In The Spotlight

Anyone that has spent more than an hour on YouTube knows how cool many of the videos are. They also know how lame most of them are. The great ones go viral and that’s exactly what HornBlasters.com has achieved.

I found a pretty funny YouTube video the other day through a tweet by John Sullivan @jsinkeywest. It’s Train Horns Scare Daytona Florida! [below] by Matt Landon Heller of HornBlasters.com Matt has many YouTube videos, several with around half a million views. The video below alone has over 440,000 views, 860 ratings (4 1/2 stars) and 853 comments. Can it get more viral than that? Driving traffic to their site to sell product – that’s what I’m talking about! I love this stuff. My hat’s off to YouTube Viral Marketing at it’s best and HornBlasters.com. I am now a big fan.

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.
