How to Write Popular Articles

First, you should write articles not just to be popular, but because you are truly interested in the subject.

Then, ask yourself, how can you make this article popular?

Relevant Information

People go to the internet for relevant information. There is generally information that they are seeking. This can be information about earning money online, finding employment, information about their favorite movie stars, information about products like clothing, toys, food, gifts, information on favorite topics, like astronomy or education.

Also people seek information on current events, topics in the news.

So when writing articles, ask yourself is the topic not just interesting--is the topic relevant? How can you make the topic relevant?

Let's say you're interested in writing about astronomy? What is relevant? Perhaps there is something in the news about astronomy that makes the topic relevant?

You can also make topics relevant by introducing relevant information. Let's say you're writing about the Samarai tradition. Many people are interested in the Samarai tradition.
