Newsletter – A newsletter is an important part of marketing because it keeps your visitors and consumers aware of any new promotions or events done by your company.  Newsletter can be forwarded to friends and if you keep your old newsletter on your website, you also increase the size of your website which turns into an SEO bonus.

First thing is to make a catchy and attractive newsletter.  Afterwards, you just need to get yourself a mailing list which is done by having an email capture box on your website.

Viral Videos – A viral video is basically a video clip that gains widespread popularity through the process of internet sharing, typically through emails, instant messaging, blogs and other media sharing sites.  Most companies think that it is expensive to make a viral video.

Wrong…  They are tens of thousand of amateur video makers on the internet.  Most of these videos never make any money but would love to find someone to help them make money for those videos.

Find these video makers by going to your favorite video sharing website and find some videos that could relate to your website and product.  Once found, contact the maker of these videos and make a deal with them to somehow include your company website in the next video.

Payment can simply be in the form of a CPA deal for every account, inquiry or sale they bring to your website.
