Written by Mark Joyner


Continued from page 1

Viral Marketing is any type of marketing that encourages people to spread your marketing message around for you.

Think about this - it sure would be great if people advertised your product for you, wouldn't it? It beatsrepparttar heck out of paying for advertising.

Here's a viral marketing story for you:

When I startedrepparttar 121748 e-book marketing craze back in 1995 withrepparttar 121749 release of "Search Engine Tactics," I promotedrepparttar 121750 book with a very simple viral marketing scheme.

Here's what I did:

I put a note inrepparttar 121751 book itself that everyone was granted permission to give away or even sellrepparttar 121752 book on their sites. They would benefit by giving something of value to their visitors - I would benefit by advertising products inrepparttar 121753 book. The people that they gave it to sawrepparttar 121754 note inrepparttar 121755 book, and they gave it away on their sites - and so on...

So, did this work? You berepparttar 121756 judge:

a. The e-book was downloaded over 1,000,000 times when we last counted in 1998.

b. The e-book was noted by ZDNet as one ofrepparttar 121757 top downloads of 1999, and isrepparttar 121758 only e-book ever to be given 5 Stars by ZDNet.

c. Experts have since written entire books about my little ploy showing people how, they too, can unleashrepparttar 121759 viral power of free e-books as traffic builders.

The point? Well, one simple viral marketing tactic put my name onrepparttar 121760 map. Granted, it was an unusually successful virus, but this was just one simple tactic...

People are still giving this book away on their sites today, and I haven't done anything to promote it in years.

High traffic sites are always looking for new ways to spread their message virally.

3. They Turn Traffic into More Traffic

This is where most people blow it. Allow me to explain...

Whenever I consult for businesses I always teach my "Internet Marketing Battle Plan" concept and use that asrepparttar 121761 basis for everything we do. This laysrepparttar 121762 groundwork forrepparttar 121763 best marketing possible. (Side Note: I very rarely do any consulting anymore - and usually only as a favor to close friends. I just don't have time for it - I love it, but my own Internet business is too lucrative to spend time doing anything else.)

The Internet Marketing Battle Plan is a cohesive system consisting of 5 unique tactics that represent each step ofrepparttar 121764 Internet Marketing Process. All successful Internet Marketing I have encountered follows one form or another of this plan.

Step 4 is: "A Tactic for Getting People to Come Back to Your Site."

If you're selling a product on your site, remember that most sales are not closedrepparttar 121765 first time someone hears about a product. Obviously, getting people to come back will greatly increase your chances of closing a sale.

If you're selling advertising on your site, clearly getting initial traffic to come back over and over again will snowball your traffic.

There are thousands of ways to do this, but you always need to have:

a. An incentive for getting them to come back.

For example, atrepparttar 121766 killertacticsjournal.com site, we entice readers to come back by offering free marketing advice each week from world-leading experts. This incentive needs to be truly valuable or it won't work.

If we offered misguided advice from self-proclaimed experts, it would not be nearlyrepparttar 121767 same incentive. Instead, we offer battle tested advice from undisputed world-leading experts like Jay Conrad Levinson, Brian Tracy, Joe Sugarman, Ted Nicholas... If we didn't offer our readers value each time, they just wouldn't come back!

b. A method of informing them ofrepparttar 121768 incentive.

For example, sign up for our newsletter and we inform you whenever this new information is available. You come back and this startsrepparttar 121769 cycle again.

Can you think of other ways to inform people about your incentives? Use your imagination.

High traffic websites always keep people coming back for more.

You now haverepparttar 121770 plan - it's up to you to put it into action. Work on all three of these secrets every single day and I assure you that your traffic will increase dramatically.
