What is Viral Marketing ?

As I know viral marketing is marketing your product with follow the trend or latest topic.

Example, nowadays Avengers End Game is popular these days. It's time to use this topic to relate to your product and may create a banner that might be viral by people. Main point is INTERESTING and FUNNY but dun make your product focus lost.

Mostly can try upload your picture on Reddit/Imgur to viral your content/banner that relate to your product by free.

My conclusion is viral marketing equals to free marketing and powerful marketing. Totally free. :)
 
In simple words getting your product, service or news popular for no good reason by using social media or news sites. It's like chain reaction.

E.g Shipyourenemiesglitter.com

I am no expert in viral marketing.
 
Viral comes from Virus.

Virus is an organism that enters your body and then multiples by itself.

In terms of marketing, it means you perform one key action, like publishing a piece of content and then the rest happens by itself. It gets shared across the web without your need to advertise it actively.

Like a virus.

Back in the day it was called word of mouth.

These days technology allows us to go way beyond that.
 
Viral marketing is marketing that happens by itself.

Your job is to provide the visibility, like using Facebook ads, and if your post is good enough (funny, scary) the majority of your audience will share, like, comment, and basically make it 'goes viral'.

From there, you just watch the stats and laugh :)

Edit: You have a scripts that force your website to go viral.

Example would be: Unlock something to get free something.
When user unlock (like or share your fb page ex) script let the user to access the website.
You don't have to provide nothing for free after unlocking, you just have to promise and make your audience to unlock.
 
I have a different definition of VIRAL MARKETING

Basically, I would look for content on social media that is DIRECTLY or SOMEWHAT related

Next, I look at its social signals - does it get shared a lot? Does it have lots of comments? etc etc

I REVERSE ENGINEER 'viral' content and come up with my own version that PLUGS into my SALES funnel

Then I reshare my REVERSE ENGINEERED content on the platforms I found the original and find other places to share this content

The key? PIGGYBACK on the appeal of tried and proven 'viral' content instead of wishing and hoping stuff you create will 'go viral'... it rarely does.
 
Viral content usually has a well-designed viral strategy behind it, it is, in part, also due to luck, but creativity and preparation are also extremely important… for this reason, to get to know this world a little better, I would like to tell you today what the definition of this concept actually is, how a viral campaign works, the advantages or viral marketing and show you our favorite examples.
 
A Marketing method in which consumers are encouraged to share information about a company's goods or services via the Internet.
It is able to generate interest and the potential sale of a brand or product through messages that spread like a virus, in other words, quickly, and from person to person.
 
Viral marketing involves creating emails ,videos,podcasts,photos or Slideshows.which you then share among your friends, and add to social media sharing sites such as Youtube and facebook
 
You already got your answer from previous posters.

In short:

What Is Viral Marketing?

“Viral marketing is an approach designed to get others to share your product for you.

In other words, traditional marketing is where you blast your marketing messages to a group (like with TV commercials).

But viral marketing is where you encourage the “word of mouth” spread of your product or service.

That’s nice in theory. But in the real world most products don’t have a realistic chance of going viral.

And if you’re in that spot, you need to create a piece of viral content instead.

  • In this new world of content saturation and falling social shares, the big winners are sites that have built a strong reputation for original, authoritative content.
  • The majority of content gets zero backlinks but authoritative research and reference content continues to gain links. In particular, authoritative evergreen content consistently gains shares and links over time.

Can anyone knows about viral marketing please give your feedback.
Probably the best viral marketing I've seen is Apples 1000$ monitor stand. Its totally a low volume product that most people will not buy... but the controversy it caused, put Apple in every big tech Youtubers "check this out" list. Then it became a meme, and went viral.

Thats one of the best viral marketing ideas (whether it was intentional or not) that I've seen all year.
