Viral Marketing

If you haven’t heard of the term viral marketing then it can be a hard concept to grasp. No you won’t get sick :

Viral marketing is term used when your marketing efforts snowball into a larger and larger flow of traffic to your website. There are many ways to create a viral marketing snowball using referrals multilevel downlines word of mouth multtiered commissions to name just a few.

My favorite viral marketing techniques concentrate on rebranding ebooks.What is rebranding an ebook? Well lets say for instance that you are given an ebook that had various links programs and marketing tools in it. And lets say that you bought a tool that you particularly liked in the ebook.

The person who gave you the book would get a commission. Why do you ask? The individual who gave you the ebook probably paid a small fee to rebrand the ebook with his own affiliate links.

Now you decide to rebrand the ebook because you see the same potential. As you start to rebrand the ebook you will begin to signup for the same affiliate programs and tools listed in the book. You are then placed in the 2nd tier affiliate program of the person who referred you the book. Now when you start making commissions he will also get a commission percentage.

Now you can see the powerful viral marketing concept. For each person that rebrands the ebook a larger snowball of traffic and sales increases.

Some good ways to giveaway such ebooks are to tell visitors that they will get instant access to such and such ebook when they subscribe to your newsletter. So not only are you practicing viral marketing but you are also expanding your email list.

My success in Viral Marketing have been overwhelming and it is a good reason why I have been able to work at home. The two ebooks that I give away for people to rebrand is Graham Hamers Traffic Jam Formula Mike Paetzold’s OptIn Master Course. The Traffic Jam Formula has been responsible for 58 platinum memberships at MPAM which is 14.95 each that I recieve a month as commission.

So go out there and find a rebrandable ebook and rebrand it with your affiliate links. Give it away in traffic exchanges free ebook directories search engines pay per click and anywhere that you can think of and you will be one step closer to achieving viral marketing.

Viral Marketing Secrets Revealed Part I

Viral Marketing means to give away ebooks and earticles freelyso that it spreads like a virus exponentially. In the ebooks andearticles we give links to our site and a short bio orresource box declaring who we are.

It is also known as the Pull Strategy of Marketing. The Resourcebox at the bottom contains the link to our site. Provided thearticle is good the reader of that article clicks on our siteaddress and comes to our site. We have in other words pulledhim/her to our site via our article. We also provide our emailaddress. The reader can click and contact us at any time.

The article proclaims that we know the subject and we will beconsidered experts in our field if we write good earticles andebooks and distribute them. Some people find it difficult todistribute them freely. After all creating an earticle or anebook is time consuming. So what is the advantage indistributing them free? But if you want the much needed exposurewhich is crucial to business success better give it away!

” Be an expert with your own booklet ” is what the marketinggeniuses proclaim. If you write a booklet about the subject youare dealing using technical terms people will definitely askyou about the terms and the subject in general. Answer theirquestions and they will respect your knowledge and expertise.

Write Articles

The mantra on the Net is ‘Publish or Perish’. The Net is definedas the Information Encyclopaedia. It is a repository of freeinformation and resources.

You can write on the subject which deals with your area ofexpertise. The main ingredients of content creation areResearch knowledge skill and style.

Research

Read books on the subject. You can go to search engines and typethe subject that deals with your area of expertise. You cansubscribe to other ezines which deal with that subject. And thusstudy more about the subject.

All information is available on the Net. All you have to do isto go to the search engines and group lists and find outinformation about your subject.

Knowledge

You have heard the proverb ” Knowledge is Power”. There are manytypes of knowledge. Technical knowledge marketing knowledgeknowledge of language etc. We have to be accepted by the targetaudience. For this we should convince our customers that we areexperts in our field. Be a specialist first then be an expertand then be an authority a selfdevelopment expert used to say.If you know more than your competitors definitely you have acompetitve edge over your competition. If you can establish thatyou are a scholar in your field and is head and shoulders aboveyour competition in knowledge they will come in droves. Whyshould they go to somebody who is less knowledgeable?

So it is imperative to develop professional knowledge to studymore and more about the subject we are dealing with even thoughit is timeconsuming. Remember on the Net there are so manyscholars in various fields each claiming to be experts in theirfield. On the Web the competition is fierce and is only a clickaway. So our chances of survival are bright if only we areequipped with the latest knowledge in our field. The customersare not fools and they will evaluate us as well as ourcompetition.

Skill

Writing skill does not come all of a sudden. Writing isbasically intuitively inspired and comes from within. But thiscreative talent is in all of us. We have not tapped this divineresource fully. If we give ourselves to Meditation and lapseinto silence we can see that this talent blossoms of its own.Age is not a factor for we see Goethe wrote “The Faust” at theage of eighty and Chaucer wrote “The Canterbury Tales” at sixty!

Start by writing whatever you feel about the subject you arehandling in your diary. Group these small bits of information.When you assemble these tiny bits of info and arrange them youwill be surprised to know that you have written an article.Improve on what you have written. Let it take some days andafter some days of improvisation you will come to know it hasbecome a great article.

It so happened to me. The first article I wrote was about AstroNumerology and I sent it to some friends. They hailed it as agreat article. This was a great boost to my morale. I started anezine the Z Files and published my own articles which was wellreceived by the multitude. This furthur boosted my confidence. Ithen submitted my articles to the ezines which deal withAstrology. The publishers thanked me and published my articles.My hits trebled. Now I have many requests from publishers to usemy articles in their Site or Zine.

Style

Every man has a style of talking and a way of writing. We havenot written much and that is why we are not aware of our hiddentalents. If you start writing simple ideas in your diary andthen later expand these ideas you will be stunned to see thatyou are an excellent writer. Just imagine what would havehappened if Dante had not written the Divine Comedy orShakespeare had not written his dramatic poems! Where wouldEnglish Literature be without these gems ?

The pen is mightier than the sword. The ink of the scholar isholier than the blood of the martyr! Write yourself to glory!Write yourself to fame ! Writing can take you from obscurity toomnipresence!

Understanding The Power Of Viral Marketing Online

The story of how Hotmail moved from zero to a couple of millionsubscribers in a few months is one that is often told in manysites all over the net. However it is a story that many do notquite understand. If they understood it we would be seeing manymore online success stories and fewer online failures. Becausethe word has also been overused by hype peddlers many timespeople associate the word viral with spamming and other onlineactivities bordering on the illegal.

Viral growth and marketing has always been with us

They fail to realize that viral growth and marketing is notsomething new to the human race. In fact it has been there sincethe beginning of time. The human race began with two peopleAdam and Eve. Today the human race has filled virtually everycorner of this huge planet. Many religions of the world startedwith a single person but were quickly “virally marketed” toreach millions.

Even the now World Wide Web started off as a few computersmainly used by researchers linked together. But as theycontinuously enjoyed their experience and as new software andtechnology was made available for more people to join this small”web of linked computers” it suddenly started growing. Thegrowth within a very short time has been explosive and it hasall been viral. So let us be clear that viral marketing was notinvented or created by the net the net in fact used it to growto what it is today.

Viral marketing will only work with something useful

As many MLM and network marketing people have discovered viralmarketing will not work with products that people do not finduseful. Some marketing experts have always turned to viralmarketing in the form of MLM or network marketing to push andclear stocks of a product that has totally failed in the market.Where they think they have succeeded they have only ruinedtheir credibility and that of their businesses as folks haveended up with massive stocks of some useless item stored intheir garage because they believed somebody who told them theywould make a lot of money. This is the chief reason whyMultilevel Marketing which is pure viral marketing has such abad name with many people.

The internet is a natural for viral marketing

The reason why Hotmail was so successful so quickly is becausethe net actually multiplies and speeds up the viral effect. Inreal life you may forget the name of the movie you liked so muchwhen you are telling a friend about it or the name of the bookyou read last year.

On the internet forwarding an interesting article usuallyinvolves a few quick clicks and even if you forget the title ofthe book a quick visit to your favorite search engine armedwith the few keywords or just the name of the author will yieldthe book for you complete with the current online speciallyoffer price for it.

If you want to succeed online you can’t avoid thinkingviral

Anybody who wants explosive growth and success in any onlineendeavour cannot avoid thinking “virally” in all their marketingplans. Failing to use this powerful marketing method that hasbeen successfully used since the beginning of time will be avery unfortunate thing indeed.
