So just what is A Viral Marketing Campaign comprised of?
It's really just a method to get your message out to as many people as possible by word of mouth. In other words the idea is to get your message out much like a computer virus would spread.
Catching the virus in this case though is a fantastic thing; in this context it's people becoming aware of your info and your web site.
Now the actual message can be in many formats, video,email, podcast, whatever. The idea is to convince internet users who already have your message to share it to people they know, multiplying your message spreading exponentially.
First, let me make it clear that I am not advocating spamming millions of people.
Apart from the legalities of doing this, spamming is just dumb, because often not even seen due to smart spam filters, and even if it happens to be read it's certainly not going to spread is it? After all if it makes it past the spam folders and actually makes it into someone's Inbox, it's just going to get deleted when and if it is looked at.
At this point I would suggest relevant useful content is the key. Giving value to prospects is the key.
So how do we get visitors to do your grubby work for you? How do you get them to do that? Spread your viral content that is.
First things first, it really needs to be something relevant and useful.
In other words it has to have real value. The person who has received your message has to really believe it will give value to someone else otherwise they won't pass it on to anyone else.
One thing I have found in this industry is real power of jv's. It's a heck of a lot easier to get your message out there if you have others in the industry with large lists of their own.
Let's say you have released a new Video Series. You currently have a mailing list of 1000 prospects who have expressed an interest or actually purchased something from you in the past.
Your product should be of course in a related niche so you feel sure you can generate at least some interest in it from your readers so that is the first place to attack.
You will probably find that some of your customers will send the offer to their family if they think it's worthy.
Ahhh the power of word of mouth advertising, Can there be any more powerful force in advertising then getting your customers telling their colleagues how cool, hip and fantastic you and your products are? This is a real viral marketing example on steroids.
If you can get list members telling their friends about your information and then once they sign up and then tell their family well you can see that it will take very little time at all to have a fantastic response to your sales message.
You'll be needing to buy new servers for your website because the old one has blown up with massive web traffic you get.
