Why is it that the flu season kicks into overdrive every year around Christmas? It seems like the flu just cannot be stopped, no matter how many people get flu shots. This got me thinking. I Wonder how I could take my home business and start a virus with it!
In this article we will look at using the Internet to create a home business virus.
There is no doubt that the hot thing online today is Web 2.0 marketing. Being able to combine various Internet marketing functions with your home business and make it interactive with Web visitors is by far the best way to create a virus for your home business.
Using tools available to you today such as auto responders, blogging, e-mail marketing, RSS feeds, audio, video, and other things, are a great way to get a buzz going about your business.
If you create something that is unique, controversial, funny, or something along those lines, you can get people talking about it. In Hollywood it has been said there is no such thing as bad publicity. When it comes to spreading the word about your business there is certainly no such thing as a bad Internet marketing virus.
Have you ever been to My Space? Social directories such as this are great place to hang out and meet people with common interests. They are also a great place to get the word out about your business. Just by mentioning something to someone, and then watching them spread the word for you, you can do it in a nonthreatening way.
Adding comments to your blog post is an excellent way to get people talking about you. They can receive updates automatically from you when you allow people to subscribe to your RSS feed. They can post a comment if they like what they read. Even if they do not like what they read they can post a comment!
Making your business more interactive is one of the best ways to start a virus for it. You are probably familiar with the term viral marketing, and that is exactly what work talking about in this article.
Viral marketing really does not cost you much in terms of money. You have to get the buzz started and then fan the flames until it is going full force.
These are a few ideas on how to start a virus that is good for your home business. Anything that can get people talking about you and visiting your website or blog is good for your business.

What can we do to save the planet that will really make a difference?
We can all join Shop To Earn / Shop To Earth
How: Shop To Earth is a new company that launched their website in March 2008. In four months it has grown to over 15,000 members. (5,000 in the last three weeks).At this rate there will be roughly 200,000 to 300,000 members by September 2008. The business model of this company states that as a requirement of your membership, starting in September 2008, you and your group must spend $100 a month on green products. That's approx. $20,000,000 overall per month, that all these current members will be spending on green products.
The structure of the company is based on MLM marketing. Thousands are joining and will continue to join, and all of them must purchase green products every month. When you join, you are buying your own website shopping portal. On one side of your business are approx. 500 online retailers like Target, Walmart, Sears, Overstock etc. On the other side of your business are approx. 100 green companies.
It took $4.00 a gallon gas to convince American consumers to sell gas guzzlers and buy fuel efficient vehicles because they were forced to change. If the Shop To Earn / Shop To Earth membership grows to a million people in one year as predicted and they must buy $100 a month in green products, that's $100,000,000 a month spent on green products that would normally have been spent on products more harmful to the environment. You can help make a significant positive impact in saving the planet and make a great income while doing it.
If you are committed to a greener planet, you can play a part by owning your own website.
