Viral marketing involves relying on techniques that will help spread marketing message through a ‘viral process’ and reach a web-wide audience within a short amount of time. Spreading the viral message can be done in different ways.
- Email: The most common type, when people forward messages such as inspirational messages, jokes, funny clips and pictures that advertises a certain product or service.
- Instant Messaging: People who receive links from friends through instant messaging servers, like Skype or MSN, are more likely to check it out because of the idea of urgency of the sender.
- Web sites: Most of the articles now published online have a link that says 'Send to a friend.' This is one way to make the article reach a good number of people by just posting it in one site.
- Word of mouth: The traditional way of passing on a message to another person; and most of the time, the most reliable method too.
