Intro
In the web 1.0 era, the internet world was uni-directional. Meaning, I
own a website, and write about topics and you read about it. Today,
there is a multi-dimensional interaction in web content between
webmasters and their target audiences.
People can comment, share, “Like”(For Facebook) and suggest using
the variety of sharing tools such as blogs, microblogging platforms
(Twitter), Facebook and other social sharing websites such as Reddit
and Digg.com
This eases and facilitates the growth of Viral marketing and has made
viral marketing the best way to grow someone’s business fast.
What’s important is this, if you fail to tap into the wonders of viral
marketing, your competitors will and you will be leaving tons of
money on the table. In the next chapter, we will look at the basics of
viral marketing and how you can apply it to your business.

Chapter 2:
The Power Of Social Media
Synopsis
One of the biggest mistakes many marketers, old and new make is
underestimate the power of social media.

- 9 -
The Might
Just to give you an idea, Facebook is the largest online social
networking website in the world and has over 500 million users. If it
was a country, it would be the third largest country in the world, after
China and India.
Social media has recently became the number one activity in the
world – Surpassing email. This just shows how much time is spent in
social media activities. What this means is there is immense potential
for viral marketing to explode in the social media scene. Imagine if
you could tap into this millions of users because your idea or brand
can relate to them.
I would also like to draw your attention to the world’s largest video
sharing site – YouTube. YouTube has millions of views everyday and
because of the viral nature of videos, your business stands to gain
much by tapping into this viral video sharing phenomenon. Ever
watched a quirky, funny video that made you so compelled to share it
with your friends?
And then we have the micro blogging platform – Twitter. It’s ever
growing user base tells us that we have to jump on the bandwagon
before it’s too late! Twitter has a huge market waiting to be tapped!
(we will look into these avenues in the next few chapters)
- 10 -
Chapter 3:
Basics Of Viral Marketing
Synopsis
So how can you start applying the power of viral marketing in your
business? The first thing you must know, is viral marketing is the
power of word of mouth. Meaning, you must give an avenue for
people to share content with others.
- 11 -
The Basics
For example, if you own a Wordpress blog, you can install social
sharing plugins so that sharing tools will appear at the end of your
blog posts. One of these tools is called ShareThis, which gives you to
option to incorporate a wide variety of social sharing tools at the end
of your blog posts, pages or even on the side bars.
Once you’ve set up the viral marketing tools for your website or blog,
you need to determine your viral marketing goals. Goals should be
measurable so you can monitor your progress and work towards
improvement.
This could be something like number of Facebook “Likes”, blog
comments, visitors per week or sales per month. Once you’ve
determined your goals you can set out your viral strategy to move you
towards these goals.
As simple as it sounds, viral marketing requires some planning and
know how to get it right, which we will deal with these technique in
the next section.
- 12 -
Chapter 4:
Creating A Viral E-book
Synopsis
In the olden days, anybody who gave free stuff away without asking
for something in return would be seen as a fool. But the smartest
marketers know better. They gave away freebies and incentives to
grow their fan base so that when they released their actual paid
product, their sales exploded because people knew how good their
stuff were.
- 13 -
Ebooks
A viral e-book can help you generate buzz and hype about your
business and products if you position it correctly. Here’s how you
create a viral e-book. First, think of a topic you want to write on. The
e-book should ideally be something your niche market is looking for
and is somehow tied in with a paid product you wish to release in the
future.
Inside your viral e-book, mention that you are giving your readers
exclusive “giveaway” rights to the e-book. Meaning, your readers are
free to share your content with others as long as the viral book
remains intact. Inside the viral book, you’ll have to sprinkle your
website links throughout or perhaps use them in the footer. That
way, when your e-book is spread around, your links are retained and
new readers will see your link and flock to it to find more good
content!
Most importantly, remember to share your viral e-book with your
followers so that they can help you do the spreading.

- 14 -
Chapter 5:
Using Facebook as a viral tool
Synopsis
One of the reasons why Facebook has picked up so fast as the largest
and one of the fastest growing websites in the world is because it is
viral in nature.
Do you want to make $1000 per Day with the Super
Affiliate System. This has helped me become
financially free.
- 15 -
Facebook
Things spread easily via word of mouth with Facebook. That is why
many big corporations have recognized this power and have been
finding ways to tap into this power.
Whether you are a small business owner or own a huge chain of
businesses, you have the potential to tap into the viral nature of
Facebook to grow your business by leaps and bounds. One of the key
viral components of Facebook is the Fan pages.
What happens is you can create one page for your business and set up
all the basic information about your business. From there, you can
invite your customers to join you there by “Liking” your fan page.
Once you’ve got a budding community set up, get them interacting on
the page and continue to provide content so as to set up a social “hub”
for your business on Facebook.
The viral marketing nature comes in when every single interaction
your fans make on the page gets displayed on their news feed. All of
their friends will see their news feed and get curious about what is
going on in the Fan page. From there, you will get more likes and your
page will start to grow at an exponential pace. Think of it as passive,
viral traffic with minimal work!
- 16 -
Chapter 6:
Using Twitter As A Viral Tool
Synopsis
As mentioned earlier, you can leverage on Twitter as a viral tool to
reach out to your target audience.
- 17 -
Twitter
Twitter is the world’s largest micro blogging platform which boasts
millions of users or “Tweeps” (Twitter people). Twitter allows you to
post short updates to your followers so you can stay connected with
them in real time.
Here’s one trick for creating viral buzz on Twitter. Ask your followers
to re-tweet or tweet about your web content such as blog posts if they
like your stuff. You can also offer incentives such as give a free e-book
to the top tweeter follower who promotes your content.
The hashtag is often used in Twitter to denote certain events. Let’s say
your business is having a launch. You can get your loyal followers to
tweet about your launch using the # tag so to build hype about your
launch.
When others search Twitter cyberspace for your launch using the
#tag, they will see the amount of buzz onto it and you’ve just made
instant credibility for yourself. Furthermore, if you manage to become
a trending topics, your business growth will explode!
Overall, Twitter can be used to build good rapport with your
customers so that they will be more responsive to your content and
more readily share your content with others because they like it so
much.
- 18 -
Chapter 7:
Techniques For Creating Viral Buzz
Synopsis
Here’s some extra techniques for creating viral buzz which you can
learn and apply immediately in your business:
- 19 -
Strategies
1) Organize competitions. See who can get the most Facebook
“likes” and reward the person with a gift or e-book.
2) Tweetathon – Organize a tweetathon for a common cause that
is related to the business you are in.
3) Always reply comments. By replying and re-tweeting to people
who share your content, you tell them that you are listening and
that you are there for your customers.
4) Include social sharing tools everywhere. You can use the
Facebook Sharer link to allow people to share content with their
friends on Facebook everywhere they go.
5) Start a YouTube channel. Remember, videos are highly viral in
nature and have the ability to reach a wide audience in a short
time. Make some funny videos and share them with your
followers, asking them to share it if they like it.
6) Use QR codes to generate curioisity – QR codes are a cool and
funny way to market your business virally and it’s a wonder why
it’s been underutilized till today.
In short, content is king when it comes to viral marketing. The more
good and viral your content is, the more people will be willing to
share it with others.
- 20 -
Chapter 8:
Viral Marketing Mistakes To Avoid
Synopsis
Viral Marketing is definitely a great tool to utilize for marketing your
business, but if you commit these mistakes you’ll be doing more harm
than good. Here’s what to avoid.
- 21 -
Errors
1) Not creating an incentive for users to pass it along - make the
content itself good/funny – Jokes are a good bet.
2) Failing to capitalise on a campaign that proves successful. If
your campaign starts to take off, ask yourself whether you can
get any further publicity, monetize the incoming traffic or get
more leads.
3) Copying a viral campaign that does not suit your business. By
doing so you will mess up the message you want to give your
customers.
4) Not combining your viral efforts with other marketing methods.
You shouldn’t put all your eggs into one basket – It’s suicide for
your business.
5) Not integrating SEO with your viral campaign. There is a
synergistic effect of SEO and keywords with your viral efforts so
don’t overlook it!
6) Not making your stuff easy to share. Always give ample sharing
tools for your followers to make things viral.
- 22 -
Wrapping Up
It is with my greatest hope that this e-book has given you a clear
overview of the benefits of viral marketing and how it can help you
rapidly grow your business, get new leads and boost profits.
Just like how Rome was not built in a day, there are no shortcuts to
success. Proper planning should always precede a viral campaign, as
well as getting the right people are resources followed by execution.
Your business stands much to gain through the power of viral
marketing. Even if you struggle with managing your viral campaign,
sometimes, hiring people to do the job for you can give you more
benefits and can easily cover your investment costs from the hype and
buzz you will get.
If you are still sitting on the fence, the best way is to dive in, take
action, and tweak as you go.
I wish you all the best in your viral marketing endeavors!
Warm Regards
