Viral marketing strategies have been around for a long time. Before the internet, viral marketing worked by getting customers or referral sources to pass on positive information about a business to their friends and colleagues. And in return, those who sent new customers to the business would get something for their services. With the advent of the world wide web and millions using the Internet, the potential for exponential growth using viral marketing strategies is tremendous. Using viral marketing strategies on the internet makes it incredibly easy to pass information on to a friend or colleague. The great news about viral marketing is that it is free and works virtually by itself. Once you make an offer and provide the facility for referrals, viral marketing spreads "like a virus". Here are 5 viral marketing strategies to help grow your business: 1. E-book: Purchase the branding rights to an E-book. Look for products that provide "branding rights". You can easily find e-books on the Internet that will sell you a license allowing you to change all the contact information to your own. That is where you can include your own name, website, and contact information. Allow people to give away your E-book to their visitors, and allow those visitors to give it away to other people. 2. Forums: Set up a forum or other bulletin board and allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board. Post comments about the benefits of your products every now and then. 3. Free graphics: Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. (If you don't have the know-how, hire someone.) Then, allow people to give away your free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site. Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact. 4. Ebook Advertising: Allow people to place an advertisement in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers. 5. Articles: One of the best viral marketing strategies is writing articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article. With just these 5 viral marketing strategies, you can explode your business to new levels. But don't just do this one. Put these strategies into action over and over, and then get ready to expand your business.
