You know my thoughts on making things go viral. I think going viral is fantastic but its really not up to you, it’s up to the audience to decide whether they will make it go viral. In essence the concept of viral marketing is a load of rubbish. It’s like me saying I’m in the field of surf waves creation. Doesn’t really work does it?  What I do believe in however, is the ability to facilitate the rapid spreading of great material.

I stumbled across this site a little while ago which I thought I would share with you. It’s called BubblePly.com. It’s a cool free service that allows you to put text and comments on any online video as well as an embedded link. The potential for Internet Marketers and the Video Marketing industry is huge.

So here is the scenario, you grab a video from Youtube, stick a link in it, post it on your blog and submit it to Digg, Reddit or Twitter and if people like the video then they will (hopefully) pass it on or bump it up the social network ratings order. The great thing about this is that this video could have a link to any site you wish as well as a related affiliate product.

Below is an example I just created:

Obviously I’m just having a bit of a laugh but you can see the potential. Say your promoting an Internet marketing technique and you post a “how to” on Youtube. You can then grab the video, work it through BubblePly, then distribute the video to social networks, friends, email lists etc with a link (could be an affiliate link) to your product embedded in it. If these people pass it on and it becomes popular then more and more people will be watching this video containing your own embedded text link ad. It takes very little effort to create and distribute, one thing that fits very well with my minimal input – maximum output principles.

Just a note, I’m not affiliated with BubblePly or anything like that, its a free service that I think is useful so I recommend you check it out. www.bubbleply.com
