Now there is a TON you can do with this new feature.

But let’s walk through one “easy win” you can start testing ASAP…

How to Find "Sleeping Giant" Affiliate Offers Using VidTao 2.0

It’s a simple fact:

Not all big affiliate offers “Crushed It” right out of the gate.

A sleeping giant wakes up in a pile of cash…

One unconfirmed affiliate marketing legend has it that GiddyUp’s PhotoStick offer kicked around for a few months before an enterprising affiliate tested a few unique creatives that completely changed the game and generated over $90 Million USD in revenue as a result.

the legendary $90 million+ ecomm affiliate offer, PhotoStick

So how can you find these kinds of “Sleeping Giant” affiliate offers that are hiding in plain sight?

Here’s one way to do it using VidTao 2.0’s new feature… 👇

Step 1: Find Promising Long-Form Ad Inside VidTao 2.0’s Affiliate View

First, log in to VidTao 2.0 and switch to “Affiliate” view:

Now select the affiliate networks you want to analyze:

Now start looking for a long-form ad (15:00 or longer) with decent results.

(🤔 Right now maybe you’re asking yourself: “Why a long-form ad and NOT just any ad?” “What about that “long form ad penalty” I heard about?” Hit Reply and let us know your opinion…)

Here’s a quick example from inside VidTao 2.0: a 28+ minute ad for a Digistore24 Survival offer, with over $278k spent:

Here is the ad: https://youtu.be/E2OmerkpBwo

And here’s the adspend over time breakdown, showing that it was scaling hard less than one year ago:

Notice that for this ad we have:

● Total adspend: $278,032.23

● Ad spend past 30 days: $27.79

Take note on 3 things specifically 👇

✌️Notice 3 key pieces of data here:

1) 📈 Big Historic Spend. This ad has a solid amount of spend behind it (over a quarter million USD). This means the OFFER itself converts.

2) 😴 The Ad is “Asleep”. But notice that this ad does NOT have much spend at all in the past 30 days.

3) ☝️ Significant spend in the past year (Notice in the adspend vs. time graph above, the ad was scaling until the end of last December). Even though the ad is “asleep”, this recency makes it much more likely that the offer itself is not outdated / stopped working entirely.

In our case these 3 pieces of data are GREAT NEWS: we have ourselves a potential “Sleeping Giant” affiliate offer!

⏰ Now how are we going to “wake it up”?

Let’s dive into that next…

Step 2: How to “Wake Up” your Sleeping Giant Affiliate Ad

Ok now we have a Video Salesletter (VSL) that we know did convert, very well, in the not-too-distant past. (In this case, within the past year)

What happened? WHY did this ad stop working after $250k+ spent?

The most likely culprit: Creative Fatigue.

(here’s a more detailed post we did on how to combat creative fatigue on YouTube)

At our YouTube Advertising agency Inceptly, (where we’ve helped our Direct Response clients generate over $950M USD revenue via video advertising) we see it time and time again:

⏳ All ad creatives (even the best ones) have a limited lifespan. ⌛

And the easiest way to extend the lifespan of a winning creative?

🧑‍🔬 Add a new intro to a proven winner.

Let’s take a closer look at all the long-form ads that have run for this offer (in this case all around 27-28 minutes):

All 3 long-form ads have EXACTLY the same intro:

Now when we zoom in and look at all the ads running for this offer, you’ll see a couple things:

First, all ads are running to a variation of the same landing page:

US version: https://survivaldiyprojects.com/book/
EU version: https://survivaldiyprojects.com/book-eu

For each, you have the same VSL above the fold followed by a long form text sales page.

both US & EU landing pages have a the same VSL above the fold, followed by a long-form text sales page section

As for the ads: Even though the main long form ads are not running, right now there IS actually a short form ad (2:01 long) running at small spend, pointed at these same landing pages:

😴 So what’s the easiest way to “wake up” this particular Sleeping Giant offer?

Simple:

We are going to create a NEW video with the offer’s existing assets we have to work with here:

Hook/Intro: We will add part of the short form ad on as the “hook” that will lead into this long form video.

“Core”: We are going to keep the “core” of the ad the same: the main ~28 minute VSL. We know it converts.

Here’s the specifics on one way to slice these ingredients into a single new ad:

👩‍🍳 The Recipe: How to “Wake a Sleeping Giant”

1) Start at 00:03 on the short form video: https://youtu.be/UijY_ujAJto?t=3

2) Cut the short form video at 01:31: https://youtu.be/UijY_ujAJto?t=91

3) Splice the clip above to the VSL at 00:07 here: https://youtu.be/E2OmerkpBwo?t=7

Run the ad direct to either of these landing pages, depending on your campaign geo:

US version: https://survivaldiyprojects.com/book/

EU version: https://survivaldiyprojects.com/book-eu/

🥮 The result? A new, ~30 minute VSL that’s very likely to convert as a YouTube ad.

Try this approach for any offer with a converting long form video / VSL.

And go ahead and dig into VidTao 2.0 to see what other “Sleeping Giant” Affiliate Offers you can uncover!
