How to Create a Blog Post that will go Viral?

What a viral blog post means?

It is the kind of post that compels everyone to talk about it and share it. It is unfortunate that a major chunk of people believe that a viral post means some crazy numbers in millions because of highly exposed music and prank videos. But, attracting the numbers of visitors in millions is near impossible and unrealistic for written blog content. You also know it already that even the best blog posts could not reach those numbers ever. So, it is important for you to know what actually viral means.

For many, a viral blog post has an incredibly high number of shares in comparison to the number of shares for average post. Suppose that if your average post on Facebook gets 10 to 20 shares, then viral may even cross 200 or more shares. It may be 500 or even 10,000 for some bloggers.

Many people think that writing viral blog post is sheer luck, but it is not right. There are many avid bloggers who already know that their blog posts will go viral. You can also create a blog post that will go viral, if you are aware of the 3 fundamentals of blog post writing.

The first secret to create a viral post is to have a blog in a more specific niche. By doing so, you can easily create content for your readers. A number of blogs publish posts on a variety of topics and do not feel the importance of focussing on any one. It may appeal to only a certain section of blog readers and can minimise the reach of content. In the worst case, if readers are uninterested in diverse range of topics, they are not going to visit the blog.

It is a general conception that bloggers are expert in specific field they write about, but this is not deemed to be true, all the time. If you do not have the grasp over your subject, readers may not come back and would not share your work. So, it is important to be expert in your field.

Make sure to stay ahead with industry news and trends. You should know your niche thoroughly, research topics, read other blogs on similar topic and stay current on relevant news. You should write the content that is relevant to your readers.

It is common sometimes that your content will not spread out even if you know the subject matter thoroughly. What you need in this case is to know the community within your niche. You should know the favourite online hang-out places of your ideal readers. Make sure to visit the popular blogs, read discussed comments. Provide your input on the comment sections of other blogs, refrain yourself from mentioning about your blog.

It is common for fellow commenter to discover everything about the most involved persons. You will be able to tailor the content according to the taste of your community, if you know the members better. You will be able to know what attracts or displeases them.

If you are a blogger, it is important that you have a world view on the things you see. Your personal opinion counts, as it sets you apart from the crowd and attracts readers to your posts and compels them to come back for more. But, in order to make readers relate to and appreciate your blog, you need to know how to express your world view. It is unfortunate that many writers fail to realise how their world view affects others.

You should know your view as well as that of others. Make sure to modify your point and present it in thought-provoking way. Do not discredit others beliefs and others will willingly think about yours. Share you world view in a way to present yourself as considerate and understanding. It makes you likeable and helps your content go viral.

If you put these tips into practice, be certain to attract a sizeable chunk of readers. You will be able to write highly shareable posts that have the ability to go viral and write the content relevant to you and your readers.
