How To Use Viral Marketing To Boost Your Business

Creativity: This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized. It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big.
Worse of all, you business could just get killed. While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.
While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems.
You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.
Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company.
They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.
In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family.
They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.
Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing at relatively low cost.
To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well. Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing.  They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage
The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company.
You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

3 Key Things To Know Before You Can Start Making Money Online

The easiest way to get money is to offer services with your skills and get paid for it. So the main three ways you can make money online is listed below:

1. First, You need to SELL something: When people hear about making money on the internet what comes to mind most of them time is internet fraud. The truth is this happens online and you have to be careful but the kind of Legitimate online income I’m telling you about you have to SELL something online. You have to exchange value for money. 
 
Nobody gives you money for nothing unless they just want to “dash” you and they dont even do that.
 But in terms of business, you have to sell a product or service in order to make money. So do not run away from selling or marketing online, infact you must look for opportunities to excel in the skill of selling and marketing.

2. You need MONEY to make money online:

 If you want to start an offline business, for example a boutique you will need money for shop rent, money to buy clothes to stock your shop, money for different things and you could be spending a whole lot to set it up, right? Sometimes even up to $500 depending on what you want to achieve.

The same thing with the online business. But the really amazing thing about the online business is you do NOT need a huge sum of money to start it and even run it like all other offline businesses. Infact with about $100 you can start a highly profitable online business which would provide month by-month dependable income in terms of profits at the long run. You will need money for a website, an autoresponder, hosting etc but most especially for marketing and advertising your business to people.

This is the reason many people who start their online businesses fail, some of these things such as websites, autoresponders  and others can be gotten for as little as $100 or even FREE, but they fail because they never earmark some money for marketing and advertising. So you need money to Promote your website.

3. You need to sell to people around you:

There are over 5 Billion people on earth and about half of these people readily have access to the internet – some for fun, research,  some to educate themselves and SOLVE their problems. Many are looking for solutions to the different problems they have and if you can solve their problems for them, they will PAY you for it without necessarily seeing you face to face. 
 
They would pay into your online account such as paypal, payza, mastercard, visa e.t.c. But many are looking for ways to sell to foreigners, clickbank sales, pay to read emails, pay to type programs  and so on. Please note that some of these online freelance job sites do not accept or work for some countries. Below are Two Online Business Models anybody can use to make money online.

1. Information Marketing Business:

This is a Million Dollar business. Infact many young people in their 20’s and 30’s (undergraduates) have made money online from this business model on several occasions. As the name implies, it is a business where you sell information as a product. 
 
By selling information, I mean any knowledge anybody wants to know about, which solves a particular problem for them can be SOLD to them. People have sold information like make money online, lose weight, get a spouse, make love to your wife, start a farm business, free internet access and cheat codes e.t.c. You can sell any information that solves a problem for others using your hobbies, knowledge you already have or ideas about.

2. Affiliate Marketing Business:

This business is the fastest way to have your online business up and running in the next 14 days, unlike the information business which can take anywhere from 1-2 months to get started and running. This is a business where you sell other people’s products online and get a commission. I’m talking about HUGE commissions from 30-60% depending on the product offer.
