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.
