Generating Traffic: Viral Marketing

Viral Marketing is one of the best ways to get more traffic to almost any site.
Because of the many forms of viral marketing, the possibilities of how much traffic you receive are endless.

So, what is Viral Marketing?

I don’t want to spend too much time on definitions, but, in short, viral marketing is creating a marketing message that will be spread to others also by other people and not just by yourself.

Compare it to a cold virus – if you have a cold you don’t need to visit everybody in your town to expose them all to it. You just have to visit a few people. They in turn will pass it on to others, who will pass it on, and so forth.

chapter 5

An Introduction to List Building – Creating Your First Squeeze Page

By this point you should have already figured out your niche market.
If you haven’t done so yet, go back to previous chapters and complete that task first.

Next thing to do is to start building a list of prospects who will be potential customers. This is called list building.

Why List Building Is VITAL To Your Affiliate Marketing Business ?
Your list is the life-blood of your business. Without it, you will spend more time generating traffic than you will making money – and probably you’ll generate traffic, but making money , that may not happen ..
