Viral Marketing products (Item 1-2)The first of the viral marketing tools to use in your viral marketing campaign is a free viral marketing product.
Free viral marketing
products work since the word Free
is the biggest
customer magnet, even to people who initially have no interest.
As
the name indicates the free products you offer ought to have viral
characteristics. One viral characteristic is an automated distribution
of the marketing message, achieved as a built-in feature of the free
viral marketing products.
To succeed with your viral marketing campaign you need to build inherently viral marketing products
that allow for an automated distribution of the marketing message and
this as early in the process of using the product as possible.
See these viral marketing examples of products that achieve exactly this. Easy
Transfer is Prerequisite (Item 5)
The viral marketing message
should be short and easily transferred via one or several of the
following digital medias:
- Email
- website
- instant messaging
- graphic
- blogs
- software download
- social media websites such as facebook, twitter or
youtube, kind of smart online applications that facilitate the
exchange of viral messages by automating the distribution processes.
The interaction between internet users is highly facilitated by
using Web 2.0,
a design standard that involves tools like Ajax and Flash as well as
recently Javascript/Ajax frameworks.
Examples of Web 2.0 sites are MySpace, Facebook, Youtube and Flickr.
To most users these websites are all about fun, interacting and sharing
with friends, watching videos and uploading photos.
However
seen from the company's perspective, Web 2.0 Websites enable
people/users to create content (text, images, videos) for them, for
free, in a way that virally spreads the word to others to come and
read/watch/interact with that content. They, in turn, create their own
content and so forth.
So the users are actually doing true viral marketing for the Web 2.0
companies, by using free inherently viral marketing tools.
Unfortunately, Web 2.0 has
been unavailable to small business sites due to the high cost
of
developing the "platform" that enables people to create content on your
Web site and share it virally with everyone else. Therefore Web 2.0 has
been restricted to large companies and well-financed startups.
But
not anymore since the new Content 2.0 allows you too to capitalize upon
people's desire to share, to show off, to help, to have fun, to
contribute, in areas and ways that interest them.
Content 2.0, which seems to be a miraculous
solution to the problem
of performing true viral marketing, is astonishingly affordable
and comes with a complete solution to build your internet business.

to finally have the Explosive Viral Power Of Web 2.0
