Bonus Video on Web 2.0
A bonus video for members only. This is a very useful, viral feature that I employ and have employed on my own sites for many years. However, in 70% of my sites, the feature is run with a local script – which means if something breaks or changes (as browsers do), fixing the script is all on my shoulders.
Why and How To Use This Viral Web 2.0 Script
One of the methods that have spawned many success stories in driving targeted traffic to a website is through viral marketing. Viral marketing makes use of the human tendency to share something they’ve found informative, entertaining, amazing or helpful.
Viral marketing makes use of many mediums to entice this behavior online. It might be in the form of an interesting story, an addicting flash game, an amusing video or other strategies.
This ingenious form of marketing is typically low cost, but high return. Any website can benefit from viral marketing and the viral Tell A Friend option is an easy first addition to make to your website.
The basic concept of a tell a friend script is a script wherein a person may input his name, e-mail address, the recipient’s e-mail address and send the media to the intended recipient. As the recipient receives the e-mail he opens and observes the email since he has seen and recognizes the sender’s name.
The email – opened, read, viewed or played – contains a link back to the site, generating more targeted traffic to your pages and offers.
