Viral Marketing with Ease

You’ve probably heard the term viral marketing multiple times. Did you know what it meant? Viral marketing is essentially encouraging others to pass along your marketing message. With viral marketing, one person may tell two or three others about the offer and those people will each tell two or three people, and from there it just grows and grows. Viral marketing uses many different modes of transportation as well, such as ebooks, videos, articles, images, and even games, blogs.

 

So, how can you break into viral marketing? First, understand it. Viral marketing has been around since about 1996, when Jeffrey Rayport first used the term. He was a Harvard Business School professor. The first example of viral marketing on the Internet was Hotmail – they gave away email service for free, and put advertising messages in each email that was sent out from this free email account. As you can see from this example, the idea is to get your message out to as many people as possible, with very little effort on your part.

Today, social networking on the Internet makes viral marketing extremely easy. You simply find a few people who have what is known as an SNP or high social networking potential. Think for just a minute about all of those cute poems and such that are forwarded en-mass to everyone in someone’s address book. While this is annoying to many people, there are those who really enjoy this process of passing things along.

——————————————————————————

How can you do this without appearing to be a spammer? Easy, get in on the ‘forward this along to everyone you know’ revolution. When you receive one of these email messages, add your own marketing message to the bottom of it – or even the top, and forward it along to everyone in your address book. Just make sure that you are not forwarding it to anyone who has asked that you not forward things of this nature.

 

Take advantage of the social networking sites, such as MySpace.com, in the form of video. You can simply create a video of interest to your target audience, and post it on your MySpace page. Hopefully, you’ve gone through the process of creating a large friends list. You can then broadcast that video to everyone on your friends list.

 

You can also take that video and place it on a site such as YouTube.com, tag it with your keywords, and let people’s interests lead the way. Make sure that you let it be known that others can use the video on their websites, as long as they don’t change it. Again, it must hold interest to your target market, or it won’t be successful.

 

Just by doing these three simple things, you will find out what the power of viral marketing is really all about, and just how easy it has become.

4 Critical Mistakes on List Building

As an Internet Marketer, building an opt-in list is vital to your overall success. This has been the case for as long as we have used the Internet as a marketing tool. Having an opt-in list allows you to immediately contact customers when new products are available, and also allows you to continue to market products which your list have not yet bought.

There are many ways to build an opt-in list, but there are also many mistakes that can be made along the way. Here are five critical mistakes that can be made, and how to avoid them.

1.      Failure to build a relationship with your list. Building a list is one thing, using it to your advantage is something else. You’ve got to keep in touch with your list. Weekly mailings are advised. Twice weekly mailings are better. Daily mailings are okay, but you don’t want to go overboard. Relationship building goes a little further in that you must answer emails from your list, and the email you send to them needs to be from a personal viewpoint – not sole advertisement.

2.      Failure to see that quality matters over quantity. Having a big list is great, unless it’s totally unresponsive. When you build your list, remember that the number of list members you have isn’t nearly as important as their interest in your topic. A small list of very responsive people will always do better than a large list of mostly unresponsive people.

3.      Failure to take advantage of list building opportunities. These days, it doesn’t take years to build a healthy opt-in list. It can be done in a matter of a few weeks. Yes, you should follow all of the old techniques, but take advantage of the new techniques as well. Get involved in joint venture giveaways. Start doing some social networking. Use social bookmarks. Build your list in every way possible.

4.      Failure to use a top-of-the-line autoresponder. This is another huge mistake that people make. Autoresponders of poor quality don’t deliver as well as they should. Many are automatically blocked by spam filters – regardless of what words are used in your message. Many don’t send the emails out in a timely manner. Many malfunction and send multiple emails (identical) out to each person on the list. Avoid these problems by starting with a quality autoresponder from the very beginning. Your opt-in list will thank you for it.

I hope you enjoyed the article and hopefully I was able to supply you with some information that will help you succeed with your listbuilding efforts.

What Type Of Blogger Are You?

Hello

Today I want to discuss the blogging phenomenon, and
see what type of blogger you are - I divide all bloggers
into 3 categories - NBY (Not Blogging Yet), OB (occasional
blogger) and PB (Professional Blogger).

   There are 70 million blogs online today, and thousands
more each day - yet many IMers STILL haven’t got their
first blog online yet. Are you an NBY? There’s a good
reason why NBY and newbie are phonetically similar - both
are marks of those new to the biz. Experienced big-dog
markters know there’s very little that has the power of
your own blog, especially tools that are available for no
outlay, like blogging is.

Visit Seven Bucks Today
   Are you liable to get thousands or tens of thousands
flocking to your blog each day? No. As an IMer, do you
care? Again, no. Because that’s not why you’re blogging;
you’re blogging to get your links spidered by the big
engines quickly, and to be able to use the Web 2.0 sites
to get people to your online empire and onto your lists.

On to OBs - you know it if you’re an OB, because you
find yourself feeling guilty over not posting to your
blog on a regular basis. oh ys, you DO have a blog or 2,
you just haven’t updated them in forever. It may be you’re
not sure what to write, it may be you’ve been too busy
with other stuff, or maybe you’ve just been lazy for the
last bit, who knows? The fact remains - you’re not liable
to change in a hurry, are you?

Visit Seven Bucks Today

   For OBs, it’s John Delavera to the rescue. John created
the ‘WordPress Blogs Auto Content Generator’ - a big name
for a simple little script that can ease your guilt - and
make your blog a lot more effective. You choose from the
millions of RSS feeds online, and the script adds info
from those other blogs to yours, keeping it updated with
fresh content up to once a day.

   While it will never replace your own posts for driving
people to your sites, it can keep the engines coming
back to your blog over and over. Just be sure to choose
feeds with content written around the right keywords for
your sites… You can download the generator from:
On to PBs - Professional Bloggers. You’re running one,
or more likely a few blogs, your main one and some geared
to each niche you’re active in. You post to each once a
week or more, and usually more often to your main blog.
While the Generator above is fine for a few of your niches
you’re just dabbling in, you’d never settle for that on
your main blogs…

   You ping the directories with each post, have a plugin
creating and updating your Google sitemaps, another to do
your technorati tags, and use your MyBlogLog community to
keep your audience growing - you’re serious about this and
are seeing all the benefits that go with it.

   Well, time to kick it up another notch, then! Many think
Podcasting and Vlogging (video blogging) must be truly
difficult or require major outlays - and they think it’s
just to give a more personal touch to your blogs. Nope.
Both give you access to a whole new raft of directories the
blogging alone doesn’t reach, and you know what more access
to directories and Web 2.0 sites means - more visitors,
more exposure and more results across the board.

   The PodPress plugin adds your audios to your blog to make
podcasts, and there’s a great resource about video blogging
from Liz Tomey, and this week you can download VideoBlogger
from our site at:

Jeff Dedrick’s Hidden Sales Project

The feedback is in and its even better than
I realized.

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=644065

Okay, here’s what the hype is about…

A friend of mine — Jeff Dedrick — was
telling me about what he learned from
Harley-Davidson Motorcycles:

They DON’T make most of their money selling
motorcycles!

Nope.

Most of the fat stacks of Harley cash come
from all the OTHER stuff they sell their
customers: shirts, leather, helmets, and
about a gazillion other accessories.

Amazing.

But…

—————————————————–
HERE’S WHAT REALLY BLEW ME AWAY
—————————————————–

Jeff then told me about a buddy of his that
just finished up a “product launch” of an
ebook.

I know — yawn. How boring, right?

Until you realize that his “ebook launch” did
nearly $90,000.

But that was just the beginning…

——————————————
THE $400,000 EBOOK LAUNCH
——————————————

Jeff told me that this “buddy” of his was
just getting started with that $90,000.

The magic was in what happened AFTER the
first sale was made — much like what Harley
does with all their “side” or “back end”
items.

This “little ebook launch” ended up doing
$400,000.

You read that right.

$400,000.

I realized that even though I often “think” I’m watching
a launch and understanding what’s going on…

…I’m MISSING the real action that happens
behind the scenes.

Get it?

The “front end” product is NEVER the REAL
STORY for successful marketers.

Even on what you might ASSUME is a “small”
product launch.

You know, like a “little ebook”.

These are the “hidden sales”.

And the HIDDEN SALES…

…are where ALL THE MONEY IS MADE.

Visit Jeffs site now and see for yourself
what all the hype is about
