Tell-a-Friend Hybrid Script on the way!

Most people who have an interest in viral marketing already know about the power of tell-a-friend scripts. They allow you to get free word of mouth referrals from your website visitors, and if your site is good enough or if you offer an incentive, then your site may go viral very easily.

Well, there's a new kind of Tell-a-Friend script that my friend Mathew Frank and I have been working on. Actually he's been the one working on it, since he's the programmer, but I've been throwing in my request for features in order to turn it into a super tell-a-friend script like no-one has seen before.

What does it do differently? I'm glad you asked. :)

It is a name capture/tell-a-friend hybrid. You can add it to your squeeze page, and when people put in their name and email (As they do on a squeeze page), Mathew figured they should also have the form fields to tell their friends about it as well. Make it a 2 in 1 deal. I thought, wow, that's genius.

I had a different idea for a feature to increase the incentive, and when I suggested it to him, he loved it. My idea was to have an extra form field to add an affiliate ID after your name and email, and that way the links in the messages sent are automatically customized as affiliate links.

We've already started testing these as two different scripts, but will soon be releasing these as one that you can customize each with any or all of these features, and we've even got a few more features that I can't tell you about just yet, but I can say that you've never seen a tell-a-friend this powerful.

Make sure you pay close attention to my blog or newsletter for Viral Marketing Buzz, because you'll be the first to know about this when it goes public.

For now, if you wanna see these 2 tell-a-friend scripts in action, you can check out the first one (hybrid opt-in/tell-a-friend) by going to Mathews new product launch page for Intratrakker (the new super tracking software): Intratrakker Home Page

The second one, with the customizable affiliate links you can check out by going to one of two links: Refer-a-Partner, or Challange-a-Nemesis

If you wanna test it out, you'll want to join the affiliate program so you can get your affiliate ID# to enter in. These tell-a-friend scripts are for referring other affiliates at the moment, and the incentive is that we're giving away a free Spy Video Camera Pen to the person who refers the most affiliates whom each make at least 5 sales. If you know some webmasters and list owners who might be interested in promoting the Intratrakker tracking software, then check these out. Otherwise you may just want to take a look to see what these scripts look like.

Have a great week!
