Wanna go viral? I thought so.
Even if your piece is the most amazing masterpiece to have ever graced our planet, if your mom is the only one who reads it, it will end up slipping through the proverbial cracks of the interwebs. If you want your articles to viral, you're going to have to master the art of social media. Thankfully, it's not that hard. Here are six surefire ways to increase views on your articles.
1. Get visual.

People love pictures. They will like, share and comment on them more than any other content, so remember that when posting your pieces online. If you couldn't get the copyright for a compelling image that relates to your piece, post it your Facebook and link your article to the picture. More people will see the image; if it's good, more people will follow to your article.
2. Don't be afraid to get a little emotional.
7) Do Gangnam Style dance in video.
change your name to Sarah Palin!
Put a cat or a dog in it.
