These new media sites dont even worry about creating unique ideas or content. Remember, theyre not focused on search engine rankings, but on social sharing. Although a nice byproduct of all those social shares is that these sites are well indexed and get search engine traffic anyway. But they dont worry about original ideas because they dont want to waste time guessing whats going to go viral. They focus on whats already working. How? They look for content (which means they spy on each other!) that is already getting shared and going viral so they know that whatever articles, images, or videos they use on their sites have a very high probability of getting shared by visitors... FOR FREE. This explains why its very common for you to see a story shared in your Facebook newsfeed and a couple days later... someone shares the same story from a different site because its the first time she saw it. And then you see it again a couple of weeks later from someone else sharing another site. As Daniel Mintz (Head of Data for Upworthy) said... Theres an incorrect instinct to assume everybodys seen this, this was huge. But the internet is a huge, huge place, and if a million people have seen something, or five million people have seen something, thats still a tiny, tiny fraction of the possible audience. Obviously, BuzzFeed and Upworthy are getting millions and millions of visitors from Facebook for free and making a fortune doing this. BuzzFeed alone is making over $100,000,000 a year! As you can probably tell, weve studied this viral social sharing extensively because we wanted to get in on the action and get our share of these millions of free visitors. We now know exactly how it works. And we bet you want to know, too! Now, this is the part in most sales letters when youd expect us to jack you around and refuse to tell you the secrets unless you give us $50,000,000. Screw that. Were going to be 100% transparent and give you all the steps to make this work. (Be sure to take good notes.)
