How To Use "Viral Marketing" To Generate More Traffic

Have you ever visited a site, like what you see... and then told
your friends about it?

OR

Have your friends ever told you about an interesting or useful
site they've visited in the last 30 days?

I'll bet this happens almost every day, or at least weekly.
Believe it or not there is actually a method to this madness.
These seemingly random acts of "kindness" or referral may
actually dramatically impact your business.

OK Dan, so what are you talking about, right?

I am talking about Viral Marketing. Viral marketing is key to
your business. It is a simple and effective tool you can use to
drive traffic to your site, without spending thousands of dollars
implementing more expensive marketing tools.

How can you take advantage of viral marketing?

The easiest to make your visitors tell their friends and
relatives about your site is by implementing a "tell-a-friend"
script.

If done correctly, a "tell-a-friend" script is one of the most
powerful traffic-generation strategies you'll ever use. And
it's FREE!

Here's how it works...

You ask your visitors to enter the name and e-mail address of
friends and relatives they think will be interested in your site.
Then, the script automatically sends a personalized e-mail
promotion your site to all their friends from the visitor.

Now how are you going to get your visitors to enter the names of
their friends and relatives that may have an interest in your
site? Simple... Give them an incentive. Make them an offer. Tell
them WHY they should refer their friends.

You can't just expect your visitors to enter information.
Remember they are giving up some of their free time to refer
other people to you. You have to make it worth their while. You
have to sell it.

If you want to watch the way I do it, go to:
http://www.websiteconversionexpert.com/tellafriend.html

Don't forget, you also have to provide your customers with
practical and useful content. You want information on your site
your visitors truly believe will benefit their friends.

After all, they don't want to look like an idiot, and neither do
you! If you don't provide good content, in fact if you provide
anything but the best, I don't care what "bribes" you offer...
your visitors won't refer anybody to you.

By doing this you can simply and easily virally grow your list
automatically!

Where do you find "tell a friend" scripts? You could get some
free tell a friend scripts if you do a Google search.

This is the script I use is:

And if you technical dummy like me, you can ask Paul to install
the script for you.

A simple twist to this strategy is you can have a tell-a-friend
contest as well. A prot�g� of mine did a tell-a-friend contest
that was extremely successful. He increased his traffic by 5-fold
in that week. How?

What he did was very simple, stating whoever referred the most
visitors to his site in that week would get a free IPOD. Slack,
eh?

Let me you another killer viral marketing strategy that very few
people use.

Giving away a free e-book is a pretty common strategy. But what I
want you to do is to create an e-book for your AFFILIATES to give
away to their lists.

Let's say you have a 20-page e-book. Instead of asking your
subscribers to pass it along (which is not very effective) you
encourage your visitors to join your affiliate program. Then you
let them customize and brand the e-book with their own affiliate
links for your products!

Now, they're motivated to tell everyone about you. Now they're
motivated to pass it along the e-book to every single soul they
know. Why? They are getting something out of it!

That's not all. The people who read the e-book might also become
your affiliates, they will go to your sites, create more
customized e-books and they too will pass those e-books to more
people.

Do you understand the power of this? That's viral marketing on
steroid!

If you're still a little confused, check out.

And see the various brandable e-books I offer my affiliates.

And the people who read your e-books are much better prospects
because they're pre-sold on your materials. So they're much
more likely to buy from you when they hit your sales page.

So what are you waiting for? Start cranking your "viral
marketing" machine today. You'll see that your traffic and
sales will grow steadily with absolutely no work on your part.

Like the infomercial guru Ron Popiel said, "Just set it and
forget it!"
