commercial you must buy air space

buying space, you are buying
audiences

Amazon.com site, but the referral fee would go to the Spammer

various elements of viral marketing can create multiple small ripples across
cyberspace that spread your message far and wide. Viral marketing efforts
will gain strength if they have a good balance of the following elements:
• Free products and services are a powerful means of acquiring attraction. If
you are prepared for some delayed but substantial gratification, then
consider offering freebies to generate interest and information such as email
addresses, phone numbers, and opportunities for building contacts.
• Understand that human urges are the prime drivers of the viral marketing
phenomenon. You need to tap into these so that your efforts can generate the
desirable impact.
Impacts of Viral
Marketing
25. • Transmit your message so that it appeals to the motivations,
desires, and even greed of your audience.
• Viral marketing works so fast and so well because there are a
lot of other people working willingly to promote another
person’s message. So, use these networks. Forums, emails,
blogs, videos, and the like can carry your message. If your
message has appeal, then there’s a real army of helpful
motivators to spread the word on your behalf.
26. • Social Media and viral marketing are virtually connected. The success of
social media — in allowing people to gather in groups of mutual interest
and to share what’s meaningful in their lives — is really the foundation
of viral communication.
• In terms of viral marketing, we’ve seen that people will happily pass
along your marketing as long as: 1) the content is entertaining and 2) the
message is genuine.
• The first challenge is to create the outstanding content without that
nothing else would work.
• Find the right “neighbourhood” where your message will find the
desired crowd.
• Using these analytics, engagement needs to be quantified to determine
the success of our communication and media strategy and to tweak it as
necessary.
What’s the Future of Viral
Marketing?
27. • By putting these elements together, we will get a winning viral
marketing .
• With social media, anyone can run at least a mildly successful viral
marketing campaign.
• Bloggers are even getting into the act, using social media outlets to
market themselves across all platforms, with no product to sell
besides sage advice and videos of their families.
Viral Marketing started out as a cheap and viable way to spread the
word about a product or idea, and it continues to do the same. The
method has been altered to accept new tools and processes and we’ve
adapted along with it to use those tools and respond to them.
28. • Viral message is not only about getting some one to
interact with a message, it needs to be viral- it needs have
a pass along effect.
