Blog Post Gone Viral!

While posting to one of my niche blogs I decided to get more for my effort. Researching and writing the post took a little time so why not make it count? Here’s how one blog post can help your online business and site promotion.

Blog Post To Article

Nothing new here. Bloggers have been doing this for years. Once you have the post written it’s a breeze to submit it to article directories so other site owners can use the content. Now your blog post just went viral!

Blog Post To E-Book

Another way to increase the value of your work is take the content and write an e-book. Yes, even more viral. It was quick and easy since the content had already been written.

Random Tips

Using a simple HTML rotator I was able to set-up random tips taken from the article to display on my site. It took about an hour to copy and paste each tip into it’s own section.

Other Ideas I Could Have Used

I could, and still may, build a blog widget so the random tips can be added to other blogs as free content – and viral site promotion of course.

It would have been a very simple task to require subscription to a newsletter in order to download the ebook.

I could have expanded my promotions even further by writing and submitting press releases.

Another idea could have been to break the content into parts for a free e-course using an autoresponder to build another list.

I don’t want to forget about video! I could have read the post on video or even recorded it for an audio download.

I’m sure a cool interview could have been worked out using the content.

I could have taken the time to include affiliate or product advertisements such as a few banners in the ebook.

I’m sure there are other ideas. Site promotion is limited only by your imagination.

Hi David. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think ebooks will always be a good marketing choice. Adding video or audio would be great too.

Are you serious with the submit to directories? Nothing I would recommend with all the dublicated content you will create. Rather wirte a second article with a link to the root and the deep link.

WowMax, what a coincidence. Just yesterday I posted the exact same question on WebProWorld. Check it out. I was asking about the duplicate content issue with online articles. Then you find an old post from back in July with the same point. That’s amazing :)
