So I'm in the process of creating a new site that I think is ideal for a viral marketing campaign. But, I've never done a viral marketing campaign before. So here are a few of the ideas I have to get things launched on a small budget. The site is an interactive game site that appeals to everyone, takes about a minute and spits out unique code for people to add to their blog/facebook/etc. I intend to have the following on the site: - send the results to a friend - buttons to submit to social networking sites To get the word out I'm thinking of doing the following: - paying 100 people $1 to go test the site, build up the samples and, if they like it they can choose to submit to social networking/send to friends. They'd get $1 in their paypal by sending their results to me using their paypal user ID. - going through myself an manually submitting to all of the big social networking sites. - announcing it to my Facebook connections. - posting a link in my sig on various forums - potentially paying for a chunk of traffic (I know this is usually low-quality conversions, but I'm not selling anything on this site, I just want to get it seen by as many people as possible) - potentially paying for reviews on a few blogs that get decent traffic So, any other suggestions? I'm just starting to research this so I'm sure I'll come up with some additional ideas but I'd appreciate feedback on what I have so far.
You can invest in some PLR materials and leave your links in the products. You can give away these products to start the viral. Be sure that the products you give away are related to your niche site. Good luck!
