Next, create the actual viral report and embed your affiliate link in multiple places. If you
have a site and a list, you may want to instead post a link to your list – and then use
back-end mechanisms to make the sale.
Your last step is to actually ensure that this viral report:
a) Gets into as many people's hands as humanly possible; and
b) Gets into the hands of people who will definitely redistribute it to others
without charging any fees. This is where the art of free viral report distribution
comes into play.
A good way to distribute your viral report is to create a buzz on forums. You will want to
discuss some specific experience you had related to the topic you will cover in the report
– and you will want to do it well in advance of your release date.
You will then want to start talking up your release – and also explain that the report will
be completely free. Furthermore, you may want to even start locking people in for
immediate distribution via email by getting them to join a list. To learn more about viral
marketing through this method, you may want to check out some of the case studies at
the following URL: http://www.marketingsherpa.com/.
Additionally, you may want to check out http://www.viralPDF.com, which is an excellent
tool you can use to create the actual viral reports.
Once you have begun building a forum buzz for the report, you will want to go to e-zine
owners in your particular niche and ask them if they are interested in getting a free report
on whichever subject you are marketing. The distribution effect will multiply,
subsequently multiplying your sales.
Please note that I will provide a free viral report that you can use to promote my affiliate
product. This will cut out the development phase for you.
And the ultimate grand of schemes, which I have purposely saved this method for the
last (yet most important!) is:
Build Your Own Mailing List… Even Though
You’re an Affiliate!
