What Is Viral Marketing?

When you hear the word “viral”, what do you think of? Do you think of the flu, a bad cold, or any type of sickness that spreads quickly among everyone it comes in contact with? Well, you are right, that is what happens with a virus. The word virus to computer owners is a subject we don’t like to think about, however, the virus you want to spread is your name, product, brand, all by spreading the word quickly, virally.

Viral marketing has been used long before the Internet was ever invented, it was used as “word of mouth”. We know the phrase now with Internet Marketing, or Web 2.0, and this can be a very powerful tool that can be used to your advantage if done correctly.

There are a variety of ways to use Viral Marketing, and in this article I will list the Top 7 methods for you to use right away. You can start with your own email signature where you can include your name, website URL, and your USB if you have a brand to promote. You may also add a tracking URL that can actually let you know if someone clicks on your tracking URLs located at the bottom of your message. This is very inexpensive to apply and very effective and can be done to virtually any email account.

Where To Begin

The first 3 methods uses a strategy of giving away a service or product for free, and this product includes the links to your website as well as your contact information. When someone receives your free product, they are then encouraged to pass it along to their own readers, prospects, and clients, again for free. This method has been proven to be effective and quick as a viral marketing strategy.

1. Ebooks

This is the easiest and most popular method used online. Create an interesting Ebook then give it away. As part of the content, include your website links and any ads that will help promote your product. You may also use an Ebook written as PLR material, and be re-branded with your own personal URL and affiliate links. Encourage your readers to share their Ebook with anyone and everyone they know, put it on their own website as a freebie.

2. Articles

Articles are a great way to get your name, your brand and your contact information out among Internet users. If you have an article that is interesting, informative and is helpful about a service or product, then you will find your article spreading faster than the common cold. You are going to use the ever important resource box to include your contact information and website. You can also allow others to use your article on their blogs, website, etc… as long as they keep your contact information in the resource box intact.

3. Software

If you have a software, offer your visitors a trial version, or maybe one without the frills, as a freebie. Make sure your product includes ads, your email, and links to your website. They will then see the links that offer them the full version of your software or an upgrade. You may also have your recipients offer your software on their on website and to their contacts.

4.Video

Because video has been on the market for a while, to generate traffic will take some creative techniques to appeal to unique visitors. Get yourself set up, focused on your niche and have fun.

5. Forums

Internet forums are fantastic for your viral marketing strategy, and if it is a forum you created, even better! You don’t need to be a genius to create a forum on your website, there are several hosting services that come with a forum that can be integrated automatically. By creating your own forum, you are creating your very own viral network with your banner and AdSense codes. This is a great way for you to get your viral marketing strategy into high gear.

6. Branding

A brand is something that sets you apart from the rest. When you walk down the aisle in a store, you see many of a similar product, but they all have their own brand. How many shampoo’s do you need? Well, there are oodles to choose from; they all do the same thing, but each have something that sets them apart from the other brands. This is what you want to do; what is it that you have that sets you apart from the competition? How do you get your targeted audience to know who you are so they will want to buy your product? This is where creating your brand comes in, you get to advertise who you are and what makes you special.

7. Social Networking

Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, just to name a few, are a goldmine for your viral marketing strategy. I will go into how to use these valuable resources to your advantage along with any other social networking tools.

Get ready, you are about to start your own Viral Marketing Campaign with some great information forthcoming. Also, I want you to check out the ViralKing, he has some great information to get you on your way to success.

How Viral Marketing Works For YOU…

You have a website and want to make some money… and the way you are going to achieve that is through Viral Marketing. Why is it called “viral”? It is viral because your website spreads through your advertisements or promotions like a virus would spread in a kindergarten class full of runny nose kids. You are going to use this method to replicate your efforts without a lot of work on your part all across the Internet.

The reason you hear so much about viral marketing is because IT WORKS!

This method is based on the need to spread good news with friends, family, and coworkers. You are going to create a Viral Marketing campaign that is going to be the talk of the web, you are going to create and offer something that will be passed along.

How many times have you received an email that you just had to pass along to your friends? I know I have tried not to pass stuff on… you know… spamming, but there are some emails that really hit me some way or another, they get my attention and I want to share it. This is Viral Marketing and is so easy to do… you just need to offer something of value, along with your web address, name and company logo or brand.

When you forward an email, you forward your email address and website address. You will be creating your own brand, you will be gaining recognition and eventually trust and respect. You also portray a human side of yourself and your company… send something funny, send a great picture, let them know you are just like they are, and someone they would want to do business with.

You may have an ebook, which by the way is a great way to begin your Viral Marketing campaign. You will want to offer this ebook for free, giving some great information and have your website address on every page, in a way that catches their eye as they read.

When visitors come to your website, encourage them to download your ebook, share it with their friends, they will see your generosity as a big plus and will watch to see if you are offering anything else in the future… your name will be embedded in their mind as someone who gave them something… not asking for anything in return. As you are giving, they are sharing your information for you, therefore, spreading the virus.

Ebooks aren’t the only product you can offer, you can have freebies, games, some cool contests, etc…. maybe you have a mug or t-shirt with your company logo, you will be giving a prize along with some live advertisement. If you can have some fun on your site, you can bet they will be back and spread the word.

You want to build traffic to your site? A good Viral Marketing campaign is the way to go. Once you get it set up, which is the hardest part, the rest is easy… you just keep the traffic flowing, and you will watch it grow leaps and bounds. If you notice the traffic slowing down, then you know to offer another prize, ebook, articles, etc… give them a reason to come back.

As long as your readers are entertained and/or informed, they will keep coming back to your website. You will become part of the social networking sites, you will be shown on others blogs and websites, and Internet forums. You need to realize something, you are not only building more traffic, but you are creating more and more back-links to your site. You are creating a perfect blueprint for a successful online business. You get it started, then the rest happens for free, you are being advertised more and more by the public, not just today, next week, but for years to come.

Most people doing marketing today know that they should be using product reviews as part of their marketing efforts. However, lately I’ve been hearing more people complain that they can’t do this because they are not writers and don’t know how to write “product reviews.” For these people, I have found a great solution.

In fact, I’ve had this idea as well… but Anik Singal beat me to the punch…

In all honesty, it takes even a good writer about 1 hour for each new niche product they research. Between finding the niche, finding a product, seeing if it has an affiliate program, researching the product and then finally writing the review – it can take an hour easily!

So assuming you value your time at about $50/hour, that means that each product review you write costs you about $50!

And, you STILL may not have a good product review. I mean do you really know what elements should be included in the review? How much information should you really give?

Anik has an entire professional writing staff – their entire job is to just sit there, find niches and then write as many product reviews for that niche as they can – for the best selling products in any niche they find.

And…they write GREAT reviews!

Now, for a limited time, you can literally “STEAL” the work Anik’s writers do for him.

Yes, you can basically grab 100 of the product reviews they’ve written and you can use them however YOU want and keep 100% of the profits!
