You get the bulk of your targeted traffic from the search engines when you engage in article marketing.
But don't forget that articles can go viral as well - that is, if they are well written.
The type of content with the highest chance of going viral is a funny article.
Here is how to create a humorous article (last tip works like a charm).
1) Laugh at mistakes.
- Your articles can be informative and funny at the same time.
Very often, beginner marketers make all kinds of mistakes.
You can write about the mistakes that you made when you are starting out.
Will others see you less as an expert when you do that? The answer is no.
On the contrary, readers will laugh alongside with you and they will also find you more friendly and approachable.
2) Laugh at jokes that arise spontaneously.
- Some jokes are not planned.
As you write, some funny thought pops into your mind.
Just write them down.
In fact, some of the best jokes appear funny simply because the readers are caught by surprise! The joke just happened! 3) Write about something stupid that happened.
- There was this client of mine who told me about how an intern sent out the cost price spreadsheet to a customer by mistake.
"So now the customer knows the cost of all our products!" exclaimed my client with a resigned tone.
In the end, we just laughed at the mistake because there was not much we can do to remedy the situation.
It was just a stupid mistake.
But it was funny on hindsight.
By telling me the joke, we had broken the ice and we found it easier to talk to each other.
You can expect a similar result with humorous articles.
