How To Make A Post on Your Blog Go Viral with Rohan Dhawan

Welcome to another episode of the Real Fast Results podcast! 
This is a very special episode that you’re going to love.  You
are going to learn how to make a post on your blog go viral! 
The coolest part is that, potentially, you can actually do this
with the blog that you have right now.  You know, almost all
of us have blogs and most of these are dormant blogs.  You
probably don’t do much with yours, and neither does the rest of the
world.  Of course, this isn’t helping you or your business.
Mr. Rohan Dhawan is an absolute expert when it comes to
taking a blog and making it go viral, or more specifically, the
posts that you purposefully engineer to do so.  He is
going to share his secrets with you during this presentation. 
So, let’s get started… Viral marketing means creating any
piece of content (i.e. video, blog posts, etc.) and having it get
shared by large amounts of people multiple times at a rapid
pace.  The funny cat video that you saw on the
Internet, that’s an example of viral marketing.  Viral
marketing can help marketers get a high amount of traffic that they
can use to gather leads, make sales, or do just about anything they
want.  The best part about viral marketing is that it’s very
simple to implement. Another advantage is that not many people are
using it right now.  In today’s world, everybody is so
busy.  They do not have time.  You really need to grab
people’s attention and viral posts do that job for you. 5 Tips To
Make Your Blog Posts Go Viral I will be sharing my personal
“Top 5” tips that I personally use to make my blogs go viral.
The first step is to be creative with your posts
by using list-based articles, quizzes, and videos.  I will be
going into much more detail about these later. The second
step is using catchy titles as click baits. 
The third step is using Google Trends and YouTube Trends
Dashboard to get viral content from other people and using
it for your own. The fourth step is making use of social
media, especially Reddit, Facebook, and Pinterest.  I
just love these platforms. They’re amazing, and have really huge
potential to make your content go viral. The fifth step is
enjoying that viral traffic and actually making money with
it by putting AdSense ads or using Taboola/Outbrain
ads. These are a new set of ads that were recently introduced.
You can use these ads to your advantage in order to make more
profit.  I have personally done that, and I want to
help you earn money with viral posts. Rohan's Successful
Viral Marketing Campaigns One of my niche websites that I started
in 2014, used to receive about 60 visitors every day. After
I implemented these 5 steps, my blog went from 60 visitors per day
to 49,900 visitors within 24 hours. I have that case study
up on my blog. Not only that, Dr. Scott Brown of
WorryFreeWealth.com is one of my greatest students.  He has
implemented these steps so well that he was able to receive $0.01
per post engagement on Facebook ads when he promoted his viral
posts. Because of that, he was able to drive a lot of traffic to
his website. I wasn’t prepared for the 49,900 visitors to my
website.  My server actually crashed.  I received a
notification from HostGator saying that, “You really need to
upgrade your server or we will have to suspend your account.” 
One thing is important, you have to be prepared for
increased traffic to your website. Step 1 - Be Creative
With Your Blog Posts The first step is being creative with your
blog posts by using list-based articles, quizzes, and videos. 
List-based articles were introduced by BuzzFeed.  If you go to
their website right now, you can see the 10 most replicated
articles by ViralNova, which ended up making millions of
dollars.  ViralNova was started by one guy, and within a few
years, he was making millions of dollars with his website. 
Viral posts contain headings that explain the article in
detail.  This leaves the readers more entertained
while providing the reader with valuable information. When you
Google something, you usually find 12 articles from their keywords,
detailed in 1,500 words. But, that is boring.  In
today’s world, you need to work hard to grab people’s attention,
and list-based articles do that job.  You can also
use quizzes and videos.  If you find a video that is shared a
lot on YouTube, you can embed that video on your own blog and write
some details about it. If that video is related to your niche, you
can promote it and let it go viral since people have already showed
interest in that video. If you share that video on your blog, even
more people will look at your blog. Step 2 - Use Catchy Titles The
second step is using catchy titles. The first impression
that people get of your post comes from your title. 
Titles are very, very important. Your title should make the person
viewing it curious.  You can make the title a question or use
list-based posts in order to make the titles attractive.  For
example, if there is a video that was trending on YouTube, and I
posted it on my blog I can make the title something like
“Watch!  I cannot believe this happened!”  I use a title
like that to pique the curiosity in the mind of the user. If your
post is a list-based post, you can use a title like “Top Paid Ads
to Market on Social Media” or “10 Things I Did to Get 3,000 leads
in 4 days”.  Titles like that make a person click on that
particular link, which is our initial goal. Creating the
title for your post is something you should spend a lot of time
on. It’s psychology.  The best part of this is that
these titles can be used in any niche.  You do not have to be
in a particular niche for this to work.  Scott, one of my
students, used this in the finance and investment niche.  I
did it in the education niche.  People can do it in any
subject. Step 3 - Find Viral Content The third step is finding the
viral content.  In order to find viral content, you
can use some free tools that are available on Google and
YouTube.  The first tool is Google
Trends.  Google Trends allows you to find terms that
are being searched the most in various countries and
categories.  You can sort the results based on country. Such
as the United States, the United Kingdom, or India, and based on
various categories, such as “business” or “entertainment”. 
You can instantly find viral content for whatever niche you are in.
Finding the terms that are being searched the most allows
you to find the best ideas for your next post.  Keep
in mind that you use these viral posts for inspiration.  You
don’t want to actually copy every word of the viral post because
Google will not rank you on their website. Just use these posts for
inspiration.  Using these posts can do wonders.  People
have already shown interest and they will keep showing interest
until the trend is over. The second tool is YouTube
Trends.  With this tool, you can find the videos that
are either being shared the most or being viewed the most on
YouTube according to country, age, and gender.  There is the
option to choose niche preferences and find a video that suits your
niche.  Find the videos and embed them on your blog by copying
and paste the web address. It is a very simple process.  Make
sure that you explain that video in the text below it so that
people know what’s going on and they actually share that video.
What you are doing is curating content that is already
proven to be viral, and adding to it additional explanations and
your own content and insights.  If you’re using the
words and thoughts of others, it is always a good practice to give
them credit.  It’s what news websites do every day. They take
a piece of content and creating different forms of it. People are
viewing it, and these websites are getting millions of views. 
Why can’t you get a piece of this action and get more visitors to
your website?  Why let the big guys take all of the action
when you can do it as well. It’s essential that you
approach all of this with integrity.  Link back to
where you got the post and give proper credit.  I also
recommend that you have a contact form so that those people who
actually own that content can contact you.  That way, if there
is a problem, you can just remove the content from your blog. 
If you write them back, there will not be a problem.  But,
usually, they want their content to go viral and they want it to be
shared.  Everybody wants publicity. Step 4 - Use Social Media
To Share Your Content The fourth step is making use of social media
to share this content.  The top sites that I love
using to share my viral content are Facebook, Reddit, and
Pinterest.  These websites have the highest potential
to make anything go viral instantly.  But, it really depends
upon your goal.  For example, if your niche has more of a
female audience, then you should focus more on Pinterest because a
majority of its users are female.  If you have a more
generalized niche, you can post it on Facebook and Reddit. I have a
free course that I’m offering in which I teach people how they can
more than 1,000 followers in seven days.  You can check that
out as well.  Facebook is very simple. 
Once you have a post ready, you have to just post on your
fan page or share it on your personal profile, link it back to your
friends, and you can also share it on blogs.  These
are three methods that you can use, unless they already have a post
that’s performing very well. Another method you can use that you
don’t have to pay for is use Google’s ad system to send it out to a
lot more people.  If you already know that your post is
performing well, then it will perform well for a mass audience when
they see it. This is how your posts will go viral, this is how they
will get shared, and this is how you will eventually achieve your
goals.  Now comes the Reddit part. Reddit is a great website,
and if you’re lucky enough to get ranked on the first page, then it
is likely that website will just crush it within an hour or
two.  That’s the potential of Reddit.  That’s the amount
of traffic that it can bring. But, it’s really tough to get ranked
on the first page. However, you don’t even have to get ranked
on the first page to make Reddit work for you.  You
can use Reddit’s search tool to find sub-reddits that are related
to your niche.  For example, if I’m into sports, I
can simply type in “sports” on Reddit, and I can find various
sub-reddits.  I can then click on those sub-reddits and add my
link and share it across the community. If the people in that
community find it interesting, they will click on the link and
visit your website. Last is Pinterest. Pinterest is great. 
All you have to do is create informative pins and share
them on Pinterest. To create such pins, you can use free
software like Canva.com.  It’s a free design tool, and I
highly recommend it. You can also hire a graphic designer, but I
highly recommend just using the free method if you’re just starting
out.  I’m sure Pinterest has good potential to make your pin
go viral and drive more traffic to your blog. You should explore
other options as well.  It really depends on where your target
audience is present.  You have to do your research on
your target audience.  You have to do your homework
and find out where your audience is present online.  What I
like to do is create an image of my top customer, and I give that
person a random name and then assign some characteristics to it,
such as where that person would spend most of his/her time. 
Then, I focus on them and I talk to that person accordingly. 
Once I have created that image, I can target multiple people
similar to that person.  The fourth step is all about finding
the right platform and marketing your blog post there. Step 5 -
Making Money From Viral Traffic The fifth step is taking
the viral traffic that you get and making money off of it by using
AdSense or Taboola.  I believe AdSense is the best
platform to make money off of these viral websites because AdSense
is ready to show ads according to what your website or blog is
about.  You don’t have to go search for affiliate products or
something like that.  AdSense does that job for you. 
Google takes everything into consideration and shows people the ad
that they will definitely click on.  So, if you have 100,000
people visiting your website, your earnings are probably going to
be massive. You also have the option of using a new ad system
that’s called Taboola, or a similar system that is called
Outbrain.  These systems show viral posts on your
website.  For example, you can add to your blog posts the code
of Taboola or Outbrain.  The blog posts are constructed in a
way that people will want to click on them.  Every time
someone clicks on these posts, you make money.  People can
integrate it on their websites, or anywhere they want.  It is
just that simple. The only downside to this is that you have to
have at least 100,000 views to your site per month in order to be
able to access these platforms.  These platforms want
high-quality traffic on their customers’ websites.  They don’t
want just any random person to integrate their system onto their
website by selling traffic.  They want quality traffic, and
this is something that you can consider once you are on a more
advanced level.  I highly recommend that when you’re
starting out, use AdSense.  Then, you can use Taboola
and Outbrain. For example, if I’m reading an article about how to
make money online, I would automatically see a post by
Taboola or Outbrain telling me, “These are the top 5 ways to
make money instantly.”  This is how these platforms
drive traffic to other people’s websites, and every time somebody
clicks on those links, you get paid. If you have a course
or another type of product, you can also have a lead magnet or
something similar installed on your website to generate leads or to
make sales.  It all depends on your goals, and viral posts
help you to achieve these goals. Recap of Steps To Make Your Blog
Posts Go Viral The first step is being creative with
your blog posts by using list-based articles, quizzes, and
videos.  Use list-based titles like BuzzFeed and ViralNova.
The second step is to use creative titles as click
baits.  The first impression of your blog post is
based on the title.  The title should be as attractive as
possible.  An example is “Ten Things I Did to Get 3,000 Leads
in 4 Days”. The third step using Google Trends and YouTube
Trends to get viral content.  You can get viral
content that’s being viewed the most and use that content to cause
your blog post to go viral on the Internet. The fourth step
is making use of social media.  Find your target
audience.  Find where your target audience is present
online.  Once you find your audience, target them on the
websites.  Start by using free methods first, and once you are
successful on them, you can use the paid systems available to you.
Reddit, Facebook, and Pinterest have their own ad systems.
Fifth, enjoy the increased traffic to your blog and make
money by practically doing nothing.  You can use
AdSense, Taboola, or have your lead magnet to sell your
products.  Do whatever you want to make money from the huge
amount of traffic that you obtain. Connect With Rohan There is a
