This is an article explaining the type of article that makes it onto the hot content list on triond. There are several steps to writing a popular article.
There are thousands of Triond writers out there, longing to be successful. One of the best ways to attract attention to your Triond articles is to create content that is place on the hot content list. Any writer at Triond knows that this is no easy feat. Unless you are RJ Evans, I guarantee you will not have every single one of your articles appear on the hot content list.
In my three months on Triond, I have learned a lot. If there is one thing that will attract hundreds if not thousands of readers to my content daily, that would definitely be the hot content list. After close examination of almost every piece that arrives in the hot content section of Triond, I think I have it all figured out.
Most of the articles on the hot content list are recently written. If you have hopes of your 2 month old article making it on the list, forget it. Every article on the list has plenty of comments. Within an hour of being published, hot content usually has 3-4 comments on it. Another tool that authors have noticed on Triond is the “I Liked it” button. This also helps your content make the top 10 list. To summarize, the best articles on Triond are ones that are new, attracts many readers, receives comments, and praise. Right now, you are probably wondering how it is possible to write an article with all those things. Don’t worry, this article will lead the way into becoming a famous author on Triond.
When you want readers to read your article, it is important that you write about subjects people care about. Although Triond accepts articles covering ANY topic, there is no guarantee that all articles are destined for success. Some of my articles don’t even have 10 views. It is important to carefully think about topics you choose to write about and keywords people search for. Your writing topic needs to be popular if you want your article to be popular. Think about the important things in an article: Title, Keywords, Topic, Ideas.
One of the hardest things to do in a Triond article is to accumulate comments. The best way to accumulate comments is to write something that either applies to the reader or moves the reader. An easy way of doing such would be to write about a controversial topic. The comments on your article don’t have to be positive to turn it into “Hot” Content. I noticed that some of the articles have comments that completely disagree with the author, yet it still makes it onto the ”Hot” Content list. Your readers don’t have to support your argument, they need to be interested in reading it.
If you want your readers to hit the “I Like it” button on your articles, you need to make sure your article is providing a valuable service to the reader. Is your article actually helping the reader or is it wasting the reader’s time? Don’t write about something that has already been covered before; you are only wasting your time and the reader’s time. Make sure your article is useful.
There is no guarantee that following these steps will turn your articles into “Hot” Content. It will increase the chances of it but there is no way to tell. Sometimes it’s all about luck and timing. The best way of learning how to write interesting articles is to start writing them. Knowledge comes from experience so I suggest you start writing as many articles as you can. Good luck to all aspiring Triond authors.
