Viral marketing is a marketing strategy that encourages and prompts people to convey and pass along a marketing message to others voluntarily. With viral marketing, your campaigns once started, would spread like a virus. Everyone wants to see it, and when they do, they all want to share it with their friends. This has many times the effect of regular advertising.

When starting Hotmail after having been left way behind by Yahoo! Mail, Bill Gates had resorted to viral marketing strategy to hit back at Yahoo! And he did it very successfully. All Hotmail messages that were sent out had a brief signature at the end of the mails requesting the recipients to sign up for their own free Hotmail account. In less than one year, Hotmail managed to capture millions of users!
