Viral marketing methods are used today only because they work, and that is good enough reason to use viral marketing, especially viral video marketing.
There are various techniques that could be used, but it is always better to focus on one strategy at a time and work at it until you get the results you want.
If you are already into article marketing, a great strategy is to turn your articles into viral videos using software like VideoGoRound that generate instant viral videos using virtual characters.
Since you have already written the articles, it requires very little work on your part to develop a viral video using the content of that article and a software program that uses virtual characters along with that content to generate viral videos to use in your viral video marketing that will bring in traffic (and sales) for years to come.
If a single article is too big, break it up into smaller text packets of about 350 to 400 words and convert each packet into an individual viral video, all with uniquely different content but on the same subject and aesthetically pleasing.
There would be some effort required in adding viral elements. Many authors are not so subtle and put in blatant advertisements. You will get more success by adding more value to the viewer and disguising any marketing components.
The advisable and popular technique used in viral video marketing is to link the video directly to your affiliate link but making it less obvious by cloaking it with software that generate a tiny URL instead of the long URL’s that affiliate networks like clickbank generate as affiliate links.
Distribution can be done in many ways. Video accounts for 52% of all traffic online. Youtube.com alone gets 12%, but they are FAR from the only game in town. Some people fail, because they only submit to YouTube.com.
BLAST your video out using a bulk submission service such as:TrafficGeyser.com (Recommended $1 for 30 days), Tubemogul.com, VideoWildfire.com, and Heyspread.com
With viral video marketing you should always blast your video along with "long tail" keywords, not the primary keywords but the lesser used secondary keywords and, a short URL that forwards the viewer to your affiliate link.
If you really want the viral video to spread use Amazon.com’s "Mechanical Turk" (mturk.com) service and have people post your video to their own social bookmarking sites, their own Facebook pages, their own blogs, etc, for just pennies per post, to get additional back links to each video you create.
A viral video marketing campaign costs a lot less to implement than traditional advertising. It needs to be remembered that viral video marketing is just one component of your marketing repertoire.
When combined with other essential business building strategies it can help to generate traffic to your web site, build a huge and solid customer base, add to your sales and contribute towards your success
Video is not "a way" to make money online. It is THE way. Most people don’t realize it. Single video clips are capable of making tens of thousands of dollars, in fact, I just saw a viral video yesterday that made over $14,000 per month.
