In this post I am going to tell you and give examples of the most viral posts on Social Networks from my Blog , to try to find the cause or aspect that differentiates it from the rest.
The growth of social media has established it as an essential channel for any brand or business, but do we really know how to write viral posts for our blog?
It seems like yesterday when I started receiving the first visits from social networks and now I am on my way to exceeding 10,000 visits per month received from a single social network , specifically I am referring to Facebook .
Analysis of the 10 most viral posts on my blog
Total Social Bookmarks: 7,300
Facebook: 5,800
Twitter: 614
LinkedIn: 434
Google+: 420
In this article I make a complete compilation of some of the best teaching platforms where we can take courses completely free and without having to pay.
This is an article of around 2,000 words, and contains one image for each of the platforms mentioned.
For the featured image I chose the colors green, blue, orange and yellow because I think they are some of the most used colors in training and allowed for better identification and consonance with the theme.
The choice of the image is also very well thought out because these are online courses, and when we talk about training we always remember a book, so I thought why not introduce the book on the screen, to end with a certificate or diploma that closes the normal training process.
The title is designed and optimized for both SEO and social media impact.
The surprising thing about this article is that it has only been published on the Blog for several weeks and has reached such virality.

I published this post last summer, and if you notice, we on page seo service already found a coincidence with the previous post, since I used the number 20 at the beginning of the title and with very large and striking letters.
In this article, and also coinciding with the previous one, I make a compilation of the best free and high-resolution image banks .
The choice of the image is also very well thought out and identifies very well with the theme of the post.
The article is currently positioned for 300 keywords in the Google search engine, since the niche it deals with has a good long tail .
It currently gets 200-300 hits a day and is always among the top 10 most visited posts on my blog.

I published this post at the end of 2014, about a year ago, and I also used a round number like the two previous examples. To do this, I made a compilation of tools that, based on my experience, usually work very well on my blog and manage to attract traffic from Google and social networks. On my blog, you will see several compilations of tools in the Top 10, but I am not getting ahead of myself; I will explain them later.
You have probably already noticed a detail that is repeated in the 3 posts mentioned above: in all 3, the most viral social network is Facebook, so if we want to get a viral post, we have to count on Facebook to make a good social diffusion.
Another aspect that all three agree on is the very significant difference between Facebook and Twitter and the rest of the social networks.
Well, we are making progress on the ingredients we need to get viral content.

Well, I think this post was the first post that I managed to get over 1,000 social bookmarks, and it is a re-update of an old post from 2013, which I actually updated in 2015 just a few months ago.
I announced it earlier and we are back to another compilation of free tools, this already seems to reveal another important feature for achieving viral content.
Another aspect that you will have observed in almost all the featured images is that colors such as green, blue, orange and yellow are repeated. Coincidence?

This post was originally called 50 tools for community managers, but a few months ago I updated it after seeing that it was falling to the bottom of the first page of Google. In just a few days it rose to the top positions and doubled its social bookmarks. So updating an article can also be a good way to make content more viral.

Well here we have a post that is different from the previous ones, and that aims to list the best marketing Twitter accounts in Spanish, for which I used an online tool called Alianzo .
I wanted to update the Top 20 list with some of the best marketing influencers on Twitter and in Spanish , all according to the Alianzo ranking.

If you do not appear on the list, it is likely that the Alianzo ranking has placed you in another category, so I recommend that you contact them so they can resolve your case.

Here we have another compilation of free tools, but the secret to the success of this post was not to focus on the tools that we all know and are more famous, but rather to do the opposite and look for tools that were little known but had interesting functionality.
In this post I use a number and a figure that is not round, but I have always liked the number 22, what can we do, hehe.
This is an article that is a couple of years old and continues to surprise because it is positioned high in the rankings and generates many visits every month, and all this without having been touched or updated.
In the line of colors that I have used, the colors blue and orange stand out.
When I wrote it, many people wrote to my blog telling me that when they clicked on the post they thought I had put “little known” to get visits and that later they would find the usual tools, but that was not the case, and that was a very pleasant surprise.

This was my first collaborative post, which brought together a large cast of professionals to offer us some advice that could be applied to Twitter, so everything pointed to it being a very viral piece of content.
A very dense and complete post of more than 7,500 words where we can find very useful tools for our daily life on Twitter.
For the featured image of the post I used a Branding type image, to associate the brand image of the post with that of its authors.
Ultimately, creating a collaborative post where we bring together a large number of professionals can help us boost its virality on social networks.

This is a post as part of my Branding Strategy, since my goal was to position myself with the keyword “best digital marketing blogs”, and after several months of work I achieved it and it has been on the first page of Google for a year now, so it was a very successful article.
In the post, what I did was make a list based on the number of Feedly readers that each Blog had. When I made the post a year ago, my Blog had 628 readers in Feedly and in just 12 months I have gone up to 1,788 readers, an increase of 200%.
Note that here I used the expression “another planet” very heavily in the title to try to achieve the greatest possible virality, and I also looked for an image of the moon that was in keeping with the title I had chosen.

I'll end with a guide that I'm particularly fond of because it was one of the first ones I wrote about a year and a half ago, and with which I launched a viral strategy that consisted of getting the greatest number of impressions through a tweet and reaching the greatest number of people possible, and the result was impressive because it reached more than 1,300,000 people and all of this without having to pay absolutely anything...
I also used it as a presentation with many professionals in the Social Media sector, and received very positive feedback from most of the professionals I mention in the guide.
Characteristics of “Almost” Perfect Viral Content
Well now I am going to summarize some of the characteristics that I have been explaining throughout the post and which are the following:
1.- Choice of colors. Analyzing the most viral posts on my Blog, I realize that the most repeated colors are blue, green, orange and yellow, with a predominance of blue or green as the background color.
2.- Choosing the title . All titles are 5 to 8 words long and include a section for SEO optimization and another that serves as a social amplifier, phrases like “another planet”, “little known”, etc.
3.- Image selection. All images in viral posts are “Flat Design” and very much in keeping with the post they accompany. A poor choice of image can reduce the social engagement of that content.
4.- Type of content. Most of my most viral articles are compilations of tools or courses, or lists of accounts or blogs.
5.- Amplifying elements. Adding an infographic that summarizes the post can be an element that considerably amplifies the social reach, so keep this in mind.
Another element that can help us is to insert symbols in the title or description of the content. These symbols no longer appear in the Google search engine, but they do appear on Social Networks and help to attract the user's attention. If you want to know more about these symbols, go to this URL www.iemoji.com .
Videos can be a good catapult to virality but they have to be made with that objective in mind, logically not just any type of video will do.
6.- Strategic Post. There are many types of strategies applied to content that can help us amplify its social effect. If you want to know more about any of these strategies, leave me a comment on the post and I will tell you about some of them.
7.- Valuable article. If you want content to go viral, you have to work hard and find a way to make it known. If the content is not good, it doesn't matter how many actions you take because it will never be viral content. The more practical and useful the content is, the more viral it will become.
8.- Social Networks are the main players. Work on your brand image on Facebook and Twitter , as these two social networks are the ones that will help you the most to turn your article into viral content. By the way, I don't like Facebook, but its potential for virality is undeniable, as well as for obtaining web traffic . Google Plus remains the third most important social network in terms of virality.
9.- Social Media Influencers. Social media influencers can help you make your article go viral, so look at each social network and find 3 to 4 influencers, and try to build a good relationship with them, but don't try to create an exchange relationship, those relationships have an expiration date, but rather the goal should be to create a true friendship.
10.- News aggregators. Try to get your post to the front page of news aggregators like Mktfan , Bitácoras and Marketertop , and you will automatically get a great social boost because many professionals turn to these aggregators to find quality content to share on Social Networks.
The growth of social media has established it as an essential channel for any brand or business, but do we really know how to write viral posts for our blog?
