What Makes Viral Marketing different?

Viral Marketing is a priceless marketing tool, and if you’re not already using it, you may be missing out on one of the most powerful and effective ways of driving substantial traffic to your website. Viral Marketing is a technique of marketing a product or service with the aim of creating “word of mouth”, usually on the internet or by e-mail.

Let me give you an example, you send an email to a list of 200 people saying, “Cosmetic Product” is the best product out there. 30 people on your email list forward your email to 10 of their friends and associates. This means that your email was actually read by 500 people.

Another sample is this; you send out a message that people should download your free report. 100 people see your message. 10 people “Remessage” your original message to 100 of their followers. So a total of 1100 people saw your message.

You are more likely to visit a webpage that is referred to you by someone you know. This type of marketing is like having an instant testimonial or a referral built right into your message because it is passed on to people that know each other

Once you launch your viral marketing project it will begin to grow without much more work on your part. As more and more people share your message with others, the effect is that your traffic will grow incredibly.

Give it your best short and try it out.
