“Viral marketing is a sales technique that involves organic or word-of-mouth information about a product or service to spread at an ever-increasing rate.”

Viral marketing is simply defined; It is any strategy that is implemented by brand ambassadors or influencers to encourage people to pass on a marketing message to others; which in turn creates the potential for growth and more people seeing your message. Viral marketing also increases targeted traffic. This can cause viral traffic to pick up, and your marketing message to reach a lot of people in a short amount of time.

Before you begin a strategy to increase viral traffic or targeted traffic you must understand that some strategies work better than others. But if you put the proper amount of research into your viral traffic strategy you will increase your odds of coming up with a successful program.

There are a couple of important tips that you should keep in mind when trying to increase viral traffic, they are as follows:

1. The most important aspect to remember when trying to increase viral or targeted traffic is to give something away for free. Everybody likes freebies, and if you are giving something away that people like there is a better chance that your recipients will pass on your marketing message. The word free alone will increase your viral traffic. You cannot determine your traffic by just freebies. Some viral marketing programs take off right away, whereas others build slowly. It all depends on your strategy, and what you are giving away. And bear in mind that you might also be attracting those that are just after your free stuff.

 

1. To increase viral traffic, you must also make sure that your message is easily transferable from one person to the next. You will never increase your viral traffic if you must depend on somebody else to pass along your information. It should be automatically done via email, websites, or even content downloads. The bottom line is that you need to make sure your viral marketing message is concise, to the point, and easily transferable.

 

1. Before putting a strategy in place to increase viral traffic you will want to make sure that you can handle the traffic and requests that come along with it. This goes along with doing your research before starting. If you cannot handle the new viral traffic, all your hard work will mean nothing in the end. But there is always AUTOMATION.

 

1. One of the easiest ways to increase viral traffic is to use existing networks. In other words, implement your strategy to touch base with people who will be interested, and therefore pass your information on to other people in their network. This will ensure that you get a good group of targeted traffic to take notice of your project. You need to be giving away your free gifts to people that will use them, so targeted traffic is very important. By working within a network, you will have a better chance of driving up targeted traffic, which will help your strategy spread.

 

Overall, viral marketing is a great way to get exposure and increase profit. If your strategy does a good job of bringing in targeted traffic, there is no reason that you should not be able to accomplish the goals that you have set forth.
