watched viral video online, particularly videos that were most rated and
viewed at YouTube. These videos� main value comes from being truly odd
and wild that people just can�t help but laugh when they see them. Some

opinions to themselves, laugh with the rest and pass on the video to
others.

marketing message around. It so happens that web sites hosting these
viral videos have grown much in popularity. Thus, internet marketers are

can take advantage of the viral video craze. Just follow these simple
steps.
--- Using Viral Videos in Internet Marketing
1. Make Your Own Viral Video
You have to make your own video to post at YouTube, at your
website, at your online blog, and anywhere else in the internet.
However, you must remember that viral videos have certain factor that
makes them irresistible. This is what you should keep in mind when you
make your viral video.
For instance, you can make a commercial concerning your product.
The video clip must be short so that they�re easy to download and view.
However, the commercial has to be distinctly funny and unique so it can
go the rounds of effective viral videos. Just look around at YouTube
and find the most-viewed clips there. Those are the types of videos that
make the viral rounds. You must therefore pattern your video clip after
these videos.
Do not post a perfectly normal video commercial online if you
wish these videos to have some viral effect. Do not wax lyrical about
your product in your video. In other words, don�t make it look like a
perfectly typical infomercial. Perfectly normal video clips just don�t
spread and they�re not going to be effective in marketing your products
or increasing traffic to your site.
2. Become a member of video blogging networks
Uppermost in your list of sites to join is, of course, YouTube.
However, there are other video blogging sites in the internet. Look
around. You must also make it a point to post some of these videos in
your site and blogs.
3. Post your viral video and make some more
After you have posted your initial viral video and people seem
to have picked it up, then you should immediately follow up with more
such videos. Do not let your followers� attention wane from you, keep
them entertained and keep them supplied with more viral videos. This
way, you are going to have a loyal following of persons who will eagerly
wait for your videos.
To Your Success
