This is a brand new blog and we are still waiting on the logo/mascot to place in the header and make a few custom images and buttons for around the site.

We have been sent 8 different versions and The ViralKing is still not happy that he is being portrayed as he would like to be seen. We are promised a much better and ready mascot on the 4th and we are hoping to be able to add them to this blog then.

Mascots are very important as they build up a brand and an identity, my King image is to me what the golden arches are for Macdonald’s! With Ebooks coming out, new websites in the pipelines and plenty of ideas and content to be shared, the ViralKing needs to be looking his best!

There is still a lot of other things to do before the blog is ‘ready’ for the limelight, so anyone reading these posts, you are going through the birth with us whilst the rest of the world are in the waiting room!

We expect to have the blog finished and all the ‘To-Dos’, ‘To-dones’ by the 5th of Jan 2008 and will then look to sell our advertising inventory and spend that (Plus plenty more) on getting the word out.

Lets face it, you can have wonderful information to share, which the ViralKing has, but if you have no one to share it with, then what’s the point?

The above statement is not implying ‘give up’ it is stating, DONT give up, with good promotion you will get the readers, then it is vital that you have good content.

Really looking forward to getting this blog ready and building a great community! See you soon world…

Bloggers will make mistakes, that is a given. We are all human and we often don’t notice we are making a mistake. While my English is very good, often my grammar is poor but I double check and try and get it right. Bad grammar is also not going to cost me a lot of money. I was reading a blog post the other day that mentions how Match.com has deadlinks in their system ‘wink’ emails as you can see from the screen below:

That might cost them a fair bit of income if it is not fixed as this most likely requires members to upgrade to respond. We see it in the blogging world a fair bit and this one from Shoemoney isn’t going to cost him any money, but is funny:

Shoe is a serious domainer, yet in his post the site he states that you have an account at, is spelled wrong, you can see the correct version in the email he pasted in the post below. Either it was a mistake and the person parking dnforums will be quite happy, or shoe is sneaky and actually owns the domain and wanted to drive people there (Although that evilness is more a John Chow action):

The moral of this post is to always double check things you do, especially those that can cost you money! We will always make mistakes and I know that in the coming months and years I will make plenty, but try not to make simple mistakes that can cost you lots of money….AKA Match.com

We have our first Advertiser and the blog is still not out of beta yet! Only launching tomorrow but already we have someone coughing up the cash (the ad spots are very cheap as we are new) to grab his spot in the 125*125.

We would like to welcome the fat man from Fatmanunleashed Dot Com who has seen the huge potential that we have and wanted to get himself locked in at the low price.

There are still plenty of ad posts remaining but we expect them to fill up quick so be sure to grab yours now!

We look forward to launching tomorrow and hope that everyone had a happy new year!

Welcome to ViralKing Dot Com!

This is my first post on my new blog just in time for the New Year. Lets get the important things of a first post out the way with first:

* Who Am I?
* Who is the ViralKing?
* What is The Goal of This Blog?

Who Am I?

My name is Colin Klinkert. Although new to blogging I am not new to marketing. I have been a Full time Internet Marketer since I was 18. I am now (At time of writing) 22. I have 5 (FIVE) years Full time Internet Marketing Experience. I personally struggled a lot to earn an income online in the beginning, in fact it took over 2 years! Friends and Family were saying that I’m wasting my time: ‘stop living in a dream world’, ‘Your perception of life is way off!’ etc.

You see, they struggled to see that anyone could setup a business online and be making large returns on investment and full time incomes from home working at their leisure (Notice I didn’t say, ‘playing around’ this is still real work) whilst everyone else works 9-5 for a yearly salary that sometimes struggles just to cover the mortgage and food for one!

Well without going on too long, I made it and have been successfully earning a wonderful income for the last 2 years and every day I continue to learn more

Who is the ViralKing?

The ViralKing is my persona, my branding and most importantly my creative outlet. I definatly don’t think of myself as a real Viral Marketing expert, but I have plenty of knowladge that I feel you can benefit from. The ViralKing was born when I decided that I would like a unique angle, I would like to position myself as an expert in my field. I am heavily into Viral Marketing and the concept of leveraging my time and resources to maximum effect, so it seemed logical to brand myself in the Viral Marketing Niche. So enter…..The ViralKing!

What is The Goal of This Blog?

This blog is built with a couple of goals in mind. First it should be noted that goals are VITAL to success in anything you do in like. Today is the 31st December 2007 and I have written out both personal and business goals for next year.

I like to keep both sets of goals to myself but just as an example here is one goal from each list (Each list has 10 goals):

Personal: Learn French This Year (I don’t speak one word, lets see if i can speak it this time next year)
Business: Establish The ViralKing Brand and grow this blog to 1,000+ RSS Subscribers (Why not help me out and join now )

The goal of this blog is to build my new brand by helping as many people as possible harness the power of not just Viral Marketing, but the power to take control of their future, to fire the boss (If that is your goal) and earn a (better Than) full time income online!

I hope that I can live up to, and surpass these goals this coming year. I really hope that you join me on this adventure and that I can help keep YOU in the game and up to date with the latest changes

To a GREAT TWO DOUBLE O EIGHT,

ViralKing
