Hey Nabeel,
There are articles on Shoutmeloud which gone viral and got good numbers of visitors too. Glad you like the tips.
I agree, it’s very tough to get a lot of traffic until your posts are exceptionally well.
Right Asif, and I would prefer to say it as it should be very useful for readers and something unique.
Need to follow niche topics closely to get alerts quick enough and blog about them..So a scheduler or an alert system would be gr8 to know the trending topics in that niche.
Apart from Schedulers or alert system you can go ahead with subscriptions of blogs which always fast to share latest news.
For effective word-of-mouth marketing, one needs to make sure that they crack a story right on time and it should surprise the reader to know that such a thing exists. As you have mentioned, research is really important as when you hastily post something, you might miss out on some key aspect.
Agree with you Mohit, many time it happens that while covering the latest update bloggers don’t research properly and provide half information. Thus research is very important.
