***I would like to begin by saying this... no matter your feelings on Adam, VIRAL is a great idea, the marketing style is new and a fantastic idea, and as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing at all in the VIRAL project that is either misleading or scam-like in any way. Everything has been presented upfront and honestly, and so far everything that the VIRAL team has said they would do, they did, and most of the time they beat their own deadlines. If the project continues in the direction it has been, I fully expect it to last a long time and become immensely popular. Not only in the crypto world, but outside it as well, as everyone needs marketing to promote their wares. Please leave the BS out of this thread about Adam or anyone involved in the Crowd Fund that you may not particularly like. Judge projects based on their merits and what they've accomplished, not based on nonsense you may or may not believe about the person who started it, or the people who may have invested in it. This thread is not for discussion on VIRAL being anything other than the project it is. If you mention anything else in this thread, I'll delete your post with extreme prejudice. Do your own research on the PROJECT, and decide for yourself whether you think it is a good idea or not, I myself believe that it is. Regardless of anything else. Thank you.***

-[VIRAL]- First Sponsor Review

My story:

Hello everyone!

I wanted to take the time to give VIRAL a review, so that everyone knows, when theyre investing in some VIRAL marketing, theyre going to get their moneys worth! I wanted to tell everyone what I witnessed, and what has happened, now that the first VIRAL sponsor (BURST in general, and in particular, myself) has had time to see what VIRAL did, and see the results for a decent period of time.

When I decided to make this sponsorship, and become the first VIRAL sponsor, I knew that the promotion of another crypto coin would be a great start for VIRAL. I knew then that the market had around 55 thousand possible accounts that could see the VIRAL marketing messages, and I knew that it would be interesting if nothing else, just to see.

I took the chance, and gave the 3 BTC necessary to get the project started. I spoke with Adam, and provided him with my plan. I gave him some factoids that I had written, and told him to change them and modify them as he wanted, as he was the marketing expert, not me! Adam took my fact sheet, and turned them into some beautiful tweets, both well-phrased, and effective in noting the key information that I wanted to get across to the public. The messages came out very nice, not spammy looking, and not in your face. They made you question, they made you want to click and search, and figure out what exactly this BURST is. The overall quality of the marketing material was exceptional, and I was very pleased.

Once I saw that the VIRAL campaign had begun, I was SUPER excited. Watching all of those tweets with a search on twitter for $BURST, was purely amazing! All of these people, tweeting to all of their friends, about the information that I WANTED THEM TO KNOW! It was all very exciting. Not to mention since it was the first actual sponsorship, it was great to see how the VIRAL platform functioned, and it functioned amazingly!

I literally sat there and watched the VIRAL stream, posting new and well written messages to thousands of followers, for quite a while. Im sure that I wasted at least 45 min of my workday at my day job. Hehe. It was really cool, to see all of this promotion happening right in front of my eyes! BURST is a coin that desperately needed some promotion,(with all of the features and power it has, it must be known!) and I was glad to see it, regardless of the outcome. Although, of course, I did hope for the best!

The VIRAL outcome:

Immediately after the VIRAL campaign, BURST price shot up by a good chunk, and so did the volume, I was of course very pleased by this. But what started happening later, is what really proved to me that the VIRAL marketing system works. (You must also bear in mind, that the VIRAL network at the time of the promotion, was easily 3 times SMALLER than it is now! So imagine the power of the network now! Imagine the power it will be in the future if it has grown THIS MUCH in such a short time! It is all very exciting, and it will be blatant that the compounding value of the VIRAL marketing, will continue to grow.)
After the campaign, the attention on BURST continued to grow, and since Im part of the core team, I know we werent doing much else in the way of promotion at the time. Im 100% sure that this all came from the VIRAL marketing platform. The following occurred, and has still been occurring

1. BURST volume, on all 3 of its exchanges, has steadily been on the rise.
2. BURST network size increased at a much faster rate than it had been before, meaning more people were mining on the BURST network.
3. People messaged me both on twitter and bitcointalk, asking questions about BURST. Saying they saw it on twitter. (This continues still.)
4. People jumped into the BURST ANN thread on BTT and said they saw it on twitter and wanted to know more. A few other new people came in, not mentioning twitter, but it was fairly obvious at this point where they heard of it.
5. These things continue, as the words from the VIRAL campaign are STILL spreading around twitter!

Everything worked out just great! It started an affect that continues still, and I believe will continue to continue, as everyone reads more about VIRAL, and reads about VIRAL sponsors. So, not only does VIRAL promote the product for you for however long you pay for, but that promotion lives on, sparks conversations, and gets people interested!
I cant wait to see the future of VIRAL! Already the size has TRIPLED since I did my campaign! That means the reach is over THREE TIMES BIGGER than it was when I did this. Imagine what that could mean for you and your promotions! There is a real future for this platform, and as long as everything continues the way it has been, I see no reason why VIRAL wont become a name that everyone knows.

Overall Rating:

A+ - This campaign surprised me with how long its results lasted, they continue to this day, and Im 100% that theyll continue past it! The size of the VIRAL network continues to grow at an alarming rate, and I know this will cause some really amazing things to happen for the future VIRAL sponsors! Dont hesitate to give this a chance, the VIRAL platform is REAL, it WORKS, and if you have something that you need promoted, who better to do it through? Who are people going to listen to more? Random banner ads, or THEIR FRIENDS? The choice is blatantly obvious.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really just wanted people to know that VIRAL works, and not only that, the network continues to grow, and thus the reach continues to grow. Get your promotions done with the VIRAL platform, and become pleasantly surprised by VIRALs ability to go beyond your expectations!

Incredible review, VIRAL thanks you for being our first sponsor and looks forward to doing more business with you in the future and all the best of luck with BURST!
