    Viral marketing is a way to spread your product via word of mouth. It is extremely effective if you can get it going, but harder to set in motion than it would appear at first glance.

    Viral marketing and viral advertising are buzzwords referring to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness or to achieve other marketing objectives (such as product sales) through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of viruses or computer viruses. It can be delivered by word of mouth or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet. Viral promotions may take the form of video clips, interactive Flash games, advergames, ebooks, brandable software, images, or text messages.

    A good way to get it going is by running some kind of competition. What you should do is firstly get a good website, with good PR and backlinks/traffic etc etc.

    Then go to some companies that fit your niche and ask for donations for competions in exchange for featuring them on your website with the product, go out to your twitter following, post some blog entry about them, give them a good review.

    If you can get any donations you can offer this as a prize. What you could do in order to get some press coverage is try and get some charity involved. This can be a good human interest story for papers, websites etc. It all will spiral into something very big.

    The company I was working for recently did a campaign, getting radio1, shakeaway, channel five and teletext holidays all on board, as well as benefit makeup and others. This competitions was then featured on live TV with an average viewing of 2.5million, the website was getting 5k hits per day. The website was getting real exposure and people were recommending the competition and the website.

    We had created an engaging game for people to play to enter the competition, a fruit machine. Giving a 1 in 200 chance in winning. Also you get a nice email list for marketing and phone number list is intersted.

    This can be marketed easily, great thing for people to share on social networking, media will be happy to cover it, other blogs and website would be happy to write about it. Hard work to set up but rewards are massive.

    In short: -

    GOOD WEBSITE
    COMPETITION (PRIZES)
    DONATIONS FROM COMPANIES
    IN AID OF A CHARITY (EXPOSURE + DONATION LINK)
