The Five Steps in Word of Mouth Marketing



In my search to find some great new content for the for my blog, I came across Andy Sernovitz book

Word of Mouth Marketing which, just happens to be on the very topic that I am creating this e-book about. Anyway, there is a lot that you can learn about going viral from Andy’s book, but it amazed me that his Five Steps for a Word of Mouth program was reprinted in the blog space everywhere. I’m not usually a lemming, but some content deserves to be repeated. Here are the steps; taken from an article by Andy on Marketing Profs:

1. Talkers: People who are more likely to relay your word of mouth message



2. Topics: Portable concepts for people to talk about, simple ideas that are word-of-mouth friendly

3. Tools: Techniques and technology that make it easier for word of mouth conversations to take place


4. Taking part: Participating in the word of mouth conversation and engaging in a genuine two-way dialog


5. Tracking: Measuring the online conversation

You forgot bribery. The most popular viral marketing schemes come from network marketing businesses that appeal to people's greed. You don't have to offer money though as incentive, get creative. Have a raffle or contest.
