Viral Marketing Tools Viral marketing is all the rage. Everybody and their grandmother wants to know what the best viral marketing tools are. They want to get their message out to the whole planet, Jupiter and just about every star in our solar system. Well, this article will hopefully give you a few viral marketing tools that will get the job done, maybe not to that extent, but at least to the extent that you'll be reaching a sufficient number of people to make some sales. The answers you find below may surprise you. Well, we might as well start with the most popular viral marketing tool today, which is the "Tell A Friend" script. To explain this simply is not an easy task as their is really nothing simple about this tool. Basically, it is a form that you fill out with the names and email addresses of "friends" of yours. These people will then receive the same email that you received and be directed to the same form, where they will fill in the names of their own friends to send this information to. In theory, this sounds great. It certainly does get the word out quickly. The problem that many people are running into is that some of their so called "friends" are plugging in email addresses of people who are not exactly friends and as a result, many spam complaints are being generated. Because of this, some of the autoresponder services are not allowing their members to use these scripts. This of course is starting a huge battle between those who support this tool and those who think that in the wrong hands, it could be a deadly weapon. The jury is still out and it may be quite some time before anything definitive is decided to determine if these scripts will continue to circulate around the Internet. Another viral marketing tool is the ebook. Now, I know you're probably wondering how an ebook can be viral. Well, it all depends on how you use it. If you put up a website and have an opt in form for people to use to get this ebook for free, this is the start of the process. The way the process continues is that in the ebook itself, you tell these people to pass it along to their friends. As they do this, the free ebook gets into the hands of more people. How does this help you? Well, if inside the ebook there are links to many of your products or programs, this can translate into income later down the road if some of the people who get their hands on this ebook buy some of your products or services. Circulating ebooks is one of the oldest biral marketing tools around. But probably the best viral marketing tool today is one that has been around since the beginning of time, and that's word of mouth. There is nothing more effective than telling a friend of yours either via PM or email or at a forum, that there's a new book on viral marketing that they have to check out. If they have any faith in you at all, which they should have since you're their friend, they will most likely check this book out and tell others about it if they find it's a good book. Now, if it just happens to be YOUR book...Well, you get the picture I am sure. The above items are just the tip of the iceberg for viral marketing tools.
