How to Make a Blog Post Go Viral

When a blog post goes viral it feels like everything you’ve worked for has finally paid off. But when more than one blog post go viral you’ve found a formula. A formula that can be used by any blogger to skyrocket their views.

Let’s dive in.

Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where we write about personal finance, side hustle ideas, entrepreneurship, and keep you posted on investing news. If you’re new to the blog be sure to subscribe to the newsletter.

How long did it take for a blog post to go viral?

Let’s start with a heavily asked question. How long does it take for a blog post to go viral? The answer is going to vary from person to person.

It personally took me a year and one month when my first post went viral. I went from earning 20-25 views per day to 1000-2000 views per day.

In February of 2021 I closed the month with almost 28K views. The crazy thing? Those views all occurred on the last week of February.

To put things into perspective, I had earned 634 views back in January, 2021. The most views I received in one month prior to my posts going viral was 1,183 views back in August of 2020.

Then this happened..

Soon after my first blog post went viral I decided to write another blog post in the SAME format.

Ladies and gentlemen, the post went viral. Now, it didn’t have the same success as my first viral post. For this reason I wrote a third one and it beat both of them.

Don’t settle with one viral blog post

My advise to you is to not settle with one viral blog post. If you find one of your blog posts goes viral, execute again and again.

You want to keep the momentum as much as you can.

By writing three viral blog posts I’m on track to earn 100K views by the end of April. I’ve been able to draw 74K views only three months into the new year.

It’s still a little mind boggling to me to be honest.

How many blog posts had you written prior to going viral?

I had written about 75 blog posts prior to going viral. These all varied from personal finance to side hustle ideas, entrepreneurship, and investment posts.

When I was seeing thousands of views per day I started remembering the crazy grind prior to the sweet o’ sweet victory.

My first year of blogging consisted of working on my blog after work. I would stay up past midnight working on my site, my branding, promoting, and new content.

So, as I write this post I am humbled and feel fortunate enough to guide you. This is how your blow your numbers out of the water.

Relevancy is key to take a blog post viral

Relevancy = Blog Post Viral
Relevancy = Viral

This is the #1 reason why a blog post goes viral. If you don’t write a piece on a topic that’s relevant or trending, chances are it will not go viral.

A viral post is based on current or recent news that has a lot of attention or buzz.

Find what’s trending or causing a disturbance in your niche topic.

Write your opinions about it on your blog. If your blog post requires information or facts to be presented, be sure to backlink all reliable sources.

Chances are the bigger fish are also writing about a relevant or trending story. If they have helpful information such as statistics or other catalogs of data, be sure to link to their pages.

This chain of network further enhances the relevancy of a relevant or trending story.

How long does a viral blog post have to be?

Viral Blog Post Word Count?
Franknez.com

My blog posts that went viral all contained between 1,000 and 1,300 words.

Does that mean yours have to have the same amount of words? Not exactly. It could be a little less or a little more depending on how much information you decide your blog post should contain.

Just make sure your blog post has the following:

  • Easy-to-read excerpts and paragraphs
  • Great headlines to separate your topics
  • Enough links to credible and reliable sources
  • And a lot of your genuine words and thoughts

My viral blog posts had a good mix of technical evidence as well as my own words and genuine opinions.

Let your readers know a human being is writing the post.

Create a compelling thumbnail and title

Your thumbnail is the first thing a reader is going to see, and the title is the first thing they’re going to read.

  1. Your thumbnail should sync with the topic of your blog post.
  2. The title should usually ask a question from the readers perspective.

This should be the fun part to creating a viral blog post. Get creative with it!

The thumbnail should captivate the reader and the title should resonate with what they’re thinking.

Once you read that a few times, you’ll be on your way to creating a simple yet attractive headline that will draw thousands of people to your website.

Now that you have a great article, chances are you’re already being found organically on search engines such as Google or Yahoo.

If you are, congratulations! Your blog post is answering peoples questions regarding a relevant or buzzing topic.

Now you need to join group chats and share your article to keep the momentum going.

Use Facebook groups, Discord, Reddit, and LinkedIn

Group chats are a great place for you to share your article because they tend to be a platform where a recent or trending story is being talked about 24/7.

Not only are you linking thousands to tens of thousands of people to your blog post, but you’re increasing your chances of your piece getting shared.

When your blog post is written well and people receive tons of value from it, they will share it on social media and further skyrocket your monthly visitors.

If you’re sharing on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, be sure to use the appropriate hashtags.

Ask relevant questions within your subheadings

Your subheadings are going to be very important when writing a viral blog post.

The key is to put yourself in your readers perspective and ask yourself, what kind of questions might they have related to the topic.

By asking questions your readers might have in your subheadings, your relevancy regarding the buzzing topic goes up.

Update your blog post during a developing story

If the relevant or buzzing story is a developing story, be sure to update your blog post frequently.

This will provide your readers with fresh content and keep you on the first page of search engines.

Also, don’t forget to update your publish date if the post is older than a few days to a week.

More tips to help your blog post get views

By the way, the webhost provider I’m using is Bluehost.

Bluehost has been able to take the sudden spike in views and visitors without a problem. I’ve read how other webhost providers end up crashing and unfortunately prevent your website from fully reaching bigger potential.

  • Make sure your SEO is close to 100% perfect. If you have Bluehost you’ll be able to see all the suggestions to publish a stronger blog post.
  • Choose one to three main keywords.
  • Keep your blog post above 900 words and turn the ‘Cornerstone Content’ option on.
  • Embed at least one video in your blog post
  • Write an alluring meta description to draw in your audience
  • Share your post on social media during different times of the day every day

  • Make sure your blog is monetized with ads
  • Use internal links to an affiliate post
  • Aim to write another viral blog post

How To Monetize Your Website With Google AdSense

Google AdSense is one of the most sought out programs to monetize your website. Its simple ad layout makes it an attractive choice for content creators. Lets break down how you can get approved for Google AdSense and start earning money from your content.

Why Google AdSense?

Google AdSense is super popular because they have the highest paying advertisers.

If you’re looking to monetize your blog then you’re naturally going to want to utilize the best means of producing income through your blog.

Can Anyone Advertise with Google AdSense?

Yes. If your blog or website meet the Google AdSense team’s requirements you will become eligible to start displaying ads such as the ones on this page!

Here are things your blog or website should have in order to get approved by Google AdSense:

Your Niche Should Stand Out

Before you begin to submit to Google AdSense, be sure your website is clear on what it’s about. Your niche should be easy to identify as Google’s team will thoroughly review it and assess the type of category you pertain to.

Avoid branching off into several topics that don’t relate to your niche. Google AdSense will not monetize your blog unless it is categorized properly.

Choose relatable images and accents to demonstrate what kind of blog you’re running visually.

Amazing Website Layout

Use Bluehost to monetize with Google AdSense

The layout of your website is very important. It must be easy to navigate and look professional.

Yellow background and blue text by all means is not an attractive web page. Be sure your website is simple, creative, and easy to use.

We recommend using a web hosting service company like Bluehost where all the tools you need to succeed will become available to you.

Bluehost is optimized for WordPress therefore your content will never come short of looking presentable. The website layouts are also incredible and easy to work with.

If you’re working towards getting your blog monetized by Google AdSense, you’ll need to use a professional webhost provider. And yes, a professional website costs money. This will be your first investment in your blog.

Trust me, it’s worth it.

Privacy Policy Page

A privacy policy is basically a statement that discloses the ways a party gathers, uses, and manages a customer’s or clients data. Your website must contain this information for legal circumstances.

You can find examples online in order to create a page detailing this legal statement on your website. Fortunately, Bluehost creates one for you. You’ll just have to do minor edits and publish it on your website.

If your website has been rejected by Google AdSense, perhaps you’ve come across the AdSense team advising your blog has no privacy policy page. This is essential to monetize your website.

It’s very simple, you can check out ours here.

Quality Content

Monetize with Google AdSense with a quality website

You must put out quality content with tons of value for your readers. Be genuine and think about your audience’s needs first.

The passion behind sharing valuable information to the world is so fulfilling as a content creator. Stay passionate and also get rewarded for it.

It is very important for your content to be original and genuine. If your website is plagiarized or shows little to no effort then it will not be approved for monetization.

Above all, have fun with it and speak directly to your audience!

Here are some ways you can ensure your blog is producing quality content:

  • Check your spelling and grammar
  • Include high quality images
  • Use a reputable webhost provider
  • Provide your readers with an easy -to-navigate layout
  • Use a theme that fits your niche

Lack of quality should be the last thing Google AdSense should be rejecting your blog for. Our suggestion would be to not cut corners.

Invest in your idea and vision. You can do this.

Sufficient Content

If your website does not have enough content, Google AdSense will reject your submission. What makes it difficult to get approved is that not only must you create quality content, but you must also create enough content to get recognized by the AdSense team as a serious content creator.

With so much competition out there, you must stand out and demonstrate why you’re worthy to monetize your website. The key is to be consistent.

Don’t rush publishing posts for this reason.

You’re better off taking as much time as you need creating great and useful content. Rushing into the process will only set you back.

How Can I Maintain Consistency?

  • Draft ideas on a blank word document
  • Identify how many times you want to publish a post (e.g. weekly, twice a week, monthly, etc.)
  • Write down your blog goals to stay motivated
  • Draw inspiration from everything and everyone around you

Stay motivated. Most bloggers give up within the first to three months. Keep blogging, and keep reaching your blogging goals!

Website Page Views

Your website must be generating enough traffic for Google AdSense to recognize the value of your content. Advertisers will not place ads on a website with little to no traffic.

Be sure you’re sharing your posts all over your social platforms in order to increase your website views and begin to earn a following. Get as much exposure as possible.

You can publish great content and enough content; however, if you aren’t directing traffic to your blog, Google AdSense will not allow you to monetize your website.

You can increase your traffic by:

  • Promoting daily on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn)
  • Growing your newsletter
  • Having supporters ‘share’ your content
  • Re-sharing to keep engagement and traction going
  • Consistently writing
  • Updating your SEO
  • Revising old posts
  • Get your posts featured on other blogs

Once your blog gets monetized by Google AdSense you’re going to want to continue taking these actions.

When your blog is running ads, you’ll want to increase your traffic as much as possible in order to make the most from advertisement income.

Readability

Your content must be fairly easy to read. Avoid improper use of grammar and spelling so be sure to always double check and proof read before publishing a new post. Google AdSense will not approve a website with even the slightest errors.

You can use a website like Word Counter to double check your writing before publishing a post to make sure everything looks great. It only takes a second to receive your results!

Contact & About Information

In order to present credibility, your website must contain a contact and about section. Include your email and social media outlets as well as a brief summary of yourself or your website.

Having a contact and about page shows you’re professional and are serious about your content. Readers want to know the person behind the blog so get creative with it!

Your contact info is a requirement to get your blog monetized by Google AdSense make sure you don’t miss it!

Be Consistent

Don’t give up if you get rejected by Google AdSense. You can always resubmit once you’ve fixed the errors detailed on your application.

Every rejection should push you to improve your website in order to reach your goal of monetizing your content. If you get approved instantly, amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing.

Google AdSense will often times advise which areas on your website you must continue to work on. Use these notices to your advantage. It may be easy to feel discouraged if you receive multiple emails from the AdSense team rejecting your application. Just know you’re one step closer to reaching your goal.
