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 includee your ad with the freebies people
giveaway or use. Below are ten high impact viral marketing strategies:
1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their
website, 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.
11. Give away an electronic freebie with your ad on
it. Allow your visitors to also give the freebie
away. This'll increase your ad exposure and
attract people to your web site at the same time.
12. Combine your products or services into one big
package deal with other businesses offerings. You
could share a web site and advertise the package
deal; which means double the traffic.
13. Submit your freebie to the online directories
that list your particular item or service for
free. If you're offering a free e-zine, submit it to all the free e-zine directories on the internet.
14. Participate on message boards. Post answers to
other people's questions, ask questions and post
appropriate information. Include your signature
file at the end of all your postings.
15. Exchange classified or sponsor ads with other
free e-zine publishers. If there is a huge
subscriber difference between e-zines, one can run
more ads to make up for it.
16. Post your ad on free advertising areas on the
internet. You can post it on free classified ad
sites ,free for all links sites, newsgroups that
allow ads ,free yellow page directories, etc.
