Creating Content for a Viral Marketing Campaign

A viral marketing campaign can be compared to lighting the fuse on a stick of dynamite and walking away. This particular online marketing strategy generally involves using content that is circulated  to different areas of the internet by readers who find it interesting. If the content creation produces anything readers find interesting, the work of the author is done. In a manner of speaking he or she has lit the fuse and it is now up to viewers to circulate the information online as they see fit. The key here obviously is producing interesting reading material that sparks an interest and creates a buzz with people.

Here are 3 tips to use during your content creation that will help add some 'spice' to what you compose thereby compelling others to pass it around online.

Present Something 'Fresh'

Present information that has not been repeatedly rehashed or is something you can assume the general public already knows. However if you take a worn out topic and present it with a new approach and perspective it would be much like refurbishing an old piece of furniture. In any event you want to be using content that people have not seen already or present it in a thought provoking way.

Go Against the Grain

Using content based upon a popular topic but taking an approach 'counter' to public opinion will be sure to create a stir. When using this approach however it is always best to make valid points or reasons as to why you have taken the stance you present. In this way the content is not only controversial but thought provoking as well!

Offer Your Insight

You almost can not go wrong using an approach that is based upon your own insight. This is what really makes what you write interesting and unique as well! The nice thing about using an online marketing strategy like this is it gives you the opportunity to present your personal views while also building your business. Besides people are always interested in the opinions of others. Very satisfying!

An effective viral marketing campaign can tremendously increase your online exposure with very little effort. Of course the effectiveness of this online marketing strategy depends upon creating and using content that captures the interest of readers and creates a buzz. The 3 tips or suggestions offered above can be used during the actual content creation process and target the 'approach' you use when composing any reading materials. The key is to strive for uniqueness and to always try to base your writing efforts on topics that are already of interest to people!
