Three days go my visitor tally shot up to 900 daily.  Two days ago 1100 visited my blog.  Today 1300 visited.

SO HOW DO YOU GET YOUR eBOOK TO GO VIRAL?

It is beyond social media.  

You can’t tweet or Facebook yourself into viral status. Your publisher can’t even make it happen. 

 It rarely happens to the common A-list author names – 

 they became A-listers after their viral debut – it’s usually something fresh, from a fresh face.

 The criteria for putting your book into a position to go viral is almost exactly that associated with getting published in the first place.  

The book has to work.  Really, really well.
 
That said, viral books tend to do a couple of specific things really well: 

1.) They are often “high concept” (rather than character-driven, even though they introduce great characters),

with exceptional execution across all the story basics.

2.)  They also deliver something else, almost without exception: they seize the inherent compelling power of underlying story physics in way that exceeds the competition.

These two realms of story – 
compelling concept, 
with exceptionally strong underlying essences, is what gets you into the viral game.

YAWN! Right?  Isn't that what everyone does?




Not really. 

They don’t address these as goals.  

 Some authors just write their story, write it well, let it evolve organically, and hope somebody out there gets it.  

This may get them published, but it doesn’t usually get them on Oprah Winfrey.

 The viral book is driven by hero empathy, 

while delivering a vicarious ride.

  It isn’t the plot, and it isn’t character.  

No, this is about the reader.

 It’s about the reader transporting themselves into this world… going on this ride… feeling it… wanting to be the hero… 

wishing it was them… 

the reader completely engaging in this journey 

on a personal level.

HOW HAVE I INCREASED MY VISITORS?

I do not know for sure but lately I have:

1.)  GIVEN 2 FREE BOOKS AWAY EACH WEEK

2.)  DONE EVERY FEW DAYS A DIFFERENT INTRO FOR MY SHORT STORY IN WENDY'S ANTHOLOGY.

3.)  WEEKLY DID A POST TO BUILD UP INTEREST IN SIV MARIA'S EXCELLENT SECRETS OF THE ASH TREE (not just one on the day everyone else did).

4.) PARTICIPATED IN TWO HALLOWEEN BLOGHOPS, INCLUDING A 3RD: MY OWN

5.) OFFERED FAIRLY NEAT PRIZES IN SEVERAL CONTESTS OF MY OWN.

6.) PUT OUT A NEW BOOK AT 99 CENTS.

7.) WROTE POSTS CENTERING ON ISSUES AUTHORS AND GENERAL READERS WOULD BE DRAWN TO.

My increased traffic might be due to some of those or none of those.  Unlike Ratatoskr, I admit I am mostly clueless!

Here is a trailer for a movie that went viral.  See how it drew in the audience:
