Free Video Submitter Software

2007-06-12T19:09:00.000-07:00

Woah! Is this ever cool!

I just came across a piece of software that lets you automatically submit your viral videos to the top video hosting websites.

The best part is, that it's absolutely free! Now some people are charging a lot for this kind of service, and some of them will charge you per submission or a monthly membership fee to use the service. This software allows you to use it on unlimited videos, an unlimited amount of times for free!

Let's just discuss the viral power of this as a marketing technique for a moment.

So you create a video which has your marketing message in it, and you hope that it'll be entertaining enough to go viral. In order to make that happen though, you'll need to hit the right and get it in front of the right viewers.

As most of us know already, websites like YouTube and Google Video are the top places to search for videos online, and anyone searching will be typing in keywords to find videos they want to see.

So how do we maximize the chances that they'll see our video?

Through the use of well chosen keywords relevant to your video, and getting your video displayed in as many video hosting sites as possible. That's where this new video submitter software will come in so handy.

So here's the strategy:

In order to maximize the number of video's you have displayed on those sites, you can edit a few different versions of the same video (Different lengths, cut scenes, clips, etc...). Once you have a few different versions, autosubmit each one using the free video submitter software. When you do this, you can target different sets of keywords that are all relevant for each submission. (EG. Submission #1 Keywords: viral, video, marketing, submitter, software. EG. Submission #2 Keywords: video, autosubmitter, submit, software, free.)

Get the idea?

Now here's another tip: After you've done that, you can also resubmit all those video's again under different video file formats, and again targeting different keywords. This will give you multiple video listings for the same video on many of the video hosting sites. If the video is identical to previously submitted video's then it will not get posted twice, which is why small edits and changes in file formats submitted will be enough to fool most of the video hosting sites so that you get multiple video listings.

Of course the more times your video comes up for relevant keyword searches, the better your chances of having your videos go viral and spread farther.

So I'm sure you're now eager to get this free video autosubmitter software, right?!

Well you can get it now by clicking this link: Get Free Video Submitter Software NOW!

And may your viral videos spread as easily as jam on toast.

BubblePly Your Viral Video's

2007-06-03T00:11:00.000-07:00

Viral Video is one of my favorite subjects, and of course whenever I find new resources to facilitate making videos viral or increasing the marketing effectiveness of them, You, my readers, are the first to hear about it.

So let me share with you an excellent new resource that was shared to me by an excellent friend of mine. (By the way, this excellent friend of mine has a whole wealth of great marketing resources that you can check out by clicking here)

This great new resource is called BubblePly, and it's a website that allows you to take your video's hosted on other video hosting sites like YouTube or Google Videos, and then you can edit them by adding bubbles, icons, or links on top of the videos!

Now in terms of marketing, the key word there is "links". Yes, you can add links to your videos. Fully clickable links that may be clicked on during the video.

Do you realize what this means?

This means that you can add affiliate links, or links to your website, or links to wherever you want, and those links will be right there on the video where the viewer's eyes are glued.

Now, before you get too excited, let me explain something that I read in BubblePly's Terms of Service. They have the right to occasionally display some ads on any video you've edited using BubblePly. Unfortunately you have no control over that aspect of things, but even so, I still think this is a great resource, and of the BubblePly videos I've seen so far, none of them have had ads on them. Perhaps they're waiting until the site gets bigger and more used before they start filling the videos with ads. At any rate, it looks good now, and unless someone might know of some other service that allows you to embed links onto your videos, then this is it, and powerful tool for marketing.

It also has the usual button at the end to share the video with friends for added viral referral power, or tag as one of your favorites.

So if you've got any viral video's, I recommend heading over to BubblePly.com and embedding links into them to send people over to your salespage or through an affiliate link. If you're looking for more great marketing resources, then check out my excellent friend's resource package!

Peace and Prosperity,

Facebook: As a Viral Vehicle

2007-05-25T19:18:00.000-07:00

Let's take a look at one of the most popular social networking sites out there from a viral marketing perspective.

Have you heard of or used Facebook?

I kept getting emails from all my friends inviting me to join facebook. You know what went through my head everytime?

"Not another frickin' Social Networking site!!"

I mean really, how many of these things are we expected to sign up for and start profiles in?

Well along came my sister, and she said "You gotta join it, it's incredible, it's NOT like the other social networking sites!" I was certainly skeptical, but she kept insisting that it was so amazing that she was meeting up with all her old classmates from high school, university, old groups of friends she hadn't seen in years etc...

So I signed up for it, and the first thing that amazed me about it, was the fact that it'll go through your address books on Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, etc.. if you let it, and invite everyone automatically. Ok, so this isn't entirely a new feature, I've seen it before, but it's still an incredibly effective way to get a lot of users real quick through simple word of mouth marketing.

Once I started using it, I realized what's so special about it. It really is different than the other social networking sites. It allows you to see an RSS feed of all your friends daily activities, including new friends that they make. This last part is important, because when you see a friend befriend a friend of yours that you're not currently friends with on Facebook, then you'll be able to go add them too. (Did you follow that?) This really grows your network real quick and easy.

It also keeps you in the loop on whatever your friends are up to. What parties they're going to, whose wall's they're posting on, and let's you see the latest pictures people are posting. Now the pictures are an interesting feature, because you can tag other friends when you see them in a picture and then that picture shows up on their profile pics. Interesting isn't it. I certainly thought so.

Another thing is the groups. There are groups for different schools and educational institutes so you can meet up with all your old friends from highschool and any other groups of friends that find their way to Facebook and start their own groups.

So where am I going with all this?

First of all, this site is growing virally by being arguably the best social networking site online for keeping in touch with friends.

Secondly, because it makes keeping in touch with people as easy as pie, it also means that it's ripe and ready to be utilized as a viral vehicle.

A viral vehicle is something that can carry your viral marketing message to others who can then use the vehicle to spread the message further on to others, etc, etc, etc,...

So all one has to do is find a way to seed your viral message in Facebook, and watch it grow.

I've already seen this working with chain-letter type of messages being posted on peoples walls (Each user has a wall which comments can be posted on by friends). Someone will post a message which has a note to post on 5 friends walls or suffer the consequences.

Now I don't recommend posting such chain-letter style posts. But certainly if you have some incentive to encourage others to spread your message, then they most certainly will, and Facebook will make it a very easy task for them.

They can just pick and choose which friends would be interested in your message and easily send the message along.

Anyways, i just wanted to introduce you to Facebook, if you haven't already discovered it, and get you to start thinking of ways in which it can be utilized as a powerful viral vehicle.

Peace and Prosperity,

The Yin/Yang Viral Marketing Strategy

2007-05-18T22:06:00.000-07:00

I know I've explained this before, and if you've read my Viral Marketing Buzz Report - Volume 1 then you would've read it in there too, BUT it's a really important point to emphasize.

What is the difference between pure Excellence vs. the other forms of viral incentives.

Other forms of viral incentives include offering commissions to people for sales of product (eg. affiliate programs), or bribing people (eg. we'll give you this free **** if you tell X amount of people), or using psychological fact of curiosity/the zeigarnik effort (eg. we'll reveal **** only if you tell X amount of people). Are you getting the picture here?

Now compare that to pure Excellence being the viral incentive. In this case your product, service, information, or whatever your viral vehicle may be, that is so excellent that people just go off of their own volition spreading the word about it.

Why?

Because they think it's something that is worthy of praise, and that anyone they tell about it, will most certainly thank them and respect them for their most excellent referral.

Notice the difference now?

You could say it's a difference between a Pull or Push viral strategy, Yin or Yang viral strategy, Passive or Active viral strategy.

The Push, Yang, or Active viral strategy requires more effort on your part, and that effort requires you to force the viral effect to happen whether it's going to happen with ease or through hardship.

The Pull, Yin, or Passive viral strategy requires little to no effort at all , often happens without any intention of it at all, and when it does happen it requires no effort to uphold and often snowballs with great effect in perfect alignment with the laws of nature.

So which method should you be striving to achieve?

Of course everyone is now going to say the Passive strategy, but hey, why then is everyone these days generally only focusing on the Active strategy?

Perhaps ignorance, but more likely due to the fact that the Passive viral strategy requires more creativity and ingenuity. Most marketers these days are copy-cat marketers, following the exact same strategies that their predecessors use. Unfortunately with the passive viral marketing strategy, you can't always follow the others because it just won't have the same viral effect. To truly make it work for you, YOU MUST create your own Unique Selling Proposition (USP) with emphasis on the UNIQUE! And it must be to the level of PURE Excellence!

So again, why should you focus on the Passive Viral Marketing Strategy?

Answer #1: Because when done correctly, it's effects are far superior, far more wide-reaching, and with far less residual effort involved. It's self-perpetuating in and of itself.

Answer #2: Because everyone already knows how to implement the Active viral marketing strategy (Just do what the others have done), and if you add the active strategy to your campaign after the Passive strategy has been effectively created, then you're likely to explode your viral reach even more.

The active viral strategy will also require far less effort in combination with the passive viral strategy.

So my advice is to focus on the Passive Yin Viral Marketing Strategy, and finish with the most powerful Passive/Active, Yin/Yang Viral Marketing Strategy.

May you succeed in all you set out to accomplish!

Reality TV Shows are Super Viral!

2007-05-10T22:15:00.000-07:00

Yes indeed, reality TV shows ARE super viral, and that's why there are so many of them these days. They are hugely successful.

Why?

There are a number of reasons for this. First and foremost I would say it's because the reviewer can really relate to the contestants, as they are often average people. This gives them a lot more empathy and rapport with the contestants of the show, and makes them feel more involved themselves. The diversity of different characters chosen for these shows is often intentionally done so that many of the different psychelogical archetypes are covered, and that way more viewers can find one or more people that they can closely relate to. This entices those viewers to choose someone that they like, and want to cheer them on to win.

Viewer participation also adds to their desire to keep following each episode and gives them a feeling that they help choose the outcome of winners or losers. Now when those viewers feel that they can influence the outcomes, this is where the real viral power kicks in. With their desire for their chosen character to win, they will be eager to tell their friends about the show, and about their favorite characters. They will then urge their friends to watch and vote, so that their circle of influence becomes greater.

These are the mental incentives, and when also matched with easy viral tools to spread the word about what's going on even faster, this could literally explode, and has!

However, it's about to unveil a new kind of Reality Show! Internet Reality Television!

You heard right, and you know what that means? It means that viral tools can be utilized more easily to spread the word even faster, because the viewers will be in a position to use them at any time.

Joel Comm and Eric Holmlund have teamed up to create the first internet marketers reality show online called:

"Next Internet Millionaire"

This sounds and looks like a lot of fun, and it'll be an interesting viral experiment to observe. I'll tell you right now that I'll be watching closely to see what they do right, and possibly what can be done better (If anything).

They are going to be setting a standard for new internet reality tv shows, and I can only imagine that there will soon be more popping up all over the place, so pay attention to this one.

If you're as eager as I first was to check it out, then click here NOW!

It has only just recently been unveiled, and they are still taking auditions for becoming a contestant yourself. Do YOU want to be the Next Internet Millionaire? Make a video audition and see if you can get voted onto the show.

If you just want to participate as a viewer, then go to the site where you can watch the current video auditions and vote on a scale of 1-10 for which ones you like the best. Some of them look pretty good.

Go Check it out and Vote NOw!

I hope you enjoy the viral experiment, however you choose to participate.

The Viral Power of Freeiq - Making Viral Marketing easy!

2007-04-19T23:49:00.000-07:00

It seems that a new viral website has just launched in beta, and the potential I see for this one is HUGE!!!

It's called Freeiq, and it's going to literally amaze you, when you see it. You see, it's kind of like an affiliate network but with added leveraging power.

First of all, it allows you to sign-up for free. Then you can watch informational videos on numerous topics of interest. As a member, you can also add your own info-video's to share with the world and add your video author profile.

So why would you want to give out free video's on this site?

Simple, you post a free video teaching about a topic you're an expert in, and then you add other video courses into the affiliate network system, which other members can promote for commissions, and you'll earn money from sales of your paid video's.

The free video's you post are just hooks (Viral videos) for the paid videos, and you want to make your videos as informative as possible to really give people a taste of what they'll get when they buy your full video course.

Believe me, this thing is going to be big. It's created by Brad Fallon, and nothing he creates is ever small. I also know a lot of big time marketers have and will be pushing this thing to make it a huge success. I wouldn't even be surprised if it flew by ClickBank in a wink.

The site is very well designed, looks pleasing, and most of all the foundation and structure of the system with it's inclusion of powerful viral marketing leverage is going to benefit each and every member who promotes it and/or adds products to it.

Not only will Freeiq pay you affiliate commissions on the first tier, but also on the second tier, and if you refer other product creators, then you will earn a commission off of the sales of all their products for a full year. This could equal a LOT if you refer some top product creators.

So I recommend you jump on the bandwagon ASAP, sign-up now, it's free! & refer your friends to it, especially if they are product creators themselves!

You can sign up now by clicking this link! Check it out!

Enjoy the site, I know I will. I haven't seen a truly powerful viral site quite like this before, and I can assure you it has all the viral marketing motivators to go SUPER VIRAL in no-time. So get in while their still in Beta!

Peace and Prosperity,

The Small Girl Who Changed the World

2007-04-14T14:39:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time there was small girl with big aspirations.

She wanted to make the world a better place, because when she looked around, she saw a lot of suffering caused by greed and lies. She had a simple message, with a simple truth, and she firmly believed that by spreading this message, and the wisdom it would bring to the people of the world, she could cause things to improve a thousand-fold or more.

Her only challenge as it were, was to get her message out,
And for a small girl like her, this challenge brought a bit of doubt.

This small girl, told others about her passion to change the world, and most people laughed.
"You've got a good message small girl," they'd say
"but in the real world, people will never think that way".

The small girls mother, however, would tell her
"Do what you do, as long as you're following your passion so true".

So the small girl, she searched everywhere looking to find,
A way to spread her message to change the collective-conscious mind.

Then it came to her one day while sitting calmly and quietly on the grass out in nature.

She was admiring the dandelions, and how pretty they were. They were here, there, and everywhere as far as the eye could see and assuredly beyond. As she picked a stem of one that had gone to seed, she did what every small girl likes to do: Make a wish, and blow all the seeds into the air to float gently on the wind as far as the wind will take them.

So as she blew, the seeds flew
Her wish began to come true
As the wind did start to blow
Through the air the seeds did flow
Far and wide they did spread
As a thought arose in her head
For she had wished for a way
To put her message on display
Within the minds of everyone
So that justice would be done

The seeds she thought, that is how
I'll spread my message within seeds I sow
And when they land on fertile ground
They'll start to sprout and spread around
Then soon the world will finally know
And enlightenment will start to show
The world will evolve for the better
Thanks to efforts put forth from a small go-getter.

So the concept she had, and the rest easily followed, as she created viral ebooks, viral videos, viral articles, viral websites with viral tell-a-friend scripts, sent viral emails, and started a viral buzz around the world.

It spread like wildfire and when everyone was talking about this simple wisdom of a small girl on the news, all over the web, and in every household. Enlightenment soon did follow. Greed and lies ceased, people instead adopted a new code of ethics. World peace became eminent, and the simple wisdom of this small girl was to simply follow the tenets of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. She called it PLUR. ;)

The end.

Bonus Viral Marketing Video amongst $6825 worth of Free Gifts

2007-04-05T19:45:00.000-07:00

Okay maybe I didn't stress enough how important it is to get Mark Joyner's book in my last blog post, or perhaps you didn't even read it.

Anyways, I was going to see how many of you would actually go and buy it without me giving you any more incentive than my word. However, I see that only a few of my readers took action, and to those I congratulate you on taking a positive step towards greater success in life.

To those that didn't take action last week, I'm now going to give you some even better reasons why you should check out Mark's new book on Simpleology.

3- One of the bonuses includes an exclusive Video on Viral Marketing that was created by Mark Joyner and Tellman Knudson, and it's awesome!

4-Mark has put together an Easter Egg hunt for you. Now he wouldn't give me any details, and to be honest I couldn't even find the egg myself. So the first person to successfully find the easter egg and the person who scores the highest on the easter egg will receive free copies of a new product I'm releasing soon that will be sold for $147 and is a packaged ebook w/ audio's and videos on Joint Venture Marketing.

It's out now, and Mark is looking to stir some controversy with it. I really can't fully explain how excited I am about this, because in my personal conversations with Mark he's let me in on some of the details of his master plan, and this is a major reference point within it. I can't explain all the details of it in this post, but let me just tell you this.

GET MARK'S BOOK! It is invaluable. If you're looking to free your mind in the simplest way possible, then this book is for you. If you want to help your friends free their minds too, then buy a few copies and give them away for birthdays and at christmas.

Some of the things Mark reveals in this book may shock you, but more importantly they will greatly increase your awareness to what's going on in the world around you, and give you an advantage to take the path of least resistance towards your highest good!

Self Empowerment is the name of the game, and becoming aware of all the things that disempower you is part of the solution, matched with knowing what actions will lead you to success the least of amount of time with the least amount of effort!

Again, I say this book is invaluable! So go get yourself a copy at Amazon.com today!

If you need more convincing then go watch the video trailer that Mark Joyner put together to promo his book launch. After watching the video, you can just click the button beside it to be redirected to Amazon.com and make the purchase!

Viral Shock Review

2007-03-22T20:39:00.000-07:00

It seems Justin Blake has just created and launched a viral marketing/viral listbuilding system, and a lot of people are wondering whether this is gunna fly or die.

It's hard to say just yet because it only just launched in beta, and if they do this right, they may succeed incredibly.

Well honestly I got real excited when I first heard about this system, (as I do with any new viral marketing system) but when I downloaded the software and started to figure out how it really worked I was disappointed.

They say a system like Viral Shock has never been done before, but that's only partly true. There are others out there that work similarly, but none with the capabilities and technology that Viral Shock uses. Unfortunately the problem with other systems that have the same framework is that the response rates for mailouts are extremely low, because the lists are completely untargeted to any specific markets (Except maybe internet marketers). It's like mailing to safelists.

Viral Shock claims that their system will be more effective than traditional safelists because of the 100% deliverability feature that direct delivers right to your desktop. This feature intrigued me, but when seeing it in action, I found it to be annoying and disruptive.

On top of that, you will be getting hit by numerous messages from all the people in your upline. I don't know about you, but I have enough junk emails to sift through each day in my email program, let alone having them pop-up and alert me right on my desktop.

Also, since it sits there running in the system tray, it will be using up system resources, which may not be a big problem if you have a fast dual core computer like I do, but if your computer is slower, then it might bog down overall processor performance, and may be the first program users decide to delete when streamlining their system tray.

Another thing I didn't like, was the fact that when you login to the members area, which can only be done on the system tray icon, it fires up Internet Explorer. Now I happen to be a hardcore Firefox enthusiast, and so I really dislike that. It's really only a minor issue though, and not at all if you regularly use Explorer, but I'm hoping they expand the compatibility to autodetect the default browser and fire it up instead.

$197/month, or $97/month if you take the one time offer. You're paying that to send html ad's once a week, and receive ad promotions right to your desktop (Actually you'll get the ad promos for free too). It seems logistically that this might be it's greatest feature, because if you manage to recruit others then you get paid high monthly residual commissions. Now in this case they are offering a service for that money, so I believe it is within the laws.

So what's my overall summary and analysis of Viral Shock?

Well, my guess is that it will be successful because it offers a lot of residual monetary incentive which will be enough to make it go viral. I think that if you get in early (Like NOW, while they're still in beta), then you will minimize the amount of ads and messages that land on your desktop, because there won't be a huge upline built yet above you. I would recommend not getting the upgrade to pro, unless you feel that your copywriting abilities for creating ads are so good that you can grab the attention of even the most random uninterested audiences. All in all, I'm not psyched on Viral Shock. I'm sure the creators will profit, and a many others will too, but not without effort put forth in recruiting. I would think it to be more effective to spend your time building your own targeted list, and building a relationship with them.

I do like the name Viral Shock and the website is definitely very professional looking with great step by step videos teaching how to get started with building your downline.

If you are interested in joining Viral Shock, then do it ASAP. As I said, they're still in Beta and getting in now may mean that you down get as many messages from your upline. :)

Join Viral Shock Now!

Jason James' Audio Video Riches

2007-03-16T23:19:00.000-07:00

I've certainly posted about some great viral video creation products in the past, but Jason James has gone the extra mile with his new release of Audio Video Riches.

That's right, he's produced an incredible package here, and I must admit that I underestimated him at first, but once I saw and tested the product for myself I was amazed.

This course goes into great detail step by easy step, so that even a newbie can create great professional looking videos with ease, and then easily post it onto their website to stream live!

Now when I mean easy, I REALLY mean easy. If I could say there was anything I'd have to nitpick about this video course, I would say that it's tooooo step by step, and for someone like me who has done a lot of this before, I found that a lot of the steps I didn't need to pay attention to, BUT that doesn't mean it's not also valuable to the more experienced. I certainly learned some new tricks, and the web streaming files it comes with are great and easy to use (Again step by step instructions on how to use everything, even down to plugging a firewire cord into your videocamera and computer).

This video course teaches you everything you need to know about creating great video and audio for your website.

It doesn't go into depth on the actual marketing of your video or audio, but it does touch on the topic.

All in all, I would certainly recommend this to newbies and even some of the not so newbies. The pro's may find a lot of the info redundant, but it does come with a guarantee if you're not 100% impressed.

It's certainly worth checking out if you want to do video and audio for your websites. Remember that if you can make a good viral video these days, your video or product could become famous quite quickly, but you'll need to know the basics of creating a good looking video first.

Viral Business Cards in Second Life

2007-03-09T17:46:00.000-08:00

A recent article in Reuters Second Life news caught my attention the other day regarding business cards in Second Life. It appears that the Second Life company Moo is making business cards for Second Life users.

At first I thought what a great idea. Then I thought, how could it be made more viral.

In real life, business cards are handed out here and there during meetings and at conferences and seminars and such. But once they're handed out, they usually stay with the person who received it, and you have to hope that they find your business card when they need your services.

In Second Life, the digital aspect of business cards makes them easily reproducible to hand out to other denizens of the world, while maintaining their own copy. But why would others hand out your business cards to others.

This is where the viral part comes in. They may do so, if your island/land is just incredibly awesome, or if your services or items are incredibly awesome. I've been handed other peoples business cards in world before when asking people for certain things like where to buy cool clothes, or where to find cool places. In these cases, if your business is memorable then people might start handing out your business cards to others who ask for such locations.

The other idea I had, which I've seen successfully used in Second Life, is giving away free boxes/free items that contain your business card, and allow others to give away the free item as long as it comes with the business card.

This strategy is great, because then there is even more reason for people to ask about you and your business. For example: You see someone on a really cool motorcycle and ask them where they got that awesome motorbike. They say "For free, want one?", then when they give it to you, it comes with a business notecard that gives you all the details of the maker and where to find them. This strategy is incredibly effective, and very viral.

The one key thing to remember (As in every viral marketing campaign) is to make the free gift something that is linked with your business and your businesses offerings. That way people remember you when they use the gift they got from you, and they'll come to you when they want more.

Simple and effective. Just check out Second Life and do a bit of brainstorming on what and how you can create a gift that makes your business memorable. If your business is within Second Life then it should be easy, just give a sample product. If your business is not directly in Second Life, then you'll have to think a little more wisely, but you can still come up with something, perhaps a Second Life version of your real life products. ;)

Good luck, and I hope to see you on the grid sometime. (Just IM Jambhala Richez in world)

How to Generate Viral Friends

2007-03-01T00:06:00.000-08:00

One of the best and often under-utilized viral techniques is providing a simple way for your existing members to tell their friends about your product or service.

Trusted endorsements by friends is the best form of advertising bar-none.

And what's even better is it costs nothing to implement.

Many tell-a-friend scripts have come out and have been effective to a certain degree, but they lacked the features necessary to cause a viral wave of traffic that we'd all love to experience on our sites.

Well, the same guy who created the most incredible Viral Marketing script that has revolutionized the internet marketing industry and made viral marketing easy for virtually everyone has just created a new tool that has been responsible for over $209,349 in extra sales just from two beta testers using it in it's raw form.

The marketer is Mike Filsaime, and the new tool is Viral Friend Generator.

He just launched the completed version and I am thoroughly impressed.

Viral Friend Generator is the next evolution in tell-a-friend technology.

In less than five minutes (the time it takes you to fill in the form and upload to your server)... you can literally multiply the number of visitors and subscribers your web site receives by 300% or higher!

It is compatible with all of the major autoresponder services out there and has many incredible features that every other tell-a-friend script just cannot compete with at all.

Put your marketing efforts into high gear with this extremely powerful new and easy to use tool that was put together by the Viral Marketing Expert of experts, Mike Filsaime.

Beware of these 7 Deadly Viral Video Sins!

2007-02-16T22:17:00.000-08:00

Are there really 7 deadly viral video sins?

Well to tell you the truth, I had never even thought about it until I read an incredible article on the subject just today. I highly recommend reading this informative article on the 7 Deadly Viral Video Sins, so you can make sure not to make these mistakes. Click below.

7 Deadly Viral Video Sins

It's a great article, and explains these viral video sins in a way that will warn you of these dangers, and give you an understanding of how to do it right!

I'm sure some of the sins listed will just become more deadly as more people jump onto the viral video craze.

Yes, the viral videos are pouring down from the mountains, and soon there will be a sea of viral videos that cover 60% of our planet, and if you learn to swim now, you'll be safer when the floods come. Heck, maybe you can even build an ark if you start figuring it out now.

Video Editing FREEWARE - Viral Video

2007-02-05T17:14:00.000-08:00

For those of you who want to make some Viral Videos to increase your marketing leverage, or any video for that matter, I have an incredible FREE resource to share with you.

It's a few freeware video editing programs from BoByte.com.

1- AviTricks: This is a great free video editing program that is setup just like a lot of the expensive paid video editing programs. It allows you to put different video clips together with fancy transitions. It also lets you add all sorts of cool effects to your videos to give them that professional look and feel. It's even very simple to use, with an intuitive interface. With this program, you can be creating professional looking viral videos in no time at all. I highly recommend this program, and of course it's FREE, so you have nothing to lose from trying it, and everything to gain. :)

2- AviSplit: This is another great free video editing program from BoByte. Be warned though, that it is not for commercial use. It allows you to very simply and easily split and join different videos together. Also free, and recommended for personal use projects.

3- AviScreen: This is an incredibly simple to use screen capture software program. Again it is 100% freeware, and you can use it for commercial use. It has some fancy features that many other video screen capture programs do not have. It allows you to change the size of the screen that you are capturing, and it has a nifty feature that follows the mouse, so that what you are doing is always more or less centered in the screen. Some programs I've seen don't have this feature and at times the mouse may move outside of the video capture area, leaving the viewer wondering what's going on. This program remedies that, and it is also very simple to use. I highly recommend this great freeware program, that can help you to create your viral videos, or simply educational videos for your affiliates or customers.

That link again to download all these great programs and more is at: BoByte.com

You'll probably also want to check out some of their other freeware programs they offer. They've got another cool one that lets you easily create 3d product boxes.

Good luck with your viral video endeavours. If you do create a viral video with these tools, I'd be interested to see it. Just leave a comment with a link to it on my ViralMarketingBuzz blog, or sign up as a free Viral Marketing Buzz member (if you're not already) and drop me an email. I'd even be happy to give you a review if you'd like one, and some possible feedback on how to make it more viral.

Second Life Viral Marketing

2007-01-28T14:51:00.000-08:00

I hope some of you have had a chance to check out Second Life since I mentioned it in a post a few weeks ago.

If you haven't yet signed up, I really do highly recommend doing so. Remember that it is free to sign-up, and it is a growing online marketplace that will spawn some revolutionary ways of online marketing, particularly in the field of viral marketing.

Sign Up for your FREE Second Life Account Now!

Anyways, I will be posting more in the future about Second Life as well, including the new viral marketing strategies being used in Second Life.

I want to point out this week the simplicity of utilizing viral marketing methods within the Second Life world. Since it is a completely digital world, it makes things easy to automate and allows you to run a business with a simple set & forget strategy. Build a store front full of products, and let it run itself as shoppers come and buy your products, filling your bank account while you sleep.

Some of the most successful Second Life marketers are utilizing viral marketing tactics. One simple way to do this, is by creating an affiliate vendor. This is essentially a 3d board or box that displays your products for purchase, and it has an affiliate program added. Any land owner, or store owner who would like to sell your products, can simply get your affiliate vendor stall and put it on their land. When people come by and make a purchase from that affiliate vendor, they receive a commission on the sale, and the rest of the money goes to you.

This works very much like a regular affiliate program, only difference is that it's in a 3d environment. You could even go so far as to create a whole 3d store to offer affiliates to use for generating sales. What appears to be best, is offering a few different sizes of affiliate vendor stalls in different sizes. A vendor stall that is made of a very low number of prims (3d blocks) would be most appealing for people that don't have as much land, and for malls which only allot a very small number of prims available. Offering a more elaborate 3d storefront might also appeal to a user that owns a lot of land and can easily spend their prim allowance on something more elaborate that will attract more customers.

I hope that gives you an idea of how to get started. If you have any questions, please post a comment or send me an email. Also, if you want to be my friend within the Second Life world, do a search for Jambhala Richez (That's my Second Life name), and I'd be delighted to meet you. I can also give you a free Affiliate script, but you'll have to find me in Second Life first. :)

It's fixed now, which means, NOW is the time to take action and check out what Mark has for you.

Get Simpleology 103 Now!

I've taken Simpleology 101, and 102, and I LOVED them. They were extremely power-packed courses utilizing some of the most modern superlearning training techniques to teach easily while having fun at the same time, and I've gained countless benefits from what I learned.

Although I haven't yet taken Simpleology 103, I read the pre-release report with just one simple technique to increase energy, and I can guarantee you, my energy levels have increased a great deal in the week or two since I started using it.

Viral Copywriting

2006-12-29T17:50:00.000-08:00

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

2006-12-22T15:52:00.000-08:00

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

2006-12-15T18:20:00.000-08:00

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

2006-12-09T16:28:00.000-08:00

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

2006-12-01T21:45:00.000-08:00

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,

I wrote it myself and it's short, sweet, to the point, and includes a lot of good stuff!

It's free to have, free to give away, and if you rebrand it before giving it away, then you can earn a nice passive income in the process.

If you've been watching my blog for awhile, then you'll certainly notice where the content came from. It's an edited version of all my most informative posts and now it's put into a form that you can easily rebrand to earn money.

You just have to follow the instructions within the report, join the necessary affiliate programs, then run the simple rebranding software that comes with it so you can add your own affiliate links in it.

Once you've done that, you just give it to anyone and everyone whom you think would appreciate it, and you can start earning passive income, free advertising for your own list, and free article submission credits.

Here it is:

Russell Brunson's Viral Marketing Forum

2006-11-09T15:08:00.000-08:00

Russell Brunson has just launched a Viral Forum!

I'm excited to see how this plays out, and I want to give you an honest review of what I think of it.

It's called Conquer Your Niche, and it's a forum that incentivizes activity by rewarding members with ad credits every time they read a thread, or make a post.

On top of that, you will also get ad credits from those you refer to become members, AND from the members they refer, And the members they refer down through 5 levels.

5 Levels of viral growth, which has the potential to be exponential!

There is NO DOubt in my mind that this system has HUGE potential, and as many of Russell Brunson's products and services, it is very well thought out and created by a team of successful internet marketers.

However, I do see some potential problems with the system, and I am not sure at this point they are being overlooked or not.

First - There may be a lot of SPAMmers and/or irrelevant posts that people are posting just to get the ad credits.

According to the rules of the forum, you are not allowed to advertise directly in your posts (Aside form your signature at the end). I'm sure this will be moderated, but it may be a large job to moderate all the potential Spammy posts that are received.

More importantly and what would be more difficult to moderate, would be posts that are irrelevant or just plain boring. When people are motivated by receiving ad credits, and NOT just by creative inspiration, you may find that there are a lot of posts that are not so relevant, or are just plain boring.

For example: Let's say that John Doe posts an interesting post about "Niche Conquering Strategies" which is an informative and relevant post. Then 12 other people post replies to this post that are all generally along the lines of "Nice post John", "Very informative John, you know your stuff", "Thanks John, you really put things in perspective for me", etc... etc... etc...

My question to Russell would be: Are posts of that nature going to count for credits? They don't actually break the rules in any way. More importantly though, are posts of this nature going to flood out all the posts that are actually interesting and informative from people that have questions or comments about the original post?

Second - I'm not entirely sure how interesting the forum is going to be for just anyone. This again plays off of my first point, and because the incentive is for advertising, it will be catering to a specific crowd of people. Particularly marketers, which means that you may be best to advertise marketing related products there or 2-tier affiliate programs and such.

It certainly won't be a place that caters to everyone and everything, but if your target market is ingternet marketers, then I would suggest that you'd be wise to become a member and get your ads up on the site.

At this point, there seem to be a lot of members, and it's growing rapidly. This site reminds a bit of Instant Buzz, which is based on ad credits as well, and is highly successful as a continually growing viral site.

Since Russell's Viral Forum only just launched today, we'll have to wait and see if the potential problems I mentioned are able to be dealt with, or if they cause the forums destruction. I would think though, that Russell will do whatever is within his power to avoid and remedy and situations that take away from the overall effectiveness of his forums success.

All in all, I recommend joining the Forum and testing it out to see how effective it is as an advertising medium, and there is definitely the possibility that this could become one of the most popular internet marketing forums in a very short amount of time.

You better join now and start promoting it ASAP if you want to build a downline, because many others will be doing the same, and you want to get in at the top for greatest success.

Join Now by clicking this link!

Good luck,

JV Suite Toolbar - Will this go Viral?

2006-11-06T14:18:00.000-08:00

From time to time, there are products and services created that end up going viral purely based on excellence!

That is to say that people spread the word of mouth message about it, because the product or service somehow manages to revolutionize the way things are done. For products or services to truly have excellence, they must not only provide incredible features and benefits to the users/customers, but must also provide a high Return On Investment (ROI), which means that for the price the product costs, the return is exponential in comparison.

Well, there has just been a product launched that has both qualities, and in fact, the investment is $0.00 (aka FREE). The benefits are time-saving, convenient, and important to any and all marketers in helping them boost their earnings through networking with others.

The product/service I speak of is the New JVSuite Toolbar!

It's free, installs into your browser (Works with both IE & Firefox), and it conveniently keeps you up to date on all the latest JV opportunities as soon as they go public. This allows you to easily plan product launches to your lists, as well as being able to advertise your new JV's through the toolbar to other marketers.

I highly recommend downloading this thing, it's already starting to spread word of mouth very quickly, and top marketers and joint venturers are using it and spreading the word about it.

I'm recommending this to you not only as a valuable tool for you to use yourself, but also as an example of a well put together product/service that has natural viral qualities included. (When I say natural, I mean that there is no monetary incentive to tell others, only pure product excellence).

Download the JVSuiteToolbar at http://JVSuitToolbar.com

and if you're interested in learning more about how to do JV's successfully, there's also a really great teleseminar being offered with some amazing bonuses that you should definitely check out at: http://JVSuite.com , Better hurry though, because it's starting on Tuesday November 7th, 2006. (That's tomorrow!).

Peace & Prosperity,

Viral Integration for Leveraged Detonation!

2006-10-28T01:48:00.000-07:00

The launch of Viral Detonator has recently TRIPLED or MOre in Size,
as it seems some of the BIGGEST players in the marketing world have
stepped on board and are planning to integrate the launches of their
new products with the Viral Detonator to make this go SUPER VIRAL and
give you the chance to earn money on all three products at once!

It's like killing three birds with one stone, and that means less
effort on your part, with greater returns to show for it.

I can't give you details yet on who these major players are, but what
I can tell you, is that these two launches that we've integrated with
Viral Detonator will be two of the LARGEST launches this year, and
you get the chance to cross promote them all with one easy promotion.

I'll give you a hint as to what they are by letting you in on the
initials of their products. The first is TTW, and the second is RRB.

The way it will work is that, if you sign up for these other two
affiliate programs, then the free versions of Viral Detonator that
you distribute will have your affiliate links to these products
placed in every email that goes out via the free copies of Viral
Detonator that you distribute. The more people use the product, the
more they advertise your links.

You'll get 40% per sale, and Your earning power as an affiliate is HUGE!

We'll reveal more to you as soon as these Big Players give us the
okay to divulge the details. They're still in prelaunch, which is why
we have to keep things on the low down for now.

Remember that the Viral Detonator will be launching on Halloween
(next Tuesday), and believe me when I say that it is set to EXPLODE
in a fanciful display of fireworks!

Sign-up Now if you want to get in before the Affiliate Program Closes the doors.

If it's after October 31st 2006, then you'll have to buy it in order to get in.

Triple Your Promotion Power with a Viral Detonator!

2006-10-20T02:02:00.000-07:00

Get ready for a viral campaign that's going to explode! (And can put some cash in your pocket)

It's the Viral Detonator!

On October 31st (Halloween), Lifeart Marketing is releasing the next covert marketing weapon. This Viral Detonator is the same Opt-in/Tell-a-friend hybrid script that pops-up on the Sales Page for Intratrakker.

It gives the visitor the ability to opt-in to your list and tell friends about the website at the same time. Best of all, the links in each message that go out to every friend, are affiliate links that would be credited to the original affiliate that sent the visitor who opted-in and told their friends.

Mathew Frank has added some new features to the Viral Detonator to help you earn more money as an affiliate promoting it, and making it an irresistable offer for anyone who hears about.

Here's the Breakdown of it:

- 3 versions; free, Activated, and PRO.

- Closed affiliate program only for current lifeart marketing affiliates (If you're not one yet, then you have until Oct 31, 2006 to join before the program becomes exclusive), and customers who've purchased the Activated or PRO version.

- You can give away the free version to your subscribers, on your websites, or to anyone.

- Your affiliate link will appear on every free version given out, and in every email sent to friends via the tell-a-friend feature.

- Everyone who wants a free version must tell 3 friends about it to get their copy, which means that they will be advertising your affiliate link.

- Anyone who gets a free copy and uses it, will be advertising your affiliate link, and if others get free copies because of those links and use it, they will be advertising your affiliate link as well.

Can you see the huge Viral potential here? Everyone likes getting and using free software programs. As an affiliate, you can do a little bit of advertising and then watch the whole thing snowball as a result.

If anyone uses the free version, then you win because they help spread your affiliate links. If they upgrade to the activated or PRO versions then you get a 40% commission.

All YOU have to do is GIVE it away for FREE, and that should be easy!

This thing will spread like WILDFIRE!

So stay tuned, and mark October 31st on your calendar so you'll be prepared to start giving away the Viral Detonator. If you're not a Lifeart Marketing affiliate yet, Join Today!

Omega Viral List Building Strategy

2006-10-12T21:18:00.000-07:00

Have you ever thought of the possibility of building your list virally? If not, then you should think about it now.

One of the master list building leaders Tellman Knudson, while strategizing with master viral marketer Mark Joyner has come up with a viral list building technique that is set to explode! Luckily, this thing is still in pre-launch, and the earlier you get in, the better!

You don't want to miss out on this one for sure, and it's by invitation only. Consider this your invitation.

To explain just a bit of what this system is: Imagine your opt-in box on the websites of many other websites that are related to your niche. Imagine that when someone is interested to learn about your niche, they find your list to join, even when they're not on your website.

This is the kind of leveraged power we're talking about. It's a high form of integration marketing whereby your opt-in list is integrated with potentially hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of other websites. It works via a 10 level deep system of referring list owners to join the system. The more people you refer, the more your opt-in box shows up on other websites. It's also made quite easy, because they give you all the tools you need to make this thing explode! The effect will snowball, because the more people you get on your list, the more people will hear about the system and sign up themselves, then even more people will tell others about it, etc,....etc,...

If you have your own list, or are thinking of starting a list, then THIS IS FOR YOU! If you don't have a list, then you should start thinking about starting one TODAY. As most top marketers say, "The money's in the list". The bigger and more responsive your list is, the more money you'll earn per month if you choose to send out promotions. It's that simple. The challenge for most people is getting a list built, and that's where Tellman's omega viral list building strategy pays off big time, without you having to know much about the details of list building.

All you do is follow the step by step instructions after you join, and the rest works automatically.

You might be asking yourself, "How much does this system cost to join?" Well I'll tell you truthfully that it's going to be easy for you to afford, because it's FREE!!!

That's right, absolutely FREE!

Check it out right now at: http://AffiliateSuperNetwork.com/listhero

May your list multiply like a family of rabbits!

Simpleology - The Simple Science of Getting What You Want!

2006-10-06T13:53:00.000-07:00

Have any of you heard of Mark Joyner?

Of course most of you probably have if you're interested in Viral Marketing or internet marketing, and if you haven't then it's about time you found out!

Mark Joyner has been dubbed by many, as the Godfather of Internet Marketing. Some have said that he sold the first ebook ever (Although he himself claims only to have popularized the selling of ebooks). He's an internet marketer that's been around quite awhile, and has revolutionized the way people do business online in many aspects. In terms of Guru's, I'd consider him to be a Guru of Guru's, because most (If not all) of the top internet marketers these days hold him in high respect and have learned from his methods.

Why do I bring him up? Well first, it's because one of his claims to fame is that he's an expert on viral marketing, and he has helped launch some major viral websites that have become huge successes in very short periods of time. Ever heard of InstantBuzz.com? Mark Joyner was one of the key masterminds putting that project together, and it's still a viral success that continues to grow.

Anyways, the other reason is that Mark is a friend of mine, and recently requested my help. You see he has been working on one project for quite some time which focuses on helping people manifest what they want in life. It's called Simpleology, and he teaches people the simple science of getting what you want. This site of his has been growing virally for quite some time and it offers a free course in manifestation, which is truly awesome! I've taken both the free course and the Money manifestation course, and I recommend them both if you truly want to succeed with ease.

Mark Joyner is working on some new plans which will be implemented soon to make Simpleology go SUPER VIRAL, and the reason he requested my help, is because he needs an elite group of strategic partners to help him leverage the success of Simpleology in a strategic manner. His goal is to create a virally spreading team of 'FREE Agents' who are financially free and able to self-actualize, while working on what they are truly passionate about.

Do you want to become a Free Agent? Do you want to join Mark Joyner's elite Strategic Partnership Alliance? Mark asked me to find strategic partners for him, but he's not accepting everyone and their dogs. He is really looking for elite STRATEGIC partners. Serious-minded individuals who have met a certain number of criteria:

1- A Positive Mental Attitude.
2- Demonstrated Trustworthiness and Ethics
3- Proven Marketing Skills
4- Belief in the Ideas of Simpleology
5- Dedication to Consistent Integrated Promotion
6- An Understanding of Business

Do you fit these criteria? If you haven't taken Simpleology yet, then by all means do it right away, you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you think you'd like to work with Mark Joyner by joining his elite Strategic Partnership Alliance, send me an email mentioning why you think you would be a good Strategic Partner. If I think you're a match, then I'll let you know how to apply and I'll put in a good word for you myself. This alliance is by invitation only, and this offer is only for members of my ViralMarketingBuzz.com list. You can join my list by visiting ViralMarketingBuzz.com and you can get my email address from the weekly newsletter I send out (Just hit reply).

Believe me when I tell you that this is an opportunity that you don't want to miss, and if you are accepted into the Strategic Partnership, you will learn quite a few things about viral marketing just by observing how the partnership works and the systems that Mark has put in place for your benefit.

Peace & Prosperity,

Tell-a-Friend Hybrid Script on the way!

2006-09-29T14:35:00.000-07:00

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!

Viral ClickBank Commissions!

2006-09-21T20:22:00.000-07:00

Yes it's true, you can now earn ClickBank commissions virally!

Before I fully divulge how, I want to just saythat one of the biggest issues I've heard internet marketers complain about with ClickBank is that they limit you to a 1-tier affiliate program. Why do they limit you? Well, I don't know for sure, but there's many possible reasons, the number one reason would probably be because it's easier for them. Less hassle, less work, and they already have a huge affiliate base.

2-tier affiliate programs are primarily a way to grow yourself a huge affiliate base by adding the viral incentive to refer other affiliates to the program. Since ClickBank has been in the affiliate business for a long time and has a good reputation, it's now hard to come by an affiliate marketer who hasn't heard of them, so they probably don't feel they need a second tier.

Anyways, lets get onto this new revolutionary service that allows you to earn ClickBank commissions virally. It uses a method known as Contextual Advertising, and it's so simple to use for monetizing your site, that it puts google ads to shame!

Top Adsense marketers like Joel Comm have preached about the power of simple text ads used throughout your website copy. These types of ads are just simple links that your eyes follow over naturally as you read the content of the page. Because it's right there in the body of the content, it has the readers attention, and thus their curiosity kicks in, and they click it. In the case of Adsense text ads, a click will merely get you on average a few cents. Not too great, but a lot of clicks WILL ad up.

I'm not here to tell you about google Adsense though, I'm talking about ClickBank. So here's why this new Contextual Ad service puts google Adsense to shame. You can sign-up to this service for free, and then all you have to do is simply paste some code onto your pages. What happens next is that a javascript program scans your page for all the words that are contextually connected to the target market of different ClickBank products. It then converts those words into textlinks that link to ClickBank products. GENIUS!

Okay now, listen closely, here's where the viral marketing aspect comes into play. As someone is surfing your page they might click on an one of these unsuspecting links and be directed to a ClickBank product, and if they buy, you get the affiliate commission. Now if you refer others to this service, they will add it to their websites and when someone clicks on a link, their affiliate ID gets tracked to the product, but when the next person clicks on a link, YOUR affiliate ID gets tracked. Now if that person refers someone to the service who uses the code, then YOUR ID gets tracked to the 3rd click. Get the idea?

This is a 5 level system, which means you could get paid exponentially by referring more people who refer more people, and then your getting commissions from websites all over the internet in various niche markets.

The one disadvantage is that on your own website, you still only get YOUR affiliate ID tracked to every 5th click (Because the other 4 clicks go to your upline).

The key advantage here is in subaffiliate leverage. Multiplication is the factor of success with this viral marketing affiliate ad service. As you tell people, who each tell people, who each tell people, who each tell people, then it ends up being a lot of people in your downline really quickly.

If you're wondering where to sign-up for this viral affiliate service. If you sign-up now, you have an advanatage, because this service only just launched on Tuesday. Not too many people know about it yet, but I'll bet the word is going to spread fast, and if you're the one spreading it, you'll be in a good position to profit too.

Rebrandable Joint Venture Viral Ebook

2006-09-14T13:36:00.000-07:00

Some of you probably already know that my other marketing passions aside from viral marketing include joint venture brokering and affiliate marketing. Well I try to combine my three passions whenever I can, and this week I'm doing just that, because I have a Joint Venture Viral Ebook to give away free that you can rebrand and earn money distributing free copies.

A good friend of mine, Chris Rempel, who is a very successful joint venture broker has written an ebook course called the "Instant Joint Venture Success System". It details everything you need to know to start successfully making money with joint ventures, even if you have no list, no reputation, no product, and even no money.

I reviewed his course and found it to be of excellent quality. I've read a lot of ebooks on joint venturing and truly everyone has some slightly different angle on it, introducing new tricks and tactics. Chris Rempel's course certainly has some valuable techniques I had not thought of, or read anywhere else before. I particularly was impressed with his ideas on how to dominate a niche market fast!

The best part about his course is that you too can joint venture with him and promote his product for a 50% commission. Even better is that he has created a rebrandable viral ebook that you can brand with your own affiliate links and then distribute freely to your lists or web visitors.

The viral ebook itself is a high quality content filled educational resource. This will help even more for you to earn from it, because Chris proves in this short version viral ebook that he knows what he's talking about, and hints at the incredibly more powerful techniques that can be gained from buying the full course.

If you understand the power of distributing viral ebooks branded with your own affiliate links, then you'll definitely want to grab this one for free and start to put it to work for you.

Here are the Viral Ebook Rebranding Instructions:

1) Download the Rebrandable Viral Ebook Package at http://www.ViralMarketingBuzz.com/download/JV-Success-Viral-Ebook.zip

2) Unzip the package into your chosen directory on your hard drive.

3) Read the viral ebook, visit one of the links in it, then you can buy the Instant Joint Venture Success System if you like, or just scroll to the very bottom of the sales page and click on "Affiliate Program" to sign up and get your affiliate ID.

4) Install the free PDF Rebrander that comes in the zipped package.

5) Open the rebrander software, then open the PDF of the viral ebook.

6) You'll be shown all the brandable urls on the left, and you just need to place your affiliate link for the product on the spaces at the right, then click "Build PDF" to finish.

7) Lastly and most rewardingly, you then distribute the viral ebook freely to any and all who would be interested in it, and watch as it spreads across the internet and creates commissions for you virtually on autopilot.

Well, there you have it. It's simple, easy, and could earn you a lot of money if you distribute it to the right people.

Good Luck,

Viral Video Resources

2006-09-01T21:32:00.000-07:00

For those of you who want to make some viral videos to unleash to the web, I have a few resources that will help you get things going in the right direction.

First of all, I'd like to let you know about a service that will make things a lot easier for you in getting your viral video created and published on the internet. It's called FORscene which is put out by Forbidden Technologies. It's a web based video logging, editing, reviewing, and publishing tool.

This solution allows you to easily edit your viral videos and publish them in multiple formats easily via video podcasting, or in mobile phone sharing bluetooth formats. They can also host the videos for you, so that you will be guaranteed to have high speed video streaming for your viewers.

There are many capabilities of FORscene, but instead of going into all the details here, I'll let you check out their website to see for yourself. Just visit FORscene.

The other resources I wanted to mention to you are sites that you can publish your videos on.

If you read last weeks blog post on Viral Videos, then you already know about YouTube.com which is the top viral video site online.

Well here are a couple of other lesser known, yet still very popular sites where you can post your viral videos and watch them spread as viewers share them with their friends.

ViralVideo.co.uk

MedicineFilms.com

Both of these sites are great, receive a lot of traffic and have similar setups as YouTube with the ability to put videos on your favorites lists, and share viral videos with your friends.

I'll let you know when I find more viral video tools and resources. Word has it that Russell Brunson and Stu McLaren (Two top Affiliate Managers/Marketers) have created a powerful viral video tool that will integrate affiliate cookies into your video sharing, so that you can share videos and if viewers buy the product advertised in the video, you'd get the commission as a referrer.

This viral video tool is going to be gold when it comes out, revolutionizing affiliate marketing as we know it, and I'll be sure to tell you all about it as soon as I get all the details (Which should be soon).

Peace & Prosperity,

Viral Videos

2006-08-24T19:44:00.000-07:00

Creating your own viral videos can most certainly be fun and all
you need is a video camera. It seems that viral videos have become
hugely popular and increasingly effective since the dawn of the
powerfully viral website YouTube.com.

YouTube.com has grown rapidly in popularity, reaching currently the
16th most visited website according to Alexa, and it has only been
around for just over a year.

For those of you who don't know what YouTube.com is, I'll give you
an explanation. It's the top viral video site online, allowing
anyone to post a video that they created. YouTube has a built in
viral aspect, so that after you watch a video you like, you can
immediately email it to your friends, blog it, save it to your
favorites, or add it to groups.

This means that anyone can create a video, submit it to YouTube,
and if people like what they see, you'll soon have your video
spread virally all across the web to viewers everywhere.

So are you ready to make a viral video?

If so, then you'll need to keep a few things in mind. If you're
doing it for marketing reasons, then you'll need to get your
marketing message across clearly so that it's effective. If you
want people to visit your website, then make sure your website URL
is displayed in the video where people can see it, and make it an
easy url to remember. It is usually most effective to have a "call
to action" either as an invitation to visit your website, or
perhaps even a more detailed request of what the viewer should do.

Creating a video that appeals to your target audience is key.
Remember that you want people to share the video with their
friends, so you have to add an aspect that gives it enough of an
impact on the viewer that they'll choose to spread it virally.

The best ways to make your video viral, is to show something that
is either newsworthy, extremely funny, outrageous,
extraordinary, and perhaps even taboo. All of these things are
buzzworthy, and hence will be readily shared.

It will take a bit of creativity, but if you just go to YouTube and
watch some of the highest rated videos, then you'll get a good idea
of what you're trying to emulate to make your video viral.

One more thing to remember, is to make sure you can easily link
your marketing message to your video. If you make a really funny
video that is super viral, but totally unrelated to the website you
display at the end, then you're not going to do to well. Sure you
may have succeeded in creating a viral video, but you've failed in
creating a good marketing formula. You can go out of the boundaries
of your marketing message a little bit, but you need to have a firm
link to your marketing message that makes your video appeal to your
target market.

Good Luck,

Viral Referral Marketing - the Next Generation of Affiliate Marketing

2006-08-11T15:22:00.000-07:00

The use of affiliate marketing these days is growing rapidly, and
it's no wonder as to why. Every company with a good product has
referrals naturally from their satisfied customers, but with the
simple implementation of an affiliate program into your business,
those customer referrals increase exponentially based on a
commission rewarded per sale.

What is an affiliate program?

An affiliate program is a viral marketing vehicle that allows
marketers and customers to sign up for your program and earn
commissions on every customer they refer that makes a purchase. The
commissions are usually based on a percentage or fixed price amount
per sale. This makes it a risk free traffic/sale generator because
you only pay your affiliates based on the sales they generate.

This method encourages them to refer your product more often than
they otherwise would, because of the reward you give them for such
referrals. Some affiliates have made a full time business referring
various products and services online via their websites, blogs, and
ezine lists.

There is an easy way that many affiliate program operators don't
know, that can amplify the viral marketing effect even more. It's
simply by creating a 2-tier or multi-tier affiliate commission
system.

A two tier affiliate program has far more viral referral power than
a normal system, because now you add the leverage of rewarding your
affiliates for the sales of other affiliates they refer. For
example: Joe is an affiliate. Joe's friend Ted knows a lot of
people that would be interested in the affiliate program's product.
Joe refers Ted to sign up as an affiliate and refer the people he
knows. Now Ted is in Joe's second tier, and now Joe earns a
commission on every sale that Ted earns from his referrals.

In a two tier affiliate system, some affiliates may sign up just so
that they can promote the affiliate program to people they know
that would have a lot of influence on peoples buying behaviours.
This means a lot more leverage to your sales growth and the number
of affiliates in your program. The viral effect is exponential.

How to Maximize the Leverage of your Multi-tier Affiliate Program?

This is a simple trick that I have rarely seen utilized by any
affiliate program owner, and I'm wondering what it will take for
them to catch on to the power of this technique. Most of the
successful programs will give free training and affiliate tools for
advertising and selling their products. This makes their programs
more appealing and they get far greater results from their
affiliates because they've made it easy for them to promote. Very
few programs use the powerful viral amplifier techniques of
offering free training and tools to their affiliates on how to find
and recruit top grade affiliates into their programs. By top grade
affiliates, I mean ones that have a large targetted audience via
their website, blog, or ezine list that would easily and quickly
generate lots of sales if recuited as an affiliate.

With these kinds of training materials included for their
affiliates, they would rapidly grow the number of high performing
affiliates in their program, through the well trained affiliate
recruiters that would be earning predominantly from the second
tier. This would be much more viral than the affiliate program on
it's own, because it greatly encourages and focuses the affiliates
to refer more and higher performing affiliates into the program.

We're talking about the potential for exponential growth here.
Training affiliates to essentially become affiliate brokers, and
explode your affiliate programs viral growth.

Viral E-books, Videos & Audios

2006-08-03T15:43:00.000-07:00

I personally like using viral methods of marketing. It's simply because of it's ability to spread fast and far if done right, and it's a very passive way to market. You just have to create the viral vehicle once, send it out, and watch it proliferate.

The viral vehicle here that I'm speaking of is a free ebook, video, or audio, with valuable content related to the product being marketted that will encourage the listener/viewer/reader to want more and purchase via your affiliate link or url.

It can sometimes be difficult to brand a viral video or audio with your own affiliate url, based on the fact that an affiliate url is often too long for the listener/viewer to type into their browser address bar. The way to get around this is to use a link cloaker.

Then you can create a shorter simpler url and add it to the video or audio at the end. That'll take some basic editing skills.

Another way to do it, is to send people to a specific page for downloading the free video or audio and when you do this you send them to a page that cookies them and then redirects them to the download. That way when they go to the main page of the product/service, your cookie will already be on their computer, the sale will track to you, and your commission check comes in the mail (or paypal).

How would you do this?!?! You must be wondering. Here's the simple code to paste onto the page that you send them to initially for downloading the freebie. Just edit in the "DOWNLOAD-LINKPAGE-HERE" to be the freebie download page and your affiliate tracking URL where it says "AFFILIATE-LINKCODE-HERE" to cookie them.

Blogger.com won't let me display code, SOooOOOo......
You'll have to go here to see the code snippet: http://ViralMarketingBuzz.com/CookieCode.htm

Got it? Good!

If you want to create your own viral ebooks, the best way to do it is either write the content yourself and add your affiliate links right into the PDF file, or get a bunch of PLR articles related to your niche, compile them, edit them, and add your affiliate links. Then give away your branded ebook for FREE and watch the commissions come rollin' in. You'll need to add into it that others can also pass it around and give it away for free as well (This will help it proliferate).

You can also add in some extra incentives of it getting passed around by using a simple PDF branding program. If the programs you're promoting are 2-tiered, then you can earn big on the second tier with this trick. Just create your viral ebook as described above, but use a PDF Brander to allow others to brand the affiliate links with their own affiliate code. The PDF Brander allows you to make this easy for them to do, and you just have to distribute the viral ebook in a zip file along with the rebrander tool that comes with the PDF Brander. This allows them to easily rebrand ONLY the links you want them to be able to rebrand. If you have some single tier affiliate links in the ebook, you can prevent them from being able to rebrand those. They will just be able to rebrand those links you choose them to.

This works like magic, and gives others extra incentive to rebrand with their links, and pass it along for free to many others. Viral marketing! It works!

Good luck with your new tools.

Peace & Prosperity,

The 3 Best Builders of Buzz Breeding Basics

2006-07-27T18:04:00.000-07:00

If you want to birth a buzz for your business, then you’ll need to know the 3 best builders of buzz breeding basics for creating the biggest buzzes. The buzz we’re talking about is a marketing buzz that builds better brand awareness. Time to get down to buzzness, I mean business.

There are certain things that create buzz amongst humans, and there are certain ways of implementing them. Here are the 3 best builders of buzz breeding basics:

1) The Humorous

2) The Extraordinary

3) The Taboo

Indeed, these three things play an important part of building the base for the buzz breeding. The main reason being, that topics within one of these three categories are topics worth talking about. If it’s interesting enough to tell others about, then it’s buzzworthy. If it’s boring and bland, then the buzz will be burned. So let’s get into more detail on these three wonderful old methods for making word of mouth marketing.

1) The Humorous (jokes, funny stories, funny situations)

If we hear something funny, whether it’s a funny story, funny situation, or a funny joke, then it will usually hold our attention, make us laugh, and easily become logged in our memory. The reason being is that humor entertains us and makes us feel good. It’s just human nature to laugh and feel good about humorous things. It’s also human nature to share those humorous stories and jokes with others, because we feel good and get credit for making others laugh too. A little bit of humor in your buzz marketing message will go a long way.

2) The Extraordinary (unusual, outrageous, remarkable, awesome)

Another powerful way of creating a buzz is with something extraordinary. As I said earlier, bland and boring will burn your buzz, because nobody is interested in hearing bland boring stuff, and no-one likes being tuned out when they’re talking either (which happens if you speak of the bland and boring). That’s where the extraordinary comes in. The extraordinary is just that, Extra Ordinary, the opposite of bland and boring. It’s something that could normally be ordinary, except for the fact that it has something EXTRA added. These are often things that are unusual or even outrageous. You’d certainly want to tell others about that, because if they missed it, they may never hear or see of such a thing ever again, and by buzzing about it, one would get instant recognition as the one who saw or heard about it first or at all.

There are also extraordinary things that would be considered remarkable, awesome, or excellent. These things hold buzzworthiness based on their ability to “wow” people. Just imagine hearing people say “Wow, I didn’t expect that to be so remarkable/awesome, I’m going to have to tell people about it”. People will tell others when they experience something above and beyond their expectations, or something they’ve never experienced before.

3) The Taboo (secrets, sex, & things we shouldn’t speak of)

As strange as it may sound, the things we shouldn’t speak of are the things we just can’t resist talking about. When we speak of the taboo, it will often be with trusted friends, and this provides an excellent frame for any marketing message. You’re more likely to listen to someone you trust. Of course some people will blurt out a taboo statement to anyone, and again we will tell others, because it’s taboo and outrageous. Curiosity is a factor that holds our attention of these things. We’re curious about secrets, and curious about sex. If someone is willing to speak of it, then we’ll be eager to listen, and equally excited to tell others. This may be buzz building at its best, because the people building the buzz are clueless to the size of the buzz being built. In fact they may even think it’s still something secretive.

The humorous, extraordinary, and taboo will undoubtedly grab our attention, and anything that interests us, is sure to interest others. Word of mouth travels fast when there’s something to buzz about and using one or more of these buzz builders will boost your buzz bigger. There’s one more key to this puzzle that’s necessary for unlocking the vault of buzz marketing success.

Now that you know the buzz breeding basics, you need to know how to implement them properly. It takes some creativity for one, but the main key is to make sure that whichever of the three buzz breeders you use; you must integrate your marketing message into the buzz breeder in a way that will make your message memorable. The all too common mistake here is when the message isn’t integrated correctly and the buzz breeds, but the people forget about who or what created it. You need to have your product/service/brand centered around the buzz, so that it is clear to anyone what the message is, when they hear the buzz. All it takes is a relevant and obvious link between the buzz builder and your product/service/brand.

Buzzworthiness via Human Motivation

2006-07-20T14:16:00.000-07:00

Creating something buzzworthy can be a challenge, but a challenge worth achieving. If you can create something buzzworthy enough to get everyone buzzing about it and spreading the message virally, then you’ve succeeded in doing something that most marketers only dream of.

Let’s take a look at buzzworthiness from the perspective of the psychology of human motivation. If we can grasp the concept of what motivates us as humans, then we’ll have a better understanding of how to utilize the motivation factors to encourage the viral spread of our message through starting a buzz.

The famous psychologist Abraham Maslow presented what he called the “Hierarchy of Needs”. According to this hierarchy, if a human doesn’t have their basic needs met, then they will be motivated mostly by meeting those basic needs first, giving less importance to the other needs. Let’s take a look at this hierarchy below:

Physiological needs: Food, water, shelter, and sex.
Safety: Freedom from the threat of physical and emotional harm.
Social Needs: Friendship, belonging, and love.
Esteem Needs: Achievement, recognition, and reputation.
Self-Actualization: Truth, meaning, and wisdom.

After fulfilling one group of needs starting with physiological needs, then we will become more motivated to fulfill the next set of needs, which graduates us to the next set of needs, until we fulfill self-actualization at the top of the hierarchy. This can essentially be seen as a scale of motivation. The things that motivate us are the things that fulfill one or more of our needs.

So here’s an example of how to easily create a buzz: Give out free food to famine stricken people. Those peoples primary motivation would be to attain food, and if you provide it free, they will be buzzing to get it, because it fulfills their basic needs. Does this example have much relevance to modern marketing? What do you think would happen if you gave out free hamburgers to people at a festival? You’d create a buzz and people would remember you. People walking away with their free burgers would meet other people and say “They’re giving out free burgers over there”, thus propagating your message virally via word of mouth and creating a buzz.

Okay I admit, there’s another concept here that makes it buzzworthy. The concept is to have something unique about your message/product/service. People will buzz about free burgers because A) it fulfills one of their basic needs, and B) the offer is unique because it’s free. If burgers were always free, then there would be nothing to buzz about.

For people that have their physiological and safety needs met, it is easier to create a buzz through the motivation to meet their social and esteem needs. A few of the greatest examples of viral marketing such as Hotmail, MyJournal, MySpace, and Friendster are all examples of this. These companies created a buzz because they offered something unique that fulfill the social and esteem needs through social communications, and social networking.

In these cases, the word of mouth buzz gets spread even faster because by spreading the word they fulfill their social and esteem needs at the same time as fulfilling it from the service they’re spreading the word about. It works the same even with the example of free burgers. When someone walks away with a free burger, they are inclined to go tell their friends about it, because it will boost their reputation, recognition, and strengthen their friendship. Their friends will be excited and happy to get a free burger thanks to you being the one to tell them about it. This is a key point in buzzworthiness and if understood and implemented with the right ideas and the right messages, can increase your buzz exponentially.

If you have a message, product, or service that is unique and fulfills one or more of our human needs, then you are on your way to creating a buzz. If it is something that is so good that people’s reputation and recognition becomes boosted amongst those they tell about it, then it’s definitely buzzworthy! The only thing left is to tell people to spread the word about it, and make it as easy as possible for them to spread it (ie. Viral tools such as tell-a-friend scripts, hand outs, pamphlets, e-mail forwarding, articles they can freely publish, etc…).

Good luck creating a buzz!

What is Buzzworthiness? How do We Create a Buzz?

2006-07-13T16:02:00.000-07:00

What pops into your mind when you hear the word buzzworthy or even just buzz?

Well for starters, when I hear the word buzz on it's own, I think of bees swarming around a hive full of honey. If I think a little further I get an image of a busy New York street, a mall full of people, or even a festival/parade. These things also bring me back to the image of the bees buzzing around a hive of honey, the only difference is that they're people, and the honey is something that attracts them there.

The honey in New York would be business opportunities, social opportunities, and entertainment. In a busy mall, it's the stores with the products and services they offer. A festival or parade has festivities, extravagant performances, or entertainment value. All these things are what we could call buzzworthy, because they attract a crowd of buzzing bustling people excited and active.

So now let's put these images in the frame of business and word of mouth/buzz marketing. When we're trying to develop a viral marketing campaign, we need something buzzworthy. So let's look for some honey that'll get the bees swarming. Since we're probably not selling honey to bees, we'll need to find something that is sweet enough that will attract a swarm of buzzing excited customers for a feeding frenzy.

This is where things could get challenging though. It would seem that there are so many products and services out there, with so many marketing campaigns, that the swarms have scattered and become uninterested. They've headed for the honey one too many times with the thought of how sweet it will be, only to discover a bitter muck or at best molasses. This causes them to become discouraged, untrusting, and wary of the next guy who advertises honey.

Don't let this get you down, or stop you from releasing a product. The fact that there are so many dud products out there can be your opportunity to release a good one. According to the contrast principle, those dud products can actually boost your recognition just by being so much better than the competition.

Now I can sense that some of you are probably thinking "How can I be sure my product is better than the competition?" It's simple; just make a product that is buzzworthy, which means making your product sweet enough to attract a swarm of buzzing customers. How? Through excellence! People talk and get excited about excellence, and that is buzzworthiness. Here's a breakdown of how to be sure your product is excellent.

- Don't overhype your product and then underdeliver. You may get a swarm on the initial product launch, but when those buzzing bees find out that your honey is really molasses, the buzz will be silenced, and you can say goodbye to your customers, because they won't be coming back for more. Only amateurs focus on the first sale.

- Give your customers a high return on their investment. This means deliver what you promised, at a fair price, and then overdeliver. Give them more than what they asked for. Add value to your product where-ever value can be added. Stick behind your product, give support for your product, guarantee your product or their money back, and tack on some bonuses for buying your product.

- Create a good Unique Selling Proposition (USP). Your USP is an attention grabbing phrase that addresses a few of the following: What you're selling, how much, key benefits, &/or why buy from you. This is an important part of your product creation process and is best if it's short, sweet, catchy, and enticing. Pay attention to the word "unique" in there, because you need to have a unique quality that makes you stand out from the rest of the crowd. You also want to make sure that your USP is believable. Most people know the old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is", and if that pops into their mind when they read your USP, then you're sunk.

Hype your product, and then overdeliver! Excellence is buzzworthy, and if you go that extra mile for your customer, and if you exceed their expectations, then they will be excited about you and your product.

Q) What is buzzworthiness?
A) Buzzworthiness is something that is buzzworthy.

Q) How do we judge what's buzzworthy?
A) If it's buzzworthy, then it will create a buzz.

Q) What defines a marketing buzz?
A) If customers are excited about a product, telling others about it, and coming back for more with a swarm behind them in a feeding frenzy.

So there you have it folks. I hope this gives you a better idea of how viral/word of mouth/buzz marketing works, and how you can create a buzz with your product/service. Just one more key to note is that you should study the concept here, then innovate, and improve upon it. Some of the biggest buzzes I'm sure are still to come, and you might just be the one to start them buzzing.

Free Viral Article Robot - Viral Marketing Software

2006-06-29T16:08:00.000-07:00

Well folks, here it is, so get it now while I'm still offering it for free.

It's the Viral Article Robot, a free viral marketing software program that allows you to automatically and robotically submit your viral articles to hundreds of article directories. This is the ultimate tool for web publishing, and web publishing is one the most successful viral marketing methods.

One key to note, is that many article directories will not publish your articles if they are obvious sales letters. To be truly successful with viral article marketing, you need to actually create articles that have valuable content related to your niche, and then add your weblink into the resource box at the end of your article. Now some article directories allow links directly in the articles body, but others do not, so it might be wise to even make two versions of your article for best results.

Now one of the key advantages to this method, is that article directories are frequented by webmasters and ezine publishers looking for content to republish on their sites or in their ezines. If your article is there and relevant to what they niche is, then they might choose your article to republish and help spread your message and website link virally.

Also, when other netsurfers read your article and follow the link to your site in the resource box, not only do you get free traffic, but that traffic comes to your website with the frame of mind that they know a bit of what you're about and they liked your article content enough to want to visit your site. This makes it easier for you to market to them, because they already know who you are, and may even think you are an expert in your topic (Depending of course on the quality of your article). This is why it is also important to put valuable content in your viral articles, because people will feel that you have given them something of value, and they'll come to you looking for more.

So if you want to build up your marketing muscle, then think of the Viral Article Robot as a deluxe marketing muscle weight training machine and download the Viral Article Robot now by visiting ViralMarketingBuzz.com and signing up for a free membership. I may at some point stop giving this program away for free, so don't be surprised if it's no longer offered.

How to Make a Viral Article

2006-06-27T19:32:00.000-07:00

How does one make an article viral?

If you've been following my blog, you're probably starting to get the idea of what to do to make a viral article, as the rules of viral marketing can easily be applied to many applications.

First of all the article needs to have quality content that a reader will find useful and want to read. This requires a good attention grabbing headline, a good lead in paragraph to generate interest, and relevant content.

Second, you add in the viral marketing aspect which means creating incentive to pass the article on, publish it, refer it to friends, or create buzz through word of mouth. There are a few ways to do this as listed below.

Include content that will make people feel good about passing it on. This could be an inspiring story, information about a just cause, or something humorous.
Offer a monetary cash reward for publishing or passing on the article. There are many ezine owners, and webmasters looking for content to publish to their subscribers and visitors. If you add an affiliate link in the resource box and let them know that they can publish the article and change the affiliate link to their own, then any sales made through that published link will credit them with the commission. They will be happy to choose your article over others without brandable affiliate links in them. This works particularly well to your benefit if the affiliate link is for your own affiliate program, or a 2-tier affiliate program that would mean if they sign up through your link, you get a 2nd tier commission when they make commissions through their own link. Take note of this, and when possible use 2 tier affiliate programs for your links.
Offer something of benefit. Put in your resource box that if they visit your site, they can get a free ebook, free report, a newsletter, free membership to your site, product discount, or some other incentive that would be of value to them. Not only does this encourage people to visit your site from the article, but it also means webmasters and ezine publishers will be encouraged to use your article, because they'll feel it is of value to their readers and visitors.
Mention in the resource box that, "This article is free for reproduction but must be reproduced in its entirety & this copyright statement as well as all links must be included." This will make it so that anyone who reads the article wherever it is published may decide to republish it, and then others who read those publications may also decide to republish and so on and so on. This can create a true viral marketing effect.
Add a tell-a-friend or send-a-friend script to the end of the article and ask readers to pass it on if they found it of value and think their friends may find it of value too. Most article directories will not allow this in their submission forms, but some of them will add it automatically when they publish the articles.

Third thing to do, is to take action and actually publish your article. No one will ever spread your viral article if they never have a chance to see it. So make sure to publish it when you complete it.

I'll go into more detail in my next post on how to publish your viral articles easily to hundreds and even thousands of websites will very little effort, and I'll even give you a free software tool to automate the whole process. So stay tuned to the Viral Marketing Buzz Blog.

Viral Article Marketing

2006-06-26T14:50:00.000-07:00

Many marketers have claimed that viral article marketing is the best way to get traffic to your site. Now we certainly have no way to confirm that it's the BEST way to get traffic, because there are too many factors involved, but since they believe so strongly in the power of viral article marketing, you know it's effective.

Viral article marketing can also help boost your rankings in the search engines by helping your site receive many non-reciprocal backlinks which google judges as more important than reciprocal links.

Basically, viral article marketing involves creating an article related to your niche, and inputting a link to your site in the resource box at the end, as well as a message that says something like "This article is free for reproduction but must be reproduced in its entirety & this copyright statement as well as all links must be included."

Now anyone who reads the article and likes it, is given permission to publish the article on their own site, and when they do so, you receive more publicity and traffic from their site, as well as a backlink that google will appreciate and reward you for with higher rankings.

As this viral article spreads more and more, you just keep receiving increasing numbers of traffic to your site. A truly viral system. Of course the article content you create needs to be good quality relevant stuff that people will want to publish.

If you want to know more, then check back to the blog throughout the next few days as I add some hints, tips, and strategies for doing article marketing successfully.

I'll also be offering a free viral article submitter software, and telling you about a way to make your articles MORE viral by offering publishers a rewarding incentive to post your articles to their sites. These techniques can easily double, triple or more your articles viral marketing effectiveness.

Viral Ads and Viral Advertising

2006-06-20T17:49:00.000-07:00

Creating viral ads is a great way to do viral advertising and make an ad self-propagating. A viral ad is an ad that people feel is worth telling others about, and so they do, spreading the message virally.

Viral ads need to be designed in such a way as to stimulate the emotions of the viewer in a way that leaves a memorable impression. It must also stand out as being significant and/or relevant enough to give incentive to be passed on to friends and associates.

Here are the definitions of the words "significant" and "relevant" as cut & pasted from Dictionary.com

significant
adj 1: important in effect or meaning; "a significant change in tax laws"; "a significant change in the Constitution"; "a significant contribution"; "significant details"; "statistically significant"
2: Having or likely to have a major effect; important.
3: Having or expressing a meaning; meaningful.

relevant
adj 1: having a bearing on or connection with the subject at issue; "the scientist corresponds with colleagues in order to learn about matters relevant to her own research"

For example: if the viral ads are significantly funny, then they may wish to pass it on to their friends based on the fact that their friends will get a good laugh out of it. Viral ads that are funny, tend to be the most self-propagating form of viral advertising. Viral ads that are relevant to topics of interest of ones friends may also have enough of a viral effect to instigate the viewer to pass it on to a friend whom they know is looking for such relevant things related to their topic of interest. Not only should such an ad be relevant though, but also have some value, such as information or news about the topic. In this case though, there may be only a select few who would know someone that would want to see such a relevant viral ad.

Humor seems to appeal to a large majority of the population, which is likely why it is such an effective viral incentive. Every ad is relevant to something, usually to a niche market related to the ads product or service. If the ad is both relevant and significant to a person's interests then it is very likely that friends and associates who view the ad may mention it or send it on to that person who it is relevant to. In this case, the ad will be truly viral if there is a method in place to make it easy for the viral ad to be sent to that person: such as through the use of a tell-a-friend script or forwarding email.

It is usually best that the viral ads don't appear to be ads at all, since many people are unwilling to try to sell things to their friends, particularly when there's nothing in it for them. If the viral ad is cloaked within an article that has relevant and significant content, then you will probably have a higher propagation rate.

Another way, is to give the viewer an incentive (Such as an affiliate commission if a sale is made through their referral) to pass the message on to a friend. This may be too much work for them to bother in many cases, unless you make it extremely easy for them to sign up as an affiliate without much trouble. Perhaps by only requiring them to input their paypal email into a simple form that is connected to a tell-a-friend script and sends a commission to their paypal account if a sale is made through their referral. If it's simple, it has a higher chance of becoming viral. If they are required to fill out all their details into a form, agree to affiliate terms, then click a verification link in an email, then get an affiliate link, and then still have to promote it to their friends in some way; This is just getting too complicated, and if they only know one person who it's relevant to, then their chances of making a sale through the referral are slim at best, and the effort put in may not pay them a dime for their effort.

There has to be an incentive for passing on your viral ads, and it doesn't have to be commissions. Generally people pass on jokes or significant relevant content because their incentive is to feel the value of being the friend who made them laugh, or gave them a lead to some information that they found some value in. If you can offer them commissions as well for passing on your message, then I recommend it, because the more incentive there is to pass it on, the more likely they will do so.

So, to sum it up: Make things simple, significant and relevant to your target market, give people incentives, and people will reward you by propagating your viral ads.

What makes a good Word of Mouth Viral Buzz

2006-06-14T14:37:00.000-07:00

So what makes a business buzzworthy? What encourages people to spread your viral marketing message through word of mouth?

All you have to do is make your business the ultimate business! Something so good and so memorable, people will want to tell others about it.

Mark Joyner suggest using what he calls "The Irresistable Offer". Make your customers an offer that is so good that it is simply irresistable. Something that no-one who is interested in your niche would pass up, because they are getting a deal like no other! Absolute value and a high return on their investment.

-If you offer something that everyone is offering, then no-one's going to tell their friends about it.
-If you offer something in a unique and memorable way then you're getting closer.
-If you offer something in a unique way that gives massive value, then you're starting to get hot.
-If you offer something in a unique way that gives massive value, AND you give them a simple way to tell others, then you're on fire!
-If you offer something in a unique way that gives massive value, you give them a simple way to tell others, AND you give them extra incentive to tell others, then you're so hot you're gunna EXPLODE!

If you take a look at Hotmail and Napster, two businesses that have proven their worth in word of mouth marketing, you can see that they fit the description.

Hotmail
What's unique about their offer? Well it's not so unique anymore, but at the time they were one of the first companies to give away free e-mail accounts.
Massive Value? They were giving it away for FREE, which means you don't lose anything for trying it, and many people who didn't even have internet at home, could now have an email account to check at their friends house, schools, or libraries.
Now how about the simple way to tell others about it? They put a small advertisement at the bottom of all outgoing emails, so as their customers used their service, everyone receiving emails from hotmail users also received an ad telling them where they can get a hotmail account. Plain and simple, and it spread like wildfire!
Extra incentive? People who are using email want to be able to contact all their friends via email, so they want to tell others who don't have email, so they can contact them via email.

Napster
What's unique about their offer? They were allowing you to search the database of napster users to find any kind of music you might be interested in.
Massive value? You could download that music for FREE!
Easy way to tell others about it? In this case I don't think they made it any simpler than word of mouth, but it spread quickly because the value was so good & offer so unique.
Extra incentive? Users want as many people to get on board, because the more users there are, the more choice of downloadable music there will be.

So, to sum it up, let's put it into a viral marketing formula:

Unique Offer + Massive Value + Easy Way to Tell Others + Extra Incentive for telling others = Explosion of Word of Mouth Viral Marketing Buzz!

Does that sound about right? Did I miss anything?
Try to implement this viral marketing formula into your business and see what happens.

Peace & Prosperity,

Viral Marketing Blog Promoter Script

2006-06-12T15:46:00.000-07:00

Okay, it seems some people are asking about the viral blog promoter script that I'm offering to those who tell-a-friend about ViralMarketingBuzz.com. I'll tell you here just what it is, and how to use it to start receiving viral traffic.

I'm sure you know what a blog is, because you're reading one right now. What you may not know is that blogging is fast becoming one of the most popular things on the internet for both internet marketers and everyone else as well. If you haven't started a blog yet and you're an internet marketer, then I'd recommend you do.

Anyways, the viral blog promoter script is a simple script that creates a small table when used on a website that lists all the chicklet icons for subscribing to your rss blog feed via any of the feed reader software programs on the market. Most blog owners also have a website, and if they do, they will usually have their blog syndicated, so that others can subscribe to their blog via their feed-reader software. However, there is a lot of feed-reader software out there, and they require different links to subscribe properly.

With the viral blog promoter script, you can offer blog owners an all-in-one subscribe link table to add to their website. This can save them a lot of trouble from having to get each feed subscribe chicklet icon to post on their page.

How Does the Viral Blog Promoter Script Work Virally?

Good question to ask. When you download it, there are two ways to use it. First you can just use it on your website for your own blog feed subscriptions. Second, you can turn it into a viral marketing tool.

To turn it into a viral marketing tool, all you have to do is follow the simple instructions in the readme file that it comes with. You simply have to setup the script on your own site and brand it with your site name and URL. Then you give other blog owners the instructions on how to edit, cut & paste a simple piece of code into their websites, so that the blog subscribe links table shows up on their site. You can also tell them to pass on those instructions to any and all who may like to use it.

When the table shows up on their site, it has a link advertisement at the bottom for your website. This way others will spread your advertisement around the internet, via this useful viral blog promoter script, and you will get many backlinks to your website, as well as visitors who click on your links.

I have tested the script myself to see how it works. It is very easy to use, with simple instructions to follow. If you want to download it, all you have to do is visit ViralMarketingBuzz.com, click on the Tell-a-Friend link at the bottom, and tell 3 friends about my website. Then you'll get the download link via e-mail.

Good luck with it.

Viral Marketing Software - Tell-a-Friend Script

2006-06-09T13:24:00.000-07:00

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.

PS - If you haven't yet become a member of ViralMarketingBuzz.com, it's 100% FREE and upon joining you will be sent a download link for a FREE Tell-a-Friend script. (Also available for download in the members area, if you missed the email just login to your account to download)

Mention the free gift incentive on your webpage and your visitors will be telling all their friends about your site to get their gift. Your marketing message will be virally spread around.
