Unleash Your Information Virus - How To Create A Viral Marketing Superbug!

What makes viral marketing so powerful? Let's compare it to a "normal" virus. You've had a stinking cold, right? I guess you caught it from a family member, a friend or a work colleague. Then you've gone home and before you know it, your whole family has gone down with the flu.

Viral marketing is similar, only without the runny nose and the sneezing fits.

Provide something of value, normally information, through driving traffic to your website. Then people access your valuable information, pass it on to their friends, who then pass it on to their friends and your "information virus" starts to spreading.

So, how can you start an "information virus"?

By creating quality articles, videos, audios, software and e-books.

Write useful articles, that provide answers to peoples questions, and you can release a virus. If your article is posted to your blog, and proves popular, you can get a huge amount of traffic if you get it bookmarked on the social bookmarking sites such as Digg.com, StumbleUpon or Del.icio.us.

If you have posted your article to article directories, such as articledashboard.com, ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com, you may well discover it on numerous websites and in ezines. All, of course, containing a link to your website in the "Author's Resources" box.

Videos and Audios are much the same. Again, create a useful video or audio and make sure your website is mentioned throughout. List owners will be falling over each other to pass on your video or audio and you can soon have the viral marketing effect come in to play.

Software can be created or bought with rebranding rights. If the rights allow it, give the software away. It will have links to your website built in and could provide massive amounts of traffic. Espwecially if you allow other people to give it away as well.

And on to my favourite...

E-books are an extension of articles really. Create a valuable e-book, which contains links to your website(s) and give it away. Yes, give it away for nothing. And more over, allow people that you give it to to give it away aswell. If it's good enough, people will jump at the chance to give their subscribers a valuable resource for free. It helps build their trust and credibility.

Better still, make SOME of the links top affiliate products in your e-books rebrandable. This gives other people an additional incentive to pass on your e-books. They can earn money simply by giving them away!

I trust that you will have picked up an idea or two that will help you unleash your viral marketing superbug.
