Editor's Notes

  • #12 Social is not just about timing but also about properly identify your own content. Every content has an alternate angle which has to be identified, tagged, properly quoted and a funny or relevant image with meme text provided. Many popular blogs have been doing this for a long time and achieving virality not just when the content is new but also getting back links for alternate angles long after the content was originally published. Identifying alternate angles also makes the content memorable for users.
