3 Ways to Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral _ Viral Marketing Blog Tips!

You're writing blog content .

But why are your posts going viral ?

Who doesn't want their content just spreading like a wildfire ?

Hey , everyone .

I'm Neil Patel .

And today I'm gonna share with you three ways to make your blog content go viral .

See the thing with blog posts and viral 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 the way because if you don't have any emotions in your content , there's very little chance that your content is 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 blog posts that can easily be worth a few $100,000 in ads .

I kid you not a million visitors could be worth 100 200 grand in ads spend .

So it's worth fueling the fire by boosting a post on Facebook , you can start fueling the fire by driving more traffic using , stumble upon paid ads .

Again , you can feel the fire if you want to pay for some traffic from Twitter again , you can fuel 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 wanna do is go check out buzz sumo dot com .

Go put it in 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 taking the top related post that went viral in the last 12 months because you can do that on Buzz Sumo 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 and write a post that's 100 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 looking at it ?

No , but if it looks beautiful , people are gonna 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 advanced 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 would be rich , you would 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 hit after hit , I'd be like , I would make more money just creating the vial 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 releasing 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 .
