Email is the most common method of viral marketing. This is accomplished when people forward messages, such as inspiring messages, jokes, funny clips and pictures that contains an advertisement of a certain product or service. However, you run the risk of the message being labeled as "spam." Many email providers have created a filter in their system to separate potential spam emails from those that appear like they've come from an actual person or contact.

Instant messaging is another good form of viral marketing. People who receive links from friends through instant messaging servers, like Yahoo! or MSN, are more likely to take notice of what they have received because the original source is trusted by them so they are more likely to open these messages compared to other sources.

Websites are another great way to start a viral marketing campaign. When publishing an article, provide a link that says "Send to a friend." This is one way to make the article reach a good number of people by just posting it in one site.
