6 Ideas for Viral Marketing
By admin | March 1, 2008
Here are six ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:
1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral E-book. Allow people to give away your free E-book to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet.
2. If you have the ability to set up a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don’t have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.
3. Do you have a knack for web design? Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. Then, allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site. Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact.
4. Write an E-book. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers.
5. Write articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.
6. You can easily find products on the Internet that will sell you a license allowing you to distribute the product free of charge to other people. Look for those products that provide “branding rights”. That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact information.
Which one of these actually work best for you?

My favorite out of these 6 is number 5. It is the easiest, and free. Might take time but is traffic on auto.

Yep, going viral is like everyone talking about you offline. It’s like word of mouth on steroids! Great post Mike!

I have yet to have anything go viral ….. maybe I run a contest along with this one saying whoever refers the most people here that just comments on the blog gets another free 3 month membership …… actually, that sounds good …… I am thinking about this as I type.
Let’s say this.
Whoever sends the most people here to comment will get a free 3 month membership. This will also run for the month of March.
The requirements would be the commenter must make at least 5 comments (not hard to do)
And they need to mention your name in the comments so I can track this.
Sound good? I will send out an email in a few to everyone on this.

Sounds like a good idea. People like to make comments on other blogs.

Excellent ideas for successful viral marketing these tips were very useful for me. I like the idea for starting a form which is a good way to generate awareness about the product and brand.
