Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and
use your free product or service in order to multiply
your marketing quickly over the internet. The idea
behind viral marketing is that you include your ad
with the freebie people giveaway or use. Below are
ten high impact viral marketing strategies:


1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their web
site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks.
Include your resource box and the option for article
reprints at the bottom of each article.


2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as free
bonuses for products or services they sell. Include
your ad on all your freebies.


3. Allow people to use your online discussion board
for their own web site. Some people don't have one.
Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.


4. Allow people to sign up for a free web site on
your server. Since you are giving away the space,
require them to include your banner ad at the top
of the site.


5. Allow people to add their link to your free web
site directory. Just require that they return a link
back to your web site, advertising your directory.


6. Allow people to provide your free online service
to their web site, visitors, or e-zine subscribers.
They could be free e-mail, e-mail consulting, search
engine submissions, etc.


7. Allow people to give away your free software.
Just include your business advertisement inside the
software program.


8. 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.


9. Allow people to place an advertisement in your
free ebook if, in exchange, they give away the
ebook to their web visitors or e-zine subscribers.


10. Allow people to give away your free ebook to
their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it
away. This will just continue to spread your ad all
over the internet.

Test your web site regularly for ordering glitches,
bad links, broken graphics, etc. Those types of
errors will make your business look unprofessional.
If your visitors can't order, navigate to where they
want to go or see pictures of your product, they
likely won't revisit or order.


Change your ads regularly. Your prospects could
get bored seeing the same ad all the time. Statistics
show people usually see the same ad 7 times before
they actually buy. Just change them enough to keep
them from being over-exposed. For example, if your
ad said. "FREE Killer Marketing E-book!", you
could change it later on to "FREE Sizzling Marketing
E-book!"


Set up a cross-promotion deal with another web
business. Allow them to sell your product as a back-
end product to their existing customer base. The
web business’ product should be related to your
product or service. If not, it may not sell that well
to a different target audience.


Trigger your readers’ emotions in your ad copy.
For example, if you sell a book on gambling tips, tell
them the feelings they'll get when they win money. It
could be the relief of getting out of debt or the
excitement of being wealthy. Another example, if
you sell a self-help cassette on getting over shyness,
you could describe the feeling of having confidence.


Ask your current customers. You could contact
some of your existing customers by phone or e-mail
and ask them what kind of new products they would
like to see on the market. For example, a customer
may tell you that he would like to see you offer
free consulting with each e-book you sell. If one
person thinks that, then usually more do too.


Offer other web sites free content to post on
their web site. Include your link on all of your content.
The content should related to your web site because
it will be in front of your target audience. You could
include your link in your resource box or subtly
mention it in your article.


Most people want the latest and newest things
in life. Use words and phrases in your ad copy like
"New", "Just Released", etc. For example, you
could say, "Just Released: A New Healthy System
For Losing 10 Pounds In 1 Week!" Another
example, "Breaking News! Scientists Have Dis-
covered A Revolutionary Way To Eliminate Stress!"


Switch your marketing plan when your market
dies for your product. Be flexible and redesign your
product for a different market. For example, if your
e-book is about starting an accounting business, you
could rewrite it for a gardening business.


Trade links with other web sites. They should be
related to the subject of your web site. Instead of
trading links, you could also trade banner ads, half
page ads, classified ads, etc. If they turn down your
trade offer, you could offer them some extra in-
centives like free things and extra free ad space.
