4. Publish Viral Content
Is there a foolproof formula for crafting viral content? Not really; otherwise, everyone would crack that code! 🙂
However, 3 key factors can significantly boost the odds of your content taking off and spreading like wildfire:
a. Visually Engaging: Viral hits tend to be highly visual, packing a punch with plentiful images, infographics, videos or other multimedia elements. Research confirms that image-rich content enjoys a massive 90%+ advantage in social shares compared to plain text.
b. Utility-Driven: Content offering exceptional utility and practical value is viral gold. Whether it’s a life hack for steaming veggies perfectly or acing a job interview, people gobble up insanely useful and helpful material.
c. Promotion Spark: Even brilliant, visual, ultra-helpful pieces need an initial promotional push to get traction. Chris Gimmer’s blog post scored over 17k visitors daily by strategically promoting it on hotspots like Reddit to drive those critical initial traffic influxes.
So, while there’s no viral guarantee, focusing on visuals, utility, and strategic promotion gives your stellar content the best chance to be the next big thing!
