About

ViralFire.net is a unique online service that helps publishers and website owners connect their buzz-worthy content with social networks, communities and the people that use them. This type of service is commonly referred to as Social Media Marketing.

What is Social Media Marketing?

Social media marketing is a term that describes the use of social networks, online communities, blogs, and any other online collaborative media for marketing, sales, public relations and traffic growth. Common social media marketing sites include Twitter, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Wikipedia, Orkut and YouTube.

Why Social Media Marketing (SMM)?

There are a number of benefits associated with SMM, and here are just a few:

• It’s social – Remember the old marketing term ‘word-of-mouth’ advertising? Apply that same concept to the vast internet audience and you’ll begin to understand the viral potential that SMM commands. Imagine your unique content (a.k.a. ‘asset’ = news article, video, review, info graphic, etc.) being passed around and discussed with a world-wide audience.
• It’s a recommendation – In the same way that a high placement in Google’s natural search results is a recommendation from a trusted source that your page is relevant, so too is the viral effect created by social media.
• It feeds SEO – The major search engines put a fair amount of value and trust on pages that perform well in the social arena. Add to that the potential for link-bait (other sites linking to yours) and you have a healthy boost in your Search Engine Optimization efforts.
• It’s affordable – While there are no guarantees that an asset will ‘go viral,’ the ones that do receive an initial rush of traffic, residual traffic, brand awareness, and inbound links; all for $20. Assets that perform at the lower end of the viral spectrum still receive exposure that warrants a rate of twice that amount, if not more.

Why Viral Fire?

As most site owners know, getting exposure on social networks like Facebook, Digg, Twitter, Reddit, etc. can be difficult and time consuming. Viral Fire gives your content the opportunity to ‘go viral’ without spending time and resources attempting ‘in-house’ solutions. Assets submitted to the Viral Fire network are reviewed by our staff and shared with members of the social media collective; from there, your content determines it’s own potential.

We do not guarantee placement, or that your asset will reach the ‘front page’ of these sites. These methods are considered ‘black hat’ and make for ineffective Social Media Marketing.
