How to create Viral content for your blog


Content written by Walter Dublin 

   Boom! You created the world’s next big viral content site. You have a
great name, solid content, and enough server bandwidth to support the
entire population of North America viewing your site concurrently.
However, you don’t know how to structure your content pages for
maximum user engagement.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and while we don’t know
how accurate that statement is, we do know that content featuring
impactful images garners at least 30% more shares on social media than
those without images. Gallery or slideshow pages are a great way to
display image-driven content and provide a significant uplift in page
views per user.

Here are 6 tips for optimizing your gallery pages for maximum
performance.

1. Is the slideshow format effective for your content?
While galleries give your users a sense of control, they also require
continuous interaction with the page. Before you turn your content into a
slideshow, ask yourself these questions:
When is it effective to use a gallery?
Does your content feature instructions with clear steps?
Do you have an image for each concept?
Do you have more than 4 items but less than 20?
Will breaking up the content improve readability?
If you can’t answer those questions with a “yes,” the slideshow format
may not be appropriate for your content.

2. Create interesting titles that encourage clicks.
Keep in mind that, for the user, navigating through your gallery content
can be a pretty big time commitment. To keep them clicking through, you
need to create an irresistible title. By creating an impactful and relevant
title, your audience will be drawn to work their way through your content.
Here are a few methods to consider:
Benefits are always a plus

8 Ways to Find Your Inner Peace in a Chaotic World
Curiosity is also very effective

14 Incredible Uses for Paperclips

Keeping your audience engaged and diving deeper into your site is key to
optimizing page views. Interesting titles are way more likely to grab their
attention than your standard title.

3. Create compelling content!!!
Above all else, your content must be compelling! You can’t just slap a
photo on a page and expect to hold your audience’s attention for long.
The goal is to get the user to navigate your entire slideshow to optimize
for page views. Establish your quality from the beginning – make sure
that every slide has solid content, period.

4. Mobile is the future, so don’t neglect the small screen!
eMarketer reports that in 2017, mobile ad spend is projected to blow
past display, posting $35.62 billion in ad spending compared to the
desktop’s $27.21 billion. OPA also reports that mobile ads in native
format drive 4X higher click-through rates than mobile banner ads and
are viewed 53% more frequently by consumers.
What I’m getting at is mobile is where it’s at! Make sure that your site is
properly optimized for mobile. Larger font sizes and navigation buttons
are key to increasing readability and user engagement. If your users can’t
access your content on mobile, you’re missing out on a major
opportunity.

5. For increased monetization, keep it short.
In our experience, we’ve found that the sweet spot for proper
monetization is between 4 – 10 page views per user. Only 30% of users
complete a gallery session longer than 10 slides. Experiment with multiple
layouts, and try adding more than one image per slide. Find what works
for your audience and roll with it, just don’t over-do it.

6. Don’t forget the sponsored content!
Our team at Revcontent takes pride in our reputation as the performance
leader in the native advertising space. We live performance, eat it, sleep
it- it’s what drives us every single day. So, trust me when I say that
galleries are the perfect place to monetize with sponsored content. There
are a few specific locations that work best for sponsored content
placement.

End of slideshow placements are some of the highest performing
placements that you can put your page. Why? Because it provides your
audience with a one-stop shop for the next intriguing piece of content for
them to feast on. Lower ad impressions but killer click-through rates.

Interstitial:
If you have to create a long gallery because your content is just too great
to abbreviate, consider adding sponsored content to break it up. This is a
great way to monetize the click since many people click off of the page
before completing a gallery session anyway. These placements are
particularly effective on mobile.

Below Content or Side Rail:
If your primary goal is monetization, sponsored content below the gallery
and side rail placements will be your most effective placements for
revenue generation. Ad visibility is at its highest in those placements and
almost assures a high level of engagement.
Galleries are a phenomenal way to make your content stand out.
Successful implementation and revenue potential rely purely on user
experience, compelling content, and proper sponsored content placements.
With the right format, you are well on your way toward taking over the
digital universe.

How to know if you are an entrepreneur or a wantrepreneur


   
          Content written by Lianne Martha Maiquez Laroya for lifehack.org
Nowadays people do not aspire to work for a big company and
climb the corporate ladder. They would rather reach for success
by having their own business. But there’s a huge difference
between entrepreneurs and wantrepreneurs, i.e. those who want
to be entrepreneurs but don’t quite pull it off:

           1. Entrepreneurs believe in themselves while
wantrepreneurs think it’s all about them
Wantrepreneurs think the business revolves around them.
Entrepreneurs believe in themselves, in their team. They know
they can’t do it alone, that their team is essential for the growth
and success of the business.

           2. Entrepreneurs keep moving while wantrepreneurs
keep complaining
Guy Kawasaki, founder of AllTop once said, “Ideas are easy.
Implementation is hard.”
Entrepreneurs make things happen, no matter how small a step
forward it is. Wantrepreneurs are always looking for excuses and
complain when it gets hard to get going.

         3. Entrepreneurs don’t let failures stop them while
wantrepreneurs easily get discouraged
Entrepreneurs take it from Steve Jobs who once said, “I’m
convinced that about half of what separates the successful
entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure
perseverance.”
Entrepreneurs carry on, learn from their mistakes and work it
off. Thomas Edison kept working on discovering the light
bulb after failing 1,000 times. Wantrepreneurs get discouraged
and stop altogether.

           4. Entrepreneurs aim to be the best while
wantrepreneurs aim to be rich
“Chase the vision, not the money; the money will end up
following you.” – Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos
Entrepreneurs work to be the best in their industry, to leave their
mark on the world. They believe in the adage passion before
profits. Money to them is just a side benefit, a prize for doing a
good job. Wantrepreneurs work only for the money.

         5. Entrepreneurs work hard for the business while
wantrepreneurs work hard for their image
According to Thomas Edison, “Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99%
perspiration.”
Entrepreneurs work hard to make their business a success.
They’re too busy with working to worry about what other people
think about them. Wantrepreneurs don’t have the patience to
work on the business. They look for shortcuts and prefer to spend
their time making people think they are already a success.

         6. Entrepreneurs work to get what they need while
wantrepreneurs wait for it to be given
“Any time is a good time to start a company” – Ron Conway,
Startup Investor, SV Angel
True entrepreneurs do not wait for funding or additional
resources to start and keep on going. They find ways to raise
capital and work to get additional funds. Wantrepreneurs don’t
do anything until they get the capital they think they need to get
the business off the ground.

         7. Entrepreneurs adapt to changes quickly while
wantrepreneurs call for meetings
When there are changes in the business environment,
entrepreneurs are able to act quickly to adapt, and often times
finding opportunities in the change, whether it is a better way of
doing something or tapping a previously unknown market.
Wantrepreneurs are often shaken by change and are too busy
discussing every little aspect of a change during meetings to
adjust on the changes. Therefore they are often left behind.

        8. Entrepreneurs innovate while wantrepreneurs
procrastinate
“You just have to pay attention to what people need and what has
not been done.” – Russell Simmons, Def Jam founder
Entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect idea to come to their
mind. They know it doesn’t have to be original or unique to make
it successful. Often the best idea is seeing the gap or the need to
improve on what already exists. And a lot of successful businesses
started with the entrepreneur needing something he/she couldn’t
find anywhere.
Wantrepreneurs, on the other hand, obsess about finding the
right idea or the next big trend that will get them rich quickly.

        9. Entrepreneurs are risk-takers while wantrepreneurs
are risk-averse
Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s famously said, “If you’re not a
risk taker, you should get the hell out of business.”
The business world is tough and only a handful survive the
cutthroat arena. Entrepreneurs are not afraid to risk their funds,
image, or business because they believe in their business, their
product. They know the risks involved and yet they put out.
Wantrepreneurs would rather bet on a sure thing.

       10. Entrepreneurs are driven by their passion while
wantrepreneurs are driven by someone else’s passion
“Choose a job that you like, and you will never have to work a
day in your life.” – Confucius
An entrepreneur is driven by his passion for his business. It is
something he loves to do, something he believes in.
Wantrepreneurs follow the trend, simply because it has proven
successful already.
