Descripción
ViralMarketingWP enables you to create powerful viral marketing campaigns directly within WordPress. The plugin creates a complete referral system that encourages your users to share your content, products, or offers with their network, expanding your reach organically.
How It Works:
-
Campaign Creation: As an admin, you create a viral marketing campaign with custom rewards and an opt-in form. The plugin generates a shortcode that you can place on any page or post.
-
User Opt-in: When visitors land on your page, they see an opt-in form where they enter their information (name, email, etc).
-
Campaign Dashboard: After opting in, users are directed to their personal “Campaign Dashboard” which displays:
- Their unique referral URL for sharing
- Real-time statistics showing how many people they’ve referred
- A visual representation of unlocked and upcoming rewards
- Social sharing buttons for easy distribution
-
Referral Sharing: Users share their unique referral URL with friends via social media, email, messaging apps, or any other channel. The plugin tracks all referrals coming from their link.
-
Reward System: As users accumulate referrals, they automatically unlock tiered rewards that you’ve defined. These rewards can be anything: discount codes, free products, exclusive content, early access, or any other incentive you want to offer.
-
Admin Tracking: From your WordPress dashboard, you can monitor campaign performance, view lead information, track referral statistics, and manage the entire process.
The viral mechanism is powerful – each new user becomes a potential promoter for your campaign, creating a multiplying effect that can dramatically increase your reach.
Key Features:
- Easy Campaign Setup: Create unlimited viral marketing campaigns with customizable forms

- Users automatically see when they’ve unlocked rewards

How the Referral System Works
- When a user signs up through the campaign form, they receive a unique referral URL
- This URL contains a tracking parameter unique to that user
- When someone clicks their link and then submits the opt-in form, the system attributes that new lead as a referral to the original user
- The referring user’s referral count increases automatically
- When their referral count reaches a reward threshold, that reward is automatically unlocked
- Both the referring user and new sign-up can participate in the referral program, creating a viral loop
