Viral Marketing Tools
Viral marketing is all the rage. Everybody and
their grandmother wants to know what the best viral marketing tools
are. They want to get their message out to the whole planet,
Jupiter and just about every star in our solar system. Well, this
article will hopefully give you a few viral marketing tools that
will get the job done, maybe not to that extent, but at least to
the extent that you'll be reaching a sufficient number of people to
make some sales. The answers you find below may surprise you.
Well, we might as well start with one of
the most popular viral marketing tools today, which is the
"Tell A Friend" script. To explain this simply is not an easy task
as their is really nothing simple about this tool. Basically, it is
a form that you fill out with the names and email addresses of
"friends" of yours. These people will then receive the same email
that you received and be directed to the same form, where they will
fill in the names of their own friends to send this information
to.
In theory, this sounds great. It certainly does
get the word out quickly. The problem that many people are running
into is that some of their so called "friends" are plugging in
email addresses of people who are not exactly friends and as a
result, many spam complaints are being generated. Because of this,
some of the autoresponder services are not allowing their members
to use these scripts. This of course is starting a huge battle
between those who support this tool and those who think that in the
wrong hands, it could be a deadly weapon. The jury is still out and
it may be quite some time before anything definitive is decided to
determine if these scripts will continue to circulate around the
Internet.
Another viral marketing tool is the ebook. Now,
I know you're probably wondering how an ebook can be viral. Well,
it all depends on how you use it. If you put up a website and have
an opt in form for people to use to get this ebook for free, this
is the start of the process. The way the process continues is that
in the ebook itself, you tell these people to pass it along to
their friends. As they do this, the free ebook gets into the hands
of more people. How does this help you? Well, if inside the ebook
there are links to many of your products or programs, this can
translate into income later down the road if some of the people who
get their hands on this ebook buy some of your products or
services. Circulating ebooks is one of the oldest biral marketing
tools around.
But probably the best viral marketing tool today
is one that has been around since the beginning of time, and that's
word of mouth. There is nothing more effective than telling a
friend of yours either via PM or email or at a forum, that there's
a new book on viral marketing that they have to check out. If they
have any faith in you at all, which they should have since you're
their friend, they will most likely check this book out and tell
others about it if they find it's a good book. Now, if it just
happens to be YOUR book...Well, you get the picture I am sure.
The above items are just the tip of the iceberg
for viral marketing tools. If you want to learn more, just go to
Google's search engine and type in "Viral Marketing Tool" and
you'll find plenty of information on the subject.
