Viral Copywriting

Well I hope you all had a very merry Christmas!

I sure had a great time with my family. It was nice to see my Aunts, Uncle, and Cousin again.

I'd like to give you a little gift for the holidays, and I found one that's perfect for you. It's a great little ebook on viral marketing, that focuses particularly on viral copywriting.

It's written by a copywriter named Brian Clark and is called "Viral Copy - Trading Words for Traffic"

I read through it and found it to be very informational, entertaining, and useful for both writing viral copy and viral marketing in general.

It shares a lot of examples where viral marketing has been used in various niches and markets for success and failure. A few of the stories shared gave me some good ideas for viral tactics, particularly the mention of viral publicity, which is something I have been thinking of writing about soon.

Anyways, please enjoy the free viral ebook, which you can download by clicking Viral Copy!

And have a Happy New Year!!

Viral Listbuilding SuperGift Tactic

Most of us know by now that building a list of customers, prospects, etc, is one of the most powerful tactics for generating wealth online. Marketer after marketer after marketer will tell you that "the money's in the list". If you have a list and you can keep your subscribers captivated by sending them quality content and offers related to their interests, then you will build a relationship with them and they'll pay attention to what you have to say. Not only will they pay attention, but they'll also pay money for the quality products you promote to them.

So the question often comes down to "How do I grow and build a list of my own?". "How do I get targetted subscribers within my niche?".

In the past I mentioned a free service for viral listbuilding at: ListHero

Well now there's a new and also free viral listbuilding service that may be even more powerful, and it's called the Super Gifts!

This is an amazing JV gift giveaway event, and it's an incredible viral system that allows you to join as a partner and contribute a gift of your own. In doing so, you'll very easily be able to grow your list virally.

The Super Gifts works via a multi-tier point system that allows you to earn points by referring others to the system. Everyone who joins receives 200 points, which will allow them to download 20 free gifts. Then they refer others to the system so they can get more points to download more gifts.

As a JV Partner, you can sign up for free and add up to 5 gifts of your own to the system. These can be digital gifts, free trials, free consultation, free discount, or anything else that you can think of to give away. Whenever someone downloads your gift, you'll receive their contact information as a new subscriber to your list.

The more referrals you make, the more subscribers you'll get, because your gift will get a higher positioning ahead of other gifts from people that didn't refer as many people to the giveaway.

This whole giveaway was created by Henry Gold, who has successfully done 117ChristmasGifts giveaways for the past few years with great success, generating tonnes of traffic each year. This year he expects to generate more traffic than ever before, and the gift giveaway this time is not just limited to christmas time. It goes on permanently and it only just launched.

This is truly an opportunity that you'll wnat to get in on, and you'll want to promote it and refer others as soon as possible, before someone else refers those people.

So once again, the link to the Super Gifts giveaway is: Super Gifts

Join Now! and start building your list virally!

Peace and Prosperity,

Powerful Viral Video May Offend Some Viewers

I want to keep the ball rolling when it comes to the topic of Viral Videos, because I think they're awesome, and powerfully effective.

So this week I want to show you one of my favorites that I must warn you is controversial, and it could be offensive to some viewers (I just think it's hilarious).

But first I want to share with you the technique that caused this video's creation to come about. It has to deal with a movie that star's Samuel L. Jackson, called "Snakes on a Plane".

This movie that could've easily been a bomb at the box office, become a huge success due to leveraging the internet crowds and launching a very successful Viral marketing campaign. You see, there was already a bit of buzz being built online due to the title of the movie and the fact that Samuel L. Jackson was starring in it.

To step up the campaign and make it viral, they created a contest, where-by they offered music artists a chance to get their song onto the soundtrack! For many amateur musicians, this is a potential golden opportunity, and many of them started making music video's for songs called "Snakes on a Plane". As these entries started coming in, the music videos started showing up on YouTube.com, and many became instant Viral Videos. Some of them are more serious, while others are just freakin' hilarious! Of course these videos all became super viral as internet viewers forwarded them to all their friends, and thus the viral effect spread massively at a fast pace.

So what can we learn from this technique? Well how 'bout offering a contest to people for creating some sort of viral video's and awarding the best video's a cash prize or other prize as incentive. Give them just a title to work with that matches your keywords and name of your website, business, or whatever you're promoting.

Perhaps you could even create a contest for your employees to see who can earn the next big promotion or raise.

The technique is scalable, and if you use your creativity, I'm sure you can leverage it and save yourself some money in creating viral videos yourself.

Anyways, I know you're probably dying to see this crazy controversial funny viral video for Snakes on a Plane! So here's the Link:

"All Your Snakes Are Belong to Us"

If you want to read more about Snake on a Plane, just visit the Wikipedia link that also links to some of the other viral videos that were created.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snakes_on_a_Plane

The reason I chose to show you this one, is because it is a great example of using humor, controversy, and extraordinarly strange imagery.

It also plays on a video that became viral in the past called "All Your Base Are Belong to Us". That viral video had already been a proven success in the past advertising nothing, but was based on the funny Japanese-English translations (Also called Engrish by some) of a video game cut-scene.

Anyways, "All Your Snakes are Belong to Us", uses various types of funny scenes and characters and actors from famous movies that would appeal to fans for the movie. I think it's a well-done video that could certainly spark some of your creative juices.

Peace and Prosperity,

Viral Video Creative idea resource

For those of you who got the Viral Video Traffic Formula Exposed video course that I mentioned last week, you may now know how to put your video together, but are perhaps wondering what to create for your own viral video.

Although that course is GREAT for understanding the process of putting together the video, it entirely misses the creative aspect of what kind of video content you should be making that will go viral.

Well I want to address that this week, and see if I can help you get your creative juices flowing in the right direction. There is one place I found that has some of the top viral videos, funny videos, tv commercials, and flash movies. These would be excellent places to look for examples to stimulate your creative ideas. You can visit the site at ViralX.com.

There are plenty of videos to watch here and one thing I noticed is that most of these are either funny, sexy, controversial, extravagant, or just plain crazy!

So does that mean those are things you need to include in your viral video to truly make it viral?! OF COURSE!!! It's been proven time and time again that these types of things are what people are interested in watching, and those are the first things that people will forward to their friends.

JUST REMEMBER, that you must make it relevant to what you are either selling, or whatever your site is related to.

Think first about who your target audience is. What do they like? (EG. Sports illustrated uses sexy women to sell their magazine, because their target audience is generally men. But does Martha Stuart use sexy women on the cover of her magazine? I don't think so. Be relevant to your audience.)

Using comedy by making a funny viral video is probably the kicker that works all across the board for every type of market, but you still must be relevant to the type of comedy you use. So again, think about your target market and what kind of funny they find funny.

As well as being relevant to what your target audience wants, you also want to be relevant to what your product/service/website is all about. Make sure that you can link the humor/sexy/controversy/crazy to your product/service/website, otherwise people will enjoy the video, but they won't remember you or what your business stands for. Make the link clear so that it is memorable, so that your brand becomes memorable.

You may also want to test your video on some of your friends or people you find in forums that would be your target market. Ask them what they think and get their feedback on your video. If they have any suggestions of how you could improve it, then pay attention and try out some of their suggestions. Testing this way can do wonders for you, because a lot of times we miss simple things that can make all the difference, and many times you'll get little suggestions from a bunch of people that when put together create something grand!

Good Luck with your viral videos! May your videos spread like dandelion seeds in the wind!

Viral Video Traffic Formula Exposed

I just recently came across a video product that teaches you step by step, all the basics you need to create and publish your own viral videos online and start generating traffic from it.

It's the Viral Video Traffic Formula Exposed product and it is Fantastic!

When I saw it and was reading the sales page, I was thinking wow, this looks really good, but it's probably going to cost a lot! Well guess what, even though it could probably easily sell for $37 or more, it only costs $9.97!

Well of course I bought it immediately and watched the videos as soon as I downloaded them. So you probably want to know what I thought of them eh?

They are excellent! They walk you through literally step by step how to edit videos, create videos, even create video slide shows with still pictures you might have. Best of all, it's all from the perspective of viral marketing so it explains how to brand your videos with your website URL to make true viral videos.

On top of all the creation aspect, it then explains step by step how to submit them to YouTube.com (The most popular viral video site on the net). Not only that, but it again goes into the details that may be overlooked by the average marketer for branding your website URL throughout the submission process and making sure to make your viral video easy for the search engines to find it.

I do highly recommend this product, particularly if you don't know where to start, but you want to create some viral videos.

If you're already experienced with using YouTube and creating/editing videos, then a lot of it may be going over stuff you already know, but I still think that it could be of benefit to you to watch it from the perspective of branding a viral marketing effect.

It is very logical and straight forward, teaching the basics and the technical stuff in a way that is easy to follow, however it doesn't go too deeply into the real psychology of what to make your video about, or how to stimulate people into telling their friends about it.

If you're looking for the psychology aspect, then I'd also recommend my free Viral Marketing Buzz Report, and I think that with the knowledge in my report matched with the technical know-how of this viral video course, you'll be set to create some powerful Viral Videos that could spread far and wide across the net, bringing you plenty of traffic to monetize how you please.

So go check out Viral Video Traffic Exposed, <--- Just click, it's only $9.97 after all

It also comes with some bonus stuff on podcasting (as important as podcasting is, I haven't checked out the bonuses yet, so I have no idea what they're like)

Anyways, good luck,
