Im sure you have heard about Viral Marketing, but I bet you havent considered how powerful some of those same strategies can be when you change it from getting others to advertise for you to getting others to GROW your website. Instead of trying to think about how to have your sites be Viral think about how you can have visitors GROW your website! If they can put in their own input and actually have some kind of result or a page of their own they will pass it along. Even if they dont pass it along, tell a friend, or do anything else they have added content to your website. Thats something we all like to have right? To really get a concept like this going you should pick a topic that people are fanatical about. I dont mean religion, politics, or any other potentially dangerous topic. I mean Sports, Hobbies, People, etc For my example of what you can do to get fanatics being fanatical on your site is http://www.golfwarz.com . This site isnt horribly busy because its never been marketed. Its an example of a product called SEOclickbank by Scriptmonthly that has been slightly modified (just changed a few form fields). It will let golfers complain about their clubs. Something that I am sure golfers do privately. It probably will never catch on with the older golfing community but for the younger golfers it will be fun. Its not a great example because most golfers really dont want to spend time talking about how bad they are. They want to get better, not brag about their shortcomings. If you can get the younger crowd posting in there a couple posts in a golfing related forum would probably get you some action the content they add will be search engine fodder. Juice that site up with a golfing tips newsletter, and some golf related affiliate products and you have a long term GROWING income stream. The best part is its hands free and you dont have to add the content yourself. This same concept can be modified to thousands of topics. You could make a site to let people talk about their bosses, their cats, anything. Ive given you a lot of ideas today. I hope you spend some time growing your network of websites and you start considering some of the virtual growth strategies Ive mentioned here. Once you get a virtual growth site off the ground like this you cant go wrong. |
