Everyone wants the elusive viral post.
The one where hundreds of thousands of people seem to be beating down the virtual door of your beloved blog.
But the reality is, are you actually ready to handle that kind of traffic? Are you actually ready to emotionally deal with the backlash? Is your site actually going to sustain the traffic you seek?
I want to dive deep into this subject and give you insight into everything I have learned from the viral posts I have had over the years.
While viral is different for everyone and you will hear definitions ranging from 10x a person’s normal traffic in a day to the post is seeing traffic from multiple sources. Regardless, I have had posts that have hit different levels of viral and I have learned a lot from the process of each of them and it’s better prepared me for huge surges evaluating what I have learned from each.
