Viral Marketing - Secrets Revealed - Part I
Viral Marketing means to give away ebooks and e-articles freely
so that it spreads like a virus exponentially. In the ebooks and
e-articles, we give links to our site and a short bio or
resource box declaring who we are.
It is also known as the Pull Strategy of Marketing. The Resource
box at the bottom contains the link to our site. Provided the
article is good, the reader of that article clicks on our site
address and comes to our site. We have, in other words, pulled
him/her to our site via our article. We also provide our email
address. The reader can click and contact us at any time.
The article proclaims that we know the subject and we will be
considered experts in our field if we write good e-articles and
e-books and distribute them. Some people find it difficult to
distribute them freely. After all creating an e-article or an
ebook is time consuming. So what is the advantage in
distributing them free? But if you want the much needed exposure
which is crucial to business success, better give it away!
" Be an expert with your own booklet " is what the marketing
geniuses proclaim. If you write a booklet about the subject you
are dealing using technical terms, people will definitely ask
you about the terms and the subject in general. Answer their
questions and they will respect your knowledge and expertise.
Write Articles
The mantra on the Net is 'Publish or Perish'. The Net is defined
as the Information Encyclopaedia. It is a repository of free
information and resources.
You can write on the subject which deals with your area of
expertise. The main ingredients of content creation are
Research, knowledge, skill and style.
Research
Read books on the subject. You can go to search engines and type
the subject that deals with your area of expertise. You can
subscribe to other ezines which deal with that subject. And thus
study more about the subject.
All information is available on the Net. All you have to do is
to go to the search engines and group lists and find out
information about your subject.
Knowledge
You have heard the proverb " Knowledge is Power". There are many
types of knowledge. Technical knowledge, marketing knowledge,
knowledge of language etc. We have to be accepted by the target
audience. For this we should convince our customers that we are
experts in our field. Be a specialist first, then be an expert
and then be an authority, a self-development expert used to say.
If you know more than your competitors, definitely you have a
competitve edge over your competition. If you can establish that
you are a scholar in your field and is head and shoulders above
your competition in knowledge, they will come in droves. Why
should they go to somebody who is less knowledgeable?
So it is imperative to develop professional knowledge, to study
more and more about the subject we are dealing with, even though
it is time-consuming. Remember on the Net, there are so many
scholars in various fields, each claiming to be experts in their
field. On the Web, the competition is fierce and is only a click
away. So our chances of survival are bright if only we are
equipped with the latest knowledge in our field. The customers
are not fools and they will evaluate us as well as our
competition.
Skill
Writing skill does not come all of a sudden. Writing is
basically intuitively inspired and comes from within. But this
creative talent is in all of us. We have not tapped this divine
resource fully. If we give ourselves to Meditation and lapse
into silence, we can see that this talent blossoms of its own.
Age is not a factor for we see Goethe wrote "The Faust" at the
age of eighty and Chaucer wrote "The Canterbury Tales" at sixty!
Start by writing whatever you feel about the subject you are
handling in your diary. Group these small bits of information.
When you assemble these tiny bits of info and arrange them, you
will be surprised to know that you have written an article.
Improve on what you have written. Let it take some days and
after some days of improvisation, you will come to know it has
become a great article.
It so happened to me. The first article I wrote was about Astro
Numerology and I sent it to some friends. They hailed it as a
great article. This was a great boost to my morale. I started an
ezine, the Z Files and published my own articles which was well
received by the multitude. This furthur boosted my confidence. I
then submitted my articles to the ezines which deal with
Astrology. The publishers thanked me and published my articles.
My hits trebled. Now I have many requests from publishers to use
my articles in their Site or Zine.
Style
Every man has a style of talking and a way of writing. We have
not written much and that is why we are not aware of our hidden
talents. If you start writing simple ideas in your diary and
then later expand these ideas, you will be stunned to see that
you are an excellent writer. Just imagine what would have
happened if Dante had not written the Divine Comedy or
Shakespeare had not written his dramatic poems! Where would
English Literature be without these gems ?
The pen is mightier than the sword. The ink of the scholar is
holier than the blood of the martyr! Write yourself to glory!
Write yourself to fame ! Writing can take you from obscurity to
omnipresence!
