Now, if you look at internet marketing and apply this concept of a virus to it, it is just what you want. You want growth in marketing, otherwise you don't make any money. If you were to give away an ebook to three friends, and they each give it away to three friends, and so on, you can see how this virus is a very good thing! You soon will have thousands of people exposed to your ebook simply by giving it to only three people! Within this ebook, you have products and services that you recommend and are an affiliate marketer for. Include your affiliate links, and you will see tremendous growth and an instant viral downline!

Of course, like most things, viral marketing does have drawbacks. There are people out there who steal affiliate codes and change them to take your commission from you. The good thing is, there are remedies for these problems. There is a cloaking software and page re-directs, and it works like forwarding. Cloaking does what it sounds like it does, it hides the 3"long affiliate links that companies have you use, and hides the affiliate code from robbers. You don't need to worry though, because the advantages of viral marketing outweigh the drawbacks.

You want to be sure to let other people spread the ebook around. You can use an autoresponder to deliver it automatically. Don't sell your ebook because it will limit how many people want it. Remember, the more that get it, the more clicks to affiliates you will get, and the more money you will make! You will create an instant viral downline!

Don't worry if you don't have an ebook or web site content. You can find base articles and just re-write them to work as an original. This is a great time saver when starting out.

So, you can see that viral marketing is a very good thing. You can't be afraid to jump out there and become an author or even a webmaster. Heck, why not become both? Ebooks and information are extremely hot products. When marketed virally, it spreads and grows larger, just like your commission!
