Are you looking for ways to promote your online business to a greater number of people? Have you heard of viral marketing tactics? Most often, people refer to viral marketing as something that is only short-lived and temporary. Well, it is undeniable that many online advertisements suffered that fate but the real viral campaign is set for longevity!
Viral marketing has existed for a long time already and its effectiveness has long been proven in the market. These types of marketing would still be effective if the Internet, smartphones and other instruments of communication were to be rendered useless. Here is a rundown of some ideas for your viral campaign planning.
- Use your skills in creating a web forum or bulletin board. Make one for yourself and let people use your online board for their own websites. People who do not have discussion boards online will find this very useful. Make sure to include your banner on top of the forum or bulletin.
- Buy the rights of a viral e-book and let people distribute the free e-book to their online visitors. When your visitors’ visitors give the e-book away, your ad will continue to spread on the World Wide Web.
- If you are talented in creating web designs, then it’s about time you use your gift for a viral campaign! Make some graphics, templates and other cool stuff and upload these on your website. Allow your visitors to use these but do not forget to include your witty advertisement pieces on them. Also, ensure to include a link back to your own site in the copyright notice.
- Write articles about your services or products and post them on the Internet. Let the readers reprint these on their sites, newsletters, magazines, e-books and e-zines. Always place the article reprint option at the bottom of your articles and include your resource box as well.
- Create an e-book and let online users place their advertisements in it. In return, they must give away the e-book to their visitors and e-zine subscribers too.
- Search on the Internet for products that are selling licenses for “branding rights”. These will allow you to give away products for free to your visitors online. Include your own name, site and contact details so people could reach you.
