Hope these work for you if you are selling a product or service on the web, or if you just have a website or blog you'd like to promote.

1. Demo movie: In the virtual world, making people understand the benefits of your products, services or websites is a real challenge. One way to do so is to make a short movie that takes the viewer through the highlights of the product or service. This would make your product more tangible.

   You can put the movie on your website, but may also publish links to it on different discussion groups, upload it to internet video services (such as YouTube or Google Video) or even make copies of it on a CD and hand it out as a give-away to people you know or to existing and potential customers.

2. Funny/Shocking Viral Presentation: Getting people to laugh or shocking them are good ways of getting their attention. You can use this to promote a product or a service.

   Make a funny presentation involving your product or website, and send it over to your friends and your email list members, if you have one. The presentation should include a link back to your website.

   If it is funny or shocking enough, it should spread from one person to the next, bringing you more traffic and leads. If you need an idea how to make a presentation funny or shocking, read the Creative Tool called "Extreme Results" described in one of my newsletters.

3. A Competition to Promote you product/service/website: Instead of working hard by yourself to promote your online products and services, you can use the power of your visitors and costumers to do so with a greater impact.

   A good way to do so is to hold a contest that encourages them to promote your products or recommend your website.

   Although an advanced version of this approach is using affiliate programs, it is not always appropriate or desired. If, for instance, you don't sell products online and can't offer affiliates any commissions, you can use this simpler and less formal way to achieve these same goals.
