What is Viral Marketing

It is not difficult to make money with viral marketing. In
fact the most difficult part is to produce the product.
It is a means of internet marketing that grows
exponentially without further intervention from you
once you have launched it, and it benefits everyone who
becomes involved.

There are a few essential components of an effective viral
marketing strategy.  The first is that the information or
service provided must be free.  Everybody likes something
for free, and if you provide something useful that is free
of charge, and that the recipient can also give away free
of charge, you have the beginning of a viral system.  The
reason it should be free is that it will proliferate far
quicker than if it costs money.

Now think how they would feel when your customers realize
that they can rebrand the product. They can put their
name to it, and get the benefits of any sales made form
it. They are going to try to sell it after all. They
will promote it for you and provide it free to others. The
great thing is that both of you profit.

If you give your book away to only ten people at half are
going to open it since it costs nothing for them to do so.
If each of these five offer it to only ten of their
customers or contacts you can see how it can multiply.
Eventually your product is distributed all over the
internet, you get a proportion of everything sold and so do
they. Not only this, but you also get links back to your
website from them all. That is viral working perfectly!

Nobody loses. Customers get useful information for free
and also the opportunity to add their links to the ebook.
They can pass this on as they promote the product for their
own benefit.

If you give away your product to only ten people free of
charge, they will likely open it since it is free.
However, when they find that they can redistribute it,
they may be even more likely to open it.  Let us assume,
however, the low figure of 50%. If each of these five
offer it to another ten, and so on, then even after just
three repetitions your product, URL and affiliate offers
have been exposed to 125 people after just ten emails.

The links in the ebook could be anything.  A link to your
website, an affiliate offer, an opt-in form; anything at
all. You can easily work out where the “viral” comes in
and just consider this:  what if, instead of just ten,
your initial distribution had been to a thousand . . .
