Flashback: Viral eBooks
Comedians Stumble Upon New Viral Marketing Concept
Two stand-up comedians from San Diego, California say they have accidentally discovered a new viral marketing vehicle for the Internet. Steve Roye and Paul Stoecklein were trying to think of ways to promote their new web site (killerstandup.com) when one simple idea caused an unexpected result.
The idea is very simple. Roye and Stoecklein created a second web site (freejokebooks.com), which offers free downloadable joke books and humorous fairy tales in the form of executable files. Created with the help of a compiler, the eBooks look like individual web sites. These eBooks circulate via email and feed traffic back to both web sites through hyperlinks.
“The embarrassing thing is,” says Stoecklein, “I didn’t really consider the email part of it at first. I just thought of the books as freebies to give people and hope they might come back to one of the sites. End of story. I really didn’t consider the viral effect these things are having.”
