5. Viral Marketing

There must be a better label for this technique. If you can get folks talking about your site to their friends, co-workers, relatives or fellow travelers, you are on your way to creating a 'BUZZ'.

Have you ever seen those ebooks out there. You see them all the time, especially those with free resale rights? These are typical viral marketing ideas. The basis is simple, write something of value and give it away. Tell other people they can give it away too. Before you know it, your information is spread out all over the world. How does this benefit you? Well, the information you wrote will have links to your website in it, links to affiliate programs you are a part of, so when someone clicks on it and buys something, you get paid, plus it helps build brand awareness. More people become familiar with your company and recognize seeing your products. That way when they are in the market to buy the type of product you sell, you will be first in their mind. It is amazing how that works.

How do you start a viral marketing buzz? Write a brief ebook about something you know a lot about. Maybe hire someone to build a software program for you that you can give away for free, while having links built into the program so people will go back to your site.
