6 viral marketing ideas

Here are six ideas to help you get your viral marketing campaign started:

1. Buy the trademark rights to a viral e-book. Let people give away your free e-book to their visitors. And then, their visitors will abandon it too. This will keep your ad posted all over the internet.

2. If you have the ability to create a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use an online discussion board for their website. Some people don't have one. Simply embed your banner ad at the top of the board.

3. Do you have a talent for web design? Create some templates, graphics, etc. and upload them to your site. Then, let people give away free web design graphics, fonts, templates, etc. Simply include your ad on them or ask people to link directly to your website. Make sure to include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and ask them to keep your copyright notice intact.

4. Write an e-book. Allow people to place an ad in your free eBook if they in return give away the eBook to your web visitors or E-zine subscribers.

5. Write articles related to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, e-zine, newsletter, magazine or e-book. Include your resource box and the option to reprint the article at the bottom of each article.

6. You can easily find products online that will sell you a license that allows you to distribute the product for free to other people. Look for those products that provide “brand rights”. This is where you can include your name, website, and contact information.
