I’m not expecting to repeat Hotmail’s success with my little viral marketing project, but I’m convinced that sooner or later profits will come. It is simply a matter of time. All you need is a good product that you control and be able to give out for free. Make sure that you will be able to place your advertising on front page of product.

You can advertise your newsletter, your web site, products you’re selling, anything you will make a profit if somebody clicks through advertising on freebie. I spare you with details why same ad advertised through viral marketing is so much more effective than regular advertising.

Just one thought. Would you click on a single ad embedded in a software or book send to you by a friend you trust? Of course you would. There is nothing suspicious about this. It’s your friend who recommended this in first place. On other hand nobody actually clicks on advertising popping up on strange web sites you never heard of before.

Now you see why I like viral marketing so much. Quite frankly I believe in future it is only marketing that works. SPAM filters and popup blockers already make it almost impossible to get through to our prospects and it will not get any better.

Prepare your self for future and implement viral marketing today. You will be glad you did.

Next I create doorway pages for new web site and promote them to search engines through a blog. Search engines will index your pages much faster when you have a link to them from a blog. Never submit your sales web site directly to any search engines. You will get much higher rankings if they find you.

I also make sure that I place an unblockable popup window on every doorway page to sign up for my newsletter. This way I capture at least email addresses of my visitors. Also several Google AdSense windows will give me a little kick back.

To make it even more profitable, on thank you page for newsletter subscription I give away free stuff with lots of references to other web sites of mine and I make subscriber aware that real good stuff to download is hidden in an email. If they gave me a fake email just to download free software it won’t work. But at least they download free promo material. My stats showing me that this is working. I always make sure that free stuff I’m giving away has viral marketing built in. It needs to reproduce itself without any intervention from my part.

This doesn’t look like a lot, but after setting up over 10 sales web sites system is gaining momentum. After a while I will drop pay-per-click advertising and system supports itself with enough visitors to make a profit.

Ok, you’re absolutely right. This is a lot of work. However, do math. Let’s say you create a new sales web site every month. After 6 months you break even with initial setup cost and startup pay-per-click costs. After that you’re making net profits. Let’s also say you’re making $200 a month in profits. Not much, but realistic. After just one year you have 12 sales web sites up and running and they produce $2400 a month in profits. Would you walk away from a business like this? Hell no.

Bottom line if you want to get rich quick you need to go to Vegas. If you want to start a serious Internet business you might want to follow my strategy. This works for me, chances are that it will work for you too. If you really want to push this system to limits simply create an affiliate program on top of it and your profits will go through roof.

Sincerely,

Peter Dobler
