This question has no further details.
Answers
Hello! First some questions. Are you working in a specific local market? What have you done to attract clients in the past? How did it work? Do you have a client base now? Have you tried any referral marketing at all? What are you teaching?
YouTube , Instagram and Snap Chat.. This is where that age group congregates. You must talk to your market in the place where your market spends time.
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.
I have organized over 25 online webinars during the last 2 years about topics related with online marketing and product management. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to get viral power. It would be helpful if you provide more context so my answer could be more accurate to your particular case. If you are organizing your first online webinar your challenge should be how to get 1 viewer that cares about what you do. Then we can keep talking about next steps.

How can I effectively market my online business to baby boomers / senior citizens?
You have a lot of options to market to boomers and seniors. That age group is facebook's fastest growing segment. Build ads that target that age group and think about having a facebook page to supplement your efforts there. Older people search just like the rest of us as well, so build an adwords campaign around keywords that might align with your product. Contact me if you'd like to chat about some options or need some help building your campaigns. Good luck!JR

What is the best country to start an online marketing and design business in?
I have registered over 20 companies in the last decade and from my experience I can tell you that every country serves a different purpose. I run a small gambling company that I have registered in Malta due to the legality of online gambling there. I have another company registered in Delaware, whilst my main company is registered in the Netherlands. If your business is only online I would advise you to register it in Europe or if you must in the United States in Delaware/Nevada. Credibility wise I would say that registering your company in Singapore or Malta or Costa Rica, will not benefit you much opposed to say Delaware or The Netherlands. I am available for a call if you need anymore help. I am currently doing a promotion for a one time free 15 minute phone call so just send me a message for the discount code.GS

What's the average CAC value or range for a Marketplace client?
I think you're looking at this the wrong way. Your customer acquisition cost is not something you should benchmark against other businesses. Without knowing more, like your short and long-term goals, it's impossible to answer. Two companies with similar business models may have different answers to this question. A venture-backed startup trying to keep up with aggressive revenue goals may be able to stomach an astronomical CAC. A bootstrapped startup that is not seeking venture money may aim for slower growth and much lower CAC. I suggest setting up a call with a marketing or finance expert to determine what CAC is appropriate for your company and how to get there.TL

What is the best way to capture and track referrals directed from a landing page?
There are a few ways to track things automatically, but they get complicated: - referral program software - Give your referrers special URL's with parameters that identify them as the referrer (like http://url.com/?referrer=JohnDoe), then push that value into a hidden form field - Create a separate landing page for each referrer I'd keep things much simpler to start. Just tell your social club that there's a referral program in place, then add a form field on your signup process asking who referred the new customer. If John Doe knows that there's a program in place, when he refers someone, he's likely to tell them "make sure you say I referred you". When the new customer joins, they'll likely remember to enter "John Doe" as the referrer. It's not bullet proof, but it's an easy way to start.CD

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW
