Viral marketing is taking the Internet by storm and is a range of systems used to deliver your message to as many people as possible by inducing those who receive your message to pass it on. Its success is due to the fact that there are so many customers who are willing to pass along just about any message, as long as it contains helpful or gainful information.

Designed to increase product consciousness in today's digital world and its various social networks, it succeeds, because people like to distribute important information. People like to appear knowledgeable and they will pass along anything that compounds their influence and gives the impression of being well informed about something that others need to know.

Viral marketing comes in many forms including E-mail, Newsletters, Blogging, Chat Rooms, Tell-a-friend Scripts, Video Clips and submitting articles to Article Directories. However, one of the best weapons in a viral marketing promotion is free E-books. The most powerful word on the Internet today is FREE and E-books are cheap to produce and set up costs are minimal. People are more liable to pass on a free ebook and if it contains your affiliate links or links to your website your traffic increases and consequently you earn from this traffic. It is a relatively cheap way to get new visitors and increase the recognition of a product or service

However, not all viral marketing campaigns are successful and poor content or failing to deliver on promises will result in a negative viral affect. It is considered that people will pass on more negative comments than positive ones and no one will pass on information that doesn't enhance their reputation in the world of the Internet.

Any promotion should offer something of genuine value, vital information or offer a motivation for sharing. Appropriate or well-timed information, research, or studies that are included will encourage the recipients to share with their family and friends and, as long as it's designed for your customers, not for yourself, the chances of success are amplified. A satisfied customer will always tells other people about a product or service that has delivered on its promises whether it is by word of mouth, forums, articles or an email campaign.

Viral Marketing is so successful because it generates the interest and hunger needed to produce the demand for a product or service and is a profound means of creating traffic and leads but also acts as a pre seller of products. Easy to execute, very affordable and the quickest way to market a website, viral marketing is fast becoming the preferred option for promoting products and services.
