- Definition
First above all, we need to figure out what is popular blog post. The definition depends on page view which is related to quantity of readership. For example, on UC we-media, if one blog is followed by 10 thousand followers, the definition of popularity is that its page view should be more than 100 thousands. If you have more followers, page view data should be higher accordingly.
Except UC we-media, if one blog post can be forwarded 10 thousand times on Facebook, basically it can be accounted the most popular.
Apparently, page view data on twitter is much higher than that on UC we-media. Therefore, we consider one post forwarded 10 thousand times as the most popular one.
- Features of popular blog post
There are two features, minimal requirements and same resonance.
Minimal requirements exist behind very popular things. There is a worldwide popular App called DUBSMASH which is a tool to let people grasp some kind of skills with minimum requirements. With this APP, ordinary people can shoot beautiful MV like stars to attract followers. One blog post becomes popular because the much easier your blog post being read and understood, the more popular your blog is. It is more possible to be popular, if one article is suitable for both old and young, even old ladies dancing in the square.
There should have the same resonance for followers as for blogger. It can be divided into positive and negative ones.
Positive resonance is an approval by others and easy to understand. One blogger has posted lots of articles about this specific local area, which struck responsively chords and finally be forwarded by nearly everyone in this whole area.
On the other hand, negative one means disapproval and is controversial. For example, some bloggers on social platform criticize any stars whoever is popular and hot. Consequently, this blogger will become much more popular due to this controversy. On this account, some people will write articles attracting satire on purpose in order to become popular.
- Why write the most popular blog post?
Even a writer hasn’t published a single popular blog post in a month. Problems could be solved by writing only one popular article. New followers are attracted, old followers are impelled to return and the blog is becoming more active.
Popular blog posts can catch strangers’ attentions, because they are disseminated by not only one platform, but also by others, like FB.
- Key points to write the most popular blog post
Blog is one of the fastest-growing means of mass communication.And how to write it seems to be a huge and complicate question. It is also totally different than traditional writing. Different blogger might have different answers. I will mainly focus on 3 points as following:
Before you writing anything, you should understand your followers and chose a topic first. What do they want to learn and which information you want to provide. For instance, if you are a fashion blogger and your followers are mainly young girls, then you should not write political topics.
It's no more than a platitude. Every blogger knows to make use of hot news. Big hot news could be discussed by the whole nation, consequently effectively and widely spread. The amplifying effect of hot news can strengthen the effect without limitation and attract more attentions exponentially. It is the easiest way to gain popularity.
The topic also needs to be interest for both you and your followers. No fun for you, no fun for your followers.
- Good and Original content
For a successful blog, the content should be useful and unique to your followers. Write about something you know much better than anyone. It’s just like you are a salesman, your readers are the clients. You need to figure out what they want and give it to them. Some blog readers just want to entertain themselves for fun and some may just want to learn information from you. Present your own passions, experiences and knowledge to your readers which would be unique. If readers can find same information from other blogs, you blog post might not be read. As a result of keep writing good and original content, the blog would be lively and vigorous. Don’t mind the current page view data.
Many people, who suddenly engage in this industry and intend to accomplish achievements in short term, bend their principles to cook up stories and spread rumors. I do not think that is a long-term plan, even if some stories can be written as tipsters. Your credibility and authority will take a major hit if you publish wrong and inaccurate information. Even if you have millions of followers, you will lose them at the end. Please be honest and accountable!
Now you have gotten a clear idea. Writing blog seems easy until you do it. It will get easier with time and practice. Hope you’ll be a successful blogger in no time.
