If you are ready to jump start your online traffic and sales then you should consider launching a marketing virus. Now don’t think of this virus in the same way that you think of malicious virus. This one is all quite good for everyone. A marketing virus is something you set up to boost your branding campaigns, increase traffic, and get loads more leads. Don’t compare it to tell-a-friend. This is totally different.

Now, don’t be intimidated by this. It’s quite easy to get started. One good example would be to write an ebook and then give it away. However, also give anyone who reads your ebook permission to give it away too. There is a lot of power in this. Before you know it you have readers putting download links on their blog, giving your ebook to their friends, and much more.

In a nutshell, that’s how a marketing virus works. You give it away to as many people as possible, and other people do the same. This keeps on going until before you know it, your ebook is on thousands of people’s PC’s that you never came in contact with before! As people read your ebook, and click your website links, your traffic skyrockets.

All you need to do is include a note inside the ebook that informs the reader that they have the right to begin giving it away, as long as they don’t alter the ebook or claim ownership. They can also offer it as a bonus for a product they sell, as an incentive to get folks to join their newsletter list, as a method of generating affiliate sales, etc.

If the ebook promotes your products, then you may want to let them encode the ebook with their affiliate link. This gives them an additional reason for distributing the ebook—they earn a commission on sales generated through their efforts. This is a big incentive for most people, and they will be more than happy to spend time and effort promoting your ebook.

There are a variety of tools you can find online that allow you to make brandable versions of your ebook, so other people can brand it with their info, including their affiliate link. One very affordable solution is Viral PDF found at ViralPDF.com. It’s also very easy to use, so be sure to look it over before spending money on something else.

As you now know, a marketing virus should definitely be part of your overall marketing plan. If your current results stink, then do something about it! Anyone can succeed online (including YOU), but only if you use tools and techniques that actually work. Good luck!
