Well how do you harness the power for viral marketing into your blog?

Most importantly, you should have your blog connected to as many social media outlets as possible. This can be done using RSS feeds. Every time you publish new content, the social networks will post your content to these social media networks. If you have great content, it can spread like wild fire.

However there is also a way to force your content to go viral. That is through contest marketing. Contest marketing is giving away a prize in exchange for something. We have all heard of Publisher's Clearing House. In order to get entered in their contests, you have to provide them with your information.

Well how does this apply to blogs? If you have a contest on your blog, you can get people to spread the word about your content in exchange for entry into a contest. For instance, you could have a contest where someone would have to share something on Facebook or Tweet about something in order to get points for a contest. Their followers would see these and then they would start to share your contest on their social media networks and so on and so on...

Prizes for a contest can be something as simple as an inexpensive t-shirt or something as awesome as an iPad. Think of what is hot right now and what everyone wants...that will get people to enter your contest and make it go viral.

A very good way of using social media in marketing your online contest is an effective marketing method, and is required in each and every promotion campaign.

Marketing your services is what keeps you in business -- so using the best marketing tactics to support your goals only makes sense. Chances are you are familiar with the value of blogging about your business. Keep in mind though to not just focus on your own blog. Connect with other bloggers who write about related topics. Comment on their blogs, be friendly, helpful and complimentary and then ask for the opportunity to guest blog on their site. Offer them the chance to do the same on yours if they wish. Use PayPal, Google Checkout, accept credit cards and offer payment plans for big ticket items so prospective clients have no excuse to turn down your offer. You can also create a "limited time only" sale of your services. Offer an irresistible incentive if clients purchase by an upcoming date. Give your audience a compelling reason to take advantage of your offers.
