Viral Marketing Software - Tell-a-Friend Script

If you want your Viral Marketing to be successful, one of the key elements you must address, is to give your viral message a simple way to be reproduced, republished, and/or re-told over and over again.

When is comes to word of mouth marketing, it is always easy to spread a viral message by telling your friends about it (If you remember to). With internet viral marketing, there is another powerful way to propogate your message to many others, and make it easy for your website visitors to do so. That way, is by using a viral marketing software script called Tell-a-Friend.

How Tell-a-Friend Works

It's quite simple really, and a lot of your probably understand the concept, but I will reiterate it here for those who don't know. Once the script is installed, you simply can click on a link to Tell-a-Friend about the website, then you're offered boxes to fill in the e-mail addresses of friends you want to tell about the site, fill in your own email and name, then click send. Your friends receive emails with a short note about the site which was either automated or editable by you in the form.

This method works great if people use your tell-a-friend script, but why would they use it?

Tell-a-Friend Motivators

1) Because your site is incredible, exciting, funny, and just plain buzz-worthy to the point that they want their friends to know about it. (This is the ideal situation for a viral marketing campaign).
2) Because you're offering them a reward or incentive for telling their friends about the site. (This is a powerful motivator, as behaviourist psychologists have noted that people learn and co-operate best when given rewards for their accomplishments).
3) Other... please post a comment on other motivators that you have thought of.

These motivators are important to study, because within those simple concepts can be the potential for many different kinds of motivation ideas. I suggest that to get your visitors motivated the most, that you should be incorporating any and every form of motivation that you can think of. Although beware not to confuse your visitors either. Give them the motivation, and then make it simple and easy for them to follow the steps of using the tell-a-friend script.

If you can motivate visitors to tell others about your site, you may be in for a growing enslaught of traffic.
