Viral Networks – Social Networking meets Internet Marketing

One of the biggest challenges for anyone owning/operating a blog is finding a way to market your content and get a subscriber base to follow you. It’s one thing to have all the great content in the world and have all these slick monetization techniques prepped and ready to deploy for your site, but if nobody ever reads what you are writing than what’s the point?

A really popular way to try and grow the following of blogs has been through social media and networking sites like Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Plurk, Facebook etc. where users can follow one another and share their content with a wide array of different people in the hopes of getting some more traffic. A great new way to accomplish this task and to earn some rewards for yourself at the same time has presented itself in the new Viral Networks social networking site.

Viral Networks is a new social networking site that allows users to sign up, use the provided promotional tools to promote their blog/site and create a “downline” of followers all promoting their content to a broader and broader audience. Due to the way the site is structured, it is set up to allow you to promote your site and your content in an almost exponential manner, depending on how aggressive you are.

In addition to promoting your site, you can connect with other like-minded marketers through the forums, sharing videos, adding friends, promoting bookmarks and other content all the while earning credits for each of your actions. The more active you are, the more credits you earn. The number of credits you earn goes towards determining if you qualify for a share in the Revenue Sharing Program where a portion of the sites revenue will be given out to it’s members! That’s a pretty cool bonus for promoting your business right there.

The way the network is set up to go viral (hence the name) is that you also get credits for referring new members. If you refer a new member, you earn 10% of all their credits, and the multi-tiered referral system goes down 5 levels as well, so you earn 10% of the credits from each of those new members too.

It’s a really creative way to get people to contribute to the community and have the network, and it’s content, go viral. They are also running contests pretty frequently to reward members for getting referrals and being active in the community. Its just getting started so now is a great time to sign up!
