Viral Marketing Techniques - How to Rake in Huge Amounts of Cash Creating a Viral Mechanism - Part 1

Aurelius Tjin asked:


Ever heard of the virus whether in man or on the computer? The most popular one we all know is the HIV virus which is a very potent virus that can wipe away a 6 ft 5” man in just 6 months if he isn’t using his drugs. While this seems to be pretty fast, imagine the Ebola virus. If one catches it, he’s dead in just one week; at the most two weeks and you know the thing about Ebola is that it’s incurable. Why does the virus have such ability to wipe away a whole populace within just a few days, it is because of its ability to proliferate rapidly and spread faster than even wildfire.

What does this have to do with marketing online or offline? This is where we are going. Imagine creating these same results but in his case, you are not transmitting a virus. You are spreading word about your report, product or services and it is following the viral mechanism. This is what is known as Viral Marketing. It is a method of marketing that is highly productive as long as you are offering high quality content. Imagine creating a viral mechanism that is unstoppable and keeps spreading like wildfire? You can achieve this if you know what to do and how to go about it. There are a few ways you could easily do this and we’ll start with it in this lesson.

Using a tell-a-friend script. If you have visited any website recently that is constantly updated, you will find that it will have a script on the page that either says “send this to a friend”, “tell a friend about this page”, or “tell a friend about this website and get …”. This is abundant all over the internet. The idea behind this single script is to increase the awareness of a product, website or service all over the internet and in the real world. For example let’s say you found this really nice material on reducing labour pains during birth and has a friend who is pregnant, it is only natural that you would want to send her that material to read. Online, all you have to do is enter her email address and voila she gets it in her inbox. After which you might now call her to either check out the website or her email. If she’s got a group for pregnant women, she could refer them to the site or send the material to them through an email. Now you see what happened. “A” saw the material and liked it and felt ”B” who in turn felt 14 people would really like it too and so on and so forth. The bottom line is you have created through one person, a mechanism that grows geometrically or exponentially depending on which angle you are looking at it from.

Using a tell-a-friend script is one of the best ways you can create this effect. To get a very good tell-a-friend script, you can use your search engine to check for some using the keywords “free tell-a-friend scripts”, get a programmer to create a simple script for you for under $100 or Mike filsaime’s Viral friend Generator which can be found at www.viralfriendgenerator.com.

Remember today’s lesson: Create a viral mechanism using tell-a-friend scripts.

What on Earth would be the benefits of hosting a no-rake poker game?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009
Loves2Teach asked:


I have a friend who goes to a home/private poker game with $100 buy-ins. They play hold ‘em, tournament style, and the host provides free booze and snacks. What’s in it for him? I can’t for the life of me figure out why he’d want to continue doing it. He doesn’t charge a fee or rake the pot or anything. Thanks for your answers!

Your cat is eating your best rake-would you scold the cat for eating the rake or the rake being eaten by cat?

Because we all know that a bad rake is not a good thing.

Raking In Rewards With An American Express Air Miles Credit Card

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Devin Gilliland asked:


With over 9,600 merchants that accept the American Express AIR MILES credit card throughout Canada, accumulation of reward miles is really not that difficult. When you build up adequate miles for redemption, you will get a chance to travel for free, to and from the destination of your choice. Rewards may include stays at selected resorts, package vacations and cruises, travel and hotels, and merchandise rewards.

The American Express AIR MILES credit card allows you carry a balance every month. If you are a good payer, your credit limit could be set at a level of up to twenty-five thousand dollars. The minimum credit limit for an American Express AIR MILES credit card is one-thousand dollars. Although the American Express AIR MILES credit card does not carry an annual fee (which extends to the supplementary cards), the downside is that APR on purchases and on transferred balances from other cards will be higher than average.

As is the case with all American Express credit cards, you will enjoy features such as emergency card replacements, 24 hours customer service, online account access, and the option to transfer balances at low interest rates.

You can apply for an American Express AIR MILES credit card by logging on to the American Express website. You will need to provide your personal details such as name, existing credit card number (in case you have an American Express card), collector number of AIR MILES (should you have one), and date of birth. Contact details such as your home address, telephone number, and preferred e-mail address will also be requested.

Another set of information needed for the American Express AIR MILES credit card application, is your employment details. This will include your employment status, a brief description of your occupation, the telephone number at your workplace, the name and address of your employer, and your personal income per annum. During the submission process, you will be asked whether you wish to transfer any outstanding balances from your non-American Express credit cards to the American Express AIR MILES credit card. If this is your intention, provide the amount, your account number of the credit/charge card, and the name of the financial institution or the retail company.

After submitting your American Express AIR MILES credit card application, you should receive a response within one minute. If for any reason more information is required, an American Express employee will contact you within ten days.
