Ten Viral Marketing Strategies For Your Campaigns
When people are first getting started in trying to understand viral internet marketing they typically have a lot of questions as to what types of strategies and what methods actually work with viral marketing strategies.
Let’s take a quick little walk into the world of some of the most popular and top ways to use viral internet marketing selling to your advantage.
1. Firstly and no doubt most importantly, think beneficial…
The viral nature or aspect of the offer has to be very beneficial to the reciever. You can take a look at it anyway you want, but this is the top job. This, as with most things, is easier said than done. Whether it’s beneficial emotionally, monetarily, a gift or otherwise, this is the foundation of any viral campaign to take off.
Mind you, if this part was so easy to pull off..we’d never get any sleep because of the bombardment of viral spread. So, when you look at it…it’s really quite awesome that in reality it’s tough.
2. Reverse thinking in email marketing and blogging is something you can do. Always try and work your way backwards from your subject line or headline on your blog post.
The thing is..If not easy to implement and concise..and off the start, be sure to mention the benefits…it probably won’t work out for you virally.
3. From the saying that has been around for what seems forever…
K.I.S.S
Keep It Simple Stupid
Remember, you have to get a person’s interest fast. Confusion or destractions can’t play a part in your messages the viewer is recieving!
Right, but let’s be clever…but realize some people might not get it as easily as others.
Alright then, what ways do you think will help the reader to “take notice” and happily pass things on?
4. Well..this is no surprise and it shouldn’t come as one. Obviously, “Sex Sells”.
Of course it’s most likely NOT sex you will be selling. But, if you’d like to get a flow going..and create a bit of intrigue and curiousity..sneaky suggestive sexual inuendos can do the trick. These types of things let people have fun with thier friends and some can’t resist.
5. The funny bone has to be “got”! Humour works very well with viral ideas you’d like to spread. Don’t forget this. Think about how many commercials you’ve seen where you said to friends, “God, you have to see that commercial? It’s hilarious!”
6. Brand Or Name Leveraging- A very good way to use viral marketing is by leveraging well known figures, brands, people etc. For the most part, popular items or entities won’t require as much information. Something that is well known will help you identify on a more personal level with the recipient.
Be sure to check out all of the legal litigations of doing something like this though, before moving ahead with it.
7. A natural approach to getting your messages to take off is much better. Trying to hard has a nasty way of firing back at you, people dislike this sort of thing. People have pride and want to think they came up with the idea all on their own. If you have done your part on creating good viral marketing aspects, this will take care of itself.
8. What’s in the new or headlines? What’s popular?
If you can utilize already popular events it can help you to get your own thing happening. People are aleady talking about it. Try and use this to your advantage!
9. Everybody loves a mystery! Creating mystery or keeping people hanging with a viral marketing concept can only help get that interest happening. Of course, just like with everything else, in the end…come clean, or somebody might get po’d!
10. Think about reality. Advertising, corporate style, gives people a bad taste in their mouth at times. It’s better to come off with down home and more earthy viral message. Your messages will work better if people feel more comfort by being able to identify with the message easier.
