Viral marketing with Articles

Viral marketing is not a new concept; in fact it has been around for a long, long time. However the concept became prevalent in the online world only a few years ago. Understanding the core value of the concept is simple if you look at the meanings of the two words. Viral, refers to the nature of a virus, i.e. spreading fast and wide unprompted. Marketing refers to the process of promoting and creating awareness of a product. When you put these two broad definitions together, you can see what an effective process Viral Marketing can be.

Article marketing is a subset of viral marketing. It may not be an obvious example, but if you think about it Article marketing does fall into this category. Writing a good article which is picked up by a couple of publishers can then be further picked up by others from them and so on until it spreads far and wide. As long as the reproducers stick to the conventions and mention you name as the author, you will get recognition.

The trick to getting this process going is to get the content right. Good content is essential for people to recognize you as an authority and to keep coming back for more. Two things that enhance your content are good writing skills and good headlines. If you get all these components together, your articles will automatically become “Virals” and spread all over the web. If you wish to learn more about article writing or if you want to brush up on your writing skills, look online and you will find plenty of resources that will help you do just that.
