Will You Earn a Black Belt in Viral Marketing?

Can you remember how you started using Google?I bet it wasn’t a super bowl ad you saw on TV.
Nor was it a center-spread ad in a magazine or newspaper.
It probably was a friend who told you about it…
- You checked it out.
- It looked cool.
- Ran a search.
- You liked it.
- You told a few of your friends.
- Some of ‘em liked it do.
- Each one of them told their friends.
And what happened?
Google became the #1 search engine on earth.
Who made that possible?
YOU!
But did Google ever send you a personal email to thank you?
Nope.
Did Google award anyone at all for promoting them?
Not that I know of…
Two crazy guys have decided to do a test. A viral marketing test.
They set it up so that it works just like it did when you promoted Google in the past. You just tell a friend…
Only…
These guys are counting…
They are counting how many friends you refer. And how many friends your friends refer. And how many friends the friends of your friends refer. Et cetera…
And the one who refers most friends in the next 2 weeks gets the most wacky prize I’ve ever seen!
No hot shot marketers to compete with. No people with an affiliate link sending an announcement to their list. This is a real grass-roots contest. Fair chances for everyone and hey, even if you don’t get the black belt, you can still win any of the other wacky prizes…
It is fun. It is interesting. It is wacky.
And it could be history repeating itself…
Will you be part of this history?
Check it out!
