10 Hot Article Topics That Get 1.8M Views Every Month

Data-driven viral topics that are blowing up right now

Using two tools, Exploding Topics, and AhRefs, I discovered ten hot article topics that are blowing up right now.

What does that mean for you? It means that you can write articles on these topics to drive more traffic and make more money. You can use the viral “parent” topics to spin off dozens of articles.

I’m going to show you exactly how I found them, step-by-step.

While there is no guarantee that you’ll make a million dollars, the tools I used validated all of these topics by the best data available.

How I Found the Ten Hot Article Topics

Exploding Topics is a free website that tracks trending topics. AhRefs is a paid keyword search tool. AhRefs is expensive — like $90 a month expensive. But it works.

You can get approximate search volumes and scope out the competition.

I’ve used these tools to:

• Get an article about SNL on the first page of Google search results.
• Write semi-viral articles that make me hundreds of dollars per month.

So, the tools definitely work for me.

For this article, I used the tools to find ten topics that get 1.8 million views every month.

10 Trending Parent Topics

To find the ten trending “parent” topics, I logged onto ExplodingTopics.com. Then I filtered for positive growth over the past 12 months. Finally, I compared the growth to the monthly search volume.

Here is what I found:

1. Substack — 3100% growth with 9.9K searches per month
2. Core Web Vitals — 2300% growth with 2.6K searches per month
3. Nexo Card — 99X+growth with 150 searches per month
4. Living Wall — 51% growth with 9.9K searches per month
5. Evoretro — 5900% growth with unknown searches per month
6. Sleep Gummies — 44% growth with 14.8K searches per month
7. Prime gaming — 1000% growth with 110K searches per month
8. Onlyfans — 455% growth with 1.83M searches per month
9. Massage gun — 120% growth with 201K searches per month
10. Gaslighting — 36% growth with 673K searches per month

Keep in mind that the tools approximate “searches per month.” The real searches are usually much different, usually much higher.

These are what I call “parent” topics. You can write about them just as they are, but to really blow up your stats, you need more than trending topics. You need trending topics with little to no competition.

That’s how you dominate the topic, get traffic, and make money.

10 Topics That Might Drive Massive Traffic

To find low competition versions of the trending topics, I turned to Ahrefs. I plugged all ten topics into the “keyword explorer” feature, hit the search button, and Ahrefs delivered hundreds of possible ideas related to the “parent” topics.

Next, I narrowed down the search results by filtering for low competition. Low competition scores mean that you can rank these “subtopics” easier. The lower the score, the easier to rank.

All of these money-making topics have a competition score of ten or lower. Most have a score of zero.

Here are ten hot article topics that can drive traffic to your work or website:

1. Substack competitors — competition score of zero
2. How to improve core webs vitals — competition score of zero
3. How to get a nexo crypto loan card — competition score of zero
4. Artificial living wall — competition score of zero
5. Evoretro — competition score of zero
6. Kids sleep gummies — competition score of three
7. Twitch prime gaming loot — competition score of zero
8. Onlyfans hack — competition score of zero
9. Massage gun amazon — competition score of three
10. Gaslighting parents — competition score of eight

To summarize, these ten article topics are low competition with a strong likelihood of high monthly search volumes. Not only that, but based on the available data, the topics also promise to trend even higher.

There are, of course, no guarantees. Use these topics to write articles that are likely to drive you tons of traffic and make you money.

How To Crush the Competition

Now that you know the ten trending “parent” topics and ten low-competition subtopics, you possess more than enough data to write traffic-generating articles.

However, you can take a few more steps to crush your competition. Your competition is anyone else writing about the same topic or subtopic.

Follow these quick tips to crush the competition:

• Write longer articles than they do. Studies show that longer articles get higher rankings on Google. Shoot for articles of 2,000 or more quality words.
• Use the topic — such as “Onlyfans hack” — in the title of your article, ALT text on your images, and a few times in the body of your article. This is basic SEO to help Google rank your article.
• Provide more examples, templates, and tables than any competing articles.
• Answer more of the reader’s questions about the topic.
• Use informative images and videos to add value.
• Format your article with more “white space”, shorter paragraphs, and regular divisions such as subheadings. An article that is easier to read is a better article.

Final Thoughts

When I first started researching topics for this article, I didn’t know what I would find. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by the results. I even found a keyword phrase or topic that resonated with me. I stashed it away to write a future article.

Not only am I excited about the topics I discovered, but I’m even more thrilled that one or more of these topics might help you write the next viral article that makes you tons of money.
