Going viral is the dream that everyone has with a blog or product. With a blog post, you can give people your credentials while going viral. When you write the blog post, make sure your credentials blend in with the entire post because viral posts are not about credentials.
How you write about what you choose is one factor that goes into writing a blog post that goes viral. Many blog posts that go viral are blog posts of incredible stories (not a lot of credentials though). Other blog posts go viral because they offer top-notch advice. In order to have a viral blog post, your blog post has to be one of quality.
Another factor that goes into having a viral blog post is by talking about someone or something that people admire. There are a lot of sports figures, teachers, and other people that are admired by many people. Write a powerful blog post about that person or thing.
When you finish the blog post, it is not going to go viral on its own. Creating a blog post does not necessarily mean “the people will come”. People have to learn about your blog from somewhere.
Here comes the viral part. In order to make your blog post go viral on Twitter, you need to use Twitter’s search engine to find people who are interested in what you just wrote your blog about. Have conversations with the people who tweeted recently about what you just blogged about. At the end of the conversation, ask the person to look at your blog post about what you were just talking about.
If you do this with 100 people a day, those 100 people will tell their friends who will in turn tell their friends. Then, your blog post goes viral. On a blog post that goes viral, it is very important to tell people about your credentials in a small blurb that does not distract readers from reading the rest of your blog post.
Thank you Marc.This post is short sharp and to the point. I like the idea of writing story of someone.
Thank you Jamel. I am happy you got value from this post.
Very interesting!
Thank you.
Interesting points! It’s easy for a blog post to get lost in a sea of tweets so this was a helpful read. Thanks!

My pleasure Paula.
If you aim for quality and help people to understand pressing issues better you will be on the right track. However, for most people the process of building a following of appreciative readers takes several years’ work. A strong image and short video also helps!
I agree about the strong image and short video helping out. However, it is possible to grow a large audience within a year if the right training gets presented. Right now, I gain over 10,000 Twitter followers every month which means over 120,000 Twitter followers every year. If someone learned that expertise right from the beginning, then that person could have a large audience within a year. It’s all about hustle.
