The Greatest Marketing Idea of All Time
I saw a sales page dealing with Viral Marketing. The author made some claims that made me skeptical. Then I started reading about a new Viral Marketing Idea which was about as different as anyting that I had ever seen.
Their viral marketing strategy begins with their e-book being given away for free without even asking for your e-mail address. That is unheard of in modern Internet Marketing.
Affiliate Marketing is one of the most popular ways of making money online. There are thousands and thousands of products that you can promote and sell. Many products have a generous percentage given to the affiliate. Some even 70-100% of the cost to the consumer.
The key to getting started with this revolutionary strategy is to pick an affiliate product which is something that would be considered to be an impulse type product that will solve a pressing problem for the end buyer. Once the niche and the product are chosen, other related and associated products are selected which have resale rights.
How important is high Search Engine placement? It used to be that you MUST be listed high in the Search Engines. Not anymore with this strategy. All marketing is done in a viral method. Free items are ALWAYS given away as an inducement.
The creation of e-documents which solve problems, with the affiliate products woven throughout the document, is done in order to promote the affiliate products in a low key style.
Once the products that you want to promote and sell are woven throughout the document, you will give this article away for free to many ezine publishing sites. The distribution will be viral.
This viral article marketing strategy will work better than e-books. Viral Articles can be written in large numbers and distributed easily. The article can pre-sell the e-document.
To study this strategy, it is suggested that the free e-book be downloaded and analyzed in detail.
