How John Chow and I Made the RSS Mass Feed List
Viral marketing has been around forever, way before the advent of the dub dub dub, and entrenched on the interwebs since Hotmail was introduced as a free web-based email service using the ploy, along with Yahoo still using this technique (check you email from your Yahoo buddies). Viral marketing is just another name for “word-of-mouth, and more recently has play being re-dubbed as “buzz”.Dr. Ralph Wilson, the bees knees of Internet Marketing and owner of wilsonweb.com describes viral marketing as having six central attributes paraphrased here as: Something Free, Easily Transferable, Scalable, Motivates Action, Uses Common Networks, and Employing Other’s Resources…all perfectly suited and accessible to social networking as it has developed and as we know it today.This brings us to the blogosphere, IM, and traffic building. A blog without traffic is like the proverbial tree falling in the woods without an audience. Nobody will hear about it, let alone read about it. If you are new to Intenet Marketing, and in particular the lonely world of blogging, then you may know how frustrating this can be.Similar to real estate marketing with “Location, Location, Location”, online marketing has three important components. “Traffic, Traffic, and Traffic”.Now, bloggers, including the famous and the up-and-coming bloggers, keep experimenting and redefining viral marketing and the art of gaming SEO and the ranking services like Alexa and Technorati. Yes, it still is kind of like the Wild West when it comes to online marketing, but these simple exercises are viral and will bring the traffic.Most recently the popular blog, Dosh Dosh Dot Com, was smacked down by many readers for introducing the Technorati Test. This brings us to new levels of viral experimenting at the invention of Jimi Morrison at www.jimimorrisonshead.com with the “RSS Feed Subscriber Campaign”.No sense reading all the details here, since you will have to visit a participating website to copy and implement the simple instructions. It does require a cut and paste post to your blog that should take you all of 5-10 minute at the most to execute. Viral marketing will always be with us no matter the message or medium. Make sure you take advantage and place it in your marketing arsenal. I made the RSS Mass Feed List from networking with Jimi Morrison from almost the first week that I started the social network scene. That’s called taking action.If you don’t know who John Chow is and how he made the list, you need to do a search on his name with any major search engine right now.
