When people are first getting started in trying to understand viral internet marketing they typically have a lot of questions as to what types of strategies and what methods actually work with viral marketing strategies.

Let’s take a quick little walk into the world of some of the most popular and top ways to use viral internet marketing selling to your advantage.

1. Firstly and no doubt most importantly, think beneficial…

The viral nature or aspect of the offer has to be very beneficial to the reciever. Whichever way you look at it, this is job one. This, as with most things, is easier said than done. Whether it’s beneficial emotionally, monetarily, a gift or otherwise, this is the foundation of any viral campaign to take off.

Mind you, if this part was so easy to pull off..we’d never get any sleep because of the bombardment of viral spread. So, when you look at it…it’s actually really cool it’s not so easy.

2. For blogging and email marketing you can almost think of this as in reverse. Always try and work your way backwards from your subject line or headline on your blog post.

The thing is..If not easy to implement and concise..the benefits must be mentioned at the beginning…it probably won’t work out for you virally.

3. From the saying that has been around for what seems forever…

K.I.S.S
Keep It Simple Stupid

Remember, you have to get a person’s interest fast. Your message shouldn’t be all construed in a state of confusion or destraction to the viewer!

Of course, but be smart…but realize some people might not get it as easily as others.

Passing things on will require the sender to “understand it”, how do you think that will be accomplished so that he/she will want to pass it on?

4. Well..this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Obviously, “Sex Sells”.

Of course it’s most likely NOT sex you will be selling. But, if you’d like to get a flow going..and create some curiousity..sneaky suggestive sexual inuendos can do the trick. Catching friends off guard and playing with them is some things people like to do with methods lis this.

5. The funny bone is a great place to get at! Humour works very well with viral ideas you’d like to spread. Please, whatever you do, remember this. Think about how many commercials you’ve seen where you said to friends, “God, you have to see that commercial? It’s hilarious!”

6. Brand Or Name Leveraging- A very good way to use viral marketing is by leveraging well known figures, brands, people etc. Familiarity with popular things seem to require less effort to work with. By being easily recogized, it opens the door for easier communication with the reader.

Be sure to check out all of the legal litigations of doing something like this though, before moving ahead with it.

7. Keep it real, nobody likes an ass-kisser, let your message take off naturally. Just like any other type of marketing, people don’t like to be sold, they can feel if you are trying to hard. Remember, people want to think it’s their idea. If you have done your part on creating good viral marketing aspects, this will take care of itself.

8. What’s in the new or headlines? What’s popular?

If you can utilize already popular events it can help you to get your own thing happening. People are aleady talking about it. Try and use this to your advantage!

9. Everybody loves a mystery! Creating mystery or keeping people hanging with a viral marketing concept can only help get that interest happening. But, remember, eventually you will have to come clean with what it’s all been about or you might tick some people off!

10. Think about reality. Many people are trying to avoid being sole by corporate entities and their advertising. It’s better to come off with down home and more earthy viral message. Your messages will work better if people feel more comfort by being able to identify with the message easier.
