Viral marketing


The Concept
David Anderson

Viral marketing is a fantastic marketing technique that taps into social networks to spread your marketing message far and wide. Although the name ‘viral’ conjures up all sorts of unpleasant images of nasty infections, the name has stuck, probably because it so aptly describes how effective the method is – your message is literally spread like a virus. I like to call it the Domino Effect.
Its starts with just a few emails and then, like a virulent epidemic, they will spread like wildfire through...


Why Should I Use Viral Marketing?
David Anderson

You may be thinking that viral marketing techniques are only for the major players with big budgets, and that it can not work for small businesses with small budgets. If that is your thinking, I can assure you, you are wrong. You might not be able to afford to produce the highly polished ads like the big companies, but there are still a lot of opportunities for success.

Using articles and eBooks
David Anderson
 
Viral Marketing is a very powerful way to drive traffic to your business. Think of it this way: 
If you saw a movie that just absolutely caught you up - you absolutely loved it - you will probably tell your friends and family about the movie, they may see the movie, feel the same way and they tell other family and friends, and so on.  This word of mouth advertising always has been the best way to promote your business.

Here are first 5 of my top viral marketing tips that you can use to bring traffic to your website. Whether there is a flood or a trickle really depends on your ability to give your visitors something they can use or enjoy. It is important to remember that your customers are not stupid. They will know whether what you are offering is something they want, or if it is a cheap advertising ploy. If it is, they will pass the word along.

People love to win things, and they love to be recognized for winning. Be creative in deciding what the prize should be, but consider how much your customers will think it is worth. While prize doesn’t have to be something of great value, it does have to be something that is useful or of some value to the winner. Make sure that it is something they want, not just a blatant advertisement for your business. A bumper sticker marketing your web address is not going to generate a great deal of interest.
