Five all time favorite ideas for getting those elusive page views.
Have you been trying to get into the elite league of writers with more than 10000 page views but simply can’t make it? Some publishers upload hundreds of pieces of content but never seem to be liked enough while others get huge readership with only a handful of pieces. You could be the best writer in the world but if you can’t write about what users want you will never be able to make the grade above the 10k page views. Some topics are forever the favorites among readers. The secret to page views is to understand the reader mentality. So what are the topics that interest most of the internet readers? Here are a few pointers.
Fashion never goes out of fashion. Anything related to fashion and the latest trends is definite to get you readership. The latest trends in hair, clothing and nails will get you the maximum readership. If you are not much of a fashion follower, get on the internet and find out what’s hot and what is hot this season. Be assured about most hits if you are able to cover the latest in women’s fashion. Review the latest fashion and make up accessories, compare products or write about beauty tips to get the most attention.
If you know your locality you can be a star on Triond. Write about the best place to eat out or about some heritage site in your area. Some more ideas about local attractions would be about the best places to set camp or picnic spots, best pubs or little known places which have some or the other specialty. Trust me, the number of people who would love to read about local attractions is far more than people who like controversies and hot gossip.
It does seem unlikely that someone would come down to read about movies while there is no dearth of professional websites with the latest reviews. But the greatest entertainment of the last century is till date certainly a crowd puller. Maybe people do not go down to the theaters these days and maybe people just download the latest flicks, but everyone loves a nicely written review. Everyone wants to know whether the movie is worth spending time at. If you are a movie buff and watch all the latest flicks, go ahead and write a pretty little review.
The favorite of all topics. Who doesn’t love money? Write about how to save money, about discount coupons, about investing money, anything, Money will get you views, not in the literal sense though. For your information only, the most views are generated for tips on investing money and earning money over the internet.
If you know some tips about how to do stuff, go ahead and write about it. Do you know something about gardening, fixing a computer bug or are you good with cars? Never underestimate the power of information, however small it might be. Keep it concise and to the point, exactly how information should be and soon you will be building a fan base for yourself.
There you go. Five assured tips on how to write successful content. The above tips will not only assure you page views but also get you that elusive fan base. Enjoy!

Great list! This would definitely help content writers to refocus and have refreshing options which sometimes they badly needed.
Have a nice day!

I’ve never seen anything work as well as ‘How To’s. To be honest, I don’t know about the others but other topics that work incredibly well are the 10 Things yada yada that are basically anything as long as they are in a number and any article under ‘Health Mad’ or advice ones do exceptionally well to. Good article though for those who need to focus on articles that will earn them more.
