Viral Marketing: How can I get viral power to promote my online bootcamp seminars to 17 - 20 year old?

Josue Sierra, Email Marketing Expert, Spam folder avoidance & Email Deliverability answered:

Hey There,

I've been doing digital marketing for over 15 years, and quite a few of those years, I worked in content marketing. This is a good industry to be in right now.

I would suggest you not think about "viral", and consider "helpful". When you create valuable, helpful content, Google will rank you and you will benefit of the long-tail in terms of SEO organic traffic. It will take a bit longer, but it will give you a much stronger return on your investment.

Here is my general approach:

1) Consider the target audience's needs. What drives them? What problem are they trying to solve that you might be able to assist with?
2) With the above list of needs, go on Google and start typing in your search (but slow down...). As you type in your phrase, you will notice Google will suggest search phrases. Watch for phrases that might be relevant -- these are popular searches around what you were typing.
3) Write blog post or content that is helpful around those topics/needs.
4) Use the above content to help drive customer engagement and actual sales. One approach might be to give away something of value in exchange for a name and email. It could be an eBook, or a "how to" guide, etc.
5) You can then use the emails to further drive deeper engagement with those qualified interested leads into your bootcamp seminars.

Of course, you can then use all the tools at your disposal to drive increased SEO value through links (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc).

Just some thoughts to consider. Feel free to schedule a call with me if you'd like my help in helping you develop a digital marketing strategy for your product.
