How to make your content viral? (Part 2)

#1 – Not checking for spelling and grammatical mistakes
Nothing turns people off more than going back to something they couldn’t finish reading because of annoying spelling errors, grammatical goof-ups, or poor sentence structures. It makes you look like an amateur who can’t write correctly. Instead of wasting your time writing useless content that nobody will bother to read, spend some time making sure that what’s written is error-free. Proofread it as many times as possible before submitting it online, or else don’t post it at all. Readers these days are smart enough to figure out whether the writer has zero control over language usage or not!

#2 – Publishing boring stuff
Unless you are a famous personality, no one cares what you have to say! If your content is boring, then there’s no point in wasting people’s time by expecting them to pay attention to something which goes against their very own interests. On the other hand, if your writing style is exciting and manages to capture readers’ interest right from the start of a post or article, they will remember it for a long. After all, this is how word-of-mouth works – share something fascinating with one person who tells other people about it and so on. This is precisely what famous writers are doing and why they continue getting paid for their work regularly.

#3 – Not keeping track of stats
If you don’t know what’s working and what isn’t, there’s no point in spending time on writing stuff that doesn’t attract traffic from search engines, readers, or even social media sites. For example, if you are posting catchy headlines and writing some great body texts but can’t get visitors to your blog/website because all the backlinks are dead, then there’s a huge problem somewhere that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

#4 – Not giving credits
If someone writes excellent content and you want to share it with others, don’t copy-paste it verbatim. At least mention the source where you downloaded this information or give credit by allowing other people to know who wrote it. This is a simple courtesy that should be extended to everyone who has contributed to making your content better than before.

#5 – Not asking for feedback
Any writer who thinks that they are good at writing just because they have done it in the past or written a whole lot of stuff needs to think again. Writers should always ask for feedback from others, especially those who are paid to do so. Bloggers and website owners can also give thumbs up to other people’s work by giving them credits where it’s due. This helps create more awareness about your site among peers and people in your social circle as well.
