Harnessing Viral Real Estate Marketing with MySpace
No, viral marketing isn’t like a computer virus, but it is a marketing tactic that spreads like a virus from person to person. Catch the drift? This is powerful marketing at its best, and Web 2.0 is the hot breeding ground.
It’s also known as buzz marketing, using its smart tactics to create a huge “buzz” among social networks online. Real estate investors especially, like agents, brokers, and the like, have harnessed the power of viral marketing. It’s time for you to be in on the secret.
Let me give you a clear example. Picture sending an email, message or bulletin about one aspect of real estate to 100 people, and 15 of those 100 send it to 100 more, and 15 of those folks send it to 100 more and so on and so forth, until you have reached hundreds of thousands.
This is the very genius behind viral marketing. It’s about getting your message out to exponentially more people than you ever could have by conventional means. It seems sneaky, but you can basically target prospects that will then be converted to your message and begin to promote it.
When you tap into the secret power of the popularity of online games, videos, graphics, and other programs on sites like YouTube, you’ll create a great network of friends and proponents of your business.
Take advantage of this viral approach when you send out any messages, bulletins, comments and blogs into the market.

Real estate marketers make glaring mistakes on MySpace all the time, and this greatly dwarfs their future successes. Do yourself a favor and don’t make your profile full of the expected product promotions and other ads that will drive your prospects away. It just looks like Spam, and is going to turn people off immediately.
You don’t want to lose your opportunity to harness the power of Web 2.0, so make sure you do it the right way from the beginning. Draw a huge friend list with a personable profile, and begin to market ever so softly to your new friends.
