Understanding The Power Of Viral Marketing Online
Understanding The Power Of Viral Marketing Online
By Lois S., Fri Dec 9th
The story of how Hotmail moved from zero to a couple of millionsubscribers in a few months is one that is often told in manysites all over the net. However it is a story that many do notquite understand. If they understood it, we would be seeing manymore online success stories and fewer online failures. Becausethe word has also been over-used by hype peddlers, many timespeople associate the word viral with spamming and other onlineactivities bordering on the illegal. Viral growth and marketing has always been with us They fail to realize that viral growth and marketing is notsomething new to the human race. In fact it has been there sincethe beginning of time. The human race began with two people,Adam and Eve. Today the human race has filled virtually everycorner of this huge planet. Many religions of the world startedwith a single person but were quickly “virally marketed” toreach millions.
Even the now World Wide Web started off as a few computers,mainly used by researchers, linked together. But as theycontinuously enjoyed their experience and as new software andtechnology was made available for more people to join this small“web of linked computers” it suddenly started growing. Thegrowth within a very short time has been explosive and it hasall been viral. So let us be clear that was notinvented or created by the net, the net in fact used it to growto what it is today. Viral marketing will only work with something useful As many MLM and network marketing people have discovered, viralmarketing will not work with products that people do not finduseful. Some marketing experts have always turned to viralmarketing in the form of MLM or network
marketing to push andclear stocks of a product that has totally failed in the market.Where they think they have succeeded, they have only ruinedtheir credibility and that of their businesses as folks haveended up with massive stocks of some useless item stored intheir garage because they believed somebody who told them theywould make a lot of money. This is the chief reason whyMulti-level Marketing (which is pure viral marketing) has such abad name with many people. The internet is a natural for viral marketing The reason why Hotmail was so successful so quickly is becausethe net actually multiplies and speeds up the viral effect. Inreal life you may forget the name of the movie you liked so muchwhen you are telling a friend about it, or the name of the bookyou read last year. On the internet, forwarding an interesting article usuallyinvolves a few quick clicks and even if you forget the title ofthe book, a quick visit to your favorite search engine armedwith the few keywords or just the name of the author will yieldthe book for you complete with the current online speciallyoffer price for it. If you want to succeed online you can’t avoid thinkingviral Anybody who wants explosive growth and success in any onlineendeavour cannot avoid thinking “virally” in all their marketingplans. Failing to use this powerful marketing method, that hasbeen successfully used since the beginning of time, will be avery unfortunate thing indeed.
