You can use these wonderful Viral Toolkit tools to promote things other than your squeeze page. I've been getting quite a few plays on Pandora without any real promotion, which is great, of course. But I've been wondering if I could do a better job of promoting myself there.
When the viral photo revealer was released, I had a brain-storm. Please tell me what you think of my implementation. On my facebook page, I posted this:
I am willing to embarrass myself for the sake of the cause. And there is a cause behind showing you this *very embarrassing* picture of me. Vicky says it's adorable. I was on a hunt for the original so that I could burn it. I'm afraid it's too late for that now. Click on the link below to promote the cause...
For the time being, I have the post pinned to the top of my page (if you'd like to see it): http://www.facebook.com/LangerMusic.
Obviously, this isn't going to have the circular viral affect of having a promotion for your squeeze page on your thank you page, but I think it's a cool way of promoting yourself. In this particular promotion, I also get some satisfaction from not just promoting myself, but also promoting other artists like me. I'll probably end up adding this to my automated promotional posts/tweets template so that it will go out on a somewhat regular basis.

Well, at the moment, there's a problem with the photo revealer. I've contacted support.
It's working correctly now. I'm excited to see how this is going to work. And it's pretty darn fun, to boot!
Righton...Im toying with the idea of offering a shipping discount on the checkout page with the VMP photo revealer. Not sure exactly how it will work....But at that point theyre already gonna buy..I can spare a buck or 2 in shipping if they share my squeeze page. what do yall think?

hey Charley, as I mentioned in our Facebook conversation, this is an awesome implementation. I absolutely think you should be using your thank you page, either with the photo revealer or the download revealer. You can go with a discount, or more free stuff. Another thing worth testing. But don't waste that space 🙂

It's still on my Facebook page, but it's buried by a couple of months. I think it was from May. If you check out the first post on this thread, there's a link to the page where I put the photo revealer. That 1 is still active, cos I just checked it.
