| Hey Viral sites have been off the charts recently and if you have lots of Facebook friends, you'll agree that your news feed is overpowered by sites like Upworthy, Viralnova, and Buzzfeed.
It's even gotten so big that national news outlets like Business Week and The Atlantic are talking about it! Click here for more info.
Those sites are seeing insane traffic and making even more insane money!
Here's my top 5 list of how these sites are making money:
1. Super sticky content
When people like what they see, they stick around to read everything you've got.
2. Insane social sharing
Of course as you like content you'll share it with friends. This is what it means to go viral.
3. Natural (not SEO) traffic
You don't always have to win at Google to win the online game. Social channels can easily drive way more traffic than fighting for long tail terms.
4. Embedded "native" ads
BuzzFeed is especially good at weaving advertising and sponsored content in with the real stuff, and even pays for FB ads to drive even more traffic.
5. AdWords, affiliate links, and lead capture (oh my!)
Once you have traffic, you can monetize it in any number of ways including building your own mailing list (invaluable!).
