Viral Marketing with a "Twist"
1. Start an online contest, drawing, etc.
2. Let
contestants know that by entering
contest they're also subscribing to your publication.
3. On
contest form, put a referral or tell a friend box where contestant can enter friends and business associates so that they will be sent an invitation to enter
contest.
But here comes
really good part... NOW we're going to add a "TWIST" to maximize your results.
- Let
contestant know that every person they refer to your contest, they will get an additional entry as well. This is part of
powerful twist.
- Second part of
twist: After they submit
form, give them a URL where they can check to see
"front runners" in
contest.
These last two items are what makes this so powerful. You give your contestants an extra incentive to refer more and more of their friends and a way to track their standing in
contest.
Do you see how this taps into your visitor's triggers of greed and competitive nature? Here's an example of a real contest:

If you take
time to set this up properly, you too may cause an avalanche of quality traffic and subscribers to your site.
I can't say enough about
importance of putting this unused, yet lucrative marketing technique into action. This IS viral marketing with a powerful twist at its best.
