1. Write Content Which Goes Viral:
Everyone knows that creating viral content attracts the traffic. But only a few know how to successfully create viral content.
To create viral content you have to pay attention to two critical things:
-
Grab The Attention By Headlines:
It is not the new thing I’m telling you. This strategy is old but evergreen. You can make your headlines emotionally attached with your readers. So that they feel attached to it and click the link to as a curiosity.
-
Write Quality Content Backed With A Catchy Headline.
If your headlines are attractive but not the content, your visitors will leave the page in few seconds. So writing the quality content is also important.
2. Write Audience Friendly Content:
A good blogger knows his audience and he dedicates his content to them. When we write our first aim is to write about the audience not about you. If your experience is useful to readers then only they will read it else not. Make your audience your first priority; don’t try to trick them by branding yourself. The audience is smart enough to smell the right content for them.
Always write like you are talking with a reader individually. It makes the reader more engaged and connected. Use the pronoun “you” to make them feel you are talking about their problem and solution.
To know your audience you can interact with them by comments, feedback and reviews provided by them. You can get a great content idea by their comments and mentioned problems or answer the questions in your next post in detail.
3. Get Content Idea By Buzzsumo And Ubersuggest:
