Creating a Viral Ebook

By
Education & Training with Thneed, LLC

Every time I search for great ideas on different viral marketing campaigns, I come up with the same old, create a video, comment on blogs, and create your own posts.  Well, there has to be more out there and I am going to find it.  Therefore, I am taking it upon myself to creat a tool that we can all use to become viral on the net. 

Essentially, my goal is to get input from the best real estate and marketing bloggers on the net on the best and hopefully easiest viral campaigns for you to create yourself.  I plan to work with these great Web 2.0 thinkers to create an e-book that anybody can download as a source guide to crease effective viral marketing campaigns that drive traffic and increase notoriety. 

Here's what I am asking of you.  If you have an idea, write it in your own blog and let me know where to find it by commenting on this blog  I will link to the article on this blog and capture the article in the e-book.  I may summarize parts of it on this blog as well.  After I get fifty or more of the best viral marketing ideas and articles, I will aggregate them into an e-book which will contain the original articles, links back to the original authors and credit to that author.

After the ebook is complete, I will distribute a copy to all of the contributing authors so that they may distribute the book however they see fit.  Hopefully we can all use it as a resource on Active Rain.

The way I see it, there are a lot of general viral marketing ideas out there, but not much that is specific enough to be effective.  Let's create a tool that teaches the most effective techniques that will in itself be viral.

Submit comments to this blog linking back to your viral suggestions and I'll do the rest.

Barrett,

You have a good start on viral marketing. I help realtors and other small business owners to market themselves both online and offline. Viral ebooks are great, but you have to write an ebook that will give people information they want and need or else it will just be electrons gathering dust. I will write a post that is more helpful to you when I am not so tired. It is almost midnight now.

Sounds like a great idea. I have an article on fsbo's at http://joemanausa.typepad.com/tallahasseerealestate/2007/07/selling-a-home-.html if it works out for you.

I think this is a great idea. What kind of response have you gotten so far? I am not in a position to send you an article but I would love a copy of the ebook when you get finished with it.

The article that Joe manausa sent you is very good.
