What is Viral Marketing?

 


There are all of these “hottest things going” right now. Okay, so I know about Social Websites and Social Networking – now here’s another one: What the heck is “Viral” marketing?
A:

In a nutshell, viral marketing is a marketing technique that spreads information by “word-of-mouth”. In business, the message is sent out to make websites and users pass the message on to other websites and users -and the message creates potential growth due to its effect and visibility. Thus, if a business gets their message out there and people like it, they’ll tell their friends, who will tell their friends, and this can end up being hugely profitable for the business. As an advertising tool you can’t get anything cheaper.



One of the very first hugely-successful viral marketing campaigns is about one of the first free Web-based e-mail services – Hotmail. Think about the product (free e-mail and other services), the way to promote it (put a small banner at the bottom of every free message that is sent out that says “free e-mail at http://www.hotmail.com"), and then think about all of the people that received this free message who then e-mailed all of the people on their network who saw the banner and signed up for the free e-mail program, and kept it going by sending the message on to yet another group of friends…
Or let’s say you want to promote your product and reading about it is the best way to get a handle on it, so you send and give out free e-books about your product.


YouTube is becoming fast becoming a great way to do viral marketing. You promote your product on a video - without being boring or coming off as a know-it-all and maybe add a little humor – and voila! The people seeing it that like it will “share” it with their friends and subscribers and you’re on your way.
You can use the “viral” premise in more than marketing.
Did you ever want to see a movie and not gone because a really good friend of yours said it stunk? No amount of money put into jazzy advertising promotions for a movie can overcome a bad word-of-mouth review.
I once got a message from a friend of a friend that forwarded a “huge virus!” warning to me. I looked it up and it was a hoax. I wrote back and gave her the link showing that it was a hoax, but by this time all of my friends and their friends and their co-workers and their relatives were all freaking out and forwarding the virus warning to all of their other friends and relatives and co-workers – this is an example of a way to go viral through e-mail (no pun intended).
On a similar note, when I was a kid there was always the occasional chain letter that I would get in the mail (with no return address) – “Pass this on to 10 friends or you will die at midnight in three days. Don’t break the chain!”. (Do they send these in the mail anymore, or just through e-mail? I digress.)
And of course the traditional rumor mill from anywhere – be it work or your personal life – is always interesting (whether it’s good or bad), and can be spread very quickly to a lot of people. Whatever the rumor is, that’s the viral message being sent out to everybody.
You get the idea. If it’s viral, it spreads. Viral marketing is an awesome “word-of-mouth” technique that can promote many things. And with good strategy and a great message, viral marketing can be very profitable, indeed.

How often should we clean our Registry

On the Internet, you will find several Web sites promoting the use of Registry programs. These Web sites make you aware of the importance of registry maintenance and how registry programs can simplify the process. However, there is very little information available on how often you need to scan the registry.

Quite often, we hear people asking you to clean up your registry on a daily basis. However, the truth is that there are no specific set norms that control how often you need to clean your Windows Vista registry.

In fact, the frequency of registry repair and clean up activity depends on several factors. For instance, if your computer is new and you do not make any major changes to it, you may not need to perform a registry scan for a long time.

Blogging tips you can't do without

I’ve seen a lot of lists that try to focus bloggers on the types of posts that really attract readers. Here are some that cover the basics...

Here are some blogging tips that you cannot do without..

If your blog is looking for a new lease on life, or perhaps you’re just starting out, take a look at these topics and make sure that your blog has a little bit of eveything peppered throughout!


Post Type #1: Motivational Posts

Do not underestimate the need for positive reinforcement. It may seem odd to you, but readers look for guidance on the blogosphere, especially within similar niches. Finding that post that get you over the hump, or breaks that writer’s block you’ve been going through really does amazing things. Whether it’s blog writing specific or life generalized advice, motivational posts can be a key factor in having readers spread the word about the positivity your blog exudes.

Post Type #2: The List Post

Lists posts are extremely popular with online readers. Why? Consider them short and to the point. When readers want quick information it’s easier to skim the list and find what they need, and it’s also a great way to share a lot of information in a short time. Lists can be Top 10, Top 20, or even Top 5, but they can swing the other way too with topics such as 5 Worst…, 10 Ways To…, etc. Give it a try and watch how many people will skim across the post.

Post Type #3: Trending Topics

Having your finger on the pulse of online media can really be the best thing for your blog. By staying on top of trending topics, readers will find your site with little effort. Not to say you can’t still write about what you’re interested, but in every topic there are trends that are really hot, and will drive a lot of traffic to your site.

Post Type #4: Controversial Post

Everyone has an opinion right? Are you sharing yours? A lot of people are afraid to share their ideas because they are afraid to drive away readers and possibly immerse themselves in controversy. Little do they know that creating buzz is not necessarily a bad thing. By creating healthy debates on your site, readers will flock to your site to chime in. In some cases larger issues can gain mainstream media attention further increasing the awareness of your blog.

Post Type #5: How-To Post

If you’ve got readers looking up how to do something specific, then readers will come to your site if you’ve got that specific they are looking for. Take the topic you’re writing about and craft a post that outline how-to steps from beginning to end. By holding the reader’s hand, and displaying your expertise, you’ve built an online relationship with your reader that will keep them coming back. They’ll also have no problem sharing your site with others to pass the knowledge around.

Why to Use Images within Blog posts?
Images within posts serve as visual cues for your visitors. It helps them to understand what the blog post is about. Researches have shown that, most of the people(including me) view and read on the screen much different than the printed page.
