Viral Marketing Campaigns To Promote Your Affiliate Links
I have been reserving this topic for a thorough discussion in a future entry, but for this purpose, let’s
tackle it concisely. Viral marketing is the utilization of promotional strategies that would fuel the
exponential spread of your business message, i.e. your affiliate links in this case. It’s named as viral
marketing because the process is comparable to the workings of a virus. Just like how a virus would
easily spread once it finds a host, so too, will your business message spread once it finds some initial
networks for its distribution. If done correctly, this could explode your affiliate program foray into the
best home based business possible!
Viral marketing is most usually, and effectively, carried out through information products like eBooks
and special reports. This is because digital products like these can easily be “branded” with your affiliate
links.
If you’re promoting dog products, for example, you could write an eBook about dog grooming and
distribute it for free. In the pages of the said eBook, you could subtly recommend to your readers the
efficacy of your affiliate merchant’s products. You could also populate the pages with your affiliate
links, whenever appropriate. This could lead to the best results for your home based business.
The eBook, or other information products you’d decide to implement, would be distributed for free, and
this alone could be enough incentive for the recipients to spread the same to their respective networks.
But the best home based business of this nature involves premium products that are original and highly
educational. If your digital products are of the highest quality and revealing some very rare information,
the more they would be re-distributed and the more your business message would spread.
Creating your own information product isn’t as hard as you think. In an earlier entry, we have discussed
the basics of product creation and how it all starts with an honest appraisal of what you could do. Check
it out, my friend. Just to summarize, here’s a simple rule that I have realized from my years of dabbling
with digital products:
Write for your audience and give them something that you yourself would be proud of.
If you would be able to do this, then you’re halfway through your task of having the best home based
business possible!
All you have to do is to find an incentive that would inspire your recipients to distribute your product so
that your business message can be spread in the most efficient way possible. This shouldn’t be difficult
because there are a lot of models you could learn from, and they are employed by the best home
businesses today.
Sometimes, a simple reminder that your audience can freely distribute the said product is enough. There
are times when they have to be rewarded for their efforts, like a prize per number of successful referrals.
Or perhaps the promise of exclusive use of a product is in order.
However, the best scenario that you should aim for is the spread of your business message through the
mere strength of your free product alone. And this you could achieve by making sure of the premium
quality of the same.
We will discuss viral marketing and the many, many ways that it can offer to help you establish the best
home based business there could ever be in later entries, dear friend.
