19 Nov 08 Viral Marketing and Online Advertising

Viral marketing

Many people would have seen the keywords “viral marketing” around the internet. To most of you, this may not be so new, but techniques are pretty amazing. I will just start from the part “what is viral marketing?”.  It’s marketing for advertising like the way virus does. That would be my simplest explanation. In order to know what the IT world’s current buzz is all about, you have to keep an eye on the current developments and technologies. Consequently, you need to create a virus for your marketing plan so that you can sell successfully.  Fundamentally “Viral Marketing” and “viral advertising” particularly online, is a way marketers can take advantage of pre-existing social networks to get a message out there using self-replicating viral processes, which are comparable to the way a physical virus or computer virus would spread (Mike Filsaime 2007).

How Viral Marketing Works

The Techniques

You have to ask yourself what makes you so special or what makes you unique from the crowd. That is an important question. Many people turn to creative ideas or new innovations in the first place, I do not mean that’s typical but that’s old. There are more than that you can actually do. Of course, innovations bring a lot of attention whereas there are many innovations every month, you might as well get drown into old ones after a while. Or use Apple’s iPod method; just create a buzz with variable sizes and designs where the basic functions are basically the same since its first product. Another technique is to create a controversial situation to get an attention. It is however likely to have both positive or negative effects, for example, whether the Hitler is still alive or not. That kind of blog or article might intrigue majority of people. In addition, another fantastic viral marketing we have to accept today is, funny comedy video shared online. Funny stuff is fast spreading type via internet. Last month, Obama vs McCain’s dance showdown on the internet has been so famous because of election period. Let me remind you not to discount the effect of funny stuff because they are unbelievably easy to be contagious. Another controversial technique is to provide emotions, some people use emotion and heart-warming techniques as their viral marketing. You may probably have seen somewhere on the website or a web link or an email that explains how poor the kid is, contribute to feed the children or how dangerous drunk driving is. However, this one would mostly become scam or NGOs asking for donations. On the other hand, E-cards and celebrities speaking for good cause are precisely the kind of viral marketing that provides emotions. Last but not least, create a curiosity by building anticipations to your audience is one of the most effective methods I have ever experienced. For example, Sony Play Station IV will be launched by this or that date. That will create a serious curiosity to Play Station players around the world. It actually did stir the audience in previous releases as well. Or Harry Potter series, you let audience to anticipate and expect what is going to happen next about 4 years prior to JK Rowling’s final release.

Did it work? 

Of course it did. Back in mid 90s, hotmail and yahoo put their sponsored link on every bottom of the sent mail. “get your free-email at yahoo.com”. Just after a couple of years, they are the two biggest web-based email providers for next 10 years. The built-in signature spread like a virus every time a recipient reads an email sent from Yahoo! and Hotmail. Today, more of less, everyone has Yahoo!, Hotmail or Gmail nowadays.

My Opinion

Well, I use it indirectly and sometimes directly, it is not a one time hit, once you start it, then you have to keep it going. For websites and blogs, you constantly need to have regular readers and audience, so that you may monetize your traffic. But that’s not just that, sharing valuable information is one of my main objectives as I would try to monetize in other sites. Tell a friend script or social bookmarking or forum signature posts are part of the viral marketing as well. So, if you have perfect examples of the techniques I have mentioned above. Then, go for it. It could never go wrong because viral marketing is one of the most effective methods available on online marketing.

24 Oct 08 Earn Money – Bidvertiser FREE to join, Make Money to publish ads and referrals

I have finally decided to join Bidvertiser, An online advertising program for both advertisers and publishers. Because I think it is a good deal, besides, it’s compliance with Google Adsense, so there is nothing to lose, but more to gain. All you need is not to display similar ADs as Goole ADsense.

Some people argue that Bidvertiser do not have high paying keywords and etc. I find that funny because most of the keywords and niche you are in, perhaps you might find it very cheap then realising your niche has too many contents spamming around already. However, all those top earner sites have bidvertiser ads display even though they would say, their pay is low. To be honest, I have no idea.

For example, It is very painful to have ads on my site, because nowadays everyone is using making money online as a key-phrase and half the time, most sites will ask you to sign up, force and tell you to buy or resell. Therefore, ads around money making online become cheap keywords and perhaps used by more publishers than more advertisers. You only need to find the real deal out of it. As for myself, I found some useful sites by using “making money online” key-phrase, but most of them are useless to me  too.

Ok, here are the reasons why I choose bidvertiser.

1. FREE to join
2. Fast Paid Amount ($10 for paypal, $50 for check)
3. Money can be used as advertiser, referrer or publisher)Can be advertiser, referrer and/or publisher at the same time.
4. Very easy to choose, setup and configure.
5. Comprehensive tools and help.
6. Great customer relationship
7. Variety types of Ads
8. PPC (pay-per-click based, meaning, you get paid every time it gets clicked legitimately, no need to wait for completion of sales you refer or person you refer, one click creates sudden earning)
9. Great control of click fraud.
10. All of the above knowledge I have done in just a couple of hours. Exactly, two hours and all set and done for me. Very easy to setup and great pay.

Even in my category which has more publisher than advertisers, I can see there are some clicks worth over $7 per click, which is pretty impressive, if you have solid traffic and fantastic content, I am sure you will get that kind of click more often. So, you can either become Advertiser, Publisher, and Referrer at the same time. Become one or all of them, and start making money.

As a advertiser, you can have two types, 

• Display your ads on your website or blog &
• Display your eBay auctions. 

 
Well, thank you for reading, any comments and suggestions are always welcome.

21 Oct 08 Nothing is completely FREE

I have seen many people on the forums or groups that always asking for advice about “How to make money online?”, such as I want to make $50 a day or $100 a day, etc etc. That is the most unreasonable thing to ask because nothing is entirely FREE if you want to make money online.

Yes, you can start from almost nothing to very little to earn money online. But the most important thing is, you have to invest on your time, money (website, Internet connection costs) and passion. If you are not passionate enough to do what you do, you will never make money. There are many websites about making money online, yet they make little or none because there is no enough determination and passion. Period. So, you can get enough information on this site. But you have to spend many hours of your time. Remember, if you have no traffic to your website, that means, you have no income. So, decide before you choose this path. Because usually many people gave up and never even reached the minimum payout level after all.

So, work hard, update regularly and be passionate of what you do. Or else, I would suggest not to bother. Then, it will save a lot of troubles and time in the future.
