It’s called using the negativity slant!

I warn you, that this may push your comfort levels, but it works.

So hold onto your chair and take a deep breath.

Because content with a negative slant will get discussed more than content with a positive slant!

Bad news travels faster than good news. Here’s proof…

 Have you noticed what proportion of the TV news is bad news? It’s a HUGE percentage.

Now, I’m not saying that every article your write should be negative. After all, many of us are here to improve not just our own lives, but the lives of our targeted audiences as well. However, it’s possible to give a piece of content a negative slant without making it a negative article.

For example, Barry Dunlop wrote an article: “10-Step Guide to Being a Loser.”

This article title definitely has a negative slant. After all, being a loser is a negative thing. But this article was actually full of awesome self-improvement advice that literally transformed many people’s lives.

Remember, a negative slant will ALWAYS have more of a chance to go viral as it will get noticed by more people.

Parents from around the world have sought College Parenting Expert Dr. Yohn’s advice on successfully getting college students through college with an emphasis on graduation and rewarding employment. Now for the first time they can read her articles all over the Web on top websites like About.com.

View her first article on About.com Fatherhood

You can also view this article simply by going to Google and typing in “Parenting new college students.” This is a very popular keyword phrase for Dr. Yohn’s niche. And, yet her article can be found on the very first page of Google search for this key phrase.

 After being told about her placement, here’s what Dr. Yohn had to say:

“Eric is my hero! I’m a psychologist, not an article marketing expert. So I turned to Eric for help. I was stunned with both quality and quantity of the sites and organizations (including About.com) that picked up my very first article. Thank you, Eric!”
