Swine Flu Viral With Blogging

I’m sure you’ve heard the term “viral marketing” being bandied all over the Internet a few times by now. But what does it really mean? At its core, viral marketing is simply another way for saying “publicity”.

In the real world, a company or an individual can create publicity by dispensing information to few but influential media outfits.

Achieving publicity online however – making something go viral – is a lot more complex because what is news-worthy is decided by an unpredictable and fickle mass of people.

There is no sure-fire formula on how to make something go viral. However, you can start by creating awesome content on your blog. Post about unique people and objects.

Use current events to your advantage and if possible, stay ahead of the news. Publishing something big that’s not even off the press yet will guarantee your post viral status.

Once you have that great post, make sure that you let people know about it.

Spread the link on all major social networking sites:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Digg,
• Stumbleupon
• … and some more

Also know in advance who the influential bloggers in your niche are; you will want to tell them about your post and invite them to write about it as well.

When a person starts telling five people about your content, and then the five people each tell five more people they know and so on, you will know that you’ve been successful. It spreads like swine flue… Good luck!

3 Reasons To Never Come Back To Your Blog

When I go through blog posts I still discover some issues that prevent people like me to read further or to subscribe to the RSS feed or even to come back again!

I have put together some things I like to be taken into account when you try to reach real people and make them curious about you and the content you provide within your blog.

1. The way your blog look like!

It’s nothing wrong to use a premade free template. It’s ok. But you still should invest some more additional time to make it more custom. This is not so difficult how it sounds. To change some graphics and the background and font colour can give your blog a unique look. Think about it! Here you can find some great tips on how to customize your blog.

2. Too MANY ads!

Ads here and ads there, ads are everywhere! Sometime I have the impression that I am going to become blind of the flood of ads in some blog.
Hey folks, I know you want to monetize your content and that’s OK! But do not frighten your visitors with a massive flood of ads.

How Balzac once said: ‘Less is more!’

3. Hey you, how do you look like?

I come to blogs, read the blog post I am interested in and I am curious how the person who wrote it maybe look like. I click the about me page, and I see … NO Picture! Mhhhh …. Why do you have no picture of you on your blog?

People do business with people not with a phantom! I prefer to know how the people I have find an article read worthy looks like. What do you think, does it makes sense?

You NEVER get a second chance to make the first impression!
