You need an electrician. You search online and find more electricians than you know what to do with. They all have great ads and they all say they are the best, the fastest, the cheapest, and the highest quality.
If you choose the wrong one, it could cost you a fortune and then they still might not get things right.
It’s too much, so you put the decision off, and you go to the pub to have a beer. There you run into a friend and you have a drink together. You tell him about your electric woes, and he says not to worry, he knows exactly the man you need. He introduces you to a friend of his, and says, “This guy does all my electrical work, been in the business for 20 years and knows his stuff. Plus, his rates are reasonable, and he gets the job done fast.”
Your problems are over. You’ve got your electrician and in days, the problem is sorted, and you’re happy.
What’s the difference between all those ads online and your friend’s recommendation?
The difference is your friend presold you on the idea of using this person. You saw this electrician’s ad online along with all the others, but you didn’t call him. Only when your friend made the recommendation did you use his services.
But there’s a hidden reason here as well, and it’s an important one: By going with your friend’s recommendation, you are no longer responsible if things go badly. If the job turns out great at a good price, it’s because you’re smart about who you hire. But if the job turns out poorly, it’s your friend’s fault for recommending this guy.
- How can we use this tactic online?
- By preselling anything you recommend.
- Buy the program or software and use it yourself.
- If you love it, recommend it.
- If you don’t, then don’t recommend it.
Your job as an online marketer and especially as an affiliate marketer is to presell, recommend, introduce, and advise. Have that beer with your prospects and tell them why this product or software is precisely the one they should buy, just like your friend told you why to hire that particular electrician.
Instead of sending traffic straight to sales pages, put up a presell page where you tell why YOU love the product.
Instead of sending your list a one-paragraph email telling them to grab a product, send them an honest list of reasons why you’re recommending this product.
You take responsibility for the decision this way. And as long as you only offer truly excellent products, you will make far more sales than simply slapping up an affiliate link and shouting at your visitors to read the sales page.
Bonus: Here’s how to kick this up a notch and become the only person your customers buy from.
This takes guts, but it can be super lucrative if you do it right.
Make a personal guarantee on everything you recommend.
If the product isn’t everything you say it is, and if for any reason they don’t get their money back from the original seller, you’ll refund them.
Yeah, it sounds scary. But if you’re only recommending great products that YOU believe in, and if your guarantee period is the same length as the guarantee on the product, you will rarely have to pay out on this.
But it will set you apart from every other affiliate marketer in your niche because it shows you 100% stand behind your recommendations.
This is a great way to build trust and loyalty with your customers.
I recommend these products: Thumbnail creator for YouTube Thumbnail Blaster, a good text to speech generator Speechello, and make intros, outros, and stingers with Viddyoze. If you want a refund and they don’t refund you within the 60 day period I will personally refund you*.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
Thank you could be since I have moved the blog to a different server. Thank you.
Hi! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking
at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point
me in the direction of a good platform.

Well, I use WordPress myself but have a few security plugins. It really doesn’t matter what you use if a hacker is determined to get in they will. Although the newer versions of WP are better nothing is perfect.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve
got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
