The Important Points of Launching Viral Messages

by Marvin

There are no limitations on how you can generate your vital campaigns. You’re only limited by your own imagination. Here are some additional ideas you can employ:

Offer free hosting. If you have a server, you can offer free, reliable hosting in exchange for the customer allowing your banner ads to run on the pages. If you do not have a server, check around to find a hosting company with resell rights where you get to place your banner on the site. Word of mouth for free hosting will spread rapidly, so be prepared for the onslaught.

Create a complimentary product. If you’re promoting an affiliate product on How to Get Pregnant, then a logical complementary product could be How to Stay Fit Before and During Your Pregnancy. This way, you’re not giving away the secrets of the original product, but adding value to its purchase.

Whatever You Do, Do It Right. Compilation can get messy. If you have a viral free report, don’t launch it in Word where everyone and their brother can alter its text. Secure it in PDF format. Remember that your freebie must be convenient, as well as valuable. If it’s a 1-hour video download or a report with 50MB, then someone on a dial-up connection may balk – even if it is free!

Don’t OD on the Marketing Mumbo-Jumbo. The recipients of your viral campaign don’t want to read, watch, or hear an infomercial. They want it to feel like they really did get something for nothing. Make sure you’re sparse with your links so the reader doesn’t get offended.

Put Your Domains to Good Use. Give viral freebies to anyone who opts into your newsletter or eZine. Think of it as a free gift for subscribing (to a free eZine).

Plant Teasers on the ‘Net for your Freebies. Some people won’t take something for free because they’re leery of it. So to entice them to viewing the entire freebie offer teasers to whey their appetite.

Let Your Sig File Do the Talking. Joining forums and groups on the ‘net and advertising your free offer will generate a good deal of free targeted traffic.

Every time you make a post, send an email, or launch another site you create an opportunity for the launch of another viral marketing campaign. It should be every bit as important as your product creation, sales letter copy, and customer service components are to the good of your business.
