Editor's Notes

  1. Common missconception
  2. -seeding is when you take your content and plant in the wild for users to find, consume and share and when your audience reciprocates -A mechanism could be one of two things -something to facilitate easy sharing of your content (example = a fb like button) -something that would cause you to be enticed to share (example = affiliate marketing b/c they have a reason to share to make money)
  3. -mention content will not be talked about and the seeding and mechanisms are important and what I am talking about.
  4. -Award users for Forwarding to a friend
  5. Add slide before this with pre example
  6. Add slide before this with pre example
  7. trying to artificially recreate a virus
  8. “most effective way to go viral in a big way is to do it in many small ways – a “big seed” strategy where you push your content out to a lot of different places to raise your chances of several unrelated people passing it on.” Duncan Watts – Yahoo Labs Principal Research Scientist
  9. Email, website, application, graphic, software download. Short and simple applies better no where else. (Hotmail – “Get your private, free email at http://hotmail.com” Mint.com does this well when it sends an email out reminding users to login since its been a long time. Apply low barrier to entry’s early on in the funnel before asking to share, that way the user feels more obligated since they already took an action.
