Just Wrote My First Buzz Feed Post – Have You Checked It Out?

Last night I decided it was time to branch out my blogging onto some new platforms, more as a social experiment than anything else.

My question is; If a post is well written and appeals to a very specific audience, will your blog get shared? Or, as I suspect, does it need to be posted on a well known site such as Buzz Feed or The Huffington Post to REALLY get shared?

This post that I wrote last night has been viewed over 1,000 times in less than 8 hours, so while I’m not 100% sure what the answer to my question is yet, I’m beginning to get a pretty good idea.

My challenge for the next 24 hours is to get my ‘Community Post’ noticed by one of the Buzz Feed editors in the hope it will become a ‘Featured Post’. If I play my cards right, like Matthew Barber did, I might even get a few extra hits back to my blog. Wish me luck!
