If you want to make lots of money selling affiliate products online, then the affiliate review site method might just be what you’re looking for, but a word of caution before you get started.

Recommending affiliate products to your blog readers or email subscribers can be a very lucrative way to make a good living online however it’s important that the recommendations you make provide real value.

In the world of the internet, building your credibility is the most important thing you can do to ensure a long and sustainable business online. The caveat or warning for you is that if the product you’re recommending turns out to be trash, all the work you’ve put into developing your credibility can be greatly diminished in one fell swoop.

So how can you avoid that scenario? Simple. Buy the product.

Once you own the product you are in a much better position to determine based on your own experience with it whether or not it will help your readers and subscribers to build their businesses.

When you personally own and use the product you can spell out the advantages as well as the disadvantages. You can also tell what level of marketer would be better suited for it and advise accordingly.

Another advantage to owning the product is that you’ll be able to develop or locate products and services that you can use as bonus offers to encourage sales through your affiliate link.

The bottom line is that if you want to build buyer confidence in your recommendations, owning the product and sharing your results or findings will go a long way in building your credibility with those you sell to in your  market.

An easy way to accomplish this is by creating a simple review video, showing your prospective customers the download area. I’m not saying to show them the product, because that would just defeat the purpose and get you into legal trouble, but you can show them the page where the download links are give a brief synopsis of what the product does and what can be expected.

You can use a simple screen capture program like Jing to make your videos and upload them to Youtube or your blog.

Selling affiliate products online using the affiliate review site method or by creating video reviews is a powerful way to generate easy affiliate commissions provided your reviews are based on real time data from your own experience.
