What’s One Good Way of Making it Big in the Blogosphere?
We see it everyday: actors and actresses or other celebrities making the headlines because of a recent break-up, or because of some nasty thing they’ve done, or some wild thing in general. Paris Hilton is an example. Those sex videos and the heiress personality would sure be an attention-grabber. Recently, it’s Britney Spears, who just announced an upcoming divorce.
It’s one simple, surefire way of getting attention in the blogosphere: be controversial. Make the most out of the who, why, what and how, and I mean in the sense that you will be able to grab people’s attention and keep it (boy, attention spans are so short these days). Write about something out of the ordinary, something shocking, or something with a strong opinion. It’s even better if you can write previously-unwritten scoops and rumors, and it would be good if it’s about something that people can relate to, like money, entertainment, or some popular fellow blogger.
People will come flocking to your blog, and you can expect a lot of discussion. Some would be in agreement, while some would be in violent objection. And do expect a lot of snark. Hey, that’s the price of fame.
So if you plan to make it big in the blogosphere, better get out of writing lame, uninteresting things. Write about something shocking!
