If you shop online regularly I’m sure you are already familiar with the marketing techniques many webmasters use by offering you FREE bonuses, gifts and other incentives in an effort to encourage you to make a purchase from them.

That is all well and good.

However, did you know that (depending on what rights you are granted with the freebies); you can use those “Freebies” to your advantage to add value to your eBooks and other products?

Here are just a few ways that you can find Freebies and things that you could do:

Do a Google search on the internet to find free gifts that are related to your product.

Search under a few keywords such freebies, free reports, free eBooks, free software, free gifts, etc.

Look for products that compliment your product that you can give away as a free gift in your eBook.

By doing that you will make your product more appealing to your readers and you will increase your chances of making a sell.

Look for eBooks on the same topic of your eBook that are published by established expert publishers or by other publishers who have a different take on the same topic.

You can accomplish this by placing your keywords in every chapter of your eBook and researching those keywords in your favorite search engine(s).

Once you have found the free eBook that you are looking for add a link to it in every chapter of your eBook.

Don’t be afraid to search, as many sites have freebies and they want you to distribute them.

Here are a few ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:

1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral Book and allow people to give away your free eBook to their subscribers. When their visitors give away the eBook it will take on an exponential effect and spread like wildfire all over the internet.

2. If possible, set up a forum or bulletin board and allow visitors to use your forum or bulletin board for their website. You can include your banner at the top of the forum or discussion board.

3. Write articles pertaining to your niche and allow others to reprint them on their website, in their newsletters, ezines, eBooks or magazines. Always include your resource box at the bottom of each article along with the option for the article to be reprinted.

4. Search the internet to find products with branding rights that allows you to add your name, website information, and contact information to the product and those that allow you to pass it along to others “free of charge.”

5. If you are creative you can design your own graphics, software, templates, fonts, etc., include your own ads on them and include a link directly back to your website.

To preserve the integrity of your designs, make sure that visitors to your website agree to keep any copyrighted information that you provide in tact and include in the copyright notice a link back to your website.

Once they have agreed to your terms and conditions you can then allow them to give away your templates, graphics, fonts, software, etc.

6. In exchange for allowing your website visitors to advertise in an eBook that you have written, make sure they agree to give away your eBook to their ezine subscribers or to their website visitors.

Always over-deliver and give your readers the very best offer possible. They will appreciate you for it.

Quite simply, it doesn’t matter if you have a blockbuster product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that it exists, forget it, you are not going to attract traffic and make sales. If that happens, then you don’t have a business.

While there are many methods and schemes used by so many websites today, there is still one reliable method that can help you with an extra boost in the constant requirement to attract trageted traffic.

Welcome To Viral Marketing

While the term viral may easily depict a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, do not worry. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares. Viral marketing is legitimate, effective and accepted by the online community as one of the best ways of raising awareness of your website and products.

What Is Viral Marketing?

Viral marketing is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of a product or company. It is the use of several forms of media to reach out to potential customers without actually promoting the product. Advertising without directly advertising the product or service.

In a nutshell, in the big wide world of advertising companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pass on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and thus open it as well.

This is all very well with large companies with huge advertising budgets, but how can the power and effectiveness of viral marketing help the owner of a website with the promotion of their product of service?

Using Viral Marketing To Your Advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers, ie targeted traffic. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Websites and companies are catching on to the effectivity of viral marketing. Not using it could end your website business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

How To Use Viral Marketing

Viral Marketing is a great way to get people to know about your website. One of the most cost effective means of viral marketing (don’t forget it can be free) is writing articles. In the resource box of your article will be the information about your website. Your article gets distributed and hence your website information then spreads among those who have expressed an interest in what you are writing about.If their interest is stimulated enough, they will then go to the website address that you have given in the resource box and thus, you have a targeted visitor to your website.

Other forms of viral marketing include blogging, becoming active in forums by leaving messages and replies for the particular niche that your website is pitched to, press releases, even utilising the power of Youtube. The more you think about this, the greater the avenues for viral marketing appear.

Viral marketing undertaken in different formats and targeted correctly can create a continual flow of targeted interested visitors to your website who will be more inclined to spend than a casual visitor. And never forget that one of the major benefits of viral marketing is that as a means of targeting your advertising message, using many of the methods it can be free.
