Swine Flu Viral With Blogging
I’m sure you’ve heard the term “viral marketing” being bandied all over the Internet a few times by now. But what does it really mean? At its core, viral marketing is simply another way for saying “publicity”.
In the real world, a company or an individual can create publicity by dispensing information to few but influential media outfits.
Achieving publicity online however – making something go viral – is a lot more complex because what is news-worthy is decided by an unpredictable and fickle mass of people.
There is no sure-fire formula on how to make something go viral. However, you can start by creating awesome content on your blog. Post about unique people and objects.
Use current events to your advantage and if possible, stay ahead of the news. Publishing something big that’s not even off the press yet will guarantee your post viral status.
Once you have that great post, make sure that you let people know about it.
Spread the link on all major social networking sites:
- Digg,
- Stumbleupon
- … and some more
Also know in advance who the influential bloggers in your niche are; you will want to tell them about your post and invite them to write about it as well.
When a person starts telling five people about your content, and then the five people each tell five more people they know and so on, you will know that you’ve been successful. It spreads like swine flue… Good luck!
