Your Local Biz Vids

Hi Friend,

Jeff Davis here, and before we
get into the meat and potatoes of
how you can use viral marketing to help get a
buzz going about your small business, let’s
start with a definition of exactly what
“viral marketing” means.

According to the Wikipedia, “Viral marketing
and viral advertising refer to marketing
techniques that use preexisting social
networks to produce increases in brand
awareness, through self-replicating viral
processes, analogous to the spread of
pathological and computer viruses. It can be
word-of-mouth delivered or enhanced by the
network effects of the Internet. Viral
marketing is a marketing phenomenon that
facilitates and encourages people to pass
along a marketing message voluntarily. Viral
promotions may take the form of video clips,
interactive Flash games, advergames, images,
or even text messages.”

If you’ve ever had a hotmail, yahoo or G-mail
account, you’ve participated in a viral
marketing campaign every time you sent an
email to someone – because the company
inserted a small (and usually discreet
advertisement) at the bottom of all of your
outgoing emails – inviting the people you
were communicating with to receive their own
free email account.

So how can you put a viral marketing campaign
together for your own business – and more
importantly, do you even want to?

Let me answer that second question first,
okay? YES! You definitely want to take the
time to brainstorm your own viral marketing
campaign – even if you don’t someday want to
be as big as hotmail, yahoo or Gmail.

Why? Because according to a recent survey
done by Forrester Research, people are almost
65% more likely to trust a review posted by a
peer – or even a complete stranger – than
they are to trust the marketing or sales
information put out by the company.

Don’t believe me? Check out Amazon.com and
I-tunes. Why is this the case? Because as
consumers we tend to think that the average
“Joe Blow” has less of a personal agenda when
posting his review about the latest “Dixie
Chicks” album and so we give it more weight.

And, by the way, this is a normal reaction –
it’s one that’s kind of hard-wired into all
of us. People have always shared the things
they like – or hate – with their friends and
family members. Back in the 50’s and 60’s,
our grandparents used to talk to their
neighbors over the “back fence,” call each
other on the phone or tell their friends
during lunch. The difference is, these days
we use the Internet and cell phones.

What’s interesting though, is that with the
popularity of the Internet, our trust – and
believe in “social proof” – has become even
stronger.

By creating your own viral marketing
campaign, you’ll be doing more than getting
the word out about your new affiliate
product. You’ll be gathering social proof –
and that will help your sales to go through
the roof.

So how do you set up your own viral marketing
campaign? The first thing to do is to get
back to the basics.

Here’s the real “secret” to making a lot of
money with affiliate products. Have the
right product, with the right message to the
right people in the right time.

So start with your affiliate product. Make
sure that there’s a hungry audience for
whatever you’re selling.

Then make sure that you’re sending out the
right message – an in the right way. If
you’re marketing a product to teens, you’ll
want to make sure that it’s something they
want – and you’ll have to reach them where
they’re hanging out. That might be on
MySpace, twitter or even Friendster.

What’s the right message? Maybe it’s a
special report. But it could just as easily
be a video. Or an audio mp3 file. Match
your message to your audience. And finally,
make sure that you’re getting your message
out at the right time – when your audience is
ready to buy it.

Make your viral marketing campaign stand out
from the crowd – because that’s how it’s
going to get passed around and become viral.
By understanding the basics – who your
audience is, what they want, how they want to
get it and when they want it – all you have
to do next is to create something that your
audience loves – or hates – or finds
interesting enough – to pass around to their
friends. And because your product comes with
an implied endorsement – social proof – those
people will pass it around to other people –
and the buzz goes on…and on…and on…and you’ll
start hearing the “ka-ching!” of your cash
register going off a lot more often…

It’s called the Generic App Generator, and
it allows you to create your OWN desktop
software titles with just a few clicks,
even if you know nothing about coding!

Hi Friend,

Jeff Davis here with a new product review.

By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

Hi Friend,

Jeff Davis here, and I’m really just taking a break…

I just got done bringing all my blogs up to code…

It wasn’t too bad, except for this blog…

Something went wrong with the upgrade, and it
threw a nasty .php error.

So, I pulled the files off the server, and there was
nothing wrong with the file, I checked it against
new and old installs, couldn’t figure it out…

So, I logged into the cpanel, and went to fantastico,
and it wanted to update, but to 2.8.6, so I
closed my eyes and pressed the button…

Good news, that rolled the blog back, and it’s
back up and running…I just got lucky…

Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky, than good, lol…

Slowly, i’m gathering momentum, and I’m gonna
keep testing, and tweaking my affiliate marketing
techniques…I had a pretty good year, and I’m always
looking for new ways to make money online…

I just found a new program that is
less than $5 to try it out…

and I feel refreshed now that I took a break,

can bring you more great resources, in 2010!

All the best!
