How are you doing so far? We’re winding down to the end of this short course. But we still need to go
over a few things.

Creativity Using Viral Marketing.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastic
website, if people don’t know you exist your business isn’t going to make it!

With so many methods of getting traffic the fastest route to tons of hungry visitors is called Viral Marketing.

Viral marketing is actually very simple when done properly. You allow people to giveaway your free product or service in order to multiply your marketing quickly over the Internet.

The main goal of this technique is to build rapid public awareness of your business and products. There are many ways that it can be used. Let’s go over a few of them.

First we are going to shout out the word VIDEO!

With the advent of Myspace, Youtube and many others has come the power of using videos as viral marketing tools. People will pass around a funny, heartwarming or informative video faster than you can say Ipod!

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.

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.

Start a free web site directory and allow people to add their link to it. Just require that they return a link back to your web site, advertising your directory.

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 website.

These are only a few of the ways the you can use viral marketing. Remember the key is to think creatively and keep in mind what a huge asset going viral can be to your business. Because it is free, it
can get you a lot of publicity in a very short amount of time when used properly.
