Here's a really simple way... to add some viral marketing
punch to your promotions.
Promotion options on line can be costly, time-consuming and
not very productive. How can you overcome these obstacles
and give some really serious pzazzz to your promotions ?
Here are some typical ways that most of us have spent money
on advertising our products or services:
-Ezine ads
-Banner ads
-Classified ads
-FFA sites
-Search engine submissions
All of these have paid and fr*e options available. Some are
better than others, but none of them really provide you
with a vehicle to add some viral effect to your promotions.
Here are some other ways to promote that are probably much
better and they don't cost you anything:
-Articles (such as this one.)
-Ad swaps
-Joint ventures
-Reciprocal links
Now I won't go into any detail on these, but anytime you
can get some promotion that doesn't cost you a thing it's
probably worth the effort to investigate.
Here is a better way to promote. It's called viral
marketing.
Viral marketing is simply providing something of value to
another webmaster or publisher that they will want to pass
along to their site visitors. It may be a report, an
article or an ebook.
Whatever format it takes, the important element to remember
is that it also includes links and information to your site
that is being passed on to others.
So, those who use your resource pass it on to others who in
turn pass it on to their visitors. It is viral...it can
spread like wild fire.
Here is a perfect example of a viral marketing campaign that
I have in place now:
I offer a great ad tracking guide in the form of an ebook.
I offer it for FR*E at this link:
http://tinyurl.com/2ogzxYou or others may download it and give it away to your site
visitors as a really good piece of information on how to use
ad trackers to measure the results of your ads and stop
wasting money or advertising.
Each of the downloads contains links to my site and to some
of my affiliate programs. Those who download it have a
choice. They may re-brand the ebook with their links and
information, or they may simply pass it along to others
without making any changes to it.
-------------
In summary, by now I am sure you recognize the value and
strength of a good viral marketing campaign. Once it is set
up and running, it is really a "hands-off" promotional
whirlwind that can bring your lots of great, targeted
traffic to your site.
What are you doing to implement viral marketing for your
product or services? It's simple and easy to start today to
put this principle of promotion into effect and then just
sit back and see the results.
