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, ebooks, brandable software, images, or even text messages. Source.

Got that? Excellent! It’s an easy to learn and VERY effective technique, that should be a part of every online marketers arsenal (offline marketing as well).

Replicating your promotions in this manner will bring you RSS subscriptions, newsletter sign-ups and sales for weeks, months and even years down the road!

The following is 8 effective and (somewhat) simple ideas with which to achieve this. There are many many more of course, which we will surely get to over time.

Hello all, it’s been about a week since my last post where I discussed merging blogs.

At the tail end of that post, I hinted to the fact that I would have to spend a little time playing catch-up from my sudden 2month disappearance.

Well here we are. I’ve been home a little over 2 weeks and madly catching up. I think I’ve done well so far with lots of internal touch-ups complete (you may or may not notice those), and three new pages I needed to do!

I’m still not “done” (are we ever?) but going along reasonably smoothly.

Now it’s those three new pages I would like to point your attention too…

1. Wanna buy a review? I charge a reasonable wage (with a perk for subscribers) and always work my butt off on each one to make sure it’s done well. Check out the Review Policy.

Well here it is officially. After much debate and personal struggle (about a years worth), this is my official merging of Internet & Offline marketing together on one blog…

Lord help us all.

I suppose the main bug up my bum about this was the ability to combine both and not make it totally confusing, category wise especially.

For now I will just have a pronounced “Offline Marketing” category, with sub-categories as it grows.

I may even go so far as to put ALL web marketing categories as sub-categories under Web Marketing Tips, to avoid what could be real confusion.

I can think of two right off the bat. If you’re looking for offline advertising tips, you don’t want to go to the wrong one and get all flustered.

The same goes for social networking. After all, offline networking is social too right? Yep, that could get ugly…

Hello Everyone,

This is something I thought I had all worked out until very recently.

Now, I won’t go into the entire in’s and out’s of how this has come to pass as that would sentence you to about a years worth of my brain activity.

YIKES!

Due to recent events I’ve had to make some choices and changes, both personally, and in business. It’s that whole work smarter not harder schtick…..18hr days at the laptop ain’t gonna do it anymore.

A brief background and I’ll summarize to the best of my ability; strap in, this could get bumpy…..

My “niche” if you will is coaching (advising, mentoring, whatever; I’m not a fan of labels) marketers in the Direct Sales/Network Marketing industries.

(I’ve been in direct sales/customer service in one form or another my entire adult life, and even before.)
