Did you know that according to a study by Sharpe Partners, 89 percent of adult Internet users in the U.S. share content with others by email? That makes forwarding content a natural form of viral marketing, which is excellent news for those who want to use “word-of-mouse” email techniques to sell their products.

The study found that the content most often forwarded is that which contains humor. Here’s a list of all the topics they found have a tendency to go “viral,” in order of popularity:

• * Humor
• * News
• * Health articles and medical information
• * Religious and spiritual material
• * Games
• * Business and personal finance information
• * Sports/hobbies

It’s easy to see that humor is an important component for a viral email campaign. As a shining example of this, consider the way Disneyland married the first two types of information, a timely news topic and humor, to great effect: After making the rounds on the Internet, about 35 million people ultimately received an e-mail containing a picture of Donald Duck lying in front of Disneyland’s Cinderella’s castle. The title of the picture was “Bird Flu Has Hit Disneyland.” Disneyland used the edgy strategy of making light of something serious… and it worked.

Cartoons, jokes and funny video clips also can be added to an email to stimulate viral marketing. Depending on how much your friends like to forward emails, all you might have to do is open your email in-box to find jokes. As you probably know, you can find a wide selection of funny video clips on YouTube. And if you want to include a cartoon, this list of artists offers free cartoons. All these sources can provide great material for your next email marketing campaign.

Remember, people just naturally want to pass along something that makes them laugh. They’re a lot more likely to hit the forward button and send your email to their friends and relatives if it contains “advertainment” rather than an advertisement.

When I first got into affiliate marketing, I found a program I figured I could really trust.  It was Average Joe’s Income Package and it was, and still is, $47.  Well, my first couple weeks with it were rough, I made about $100 so it had paid for itself.  I was pretty pleased with that, but I expected so much more, ya know?  It told me how I could make $200 a day, and I wanted that.  Well I decided to go over the lessons again a couple times.  I began to get a firmer grasp of what it had to offer.  The next two weeks, I made about $150.  Not bad, but not what I wanted.  Well week by week, and I gained more knowledge and understanding, my income increased.  So here I sit, making about $200 to $250 a day with the program.  I have had it for about 6 months now, and I have made about $40,000 with it.  Not bad for a $47 dollar investment and a little bit of time, right?  Well I think so.  It lead me to getting other programs and learning more ways which I share in my blog at http://marketinghelper.wordpress.com.  I owe my original success to Average joes.
