Viral marketing is an ambition that most marketers share, and for good reason. There is no better way so spread your message far and wide. Not only does your message get disseminated via social networks and blogs and email and popular online message boards, but when you create a viral marketing campaign you essentially recruit your target market to do your marketing for you. Consider one of the latest viral marketing videos: Gangnam Style by Korean hip-hop artist Psy. If you saw that video, it’s probably because one of your friends or acquaintances told you about it, mailed it to you or shared it with you on a social network. How many people did you tell about the video? That’s the power of viral marketing. To make any future campaign viral, include the following ingredients which are shared by most if not all viral marketing campaigns.

Take Your Marketing Viral
The goal of every marketer is to take the given brand message and spread it far and wide. That’s the idea behind viral marketing. With viral marketing, you create a single marketing message, say a video, and then you publish that video with the hopes that it will go viral. To illustrate how this happens, let’s look at a recent viral video – South Korean rapper Psy’s ‘Gangnam Style’ – which recently became the first youTube video to hit 1 billion views. Psy’s video pokes fun at wealthy South Koreans and includes funny dance moves choreographed by Psy himself. The video soon took off, spreading via social media, mobile devices and all other channels until it hit viral and, essentially, cult status. While your viral video marketing campaigns may not reach ‘Gangnam Style’ numbers, you can create a viral marketing campaign by following these few simple rules.
How To Create And Run Your Own Viral Marketing Campaign
The dream of any marketer is to create a viral marketing campaign. When you are able to create a video, image, e-report or any other marketing piece that spreads just like an actual virus, you’ll know you’ve hit the big time. Creating a viral marketing campaign is much easier said than done. However, you can stack your deck and put the odds in your favor by keeping these viral marketing tips in mind.
