1. Easy way to increase commissions
===================================
Here's a new easy way to increase affiliate commissions…
Add professional, high quality videos to your affiliate niche site.
Wait. YOU don't have to create the videos. We'll do that for you.
We've all seen the massive increase in the use of videos on product sites and affiliate sites. We use them. Nearly every big marketer and successful affiliate uses them. It's happening because videos increase sales – sometimes dramatically.
If you're not using videos yet, you could probably learn how, but now there's a much easier way…
It's a new service just for Associate Programs readers.
I love telling you about stuff you won't get anywhere else. This will help give you a competitive advantage over other affiliates.
Super affiliate Dan Ho and his partner David King, who's an expert at creating beautifully professional videos, are launching a new video creation service.
Not only do they do all the work for you, they create “Wow!” videos that are much more professional than anything you are likely to make, even after weeks of learning and experimenting.
You get a little bit of script you simply cut and paste into your niche affiliate site. Then you watch your sales increase. It's as easy as that.
Here's the reason why you want to do this…
Good affiliate marketing is all about making a CONNECTION between you and your visitor. Videos help make that connection.
Adding a video to a niche affiliate site gives you more credibility, and makes you look much more professional. A video helps make your site look more trustworthy.
When visitors believe a site is trustworthy, you achieve more sales.
That's why Dan has been using videos more and more in his affiliate sites. In his affiliate coaching he advises his students to do the same.
In one of his niches, promoting omega 3 fish oil products, Dan found his conversion rate NEARLY DOUBLED when he added a short video to the site.
Will adding a video to your site nearly double your conversion rate, too?
Of course we can't promise you that. Too many factors go into making a site trustworthy, such as the design, the quality of your writing, even spelling and grammar. So results are bound to vary.
A video won't rescue an amateurish site, but it can make a mediocre site better and make a good site look much better.
Dan's research clearly shows that adding a video is well worth doing. I recommend you try it.
This is a really easy way to do it, letting Dan and David do all the work, so that you can play golf, spend more time with your loved ones – or create more niche sites.
Dan identifies good niches and writes the scripts. David shoots the videos, starting with hot niches such as health, dating and finance.
Dan has set up a club for this, but you don't have to join it if you don't want to. The club is for power users who build lots of niche sites.
If you aren't a power user, you can select just ONE video if you wish, without joining the club. All you have to do is get on the special mailing list and you'll be told every time new videos are available.
If you add a video to one of your niche affiliate sites, I'd really love to hear the results.
Test it for a week or a month and see what it does to your sales and commissions.
