Find out what people like about your niche topic in social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or any other content channels. Social channels let you find the live topics discussed among the real audience. Read some of those topics and think about what type of posts you would like to share or comment on. Content should include a combination of any of the below-mentioned perspectives :

Talking about news, I would like to draw your attention to the latest news of Demonetization of 500 and 100 Notes in India. Yes, while I am writing this content, our PM has announced the ban on using these high currency notes. If you use Google news alerts or RSS feeds of any news channels, you will be the first one to pass on the news to local audiences who are unaware of the news. You can create a container using that news and implement your own opinions and views on that. This way you are catching attention first. Your readers will gradually trust your blog as they got to know about something which was shared by you first. They will definitely share your content with their friends and family.

You can grab such hot topics to write about. Creating viral content is quite a difficult task as it involves open ears and observations to the information and latest trends around you. But it is not impossible If you are a good writer. You can also approach us at Solwin Infotech for creating such viral contents. Our content writing services are very affordable.
