Viral Marketing for Affiliate Programs Web Site Promotion
Mr David Greene
- What the heck is viral marketing, anyhow, and why is it so effective on the Internet?
Viral marketing takes it's name from the way once underway a virus infection spreads. Viruses are prolific creatures and once they start duplicating and spreading out they can be difficult to stop. Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight become sixteen, that sort of thing.
Before you know it you have an army of the darn things marching along, a force not to be taken lightly. In the war between viruses and humans thay can gang up on you and kill you fast if you don't take proper precautions. As the power of duplication kicks in they can kill you and a lot of others at an ever increasing rate.
Viral Marketing vs Real Viruses.
Fortunately, when it comes to viruses of the Internet marketing sort viral marketing is a good thing. Instead of killing you, when you understand how to apply it to your marketing efforts and keep at it long enough viral marketing will make you rich. Being rich may not guarantee you a long happy life and freedom from viral infections of the medical sort but for most folks for some reason being rich is still an appealing prospect.
So what is Internet viral marketing?
Let's keep it simple. Let's say you have a product that appeals to a lot of people and you are giving it away free. Yep, no charge. As you know, most people are social creatures and do talk and interact with each other. Folks like to spread the word about a good deal and will tell their friends,family, and Internet buddies about their good fortune, especially about how they got it free.
Internet Viral Infections Spread Fast Once Started.
This is how the internet viral infection begins to spread. You tell your friend, who tells his friend via the Internet, who sends an immediate email to his Internet buddy. You live in Dallas, Texas, your friend lives in London, and his friend lives in Thailand. Wow! With the power of the Internet at work a few folks getting the ball rolling can have an international group of people put together in hardly any time at all.
That is what makes Internet viral marketing so exciting. News travels so quickly, locally and internationally, that the spread of the information is very much like the spread of a virus. Hence the term "viral marketing"
There is one question that you should ask. If everyone is in for free how does anyone make any money? What good is it to build an international group of tens of thousands if no money is changing hands? Well the not so secret secret is this. Once you have a large group in place you can "backend" all sorts of services and products that relate to that groups interests.
A Little Slice Many Times Over Adds Up.
When you are involved in a networking company or an affiliate program where you get a little slice of the money flow in your large organization you can get very rich very fast. Not without work, and not without some time going by, say two to three years. But very fast indeed compared to most business situations.
Even if you are a bit lazy and not fully committed to making a lot of money earning a few hundred extra dollars every month should make you a viral marketing fan for life. Am I right?
