Autopilot marketing is viral marketing
Interesting,
Most of us are looking for the ultimate autopilot marketing system, I know I am, and like glenelee stated, there is no such thing as autopilot yet. lol Viral marketing is the next best thing, but like all marketing, it all comes down to what you are marketing.
In my research, if you offer true verified value to everyone, not just those interested in marketing, then you are as close as you can get to automated marketing system, or viral marketing as I call it. The only way this works is if the value is obvious, needed or used by everyone, and offers a passive business opportunity for free, this is the secret of viral marketing, free, easy, and no selling required, just telling.
The problem with almost every online home based business model is they are missing one of these main ingredients. In a recession, the biggest obstacle for most is the up front cost of a home business, and now more than ever, if you cannot offer a free business opportunity, you won't ever see any viral marketing, no matter what anyone says. Just as with autopilot promotions, so is it with viral marketing, you have to have free to join, real verifiable savings, and mass appeal, finding what most people are already purchasing elsewhere for more money. People all want to save money, so it all startes with value.
I have spent years researching every business to come along, and I focus only on recession proof business opportunities now more than ever. The days of the $500. up front business opportunities are numbered in my experience. The treshhold is now under $100., if not even lower unless you are a great salesperson, which most are not, so this is where you have to be offering true value and money saving products and services or you will never see true viral marketing.
Success to all, Mike
