Viral Marketing

What does viral marketing mean. To market a product in such a
way that it may continue to bring in sales into the future.

The best example of this is affiliate links in an ebook or
newsletter. When a newsletter goes out to a marketers opt in
mailing list or he gives away a free report or a free ebook
inevitably somewhere in the content is an affiliate link or a
link to another one of the writer’s products.

Is this sneaky? Shouldn’t they tell you up front that they are
trying to sell you something? If these thoughts popped into your
mind wake up! Who was the one that downloaded the free ebook or
signed up for that free report or newsletter from an Internet
marketer? Just because something is free does not mean it
doesn’t have merit and real value.

The author of the freebie is giving away his hard earned
knowledge. Most of the time the reader is getting very
worthwhile information. This is because if the writer doesn’t
establish himself as an expert on the subject how could he
expect you to want to read more of his / her work?

Furthermore it is in the author’s best interest to recommend a
quality product, because he wants to establish credibility with
the reader. I have learned more from some free products than I
have from some ebooks I paid for. I recommend taking advantage
of free material. You can learn from it and you can also
evaluate the author’s communicating skills. If his free stuff is
bad there isn’t any reason to pay to read his other books.

The best products I have ever bought have been through a direct
recommendation via an affiliate link by a quality Internet
marketer. By reading his free information I had a basis to make
a judgment call on his expertise and credibility.

Affiliate links can be beneficial to both the author and the
reader. Remember you can always tell a tree by its fruit. A
quality author will always provide useable and fresh information.

If you want quality traffic you need to attract the people who
are interested in what you are selling. Provide a benefit that
will give them a reason to stop at your site. Always make your
first impression with quality FREE information that has real
value. Do not think of a customer as your next mortgage payment
but look to establish a long-term relationship of mutual benefit
to the both of you. Your customers, you, and I will all profit
more by working together and learning from each other.
