Ever wonder how an article can go viral? It turns out that it's not as difficult as you'd think. I broke the process down into ten easy steps. Let's begin!

First, start with an introduction paragraph that clearly states your goal.

1. Make Your Article A List

This way no one has to read the entire body of work. Most people don't read each word in your piece because they’re all browsing online while waiting in line for their 12th coffee of the day. But that’s okay! As long as they open the page, you get that precious, moneymaking, organic page view.

2. Include A Hilarious GIF Or Two

Be sure to have some with an explanation, and maybe one without.

3. Throw A Meme In As Well

It doesn't matter what kind as long as it is both nostalgic and truthful.

You know what I mean.

5. Be Playful With Emoji And Punctuation Rules

After all, you want people to know that you have attitude! ;-)

Don’t cover up who you truly are?! <> $$$

The bigger the onslaught of punctuation problems, the more people will pay attention. 8-----------D----

6. Give Your Article A Fun Hashtag To Help It Trend

#viralcontent #vapidtext #ihavetheherp #heartsandsoulsnotfartsandbowls

7. Talk About Your Minority Friends, So Your Worldview Doesn't Seem So Limited

For example, I have three gay friends. So, it's okay if I use the word gay.

8. Insert Plenty Of Buzz Words

Globalization of your social media content can help achieve robust synergy for your new creative paradigm moving forward.

9. Re-State The Entire Article

If you do all of the above, I know that your next articles will be completely void of original content! Congratulations, you now write like everyone else! You can also spew digital vomit into the caustic cesspool that is the internet. Thank you for doing your part.

10. Link To Your Social Media Accounts

Plug your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and personal website at the end of your article. People will want to know where to find you when they disagree with your opinions.
