The secret to get your blog post shared 1000 times

You’ve seen that headline before, right? Or something very similar…10 things to NEED to do to every post, The best way to get more shares…

And it comes with a list of all the things you need to be doing to make sure your post takes off like a rocket.

• Write your title a certain way
• Add beautiful visuals
• Tweet, pin, Instagram, Facebook, Google
• Optimize for search engines
• Add a ‘click to tweet’
• Create the perfect Pinterest graphic
• Join online communities to share your post
• Share it again a week later
• Share it again a month later

But the secret to creating blog content that spreads like wildfire….

Write some really good shit.

It doesn’t matter how many of those things you do, if your post isn’t highly valuable or stirs up some controversy, you’re not gonna get anywhere near 1000 shares. So don’t worry so much about all the stuff you think you need to do (and Pinterest and Twitter are saying you MUST do) and focus on high quality content.

Who are your people? What do they need to hear? What drives them crazy? What are they obsessing over? What are people talking about in the news?

Nail one of those things and your post will get shares whether you promote it like mad or send out a few tweets and call it good.
