How You Can Benefit From Viral Marketing
The concept behind viral marketing is that you give away
something for free and in turn, those who received your item
will then pass it around. This is called viral because once it
begins to spread; it spreads like a "virus."
If, for example, you were to write an ebook containing valuable
information, you would then advertise your website or other
products (or even your affiliate programs) within your ebook.
Keep in mind that this ebook (or whatever you choose to give
away) must contain valuable information. A useless ebook will
not "spread like a virus." You could even give away a course
that contains the same information as a course that sells for
$100. This would be valuable content that could easily go viral.
Another way to do this would be to write an ebook or an
instructional course that has links to affiliate sites. Then you
could allow your competitors to brand the book with their own
affiliate links. Your competitors could offer the item as a
download from their website. This would entice your competitors
to spread your freebie around because they could actually make
money from doing so. Within the branded ebook or course would
have information acknowledging you and driving traffic to your
site as well and eventually make a purchase from you. Another
benefit to this is that many times, working with your
competitors instead of against them can lead to profitable
partnerships. Many highly successful joint venture campaigns
started out exactly this way.
There have been countless online marketers become very
successful using the techniques behind viral marketing. Create
good, quality content to give away free of charge, then allow
your competitors to benefit from giving it away, and get ready
for the virus-like spreading of your item and the return of
traffic to your site and orders in the bank.
