Originally, e-mail was the one way that viral marketing began. Since that day 
long ago, viral marketing has moved from a marketing strategy to an art form and there are numerous ways to accomplish the objective of producing a successful viral marketing campaign.
Below are listed seven of those ways:
- E-mail: It was first but it is still around and still used. It is, nonetheless, getting a bit harder to use as increasingly government restrictions (spam) are placed on it. However it does work.
- Newsletters: This is an extension of e-mail but it a very effective tool. If you include enough timely and useful information, a good newsletter can push up the number of visits to your website.
- Blogging: Supplying the tools on your website to enable bloggers to interact with each other is a fantastic way to get the message about your product or service out there and being talked about. Bloggers have their ears to the ground for fresh products and services.
- Chat Rooms: A chat room on your website can and does promote interaction amongst your customers and that can’t be a bad thing. Also, you are able to use the chat room to schedule special events like having an expert available to answer questions on a given day at a given time.
- Tell-a-friend Script: If you add this with a statement saying that e-mail addresses supplied will never be shared with third parties, you are able to increase your potential customer list greatly
- Video Clips: Including cool video clips on your website will keep the interest up and increase traffic.
- Flash Games: Whilst they are a little costly to start, they are an highly effective tool to get your viral marketing campaign going. Once they are established, they require nothing more from you.
