    Let's take an example where you're a photo-sharing site, and you need more people to upload their pictures. Local maxima could be reached by doing things like:
    A/B testing your upload page to make people more likely to upload
    Delivering a ton of email notifications prompting users to upload
    Using switch-and-bait tactics like information-hiding, creating false incentives, etc.
    Creating a gimmicky points system to upload photos
    In many cases, I feel like many Facebook apps are trying to solve their problems by enacting the solutions as above. I think the quantitative side lends itself well to the above approaches, yet you rapidly hit diminishing returns.
    Compare this to much harder (but higher payout) approaches like:
    Repositioning the product for a higher resonating value proposition
    Going after a different kind of audience to target their needs
    Recalibrating the "core mechanic" of the product to make uploading photos a natural part of using the product (like HotOrNot, for example)
    These qualitative approaches are much higher risk, because you can't collect significant amounts of data to validate your responses. You end up doing lots of user interviews, conducting ethnographic studies, and other methodologies that generate lots of data, but it's still up to you as the entrepreneur to figure it out. Not easy!

    That means you are ultimately focused on one issue only:
    Do something that’s REALLY easy to spread to other people
    In this case, you are focused more on the mechanism of viral transmission than you are the content of what you are transmitting

    Viral branding
    Most people, when they talk about viral marketing, are in fact talking about viral branding. That’s the philosophy of: do something REALLY cool and people will tell all their friends
