Viral marketing has been around for a long time now; remember Hotmail? The reason why viral marketing gives results is mainly because, it utilizes human emotions. In the world of offline marketing this is called “word of mouth” and it is an incredibly powerful form of marketing that won’t cost you even one penny. Whether or not you will be able to use it to build your business is the real question. The answer is: yes, totally.

YouTube is one of the most easily recognized viral marketing places: just upload a video about your business! You want your video content to stand out from the crowd. Do not copy other people and be one of those “me too” video producers. Instead, introduce freshness and creativity to your videos. People love spreading original videos that were helpful in some way. Videos work really well because it is easy for them to go viral. So when you use them as part of your viral marketing campaign you are almost cinching your success. Of course, don’t think that just any video will go viral because that just won’t happen. Your video needs to be interesting if you want people to share it. Use the social media to kick off your viral marketing campaign. A network of friends and colleagues is a great way to initiate your campaign. Nowadays, social media has become an integral part of a viral marketing campaign. It is social media that makes viral marketing so easy, especially compared to a few years ago when the only way to share news was e-mail. But in order to make this work, first create a strong network where you can pass your message throughout the network. You can also do things to push it forward like posting your YouTube video within your social network of choice like Facebook or Twitter.
An easy way to start your viral marketing campaign is to give away a free product that has been tailor made for your target audience. Do not forget to include your company’s branding along with all of the correct contact information so that, when your product spreads out across the internet, the receivers will know who to contact if they want more of your products or services. To sum up, there isn’t anything mysterious about viral marketing. It is just a way to get people in your chosen market to help you promote your business without having to spend a lot of money or time on things. So if you want to really make it big in your online business by virally marketing it, then now’s the time. If you are consistent in your efforts and take regular promotional action, you will find a good and profitable campaign.
