What is Viral | Virual Marketing?
Viral Marketing
A self-spreading marketing approach that is created when visitors to your site also promote your site. Promotional methods include software trading, word of mouth and "pass-along" content (URLs or emails).
Virual Marketing
Advertising that propagates itself by web visitors use of a web sites feature or service. For example, most administrators of free web based email accounts attach an advertisement at the end of each message each time a user sends an email.
Viral eBook
Creating an eBook to give away is obviously one of the best known forms of viral marketing, it all
begins with you creating an eBook to give away. This eBook typically is 7-10 pages in length, a short,
focused report on a specific topic. In the presentation, I explain how to find the right topic, where
to get content for it and specific things you need to include.
You want to promote an offer as well as build a list by using the eBook, you'll want to promote at
least one offer and one list. Both of these should be highly related to the content of the eBook
itself. You can promote your own site, an affiliate link, reprint rights, coaching, advertising, any
list ... virtually any offer you choose.
Authorize Other People to Pass it On Inside the eBook itself and throughout your own distribution of
the eBook, you authorize (and even encourage!) other people to pass on your eBook to their own
contacts (their website visitors and subscribers, etc.) Each person who obtains a copy of your eBook is
authorized to become a distributors himself There are many ways to get folks to pass your eBook on.
You can see the results as readers click links as your eBook begins circulating, people will read the
information inside and see your offers for products, lists, etc. When they click on the links and
respond, that's where you get results. People join your lists. They visit your web site. They purchase
your products. They order from your affiliate link. All of these actions are trackable and should be
tracked so you know how well you efforts are working for you or not working for you. I can not stress
enough how important tracking the results is to your success.
