With so much competition and rivalry on the net, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized if you are to succeed.

With that in mind, here are 6 ideas to help you start your viral marketing campaign:

1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral ebook.

Allow people to rebrand the book with their affiliate links and then let them give away your ebook to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet.

2. Set up a forum or other bulletin board.

If you have are technically gifted, you really have a great skill at your fingertips. Simply offer to set-up forums for other people or allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website.

As payment for your work, just request to include your banner ad at the top of the forum or bulletin board. Not only will you get backlinks to your site, you will also generate free traffic.

3. Do you have a knack for web design?

Create some templates, fonts or graphics and upload them to your site. Then allow people to give these away. Just include your ad on them or require people to link directly to your web site in return.

Make sure that you include a link back to your site in the copyright notice and require them to keep your copyright notice in tact.

4. Write a short 5-8 page report.

Include a page in the report promoting your newsletter or website and capture the email details to build you own list. Then allow people to give away the report to their visitors or readers.

You could even allow them to include an small ad in the resource section of the report as an incentive for them to give away the report.

5. Write articles that pertain to your product or service.

Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their newsletter, magazine or ebooks. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.

6. Create a free product/membership site.

With the number of scripts available nowadays, it’s very easy to create your own free membership site. All you need to do is find some PLR or resell products that you are able to offer in your membership to entice people to join.

Then create a killer One-Time-Offer and provide an affiliate program so others can begin promoting your site to earn commissions. You’d be surprise how effective this method is in building your list and generating profits.
