The Free Traffic Blog

When people hear about getting viral marketing for their websites, they usually get a bit confused.  This confusion comes because you can’t control if you site goes viral or not.  This being said, you must understand that there is no step-by-step formula for getting viral traffic to your site.  The “steps” for free viral marketing are more conceptual than anything else. 

Now that you understand that the “tips” for free viral marketing are conceptual, I can share these concepts with you.  The more you understand these concepts, the more free viral traffic you will receive.  Here they are:

Concept #1:  Content is king.  Think about the last time you shared a website, book, or movie with someone.  Why did you share it with them?  It was likely because you were very impressed with the content.  If you want free viral marketing for your site, then the free content you provide needs to be so exceptional that people will want to share it with others.

Concept #2:  People love free stuff.  The more quality “free stuff” that you can give away on your site, then the more people will share your site with others.  Let me prove this to you:  If on one of my sites I was giving away free cars in exchange for a name and mailing address, then how fast would you tell your friends and family about my site?  I know that if anyone had a site like this that was truly giving away free cars, then I would immediately tell everyone I knew to make sure they got their free cars as well.  I use this example just to show you that the more things you give away free, the more people will tell others about your site.  You don’t need to give away tangibles, this can be free eBooks, mini courses, coupons, etc. 

Concept #3:  If they can profit from it, then they will share your website even more.  You understand this concept perfectly if you have any type of affiliate program for your site.  If people can make money by sharing your site, and if they are convinced that it will be worth their time, then they will share. 

These are the basic three concepts behind getting free viral marketing for your website.  As you can see, there are no step-by-step instructions.  It’s through these concepts that the free traffic will come.  Study these concepts and test them out on your own site, and you will likely start to generate that free viral traffic to your site.
