A viral infection is always considered communicable, that is why anybody who has it is well advised to keep himself away from other people, else he can infect others with the virus.

When you view the term viral in the context of online marketing, you will get more or less the same meaning. Take for example viral marketing personal video. If you use this marketing strategy to showcase yourself, you will most likely have the rest of the world watching your video.

Social networking sites are the best sites to go viral with your personal video. Sites like Facebook, MySpace or Friendster have thousands of members, and all of them have video uploading features which you can take advantage of.

Aside from these social networking sites, you can also take full advantage of YouTube, a video uploading site. YouTube may not be the best video uploading site on the Web, but it is by far the most popular. Billions of videos can be accessed in YouTube, thus when people search for a video clip, they always try to search it in YouTube.

Registration from these sites is fast and easy, and free. Yes, this is one benefit of using these sites — you do not need to pay to be able to post videos.

However, for you to maximize the advantages of the internet, you must do your share in marketing your video. You cannot just simply sit and wait day after day, hoping that someone would stumble on your video. Try to make a lot of friends and contacts and send them the link to your video. You can also post the link to certain online classified ads.
