If you develop this, then startup founders, business owners, law firm partners, e-commerce companies, everyone will want you to do content writing for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ramanuj and Abhyuday had a lot of content go viral on Twitter and Linkedin many times. I am talking about thousands of likes, and hundreds of comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at this story about how I started my first startup, for example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/agarwalabhyuday_it-was-early-2012-we-were-at-a-party-in-activity-7118010776778420224-hs7M?utm_source=share&#038;utm_medium=member_desktop\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or this story where Ramanuj mentions the experience of starting up with me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6855461251951144960\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check our LinkedIn profiles if you want to find more of our posts which went viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only your own story &#8211; you can write stories of others also<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6851147170800799746\/?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_feedUpdate%3A%28V2%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6851147170800799746%29\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a great idea to share victories of your clients\/customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6826126367726309376\/?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_feedUpdate%3A%28V2%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6826126367726309376%29\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every business owner or rich person wants to write viral personal stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have had the necessary life experiences and knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, very few of them have the necessary writing ability, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They need assistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can help them as a content writer to do this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can assist foreign clients to write viral stories about themselves or their customers, you will be in high-demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why would they trust you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in this case, the easiest way to establish that you have a track record of writing viral stories is by first writing viral stories on your own profile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can then pitch this service to your clients, sharing your posts that got viral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do you go about writing viral stories?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a structure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There must be a protagonist. It could be you, or someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life was going on, all normal. Suddenly,&nbsp; some serious difficulty or challenge emerges. Something bad or traumatic happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many struggles on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the protagonist emerges victorious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe she is still fighting it, but the spirit in face of all difficulties is a victory itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most serious challenges in life do not get resolved in one go. It takes a series of actions over a period of time to find a final solution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, we take some initial action, and then run into some new trouble, which we need to solve again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explain the new challenge the protagonist faced after taking some action, and then say how he\/she solved the new challenge. Repeat the cycle. Remember that obtaining a final victory ultimately is important.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cycle can be very long or very short. You don\u2019t need to make it too dramatic &#8211; keep it real. You may need to skip some details too so that it remains short and relatable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explain the final victory and resolution.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also there is a final message from it. What is the moral of the story? What does the reader take away from it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is also very important.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can upload a photo that shows the victory or the initial pain. A photo adds huge reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, when Ramanuj describes the house where he grew up as a child, or how he has now lived as a digital nomad during pandemic, he adds photos:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/1bchrN4n8sEXrkqMyoJID3JU5jxkWYhl1ImvzIN232Wn1d6JcUlvINvYSdcRHAuqC3urLPhAyvPEin_OJ-IfXQDcITuCg71eoW2I_dOTU3OSDQVOS5aSK01GreIum7TExtcZMgI43jORnWS6DtFmQIM\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine that you were to write this story right now for yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What could you write about?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your biggest challenge or difficult life experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Did you struggle with money ever? What happened?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did someone at school, college or work place insult you? Did you ever face bullying or discrimination?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did you struggle to learn English, or Hindi or some other skills that you finally learned?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did people refuse to accept you somewhere? Did anyone harass you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Did you suffer hardships? Did your parents or relatives put you under the bus at some point?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Every human being has stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just that you are not used to sharing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You feel shy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You feel bad to show that you are vulnerable and you suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day you start talking about those things with honesty and courage, you will inspire many others around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, it\u2019s time to go ahead and write your first story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hit back and let us know your stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be a great idea to post these on social media as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever thought about what makes certain content go viral over others?
