Spreading the Viral Marketing
July 3, 2008
Many of you have no doubt heard of Viral Marketing otherwise you probably would not have found this post. When I look up the term in the pulp fiction of the all powerful and all knowing Wikipedia they provide the following description:
Viral marketing and viral advertising refer 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 pathological and computer viruses. It can be word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the network effects of the Internet. 
Basically viral marketing is word of mouth advertising spread by your consumers to their peers in an environment that allows that message to spread at an exponential rate.
Lets say for example you are an online poker affiliate and your looking for ways to increase your revenue. You have a fairly good sized roster of players, but your signups are down and your players are not playing as much as you would like, how can you use viral marketing techniques to improve your signup numbers and increase play? According to Dr. Ralph F. Wilson there are 6 elements required for a successful viral marketing campaign to work:
1. Gives away products or services
2. Provides for effortless transfer to others
3. Scales easily from small to very large
4. Exploits common motivations and behaviors
5. Utilizes existing communication networks
6. Takes advantage of others’ resources
