Viral Marketing is allowing people to giveaway and

use your free product or service in order to multiply

your marketing quickly over the internet. The idea

behind viral marketing is that you include your ad

with the freebie people giveaway or use. Below are

ten high impact viral marketing strategies:

1. Allow people to reprint your articles on their web

site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks.

Include your resource box and the option for article

reprints at the bottom of each article.

2. Allow people to use any of your freebies as free

bonuses for products or services they sell. Include

your ad on all your freebies.

3. Allow people to use your online discussion board

for their own web site. Some people don’t have one.

Just include your banner ad at the top of the board.

4. Allow people to sign up for a free web site on

your server. Since you are giving away the space,

require them to include your banner ad at the top

of the site.

5. Allow people to add their link to your free web

site directory. Just require that they return a link

back to your web site, advertising your directory.

6. Allow people to provide your free online service

to their web site, visitors, or e-zine subscribers.

They could be free e-mail, e-mail consulting, search

engine submissions, etc.

7. Allow people to give away your free software.

Just include your business advertisement inside the

software program.

8. 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

web site.

9. 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.

10. Allow people to give away your free ebook to

their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it

away. This will just continue to spread your ad all

over the internet.

1. Design your web site to be a targeted resource

center. Choose one subject and build on it. You’ll

gain repeat visitors that are interested in that topic.

2. Offer something that is really free.  If people go

to your site and what you said was free really isn’t,

you’ll lose their trust and they won’t buy anything.

3. Add a chat room or message board to your web

site. People want to interact with other people that

have they same interests as them.

4. Entice people to link to your web site by giving

them something free in return. This’ll increase your

ranking in some search engines.

5. Trigger your reader’s emotions in your ad copy.

Example, if you sell a book on gambling tips, tell

them the feelings they’ll get when they win money.

6. Make sure your site looks good in all browsers.

You could be losing sales because it looks distorted

in some web browsers.

7. Increase your sales by e-mailing full page ads to

your e-zine subscribers. Remember to tell people

before they subscribe or they may consider it spam.

8. Ask people questions in your ad copy that make

them think about their problems. For example: Do

you want to be free of your debts?

9. Magnify the size of your prospects problem in

your ad; show how your product can solve it.

The bigger the problem, the more sales you’ll have.

10. Invest a percentage of your profits right back

into your business. Spend it on marketing, product

improvement, customer service, advertising, etc.

1. Barter

If you have a business you should be bartering goods

and services with other businesses. You should try to

trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals

usually require little or no money.

2. Network

Try networking your business with other businesses.

You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut

down on your marketing and advertising costs. You

may also try bartering goods and services with them.

3. Wholesale/Bulk

You’ll save money buying your business supplies in

bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a

wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail

order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always

running out of.

4. Free Stuff

You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites

on the internet before buying your business supplies.

You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds,

online business services etc.

5. Borrow/Rent

Have you ever purchased business equipment you

only needed for a small period of time? You could

have just borrowed the equipment from someone

else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.

6. Online/Offline Auctions

You can find lower prices on business supplies and

equipment at online and offline auctions. I’m not

saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for

these items try bidding on them first.

7. Plan Ahead

Make a list of business supplies or equipment you’ll

need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that

have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go

on sale before you need them.

8. Used Stuff

If  your business equipment and supplies don’t need

to be new, buy them used. You can find used items

at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff

for sale message boards and newsgroups etc.

9. Negotiate

You should always try negotiate a lower price for

any business equipment or supplies. It doesn’t hurt

to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car

lot.

10. Search

You can always be searching for new suppliers for

your business supplies and equipment. Look for

suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don’t

just be satisfied with a few.

1. Turn your ad copy into a story or article. Your

visitors won’t be as hesitant to read your ad and

will become more interested in your product.

2. Give visitors a freebie for filling out your online

survey or they usually won’t. Surveys will give your

business valuable intelligence for your business

3. Enhance the power of your ad copy benefits by

using attention getting words, highlighting keywords,

using color, bolding key phrases, underlining, etc.

4. Give your visitors tons of choices so they don’t

get the feeling of being controlled. Offer them a

variety of ways to order, contact you, navigate, etc.

5. Put yourself in your visitors shoes. Design your

site for them, not for yourself. Create your product

around your visitors not because you would buy it.

6. Get free advice from successful online business

owners. Participate in business chat rooms and

message boards to chat with them.

7. Use your free bonuses to create an urgency for

your visitors to buy. Only offer them for a limited

time with your main product.

8. Offer your customers extra add-on products at

the point of purchase. For example, if they are

buying an electronic toy try to sell batteries with it.

9. Make your visitors feel good about themselves

by giving them compliments. If they feel good they

will also feel good about buying from your web site.

10. Add multiple profits to your web site. If you’re

selling business books try to sell business services,

courses and supplies too.
