Affiliate Product Reviews - An Ultimate
Selling Tactic
By Jason Gazaway
If you truly want to generate sales, one great way to do so is to create
separate web pages for each of your affiliate products and include reviews
of each product. Pictures, of course, speak a thousand words, and a picture
of each product is very important to closing the sale.
Why does this process work so well? It's simple; people want to see
and know all about a product before the pull out their credit card! Here
are some points to be sure to include in your affiliate product review
pages:
* Always have an uncluttered web page with blocks of text that are easy
to read and understand. If you crowd a great deal of information, few people
will read all of it. It has been scientifically proven that most people
read only about one-third of the information contained in any sales page
or review. So, make your web page product review easy to scan and grab
specific points from without reading every single word.
* Use highlights to call out specific important points. Again, this
goes back to the fact that few people will read all the words. If a specific
area is highlighted in yellow or another bright color, their eyes will
be drawn to that specific region and that may be all that they read. If
you can convince the reader with you highlighted section that they simply
MUST know all about this product, then they will probably read more. If
you do not grab their attention with compelling information, they will
probably continue to another web page.
* Specific benefits to the reader must be described in very few words.
Tell the reader exactly what the product will do for them and call them
to action!
* Please graphic help attract a person to spend a moment looking at
your page. A boring page, in terms of graphics, will probably not hold
the reader's attention long enough to even get them to read the highlights,
much less the sales information.
* Focus on compelling, eye-catching headlines for each page. If your
review begins with a bang, then people will read more of the text. A headline
such as "How Product XYZ Saved My Life - And Can Save Yours, Too" will
generate more readers than a headline such as "Product XYZ Works Great".
* Never produce web page affiliate product reviews that are totally
essay-style. Remember; make the page so that the reader who simply scans
will pick up enough information to compel them to read more.
* Make the reader have to take an action to get more information. The
more a person becomes involved with a product review page, the more likely
they will follow all the way through to the payment process and complete
the sale. A short poll, a signup for a free report, anything that makes
the person provide input can get them involved enough to follow through.
Think about Publisher's Clearing House; they always make you participate
to fill out an entry form. Use the same concept but apply it to your affiliate
product review pages.
* Keep the page short! 500-600 words are enough to convey almost any
concept you wish to send. No one wants to read on and on and on without
gaining truly new information. Shorter is often better than longer. The
European style seems to be, of late, a long, long web page, but many Americans
just won't stand for scrolling down over and over to get to the prize!
* Be sure you are providing good information that the product you are
promoting will actually provide. There is no need to tell "fish tales"
to make a sale. A good product, where only the facts are provided in the
review, will sell itself!
These few points can make your affiliate product review pages stand
out among the crowd. And there is a crowd, so you have to work hard to
really stand out. It is worth the time and effort in sales you will generate!
