Viral marketing is a great way to get visitors to your site with little or no effort. The principle revolves around giving free powerful information to your viewers that will entice them to learn more about you and eventually buy your products or sign up to your newsletter.

The great thing about away giving free information is that it gives your readers a chance to see what you have to offer without having to spend a dime. If the information you’re giving them is truly valuable, they will see you as an authority and they will be easily influenced by your suggestions.

The best way to do this is to release a small report or ebook that will include links to your site or products. You can also include affiliate links so you can get even more streams of income. If your main product is a book on acne per example, you could release a free report called:"7 natural cures for acne" and give it away as a free bonus to subscribers of your list.

To promote your guide, you can release articles related to the subject to article directories. You have to keep in mind that when someone visits your site after they’ve read one of your articles, it shows that they really liked what they saw and that they respect your opinion. This is very valuable traffic that usually converts very well.

You can also go on related forums and put the link to your free guide in your signature. Make sure you mention that it’s free so you can attract more visitors. You should also mention in your report that it is freely distributable and that they can share it with anyone they feel can benefit from this information. This way, people will actually be making your promotion for you and you’ll start to get new visitors out of nowhere…

When you write your free information product, make sure that your links are naturally imbedded in your text so it doesn’t look like obvious advertising. You can also use the power of affiliate marketing to get even more traffic to your main product. You can do that by allowing your affiliates to imbed their affiliate link into your free report. This is called rebranding and this technique only works if you have your own product to sell and an affiliate program set up. All you have to do is sign up with Clickbank for a publisher account. The process is rather simple, and they also have a great payment processor, so you should definitely give it a try.

Viral marketing is truly in my opinion one of the best ways to promote your product or newsletter. Imagine having the power of thousands of readers and affiliates working for you to bring you tons of highly targeted traffic everyday… Pretty awesome isn’t it? So give viral marketing a try and you’ll be amazed at the results you will get…
