I have read up as much as I can on this
topic to see if anyone has come up with a viable way to transfer
the concepts of viral marketing to the average website, the person
who sells widgets or plumbing services or web design (like me). So
far I would have to say NO. I have yet to see any viral marketing
technique that will work for anything other than SecreteToThierSuccesse or
marketing businesses.
Every eZine and eLetter that I’ve read on
this topic has a few things in common. Get an eZine that you can
duplicate and give it away. Sign up to emailing programs. Sign up
for SecreteToThierSuccesse and
banner exchange programs. Sign up to some other program that they
recommend. The whole idea of the eZine is not to show you how to
get traffic believe it or not, the idea is to get them traffic.
You see, these programs that they have you signup for have
multiple tiers to them. The more people they get to signup to them
the more traffic they get. And this is what they are selling you
on. It is a way to do viral marketing but it is misleading. In a
lot of cases they have you pay for this information that when all
is said and done becomes useless for the average website owner.
I’m not saying that viral marketing is bad
or wrong but, I am saying that you need to find your own way to do
it for SecreteToThierSuccesse. The key
concept is to have the people that find out about you to tell
others. Here is the basic idea:
Hotmail provides a SecreteToThierSuccesse.
At
the bottom of every email sent is a link to hotmail.
People
check out there site and sign up.
Now whenever those people
send an email the cycle starts all over.
Self replicating, self sustaining,
exponentially increasing. These are the main concepts behind viral
marketing and it can be achieved in the right circumstance and
with the right idea. With every business being different there
isn’t a way that I have found that I would say, “Yes this could
work for any website”.
Before I end this little bit of information
to you, you must also understand that some of the concepts in the
viral marketing eZines might decrease your rankings in search
engine. For example, link exchanges can decrease your listing
depending on the link exchange program. Also if you are linking
with directly with other sites it is best to link with related
sites.
Below are a few ways I advertise my site
and my abilities:
Create newsletters and articles and submit to
article sites (like this one).
Write small programs and list
them on download sites.
Submit to the major search engines (NO
FFA SITES)
Optimize my site
Put your contact info and url in
every email
Have useful content for your readers
Using traffic SecreteToThierSuccesse is a
great viral marketing technique to bring traffic and get your site
noticed
One of the biggest obstacles you will
encounter while trying to build SecreteToThierSuccesse is
TRAFFIC. How are you going to get interested people to visit your
site?
Well, there are many ways to get traffic to your
site.Unfortunately many of them will cost a lot of money, if you
are just starting out you are trying to make money not spend more.
There are some good ways to get traffic to your site" free of
charge ". You'll notice I wrote "free of charge". As you know by
now that nothing in this world is FREE. You do have to pay a price
for everything. In this case we are talking about SecreteToThierSuccesse. In free
advertising you have to do all the leg work.
One of my
favorite forms of free advertising is through Traffic Exchanges.
There are literally tons of Free Traffic Exchanges to choose from.
With Traffic Exchanges you add your URL to the site, and then you
start to surf all the websites that are in their rotator. After a
set number of sites that you surf your site will be added to the
rotation, assuming that your site gets approved. Depending on how
many exchanges you are using you can surf each exchange once a day
or have a rotating schedule to surf a different exchange every
day. You have to be careful here because you can easily overwhelm
yourself . Get your feet wet first and have fun with
it.
Traffic Exchanges do a couple of good things for you .
One, they give you exposure to other peoples sites, Who are just
like you trying to get traffic to their sites. You get a chance to
visit lots of other sites and get good useful information, or
ideas for other web sites you might want to start. I find useful
information every time I surf. If the traffic exchange you are
using is high in the search engines than the more clicks you get
on your site the quicker you will move up in that search engine.
There are many ways to move up in search engines , this is just
one that will help you in your quest
Most exchanges pay out
for referrals, you can add a referral link from each exchange to
different exchanges, This will build you a list of people and
bring you some extra money. Some exchanges also have contests for
surfing, winners can win credits, cash, or other prizes. The point
is to just keep busy, keep surfing.
Traffic Exchanges are
just one way of using free advertising is a lot of work that goes
into using traffic exchanges. Like finding good ones, filling out
all of your information, surfing the required amount of sites
before yours gets into the rotation, and waiting the required
15,20,or 30 seconds that it takes for you to be able to click on
for the next site. This sounds easy if you have one site and one
exchange, Imagine the fun it would be to have six sites and use
over 30 exchanges. Like I said Nothing in this world is
free.
Always remember the more time and effort you put into
your business the more money you will attract. Positive energy
attracts positive energy, and negative energy attracts negative
energy. This being said , it is very important to remember that
you must always be positive in your business and build your
business to help others. This will bring you more prosperity and
happiness than you can imagine.
Until Next Time
