True story: I once met a business owner who paid someone to boost his social media following.<\/p>\n\n

He got thousands of new Facebook fans and Twitter followers overnight. He couldn\u2019t wait for his business to start taking off.<\/p>\n\n

But then he looked closer: His new \u201cfans\u201d were all hookers from Bangladesh and Indonesia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

As someone who hates social media, I found this hilarious.<\/p>\n\n

I\u2019ve spent most of my working life in \u201cold school\u201d companies, where business was booming without \u201cengagement\u201d or \u201cfans.\u201d So I\u2019m skeptical of any social media hacks that promise the keys to the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n

But last month, a few guys on our team at IWT showed me that social media can be useful.<\/p>\n\n

On two different campaigns, they crushed their opt-in goals by 49% and 57% through shares and retweets.<\/p>\n\n

They did this using the same secret that companies like Dropbox, LinkedIn, and Internet Explorer used to get millions of users without any advertising.<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s called a viral loop. It\u2019s a way to make it easy for people to sign up for your product and tell others about it. You can also use a viral loop to grow your email list and get people who wouldn\u2019t hear of you otherwise to sign up.<\/p>\n\n

Today I\u2019m going to walk you through everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n

The viral loop: A party everyone wants to get into<\/h2>\n\n

First off, what exactly is a viral loop?<\/p>\n\n

Let me explain with an analogy…<\/p>\n\n

Pretend you want to throw a massive party that everyone will be talking about for months to come. The catch is that you can only invite one person.<\/p>\n\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but I would call up a friend who knows a lot of people in town and tell him to invite others. And to let those others know they\u2019re free to get the word out, too.<\/p>\n\n

So just from one invite, I can get 10 (possibly more) people to the party.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n

If everyone keeps spreading the word, the party will get really big, really fast.
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n

That\u2019s how a viral loop works. You invite one group of people, they invite the next group, and so on.<\/p>\n\n

What\u2019s the best way to get the next group of people to show up? Make it worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n

For a party, it could be free food, drinks, or even just saying a lot of cool people will be there.<\/p>\n\n

Or take Dropbox. In their early days, they used lots of incentives to get new users. For example, once you signed up, they gave you more disk space if you invited friends to join, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

And that\u2019s what makes viral loops so effective.<\/p>\n\n

When someone sends a friend an invitation, it\u2019s like them saying, \u201cHey, I like this. You should check it out, too.\u201d It\u2019s a recommendation from a trusted source, so people are more likely to sign up.<\/p>\n\n

Let me show you the steps to creating your own viral loop, along with a real example.<\/p>\n\n
