3 Ways to Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral | Viral Marketing Blog Tips! Video Lecture | Be a Blogger: Beginner to Expert - Professional Skills

you're writing blah content but why are
your post going viral who doesn't want
their content just spreading like a
wildfire hey everyone i'm neil patel and
today i'm going to share with you three
ways to make your blog content go viral
see the thing with blog posts and
virality is is all about emotions
anything anything goes viral it really
is all about emotions for example people
are either sad they're happy they're
furious if you can evoke these emotions
in people you're much more likely to
have content go viral so now that we've
got that out of the way because if you
don't have any emotions in your content
there's very little chance that your
contents gonna go viral right but now
that you have content that has emotion
the first thing you need to do is fuel
the fire see if you get a million
visitors to a blog post that could
easily be worth a few hundred thousand
dollars in Aspen I kid you not a million
visitors could be worth a hundred two
hundred grand in ads spent so it's worth
fueling the fire by boosting a post on
Facebook you can start fueling the fire
by driving more traffic using
StumbleUpon paid ads again you can fuel
the fire if you want to pay for some
traffic from Twitter again you can view
the fire you get the point drive some
traffic with some paid ads it helps spur
things and get things going the second
thing you want to do is go check out
buzzsumo com go putting keywords related
to your space you'll see what's already
gone viral why try to recreate the wheel
if you already know what people love
within your space why wouldn't you try
to create more of that and what I like
doing is I like going and taking the top
related post I went viral in the last 12
months because you can do that on
buzzsumo and then I try to create better
versions of them so if they talked about
10 ways to drive more traffic to your
website I'll go write a post that's a
hundred and one ways to drive more
traffic to your blog or to your website
or whatever it is and when you're
writing your content it's not just about
the content it's also about your page
how's it laid out
how does it look is your design pretty
or is it ugly if it's ugly do you think
people really want to keep it looking at
it no but if it looks beautiful people
be like oh yeah I gotta check this out
this is amazing it's sexy that's why on
my site quick sprout you'll see a lot of
my advance guys have really beautiful
designs I do that on purpose it's
because beautiful designs are much more
likely to go viral and the third tip I
have for you is that it's a numbers game
you can't really predict what's gonna go
viral or not if you could you'd be rich
you wouldn't even have to listen to this
video and if I could I wouldn't be out
here telling people how to go viral each
and every single day because if I could
just continually create head after hit I
would be like I would make more money
just creating the viral content than
doing anything else in my life but
that's not the reality on average I'm
creating a viral blog post once every
two weeks and it's a numbers game
I kid you not I'm really seeing more
than one blog post a day believe it if I
have to do it in quantity and people
like BuzzFeed have to do it in quantity
that means everyone has to do it in
quantity and if you follow those three
things you're gonna start producing
viral content if I can do it and I'm
terrible at writing and I don't have the
best grammar and spelling that means you
can do it too
