Follow These Exact 4 Steps to go Viral and Hit Writer’s Jackpot Like I did
Why going viral will change your writer's career forever
I’m gonna give you the exact steps to hit writers jackpot.
My viral story went bonanza leading to 12k claps, 76K views and 44k reads. It granted me $4.000 from your attention.
It’s an ultra dopamine infused ride that makes 10 people liking your Tweet feel like a mouse squeaking in the desert.
Like to experience viral porn too?
We’re not even talking about the cash involved. That’s the cherry on the cake.
This is how I did it and what you can copy to get the dope ride of your life, changing your writing career forever.
Believe and challenge yourself
If you continue to put in the work, show up, write those words every-single-day, you-will-get-rewarded.
Yeah, you heard this a thousands time, but it doesn’t make it less true.
You’ll only manage to show up when you believe in yourself. Period, not a shadow of a doubt.
But there is secret corridor to gold you’ll only find by doing.
Your writing will and must improve by showing up daily. This is what Medium and writing for the platform have shown me so far. It’s the most honest and pure platform out there in virtual content land.
Put your intention to write for 3 months in a row right now. One piece a day.
You can do this.
By challenging yourself you’ll learn more about discipline. It also will improve your focus. Your unbendable attention is a key muscle to train to go viral.
Create your platform first
These are your true followers, your rookies, fans, groupies
The sexy women that will try everything for a short ride through your fantastic brain.
When you have 10 true followers that read your work like going to Mekka, you’re almost there.
It’s what masters on this platform like August Birch tell you repeatedly: You need to create your platform first so when you open your shop you have people waiting outside in line to buy your art.
My first book fell out of the blue heaven for aspiring debut novel writers and… nobody was standing there to catch it.
There is much to say about blogging first to create your fan base and then write your first novel. Going viral will accelerate this process like a Lambo overtaking Biden reading a press release.
Be naked
The piece I wrote that ejected me to the author's heaven makes me pretty naked. It has all the ingredients to bake the perfect Medium cake.
Life lessons offering valuable wisdom and really useful takeaways, combined with nutty phrases, and some humour to keep it balanced. And well written with tons of energy
Strip yourself and your writing from access fat. People have an attention span of 8–15 seconds.
Naked true raw stuff will make people read your story when it's written with fire in your ass crack.
Don’t give readers time to check another tab, keep them by the balls with your power words.
Keep fighting and don’t surrender
I was fighting for 3 years to get my book to the masses. First I had to write it, then work out the process of self-publishing. Hundreds of hours of work spent writing to publishers, sending the manuscript, waiting for the inevitable rejection, organizing my launch, distributing the books myself, Social Media.
All that effort took 3 bloody years. And was not rewarded, financially.
I invested $10,000 — I had the book translated into English. I learned how to publish on Amazon. And I sold 200 copies so far there.
I was fighting all the time, to make it. And I didn’t receive enough reward.
The gold in all these experiences for you to take away is;
All your previous writer’s struggle and consequent lessons will bring you to a point where writing your viral blog on Medium will feel effortless.
It is the crest of a huge creative wave that will take time to build.
And it's all worth it when you surf towards that sunset with the sound of a stadium full of people reading your one blog in your waterproof ear pods.
The one issue with going Viral
Here comes the only downside of becoming a Medium Rock star and having your laptop exposed in the Hard Rock Cafe after you died a heroic Writers death.
Will you be able to maintain that level?
Will they still embrace you with fresh new claps and reads? Can you ever bear the sight of VIEWS 86 READS 34 CLAPS 3?
A wave is a wave. A crest is a crest. You’ll probably experience a descent in claps and reads, and be OK with that. Realize that you’re already building a new wave, when you keep writing, to reach a new Medium orgasm.
Keep on working on your wave, know that it is a wave, and that showing up creates that wave. It can arise quite unexpectedly. Writing anything that sticks out will feel like you’ve reached a new level of quality.
Work towards that level, learn from each and every piece.
They are the water that will make the top. And when you finally get there, wave to me, please. I might be just at the bottom again and need it.
