The Art Of Going Viral
This is what you need to know
The size of the question dictates the size of the audience — Nicolas Cole!
This means it’s easy to go viral if you write about a broad “Question.” A headline like “10 Books that’ll Make you Wiser, Smarter, and Better Thinker” Can give you millions of views, thousands of comments, and hundreds of new followers.
But writing about “How to ghostwrite for a C-level executive as a part-time ghostwriter in your 20s without having any prior writing experience ” Might not give you the views, comments, and followers you want.
Aka, you may not go viral writing about the second headline!
The reason? How many people out there want to become part-time ghostwriters in their 20s for C-level executives? Certainly, not that many!
And that’s why writing about such a topic won’t make you go viral. But writing about the first headline (10 books…) can certainly make you go viral.
The reason?
First, it’s a broad topic (book) second it tries to appeal to a broader audience since it doesn’t define who the headline is for… (that will make “You”…) This means, you’re the audience (if you come across the headline.)
- A student can be the audience of that headline.
