The most popular social networking sites, Facebook and Myspace are both in the top 10 rankings in Alexa. And not to forget tons of other social networking sites which are also experiencing high levels of traffic to their sites every single day. Hence, one of the best ways to drive a ton of traffic is through setting up forums and social networks in your own niche. While in the past, this might seem like a mammoth effort. However, in recent years, there have been many scripts (both free and paid) which allow you to do so. If you’re able to manage a highly targeted social network in your niche, you can certainly find lots of targeted buyers for your products. This is because these niche social networks will attract people who are genuinely interested in your products. And with the viral effect, your social networks can easily explode in members within a short period. Once again, this is probably not something everyone can manage right from the start, but certainly one that you can work towards to.
5. Distributing viral PDF reports Now this is probably one of the most common viral marketing techniques used by most marketers. Simply because, PDF reports are considered to be rather easy to create and can be distributed freely. You just choose a topic related to your niche and churn out say a 20-30 pages report. Inside the report, you also insert a few relevant affiliate links to resources which you recommend. You also dedicate at least one page to promote yourself and your websites. In short, you must ensure that there is maximum publicity for your business and also the affiliate programs you would like to promote. Thereafter, you can distribute your report and also pass on the giveaway rights and encourage others to help you pass on the report as well. Thus, your viral report can potentially end up in the hands of thousand of people which could translate into thousand of clicks to your websites as well. Surely, the potential of distributing viral reports is huge as people love free stuffs.
