Free content for websites: How to create viral articles

It is very difficult to predict a best seller. Sometimes you suspect that a book will climb to best seller status and then it either disappoints or confirms your suspicions. On other occasions what looks like a very ordinary book surprises everybody and quickly lands on best seller status list. The bottom line is that it is not easy to predict. In the same way it is not easy to create a best seller article online which would be the kind of article that takes on a life of its own and goes crazily viral being forwarded and spread all over the World Wide Web.

And just like book publishers do, work on every single free website content article expecting it to go viral. What this means is that you should put in all the ingredients that go into a viral article. And since you are churning out a large volume of articles using the techniques that I recommend, the odds of you hitting the jack pot are dramatically increased.

Choose a controversial topic
Many articles that go viral usually start out with a very controversial topic. Controversy sells and it certainly has a pretty good chance of going viral. What are the most controversial topics in your industry? List them down and then think of controversial ways to handle them that will not affect your image as an expert in your field.

Humor triggers the viral effect
Have you noticed that most stuff that goes viral is humorous? Can you create some funny articles even as you produce tons of free website content articles for your site and site promotion in article directories?

Be really useful beyond expectations
We live in a world where people are constantly looking for ways to solve problems. Can you create articles that are useful to readers beyond their expectations? If you can then chances are that they will love you for it and spread the good word to their friends.

A viral strategy makes lots of sense online because the World Wide Web itself grew virally. And so incorporating a viral strategy into your free web content strategy is a decision that could pay huge dividends for you.
