Using Practical Value To Go Viral. jacomaraisdotcom.wordpress.com /2014/10/01/using-practical-value-to-go-viral/ The life blood of any online business is traffic, but not any traffic, you need targeted traffic and you need visitors that are ready to buy, not people looking for freebies. A good way of getting these kind of visitors to your website is by using practical value. If you look carefully at a lot of the most viewed videos on Youtube you will see how well practical value can work in getting people to your website. A video explaining how to do something that people struggle with will always get a lot of views and a lot of shares. A good example of this is how an 80 year old grandfather went viral with his first and last video on Youtube, he got millions of hits, and even though his daughter put it on Youtube it was his trick that took the cyber world by storm. You might think his video was about how to create lasting world peace, but no , that was not it. He showed his daughter how to schuck corn. That is to remove the outer leaves without getting stuck with all those strands of hair on the cob. Just a simple trick on how he has been doing it for ages, she recorded it and the rest is viral history. Most e-mails we get in our inbox are nonsense, but every know and then a company sends something that is useful and we always open it, we even look forward to get a mail from them. Personally I like the Groupon e-mails I get, because I’m a retailer and they have some great deals on products that I can resell. Vanguard is also very good. They just send a short mail, but it always has some good investment advice in it. What happens a lot with these pieces of information is that we share it with friends and that is where the power of practical value lies. I might see a great deal on Groupon for bicycles, and if I have a friend with a bicycle shop I will forward it to him. That is extremely powerful. This is probably the best chance you have to get something to go viral if you are not some internet guru. You can come up with something useful to share no matter what your niche is. Write a short article with a great tip in it, or post a video on Youtube where you give a tip or something like that. People love to share helpful information, because it makes them look good as well. Even in the insanity of the modern condition people still like to help each other for the most part. Let your imagination run wild and come up with something interesting, one good piece of content with practical value is much more effective than a hundred mediocre articles. Go look on Yahoo Answers what people in your niche are struggling with , go find a solution on the internet, put your own spin onto it and give them what they are looking for. It really can be that simple to get loads of targeted traffic, if you want even more ammunition to get traffic just click here.
