Promoting affiliate offers to your YouTube audience is a great idea. You’ll make sales if you have an engaged YouTube audience. The way to succeed promoting affiliate offers is to have a never quit attitude, preparation, take action with a “long term” mindset and of course hard work…
Let’s get some advice from a respected leader in US history Colin Powell.
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
— Colin Powell
When creating a video to promote be sure to have a plan on what you want to say before you start the video. Here are some steps to take that work very well for me and will work well for you if you implement them.
Step 1. Find an offer that your audience would be interested in learning about.
If you are unsure what your audience wants to learn then create a video and ask them to tell you what they want to learn in the comments below the video. You can even give them 3 or 4 topics to choose from to make things easier. Once you have a topic and a product picked out to promote then go on to step 2.
Step 2. Ask the vendor if you can promote the offer as an affiliate.
Find out which affiliate platform the vendor is using to promote the offer and ask to promote the product. It’s always a good idea to include in the request how you intend on promoting the product…
For example…
Hi Mr./MS. Vendor I think your product will resonate with my YouTube audience… I have 3,500 subscribers and growing everyday. I’d like to promote your product please.
Step 3. Request a review copy from the vendor. This is simple enough to get a review copy just include it in your request to promote.
For example…
Hi Mr./MS. Vendor I think your product will resonate with my YouTube audience… I have 3,500 subscribers and growing everyday. I’d like to promote your product please. I plan on making a video for my channel going over all the features and benefits of your product… please send me a review copy.
Step 4. Create a free account with screencast-o-matic. This is pretty self explanatory…make sure you learn how to use the software.
Step 5. Record your screen while going through the product then upload to your YouTube channel.
One great way to do this is to create google slides to cover all the positives about the product. Then read the slides while recording your screen showing the slides. Then go to the sales page and record the screen while going over all the good stuff that the sales page points out. Make sure to cover all the products in the funnel like upsells and downsells. Lastly go over the bonuses that you are giving them if they buy the product from you. Be sure to tell them in the video to click on the affiliate link below to get the product and your bonuses right now!!!
Well, good luck with promoting and when you get discouraged remember our quote from Colin Powell.
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
