen shot of how it helped your sales go up. How much your traffic went up your self-esteem will go up. Your muscle mass will go up, or whatever it is that this product is supposed to fix you've got to show the proof.

So the three things that I would recommend you to always use in your promotions are:

• Bring the pain
• Show them how the product works, as in this video. If you can't do that, do it in a case study.
• Show the proof. What were the results of actually using it?

If you apply this technique correctly then all you will have to do is set up your recommendation, set up some follow up emails in your auto-responder and put it on auto pilot. I am still seeing money trickle in from many small campaigns that I have set up using this technique and I haven't done any work on some of them in years. It is a very good proven technique and it will work for you.
