If you're new to internet marketing you may not know that you are able to build your subscriber base entirely by writing ebooks, articles and reports about your particular niche and submitting them to the different e-zine and article directories you can find online. Rather simply put this sort of internet marketing influence should certainly be the kickoff to any viral marketing campaign using viral article and report writing as your main technique and, when done by the book it will be exceedingly lucrative for you.

To put it pure and simple you'll be demonstrating your merit and exhibiting your expertise on your chosen niche whatever it may be, through viral articles. You should also consider writing viral reports as well as viral ebooks to expand your internet marketing empire, if you give it a little thought it would be the next natural step in a viral marketing campaign.

If you are new to internet marketing, you are also most likely wondering just what is a "Viral Article".

The quick & easy answer: A viral article is simply an article that is passed from one reader to the next; making the content of that article spread across any niche field you have written about just like a virus.

Okay, so how would a viral article help build a subscriber base?

The quick answer: To build a subscriber base virally you must write an article that is of exceptional value or at least great value to the reader enough so that they are willing to pass the information on to friends and colleges. Secondly you must submit the articles to e-zine, article directories and anyplace else that will allow you to post your article.

The resource box you attach to your articles, reports or ebooks. In the resource box (a.k.a. bio box), you should include your name, title if you have one, a little detail about yourself and your web site address. I would ardently suggest that your resource box web address links to your mailing list's landing page or another page where you will be able to get your guest name and email address. Applying this method you are able to build your subscriber base at no out of pocket expense. Should your articles, reports or ebooks be declared worthwhile, ezine publishers will republish your reports and articles jointly with your resource box for their readers. The result should be a viral marketing campaign with very little effort on your part!

You'll be able to readily start by writing as well as presenting your viral articles and viral reports to trusted article submitter sites such as http://www.articlemarketer.com and commence your viral marketing campaign today. To build any subscriber base virally, you should start by offering a free giveaway product of some sort that has a viral characteristic to it and is related to your niche. It could be for example, only be downloaded if the person downloading it has to recommend it to one or more friends to get the download. Take a minute to just visualize the viral impact of a successful campaign like that! Your internet business and revenue could start flourishing for the foreseeable future in a rapidly growing fashion.

To build a subscriber base virally, you must offer something of exceptional to great value. Your subscribers must be willing to tell their friends, family and colleagues about what you are doing if your subscriber base is going to be genuinely viral. Therefore it's crucial to provide your visitors with the very best information, service or product you are able to offer.

Just what is the very best information, service or product for your site?

The truth is I don't know, because it's different for every niche, and different people consider the importance and value of information, services and products differently. Nobody can tell you what is the absolute best information, service or product for any website, it just can't be done. However using trial and error you'll be able to determine what type of information, service or product is pulling in the most visitors. Another way is to simply ask your visitors what type of information they'd like to see on your site through a simple questionnaire or site evaluation form and provide that information or whatever your visitors are asking for.

Once you create your free ebook, article, report or software and remembering it must have an opt in form for your subscriber base list to work virally, after that give it away like mad. Once other people start to give it away the viral effect has started, the people who download it will become members of your list when they read it, as will everyone else who can see the value in your giveaway offers. A free ebook, article or report is relatively easy to create, and can become the backbone of a strong viral marketing campaign. Using software as a viral campaign method is a little trickier unless you are a software programmer. Check the internet for software writers/programmers willing to create simple but very useful software products for your niche, they are out there you just have to look a little.

To be truly viral will demand some actual hard work on your part, however if you just add in viral components to absolutely everything you do, you will be able to develop an unstoppable viral marketing machine. Remember to keep viral marketing in the forefront of your entire internet marketing endeavors.
