Viral Marketing is all about giving away your own free
product or service along with your ad copy (contact
information, link, email, etc.). In turn, recipients of your
free product are allowed to pass it along to their own
clients, prospects, visitors and others as a freebie. This is
a quick way to multiple your marketing at no extra expense and
without extra effort on your part.
Here are some popular viral marketing techniques to follow:
1. Ebooks Share your no cost ebook with
your website visitors. Include a nice full-color ad for your
most popular product line with links to your website and
email. Tell recipients to share copies of the ebook with their
own site visitors and other contacts.
2. Software Share a trial or "lite"
version of your software with your website visitors as a
freebie. Dont forget to include that ad for your most popular
product line with links to your website and email. And tell
recipients to share copies of the software with their own site
visitors and other contacts. For help creating software, hire
help from online bid sites like Elance.com.
3. Web Host Offer to host small business
web sites on your server at no charge. In exchange, place your
own banner ad at the top of the site for viral marketing. You
can setup a fold for their site and they can choose their own
domain name and have it redirected to that folder.
4. Templates Design your own website or
other templates, include your own marketing information on
them and give them away as free downloads or as an electronic
package. Grant permission for recipients to pass them along.
5. Articles Write articles about your
industry. Include your website and contact information in the
byline and grant permission for others to publish as long as
they keep the byline in tact. Then people can use your contact
on websites, in ezines, newsletters and other places where
once again, viral marketing will speed the spread of
information about your business.
6. Discussion Board Set up a Discussion
Board on your website with your banner ad attached at the top.
And invite others to link to it and use it for their own
sites.
In summary, by using viral marketing strategies,
you can reach out all over the Internet with much less effort.
See which methods work best for you and repeat them as often
as
needed.
