4. Prefer quality over quantity : Compromise over quality of your write-ups is simply not acceptable. Write less number of articles a day but each write-up should have quality. It should be attention grabbing. In fact, your write up should be magnetizing enough to provoke the reader to stick till the end.

5. Relevant and Engaging Content : Relevance is the most important factor that makes your write-up worth checking out and spreading. Focus on the usefulness of your post to the reader. If the reader is not interested in what your article is all about, he/she would not bother to check it out, spreading and talking about it is simply out of question.

6. Catchy headlines and Scannable post : The headline of your post should give the clear idea of what your post is all about. The catchy headlines helps increase the readership. Besides headlines, scannablility and easy readability of the article is of vital importance.

7. Keep it simple and short : Use simple words that your readers can easily understand. Don’t use words that ask your readers to check out the dictionary every now and then. Simple language, concise, to the point information, short paragraphs, interesting write-up is what make the content viral.

8. Check the mistakes : Before you finally publish the article, check for the grammar, spelling or any other mistake if any. Avoid repetition and make sure there is proper sentence formation. Small mistakes can kill the article.

10. Pro­fes­sion­al­ism : Lastly, your write-up should portray your professionalism. Silly mistakes, no proper sentence formation, unnecessary information; all can kill your writing. Your reader should be able to judge your professionalism through your writing. If the reader feels lack of professionalism in your writing, it’s crystal-clear that he won’t be interested in reading. Acquiring reader’s confidence should be your aim.
