A self promoting ability or 'viral' selling point is something a site or digital product must hold to achieve success in the hard-nosed competition in the current Internet based business area. In the present high level of competition and challenge from other businesses being commonly experienced by all marketers, every trick of marketing must be devised and brought into play.
It doesn't matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don't know that you are there, they certainly aren't going to grow your business, and without an extra ingredient you will never find the success you seek.
The worst thing is, your business may just not survive, as there are so many publicity gaining ideas brought into play by so many online business sites in the present web scene. However, there are still some techniques that can assist you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings.
This is the thing many dream of called Viral Marketing. While the term viral usually brings to mind thoughts of a computer virus; a concept very much dreaded by all owners and users of computers, it is not a virus in this sense at all. So don't worry that you will need to use a computer virus to spread your business! No business person with any sense would do that.
In addition, all computer users have seen far too many of those intrusive pop ups and adware and spyware, so nothing viral would ever use these.
Viral Marketing, also known by many as Viral Advertising, is a marketing method used to build the public awareness of one's product or company.
The technique of Viral Advertising when done well uses many categories of media to innovative in a way that gets a significant proportion of the people participating amused enough to actually pass the material on. The clever bit is that the product or company advertisement moves along with it.
To say this in another way, companies use the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and acquaintances. Businesses sponsor various media, such as a cool flash game, short video for You Tube, email story with a weird twist, and such, which one may pass on to another with the promoter's brand or logo.
Viral marketing has become such a frequently seen method of raising the brand by publicity and marketing due to the fact that it can most often be achieved at relatively low cost.
Email is cheap and is commonly used for Viral Marketing, but a tricky problem for marketers for email is to avoid their message being stopped by email filters.
A hot viral promotion concept that is at the moment demonstrating surprisingly rapid success
is to offer a replacement for email among a group of marketers, as a small software download permanently active on their PCs. Both upline and downline participants can then be certain that their communications will be received, and the concept is very popular for both new and time served marketers.
Joining this developing method of viral marketing can easily propel inexperienced marketers ahead in list building, and generate high profits.
Two systems currently thriving for their members are Desk Top Lightning (since Autumn 2006), and Viral Shock.com. Both are the sort of things you would want to pass on to your friends. DeskTopLightning has a large user membership now. ViralShock.com from Justin Blake, has just launched (April 2007). Justin's is likely to be a particularly good choice right now, as its growth is most probably at its fastest for affiliate sales.
All it takes is a great idea, and those that are joining now are reaping the benefits of Viral Marketing.
