Viral marketing is basically infecting people to market for you through word of mouth. Let take a look at Hotmail.com for example, they gave away free email account and every email message sent out there was a link at the bottom that offer end user free email account and from there Hotmail’s popularity grew overnight.
Blue Mountain Arts is a virtual greeting card company that also uses viral marketing effectively to grow their popularity. Basically they offer people free card to send to their friends and family and people who received the cards are invited back to the website to send free cards in reply.
You can learn from these two companies how they use viral marketing by keeping it simple but effective. You can also do the same by offering free product or service that can benefit people and drive traffic back to your site.
Besides offering free product or service, there are many ways you can make your message go viral. Here is a list which I’m taking directly from Mike Filsaimes viral marketing ebook title “Virology.â€
a) Worth Talking About b) Innovative c) Fresh/New d) Controversial e) Funny f) Heart-Warming g) Taboo h) Secretive i) Anticipation j) Inspirational
Remember when using these methods of viral marketing you do not want this to appear as an ad most of the time, but it’s more about entertaining people and at the same time you have your message weave into these elements to get your messages out to people without them realizing this is an ad.
One of the best medium you can use to get your message go viral is using video. If you have a great imagination and creativity and able to capture all this in a video, your viral marketing could be huge as people could simply watch it and tell their friends and so on and this could spread like wildfire.
