A sensational article
Do you have something very very very important to say? Do you think that the article you are going to write will or could have a strong impact to others? Well, if this is the case you’re very lucky: it happens once in a million. How could you make sure that the article or revelation you’re going to make will have a lasting impact on your blog, on your business, on you?
Here comes in handy preparation and self-promotion. First, take a breath. Then, if you’re ready, write the article in the most perfect manner you could ever imagine. But that is just the beginning. Before publishing it you’ve got to make sure that people will talk of you!
To do this, scan the Internet and look for sites and blogs pertaining the article you’re writing, or that may be interested in publishing a reminder to it. Once you’ve collected them, try sending them the link as soon as you publish the article: if you can, write directly to this sites by sending the article. Or is the article more than sensational? In that case you might also be interested in sending it to newspapers and media agencies, provided that that articles is really, really, really impressive.
Do you want an example? Ok. Several weeks ago Darren Rowse talked about his earnings: in one month he did more than $10,000 with Google Adsense. By that, he was on the mouth of everybody in a very few hours and he was even Slashdotted that day.
This gave him an incredible boost of visitors and subscribers, and I’m pretty sure that this had a lasting effect on his online activities.
He probably didn’t look for such popularity when writing that post: however, if you do, you may achieve sudden popularity if you’re talking on something very significant or very impressive.
