A Clever Viral Marketing Technique: “Fresh Balls”

admin — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:15:15 +0000

How would you like people to email your website link to everybody they know — for your site to go viral, as they say.

Think about it: Why do people forward links, pictures, videos, to their friends? How can you create a website or a marketing campaign that would lead people to hit the forward button? Jokes and sex are obvious examples. Check out the internet store link below. This link, with a clever video, has been popping up in inboxes:

Now, keep in mind: this is only one part of a campaign. You got them to your site. Then you have to convert them and convince then to buy. Does this sales pitch do it? It’s funny, it’s clever, it’s well produced, but will they buy it? We’re just asking. One downside to using humor, is that people don’t take your product seriously; you may not develop the trust necessary. Ultimately, there has to be a market for your product and those consumers have to be convinced — and trust — that your product is what they need (beer seems to be an exception). It’s one thing to get viral buzz; it’s another to convert.

A quick check of Alexa reports that “time on site (in minutes) peaked on Dec 21 at about four minutes. That doesn’t give much time to go through a shopping cart. Now “time on site” is down to two and a half minutes, which is roughly the length of the video.

We’re Just Asking: What is the Best Way to Grab 10,000 Visitors/Day

admin — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:16:18 +0000

Let’s say your goal is to get 10,000 unique visitors to your website every day. Is it best to have one website, and concentrate all your efforts on that one website to get those 10,000 visitors? Or is it better to have two websites, with the goal of 5,000 visitors each; is that less work overall than 10,000 for one site?… OR how about having five websites? Surely grabbing 2,000 visitors per site is almost automatic — that would give you your 10,000 total. OORR what if you had five websites that each did just 3,000 — suddenly you’ve got 15,000 instead of 10,000… Welcome to our new segment, WE’RE JUST ASKING. Sometimes it’s important to simply ask the question… You may assume one way is the most profitable…but is it?
