 VIRAL LOOP
by Adam Penenberg Price: A$34.95 pb - 272 pages ISBN-10: 0340994967 ISBN-13: 9780340994962 September 2009 A groundbreaking book, Viral Loop reveals the secrets behind the most successful businesses in rcent history, and explains how and why the Loop will catch you. Here's how it works–you read a book you enjoy and you tell a friend. That friend tells another friend, the next friend tells the next, and so on and so forth, until the book becomes that year's word-of-mouth bestseller. That first recommendation gives birth to many. Simple. The principle of pass-it-on is not so new and not so revolutionary–think Tupperware parties–that is, until forward-thinking Web companies got hold of it and created their own, mightily efficient, money-spinning model known as the Viral Loop–the ability to grow a company exponentially because the customers themselves spread it.. Super simple.
