Get This Viral Marketing Secret Technique Now!

Go Away (for awhile)

By Don McNulty On May 19, 2009 Comments Off

Below is a link to post on another blog. Yeah, that’s right, I’m sending you somewhere else!

But there’s a good reason: this post is a nice and concise overview of the steps to getting started. Since I believe they cover it extremely well, I’m not going to “reinvent the wheel”, so to speak, but just send you to the good info. The post is on LeadsLeap, which, as you can tell by their ad in the sidebar under “Blog Sponsors”, are one of my blog sponsors, so this is also shamelessly commercial. Here’s the link:  Newbie Step-by-Step Guide.

Near the end of the post, they also mention two of their other articles:

Steps in Creating an Online Business and How to Drive Traffic to Your Website

Both of these are also worth reading. Then, the last step they mention is “Keep Learning and Keep Working”. Maybe I’m starting to sound like a broken record (anybody besides me actually remember records?), but in my previous posts, you may have noticed that I keep encouraging you to decide if this is a hobby or a business for you. If it’s a business, it will take some consistent effort (also known as ‘work’) to be successful; we should all keep learning, too.

Now, I don’t agree 100% with everything they say in these 3 posts, but I agree with enough of it that I believe it is worth your time to read them. OK, once again, here ’s the link to the first post: Newbie Step-by-Step Guide. Go, get started, just please don’t forget about me; after all, I’m the nice guy who showed you where to find this good stuff, right? So, come back soon.

Now, quit reading here and go there: Newbie Step-by-Step Guide

Building Your List with Articles

By Don McNulty On May 5, 2009 Comments Off

You can build your list simply by writing articles. Previously, I discussed using re-written, edited, and spruced-up Private Label Rights (PLR) content), so I won’t go into detail on that now.

Quite simply, you write and submit articles on your website’s area of interest to popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for information you can provide.

Focusing your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding if it’s done right. In a very real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write. You are building up your reputation and trust.

So, how can this method build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as a bio box), you include some brief details about yourself and your business site, including its website address, or URL.

I strongly suggest that your resource box URL links to your site’s mailing list “capture” or “landing” page, where you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost, perhaps by offering a free report or software program.

If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The logical result: viral marketing without further effort on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as Article City or Ezines.com and actually begin your article marketing odyssey today.

How To Use Viral Marketing To Increase Traffic To Your Website

By Don McNulty On April 21, 2009 Comments Off

Viral Marketing is one of the most effective ways of driving traffic to your website with only a little effort.. With viral marketing, you can distribute your marketing message to designated recipients, who then can pass on that message to others. Viral marketing is easy and free or inexpensive, so anyone can do it, including you.

If you have a high-quality product, your marketing content will be passed on to a lot of people. Internet marketers want to pass on high-quality products to their own lists. So the more appealing your products are, the quicker your marketing message will get spread all over the web. This can then generate a huge volume of traffic to your website.

You can carry out your viral marketing campaign by creating e-books, reports or articles and distribute them to targeted recipients, giving them for free. Any internet marketer can do this; since it simply involves creating the product, pass it on and let other people pass it on further for you.

Key examples of how you can do viral marketing are:

• Offer high-quality products that spread your marketing message. Write well-researched reports and e-books on your niche and add your URL on these reports and e-books. Most folks really like getting free reports and e-books. These e-books need to provide compelling information on your topic. People who read them will then visit your website. As they pass along your free report or e-book, it will result in more traffic to your website, as well as increased awareness of your business.

• You can also offer a free service or product on your web site that spreads your message to an increasing number of people who hear about it. Send out press releases to press release websites regarding the free service or product available at your website. This will in turn generate huge amounts of traffic to your website.

• Setting up an affiliate program that encourages links to your products can also be helpful. Provide attractive financial commissions for other sites to pass on your marketing message. With your own affiliates promoting your website, you drive a lot of traffic to your website. If you give them 50%-75% commissions, they will want to sell your product, and you still keep 25%-50% while your affiliates do all the work for you!

• Use traffic exchange programs where you exchange website links with other internet marketers. When you add your website link to another site, some people may be interested in it, and they may bookmark it or pass it on to other people who may be interested in your product or service.

• Write good quality articles and encourage other webmasters to post them for free as content on their sites. If you’re an expert in a niche, write an article on that niche and give it away for free to complementary sites to post on their site as free content, so long as the article contains links to your site. Write high-quality articles and distribute them online for free with reprint rights. More directories, newsletters and e-zines will publish your article with your resource box and URL. With little effort, your URL will be distributed all over the internet, and this will lead to a huge flow of traffic to your website.

Use the real power of viral marketing to spread your marketing message all over the internet – and drive high volumes of traffic to your website.

6 Ways How You Can Use PLR Content To Drive Traffic To Your Website And Boost Your Internet Marketing Business

By Don McNulty On April 20, 2009 Comments Off

Private Label Rights (PLR) content is very popular on the web today. PLR content is written by someone and then sold to other people, namely you,  to use as you wish.

PLR e-books, reports, and articles are a special type of license which you purchase, or often get for free. With a PLR license, you are legally allowed to edit and publish the article as your own, even with your name as the author. Because you have the right to edit the article as you wish, it means that you can use it as web content on your site or add your links to your website and distribute it. Check the license for each item of your PLR content for any restrictions, such as not being allowed to break an ebook up into a series of articles.

Summarized below are some key ways you can use PLR content to drive traffic to your website and boost your internet marketing profits.

• Increase your article marketing by using some PLR content. All you need to do is to simply edit the PLR articles and customize them to make them your own. Then submit them to article sites, where your author’s bio box will generally let you put in a link back to your site. Using PLR content saves you time in writing your articles and blog posts. By using PLR content, you can improve it and end up with an excellent article or blog post that will drive traffic to your website.

• Increase your sales by developing a reputation as an expert in your niche. Again, PLR content make it much easier for you to build your reputation as an expert. Pass on some of your (re-written) PLR content to your customers and build their trust in you. You can then make some one-time-offers (OTOs) or recommend your affiliate programs to them, thus generating sales for free. OK, technically, not free – you do have to invest your time. However, if you lack a big budget to outsource this, you must do it yourself.

• Improve your search engine rankings by submitting your re-written PLR articles. By submitting articles with your resource box and URL, you create one way links to your website, which search engines rank highly (at least at the moment).

• Create and market information products using your PLR content. Edit and customize PLR articles and compile them into an e-book or digital report. It takes time to write an e-book, and it can also be expensive if you were to hire a ghostwriter or freelancer. You can therefore use PLR articles or e-books and add more value to them to create your own hot-selling e-books. You can sell them or give them for free on your website. When you give these articles for free, you can include your website URL in them. This in turn will drive traffic to your website if you let others pass them on to friends. It also lets you capture that person’s email address, thus building your list at the same time.

• Use PLR content to provide an e-course or a newsletter. Building a list is of top importance in internet marketing, and you can use PLR content to offer an e-course on your web site. You can send regular emails to your list with a link to your website, and this increases the number of people who visit your website. Keep your list interested by regularly supplying them with useful content. As you know, your list is an important aspect of your business. You can send these PLR articles to your list regularly. This will make them visit your site on a regular basis. About 1 out of 4 or 5 of your emails should try to sell them something; more content then sales pitches – or you’ll get a lot of “unsubscribes”.

• Create your own article directory in your niche using PLR content to improve the search engine optimization of your website. You can also add affiliate links or Google AdSense on your article directory, thus increasing your website traffic and profits.

In short, PLR content can be used to drive traffic to your website, build your list, and increase your online business profits. Have fun, make money!
