Email Marketing Made Easy #09 - Digital Products / Viral Marketing
Digital Products (or "Viral Marketing")
One of the biggest trends is a process called "viral marketing." It's not complicated... All it is, is a message that spreads from email to email, or email to web, like a virus. If you create a certain "buzz," your message will be passed around from person to person like wildfire.
But you can make it even easier by incorporating your message into a digital file. Why? Because with computers, it's so easy to simply copy and paste! For example, you can create an electronic book (or "ebook"), or a piece of software (also called "freeware").
For example, I offer a free ebook on my website. It has been downloaded and passed around thousands of times! The goal is to get the people who read the book to visit my website. I barely do any advertising at all, and from the book alone manage to receive thousands of unique visitors.
Whether you use an ebook or software file, hopefully your message will contain your website address. So, when it's passed around, people know where to go to get more!
But, why not use your autoresponder address?
In fact, you can use your Responder to attach these digital documents, and have people pass your autoresponder address around so they can get it faster! Or you can drive people to your website where there's a form people can fill out, receive the digital file in the reply and, at the same time, join your autoresponder opt-in list!
You can develop ebooks through simple software readily available to create, develop and compile your ebook and put your writing into a single, self-contained executable file.
A way to encourage people to download your book and pass it around is to give it "physicality." In other words, by creating a graphic cover of your book, you give it shape. Most people are more willing to download and pass around something they can see and appreciate and again there is software for developing book covers.
Write a short story. Create an instruction manual. Compile a synopsis of your website. Publish a collection of your best articles or past ezine issues. Or assemble a trial version. Then use your autoresponder to pass it around! "

niche forum categories
- I think Kevin just touched on the point that I was going make... and that is developing 'categories' that stick. Sales and Marketing may be too broad for example. However I can almost guarantee you that you would see many more sign-ups if you tailored a category to 'internet marketing' for newbies. I've seen this work on other forums, however, [i:1i903wkn]it can get a little frantic[/i:1i903wkn]...
Fine tuning the categories, or expanding the scope should be effective. I think a lot of IM folks are surfing right on by because they're not finding what they're looking for here...
Just a few thoughts:
Better Blogging
Developing Info Products
Internet Marketing
Presentation Skills
More How to's
Another point is... a lot of people don't know that they can benefit from participating in forums. The signature links to their site - if they have one - can / should be motivation enough to get more involved. The more internet savvy members that have signatures seem to stick around more... Don't you think?
