I have always had problems getting hits and traffic to my



sites, always, it is one of the biggest pains in my ass, the

constant battle for traffic and paying customers.

I really wouldn't mind the daily battles getting traffic to

my sites if I was making money from them but apart from a

few "sympathy" sales none of my sites were what you would

call profitable, now if I was selling crap that would not be

a problem but I deal in high quality information products

that take a lot of research and time, so the battle for

traffic is really a bit of a pet hate of mine, I need new and

EFFECTIVE ways to get my hits and paying customer rates up.

And as cheaply as possible too, both in money and time terms.

I have spent weeks searching for a boost to my traffic

numbers, when I came across an article about a form of

traffic generation called "viral marketing"

The methods it described seemed very interesting and useful

to me, I particularly liked these facts.

1)It was FREE

2)The only real cost was my time

3)Even my time cost was low, when you consider the returns.

4)Once set up it just kept going all by itself.

5)If done correctly the actual exposure for my marketing

campaign would reach every corner of the internet.

6)Again, it is FREE.

FREE MARKETING, the golden egg every marketer wants, only in

this case viral marketing is a FREE resource, I have a huge

collection of e-books on every subject and it wasn't until I

read them and realised that every page of every e-book has a

hidden advertisement on every page, the links at either the

bottom or top or both of every page, FREE ADS, obviously when

you read the e book you see the ads and if they interest you

then you will click on them and go to that site, easy and so

good. This form of marketing can only bring you the online

entrepreneur more money to your pocket, so simple but truly

brilliant.

And yes like all business dealings there is always a

cost, only this time it was only costing me a couple of hours

of typing at my keyboard, nothing else, so no real loss there

then.

In any business there is a cost to everything, only with

viral marketing your only cost really is your time, it takes

time to set the campaign in motion and time to set

everything up before you get a return on your investment, but

you have to invest yourself and your time into it to reap

the rewards.

My total time cost for my campaign was about 6 hours, not too

bad really, I spend longer just surfing daily.

Once the campaign was up and running I have found that

minute for minute my returns have come back to me at a rate

of about 10 to 1,basically for every minute invested I have

had back about 10 minutes of hits and traffic to my

sites, truly good returns, I couldn't get that kind of return

using any other traffic methods, not even PPC gives me the

returns I am now getting.

Longevity, ask yourself this how long do you think most ad

campaigns last on the net???

The figures I have suggest about 12 hours per campaign in

real terms, not long is it???

That is 12 hours in actual clicked on exposure, and most

campaigns cost thousands to run, so your return on investment

is crap.

Again,Longevity, the length of your exposure is entirely dependant

on the nature of your campaign vehicle, that is what the hell

you are using to expose your stuff to your customers with.

With viral marketing your exposure is constantly growing and

expanding net wide and the return on your time investment is

far more in proportion to the effort you expended starting

it up, so again return on investment is very good for very

little financial costs.

Net exposure, the goal of every online marketer is to reach

every pc connected to the net, thus ensuring maximum viewings

if their product selection to the entire online world, nice

dream but it simply will not happen using

"traditional" marketing methods online.

Viral marketing differs though because of it's nature viral

marketing has a presence throughout the net, and every time

someone reads an e-book and passes it on or someone posts an

article about any subject, like gossip that spreads around a

small town like wildfire, viral marketing does the same, which

makes it quite the most perfect from of ad campaign there

is, the minute you get one person talking about your campaign

or product then you have cracked it and your sales will

grow.

Back to the first point I made, the whole basis of viral

marketing is that it is FREE.

Free, simple and easy to do, but very very profitable if done

right.

Your choice which is the most preferred to you, hugely

expensive ad campaigns which only reach a tiny percentage of

net users or a very quiet, simple and FREE campaign which

will reach hundreds of thousands if not millions of

potential customers at NO COST to you other than time, thus

maximising your bottom line.

I know what one I prefer and still use.

Very simply, I have found viral marketing to be a god send to

my business, boosting my turnover and profit margins through

the roof, so simple it should be banned, I have seen my

traffic go from 100 hits a week to over 5000 a day, you

simply do not get any better proof than that, viral marketing

works and works incredibly well, research states that only

the top 1% of all online entrepreneurs use this method to

take their income into the multi million dollar bracket

annually, hey I really want a piece of that action for

myself, don't you?

Well there you go then my views on viral marketing, I know it

works and works well.

Don't believe me then prove I am wrong, bet you can't.

Honestly though try this and see what results you get
