Here are some viral marketing techniques:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. 
    

   Write a small ebook of about 20 double spaced pages and sell it for a few dollars. Then give Master Resell Rights away to every buyer. Then every buyer of the ebook now has the opportunity to turn around and sell the ebook. All of the information in the ebook stays intact and cannot be changed if you use the PDF format. In the ebook you will provide useful information and then direct the reader to your website for additional information.

2. 
    

   Write articles and give something free away in the resource box. The resource box is a section at the end of the article where you tell about yourself and your business. This time you will simply offer a free report or free resources that will help the reader. As editors publish your article readers will come for the free offer. Be sure that you capture emails as the visitors arrive so that you can continue to market to them after they have left.

3. 
    

   Hold a contest where visitors give you their name and email. Allow them to enter twice for every person they refer and enter the contest. Point these people to a webpage that makes the visitor put in who referred them. Then send the referrer an email stating they have been entered twice into the contest, giving them a better chance of winning! It can all be automated so it’s easier for you to manage.
