In the world of Internet Marketing it's so easy to get caught 'doing it doing it doing it' instead of developing a pre-meditated marketing strategy and sticking to it for the long-term.
The term 'viral marketing' is becoming more and more popular. Many people in the Internet Marketing field know that it refers to putting into place techniques that will enable the automated gathering of new prospective customers.
Here are 3 top ways to help you start marketing your website virally today:
1) Publish a free ebook and make it available for free on http://www.download.com. All you have to do is produce a 10 to 20 page PDF book on your chosen topic, include plently of links back to your website and and some affiliate links if you wish and publish it. If it's any good and people like the information then they'll share it with their friends.
2) Produce some screencapture videos and publish them on http://www.YouTube.com. Whatever your specialist subject, pick a subject within it that that you're able to train people on and put together a simple 5 to 10 minute 'how to' video. One of the best paid-for pieces of software that you can use for this is Camtasia, but there are less feature rich, cheaper or free screen capture software programs available. Remember to include your website address at the bottom of the video!
3) Turn your customers into your sales team. Who best to sell your products or services that the people who are willing to pay money from them?!?
Make sure that it's in your automated post-sales process to offer your most recent customers the opportunity to earn back their investment by making 2 or 3 sales to anyone else.
Good luck with your viral marketing!
