How to Make a Viral Post on Steemit [Satire]

in #steemit8 years ago

Have a big beautiful headline for each one of your sections!

Have an awesome looking thumbnail to show how interesting you are and your love for adventure.

The next step is to have multiple sections with a ton of pictures and text content. The longer the post and the more pictures and text you have the better. Most people won't read most of the information in detail and will just look at the distracting pictures. The more fantastical the pictures and content, the higher chance you have of becoming viral. Just go ahead and throw some random pics in there.

Eye catching section titles! Make sure people notice this!

You might need to go to a thesaurus to look up words. Or maybe consult the 30 powerful adjectives and words for eye-catching headlines. You could drop names like Elon Musk, or Bill Gates, but what I found works best is to target something in popular culture such as Pokemon Go.

Learn from the top posts

If the top posts have pics of cats in them, its probably a good idea to have a cat picture here or there.

Build an app for steemit

If you want to make a lot of money you could try building an entire app or library for steemit, but you're probably just trying to make some quick cash so that's probably not something you are very interested in.

Make sure you talk about the latest trends!

See an eye catching post that is trending? Tired of all of those bots? Write a post about it! Always make sure to use buzzwords to catch people's attention so that they upvote you - synergy, innovation, data science, hard fork of the ethereum blockchain. You are sure to attract peoples' attention and time by writing posts like these.

Endorse a controversial viewpoint and watch people flock

Not a fan of Trump? Well it's time to become one if you want to make some money on steemit. Write about how you support each and every one of Trump's most controversial ideas, and you will definitely rile up Hillary supporters and people from the left wing.

Post pictures of hot people

A great advertising tactic used by industries all the time is to post pictures of hot people. Doesn't matter if these pictures have nothing at all to do with your content, just slap them on there and watch the $$$ roll in.

Write about something extremely recent that happened in the crypto community

A great starting point would be to take a look at Ethereum, there is always something going on in that community! News about bitcoin is also a good place to look!

Post your old term papers on steemit

Have something laying around on an old flash drive from ages ago? Want to make some extra income on it? Just paste the paper into steemit and watch the money roll in!

Travelled to an exotic place in the past year?

If you have been fortunate enough to have travelled to exotic places in the past make a post of it, these type of posts have definitely made a ton of $$$ in past!

Here is a photo I took when I went to a Hindu temple:

Market! Market! Market!

Make sure you cross post on all of the big blogs and social media networks - WordPress, Medium, Facebook, Twitter. Get the largest audience to see your post.

Make sure you hashtag a ton!

Hashtag things that don't even have the slightest to do with your post and always make sure these hashtags are bold and large on your page.

#blog #fashion #steemit #crypto #hashtags #money #lilwayne #goteem #pokemon #apple #microsoft #windows #walls #people #flags #trending #new #active #life #meme #bot

Don't forget to mention the names of well known steemit users

@dan @ned @xeroc @stellabelle @heiditravels @cryptoctopus @tuck-fheman @dantheman @donkeypong @steemservices @pfunk @steemrollin @nextgencrypto

Still not viral yet?

Keep on posting and approaching things from different angles! Maybe do a post with a twist on a popular viewpoint! Surely you'll make it someday!

Don't forget to thank your readers

Thank you for making me possible! Thank you for being there to read my posts! I am extremely grateful towards you - my audience! (The list goes on)

Lastly always participate in the comments, and just have a good time! :)

Good overview of current trends on steemit.

I can't figure out how to make the headers. Is there a tutorial? Should I year third party editor?

Here is a Markdown Guide if you put a '#' before your header it will show up as a large header, '##' will show up as a smaller header and so on

Excellent satire, I hope this goes viral :-)

Thank you for the input! I as well hope this goes viral (of course)! :D

This is my favorite post all day! I actually thought about that old term paper idea!

Reply with: "Great post! I look forward to reading more from you!" even though you just read the headlines and looked at the pics... XD

thank you for the article, hope I did it well :)
