Building up business with viral purple cows?

7 replies
Sometimes, it's the little things you do.

Today, I read

https://www.clickz.com/2016/04/12/se...ith-whats-safe

and in it, Seth Godin discusses how nobody ever makes headlines by playing it safe.

He wrote about how Henry Ford increased minimum wage to $5 instead of the standard $2.32 or so.....

But that increase led to *his workers* now being able to afford *his* products.

In hindsight, brilliant!

Zoom up to making this relevant you...

What can you do in business that will either bring you in 'way more money, save more time, or make you go viral?

Me, I'm always tweaking with product templates and making things work faster.

But can YOU do that works best for you?

Lots of folks like the idea of viralness....

    I visited the sites and I definitely learned something.

    It's amazing how a single post can reach a million number of people in just a short span of time.

    You really have to make your post viral if you want to generate income.

    The problem that I see in going viral in my niche is the fact that internet marketers do not like to share other people's content unless they are benefiting from doing so by getting shares in return or getting paid for it.

    I am sure going viral in other niches which are not thinking about making money is much easier because people love to share things that they think are interesting.

    Getting lots of views is one thing....
    Getting TARGETED views is another
    Depending on your objective, massive views through viral content may not be the way to go
    For branding, it CAN work
    For conversion, it might be problematic to say the least

    The TS is right. You need to find a way to make it WORK for you. Fire hydrant traffic is not always the answer.

    The guy who was unable to apply his own teachings on Squidoo?
    I do admit that he is a great writer.

    "Surfer" traffic isn't worth a whole lot.
