Viral Marketing is the most responsive marketing on the planet.
Think about it…
Most advertising is all about you the advertiser 'tooting your own horn'
• People don't care.
• They tune you out.
• They might even assume you're lying.
You're just another stranger trying to peddle your stuff along with everyone else.
Traditional advertising is like yelling in a stadium full of 50,000 screaming people with no one listening. No one can hear you over the roar of the crowd.
No one cares.
Now imagine if you were in this same roaring stadium, and you showed a handful of people something really cool like a video.
• Something that connected with them.
• Maybe something that entertained them.
• Made them laugh or even offended them.
These people then started sharing your video with the people sitting around them. Those folks then share it with the people around them too. And pretty soon it's like a wave, with your content rippling through the whole stadium…
That's when you realize the crowd isn't just randomly roaring anymore. Now they're positively buzzing about YOUR content.
• They can't stop talking about it.
• They're sharing it like crazy.
• And they're clicking through to your links.
That's what a good viral campaign is like.

Powerful Pre-Built Lead Capture Pages!
Having a properly designed lead capture page can mean the difference between a big response rate and ZERO sign ups at all. After spending so much time and effort on lead generation… and then actually marketing your message to your prospects… it's critical to drive them to a page that will produce the greatest possible conversion rate.
The components of an effective lead capture page are fairly basic: a strong headline, a compelling video, brief but motivating body copy (text), and a form to capture their information. The whole idea is to provide prospects with just enough information for them to sign up… but nothing more! The entire goal is capturing their data so you can call them up and/or continue marketing to them through future emails, etc. If you spill too much information, then they have no motivation to fill out the form… and you lose them forever.
Lead Capture pages are pre-built based on proven results. However, they are fully customizable so you can configure the content optimally for your particular marketing campaign.
