Viral Marketing, Enemy turned Friend

What is viral marketing? Just what it sounds like. Marketing in virus form. Take your message (the virus), sneeze it over here and over there, and hopefully someone is infected and they begin to sneeze and spread it a bit more.

It only took a year for Kimkins to spread it’s deadly word on the internet. Was it the too good to be true offer itself or the techniques used?

I think it was a bit of both. The thought that someone lost 198 lbs in 11 months, and maintained it for 5 years really caught my eye. It was a miracle! This could end world wide obesity! Who wouldn’t want to share that kind of story? Everyone has someone in their family who is a bit overweight. If you don’t, I highly recommend you high tail it over to the sperm or egg donor bank. Oh, and I’m talking to the Americans here. I know some other countries that will swear up and down they don’t have any fat people, and until I go there I will take their word for it.

So, the message or virus to begin with was powerful. Too bad it wasn’t true. It’s this kind of junk that spoils it for the rest of us who really may come across a miracle product.

The second factor has to do with where one chooses to sneeze. If you just stay home and sneeze away, who can you infect? You need to sneeze in highly populated areas, and on people who will be susceptible to your virus.

Who is a good host for the Kimkins virus? People desperate to lose weight. Where would you find them? Well, in weight loss forums of course. And that is where Kimmer began her sneezing.

Heidi didn’t stop there. She went on to article submission sites, blogs, and into every nook and cranny of the internet. She even suggested their were celebrities using the Kimkins diet. What happens when young teen girls think their idols are on the kimkins diet? They want to do it too. And I think we all have an idea of young teen girls on the phone, sending text, and the gossip they love to share.

My friends at the Low Carb Friends forum have been working day and night to use the power of viral marketing to help stop the Kimkins virus. We have a message, and it is getting out there. Our virus is one that can save lives.

Anyone coming across this blog, I ask of you one thing. Please help us spread our message about the dangers of the scam diet Kimkins. It’s easy to do. If you post in any other interest forums, you can mention it to your friends. If you’re out this New Years Eve at a party, and someone has mentioned to you their intentions to start their diet this year, warn them about Kimkins. Got a blog? Give us a mention. Post a message at your local laundry mat or grocery store.

What’s in it for us? We don’t get paid any money. Just the warm feeling that we may have saved a few lives.

What’s in it for you? Friends and family having a long healthy life.

It’s as easy as a sneeze.
