The Coolest Feature of Dragon's Dogma Is the Characters Other People Play
Built with single-player story and fluid action combat in mind, Dragon's Dogma wasn't a good fit for online cooperative play. Instead, Capcom came up with an all new way for players to share their play experience — the pawn system.
What's the pawn system? It's essentially a way for players to collect, enrich, and return each other's created characters, sharing the battles fought and lands traveled with their friends through magical beings drawn to their service.
When a player begins his or her Dragon's Dogma journey, they first create their character, the avatar that will represent them in the world. They can select what type of character this is, define their appearance, assign skills, and so forth.
The player is also responsible for defining the class and appearance of their main pawn, a magical, otherworldly being drawn to the adventurer for unknown reasons. They'll never get old, and they'll never die. They are eternal creatures that only live to serve. The main pawn is the player's constant companion, and should be designed with skills that complement the main character. If the main is a frail caster, perhaps the pawn should be an armored warrior, keeping foes at bay. If The main character is that warrior, maybe a healer in required.
To fill out the adventuring party, the player travels to the Rift, an alternate plane that plays home to thousands and thousands of mercenary pawns. Mercenary pawns come in all shapes, sizes and classes, ready to fight by the players' side as long as they're needed. They can be swapped out during visits to the Rift as the situation calls for it.
Where do all of these mercenary pawns come from? For the internet connected player, they come from other players.
Seem the main pawn of one player is the mercenary pawn of the next. Say a player creates a willowy blonde healer character to be his constant companion. Another player visiting the Rift can either randomly or purposefully (using an in-game search function) recruit that main pawn as a mercenary.
What's so great about that? For one, while a main pawn is playing mercenary to another player they'll earn Rim Crystals, a special sort of currency that can be used to either rent higher level pawns or buy powerful in-game items.
Far more interesting is the fact that a player's main pawn brings retains everything they've learned while acting as a mercenary, bringing that knowledge back to the player's game.
For instance, the main pawn of a beginning player gets rented out by a player further along in the story. Adventuring with this other player, the pawn takes down a creature the original player hasn't faced yet. When the renting player is done, the owning player is notified that there's an update available for their pawn, and the knowledge of how to take down that creature is added to the pawn's repertoire. When the original player finally faces that creature, the pawn will share knowledge about how the beast had been taken down previously.
The same goes for special areas and dungeons. If a pawn navigates a maze with a renting player, they'll impart that knowledge to the owning player when they reach the same spot.
Of course the best pawns get the best knowledge, so it's up to players to create attractive characters that others will want to adventure with, or use social networking to promote their pawn amongst their gaming buddies. Or maybe advertise their pawn in a future post on a major gaming blog.
Not that I would ever do such a thing. At least until early next year, when Dragon's Dogma hits the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Bedbugs or bed bugs are small parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae (most commonly Cimex lectularius). The term usually refers to species that prefer to feed on human blood. All insects in this family live by feeding exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. The name 'bedbug' is derived from the insect's preferred habitat of houses and especially beds or other areas where people sleep. Bedbugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts.
A number of health effects may occur due to bed bugs including skin rashes, psychological effects and allergic symptoms. Diagnosis involves both finding bed bugs and the occurrence of compatible symptoms. Treatment is otherwise symptomatic.
Bedbugs have been known by a variety of names including wall louse, mahogany flat, crimson rambler, heavy dragoon, chinche, and redcoat. Largely eradicated as pests in the developed world (primarily through the use of DDT) in the early 1940s, bedbugs have seen a resurgence since about 1995.
Bites and Concerns
Bed bugs usually bite people at night while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing the skin with an elongated beak through which they withdraw blood. Engorgement takes about three to 10 minutes, yet the person seldom knows they are being bitten. Bed bugs normally do not reside on people like head or body lice ? immediately after feeding they crawl off and reside elsewhere to digest their meal. Symptoms after being bitten vary with the individual. Many develop an itchy red welt or localized swelling within a day or so of the bite. Others have little or no reaction, and in some people the reaction is delayed. Unlike flea bites that occur mainly around the ankles, bed bugs feed on any skin exposed while sleeping (face, neck, shoulders, back, arms, legs, etc.). The welts and itching are often wrongly attributed to other causes, such as mosquitoes. For these reasons, infestations may go a long time unnoticed, and can become quite large before being detected. The likelihood of bed bugs increases if the affected individual has been traveling, or had acquired used beds or furnishings before symptoms started to appear. Bed bugs also are suspect if you wake up with itchy bites you did not have when you went to sleep. Conversely, it is important to recognize that not all bites or bite-like reactions are due to bed bugs.
Confirmation requires finding and identifying the bugs themselves, which often requires the help of a professional.

HALIFAX - The executive director of a Halifax orphanage says she has no knowledge of staff abusing residents and instead alleges it may have been the children themselves who physically, sexually and mentally abused each other, according to an affidavit filed with the Nova Scotia Supreme Court.
The accusations are contained in the document submitted by Veronica Marsman in her opposition to the proposed certification of a class-action lawsuit launched by former residents of the Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children who allege they were abused.
The proposed class-action involves about 140 former residents who say they were physically, sexually and mentally abused by staff at the home over several decades up to the 1980s.
Marsman, the home's executive director since 2010, also worked at the orphanage and was a resident there from 1964 until 1966.
"I was not aware of abuse, systemic or otherwise at the home either as a resident, a staff member, board member or as the executive director," she says in the affidavit submitted Monday.
Marsman said that with the exception of individual claims and media reports, she was only aware of one incident through the home's records in which a staff member was alleged to have had sexual contact with a 16-year-old girl in June 1983. The accused staff member was suspended and eventually fired, the affidavit says.
"It is never possible to prevent all such abuse in a residential environment, but it was carefully monitored in accordance with standards at the time," Marsman says in the affidavit.
Her affidavit said that 63 individual actions alleging various forms of abuse had been filed with the provincial Supreme Court since 2000 and 59 are still before the court.
The submission included court documents summarizing the state of proceedings in the 59 cases.
John Kulik, a lawyer for the home, said a class-action lawsuit isn't needed because the circumstances of the allegations vary widely.
"This is a case where because of the different time periods involved, the different staff members involved, different eras, different administration at the home — there's no common issues," he said in an interview.
Marsman's affidavit includes a list of former residents who were accused of abuse in previous court proceedings. Some of the names are of people who have alleged they were the victims of abuse.
"I am informed by counsel for the home and do believe that in the individual actions the following former residents of the home have been accused of sexual, physical or mental abuse by plaintiffs in those actions," her affidavit says.
None of the allegations have been tested in court.
Ray Wagner, whose legal firm is spearheading the class-action suit, expressed disappointment that the affidavit attempts to cast blame on the alleged victims.
"We've known right from the start that abuse happened between residents," said Wagner.
"But it's been our position that the behaviour was learned as a result of the abuse inflicted upon them by workers and that in some cases that's all they knew.
"They argue that there is no systemic abuse which flies in the face of the named 59 residents."
Marsman's affidavit also said allegations in three of the 63 cases that were filed have been dismissed based on Nova Scotia's Statute of Limitations, adding that the proposed class-action would require reviewing incidents that have allegedly occurred over 50 years.
But Wagner said the cases expired after the complainants had died.
"The only way that justice can be done ... is to have the class-action," he said. "Otherwise we will have litigation until I'm 110 years of age."
Last month, Halifax police and the RCMP announced they would not be laying criminal charges in the case after concluding there was not enough evidence to support the allegations.

In 2009, annual gross domestic product (GDP) for durable goods manufacturing showed a double-digit decline. The industry was the leading annual contributor to the bottoming out of the U.S. economy for that year. But looking at the results through a new experimental quarterly data series reveals a more nuanced and complete picture of what was happening in durable goods manufacturing. It shows that the decline in 2009 largely came from big drops in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. After that durable goods actually increased for seven straight quarters.
This is an example of how BEA's experimental quarterly GDP by industry statistics can provide a more detailed and precise view of how various industries are contributing to overall economic activity in the country, particularly around turning points. The recent recession and recovery illustrated the need for data that track how industries respond quarter to quarter, rather than year to year, to recessions and to various stimulus programs and other factors during a recovery.
While annual statistics on GDP by industry can be used to describe the leading contributors to business cycle dynamics over a full recession and recovery period, they are less useful in providing a picture of the dynamic U.S. economy as it is evolving. Annual data aren't sufficient when trying to fully analyze the response of industries to changes in economic conditions and public policy, and they aren't sufficient for gauging the economic impact and effectiveness of specific programs.
Quarterly data are not only important for improving our long-term understanding of the national economy, but also for more quickly assessing, monitoring, and adjusting decisions as the economy evolves. These statistics supplement other timely quarterly data—such as employment, wages and salaries, consumer spending, business investment, industrial production, and price statistics—allowing for a more complete analysis of business cycle dynamics and the sources of U.S. economic growth. Quarterly GDP by industry statistics also enhance the existing quarterly national income and product accounts statistics by providing a comprehensive accounting of consumer spending, investment, international trade, and industry performance on a quarterly basis.
BEA's recently issued prototype of quarterly GDP by industry statistics updated an earlier prototype of estimates for 2007–2009 to include data for 2010–2011. It also presented quarterly estimates for gross output (that is, sales) for the first time. Adding a comprehensive set of statistics on quarterly gross output provides analysts with important information on industry-level performance. For example, coming out of the recession in 2009, GDP for the manufacturing sector grew even faster than total output for the manufacturing industry. That was a sign that productivity at factories had increased over the same period. Gross output also provides an industry breakdown of total sales, regardless of whether or not these sales are part of that industry's contribution to GDP.
BEA plans to release one more set of prototype quarterly estimates as part of its annual revision of the industry accounts and to begin regularly producing quarterly GDP by industry statistics in 2014. Quarterly GDP by industry statistics would be available within 30 days of BEA's third release of quarterly GDP. The quarterly data will provide industry by industry detail. As the quality of these statistics improves, BEA plans to expand the industry detail from the current 22 industries to the 65 industries now shown in the published annual statistics.
While progress continues on developing the quarterly GDP by industry statistics, more work remains before they are ready for regular production. In the meantime, BEA welcomes comments on the proposal. They can be emailed to [email protected]. You can address comments to Carol Moylan, Associate Director for Industry Economic Accounts.

Father Christmas will
note 25 years at Weston
With the holiday season on the horizon sooner than we might realize, a familiar face will once again appear on Main Street in Weston, spreading cheer and granting visitors a little bit of holiday magic to take back home.
It seems everyone knows "Father Christmas" — who is preparing to celebrate his 25th year in one of Kansas City's favorite getaway towns.
First conceived by renowned photographer Gehrig Fry and former wife, Jan Specht, whose home is featured on this year's Candlelight Homes Tour, the real-life "Father Christmas" was born from a desire to create some holiday images with a vintage, "magical" feel.
The project, Fry says, soon took on a life of its own. Someone mentioned a man who seemed to have the right "look" for the part — local
Tom Hooper. Through donations by various citizens of Weston, a costume was created.
"Once I saw Tom in the suit, everything changed," said Fry. "I thought it was too blatantly commercial to set up photography sessions with him — I just couldn't charge people for the experience. So I asked Tom just to walk around town for a while and see what comes of it. From there, he just kept going. Word spread, and people came from all over the country to see 'Father Christmas.'"
From there, as "Father Christmas," Hooper went on to become a featured subject for Hallmark Cards, and today continues to work with local charities throughout the holiday season, such as the Leavenworth Animal Welfare Society. This year, he also serves as inspiration for the 31st Annual Candlelight Homes Tour, beginning Friday, November 30.
According to merchant Andrea Nelson-Priddy, owner/operator of Nelson & Taylor Interiors and president of the Weston Chamber of Commerce, "Father Christmas" is the heart behind Weston's holiday season.
"Weston has always had a unique atmosphere, where the rush of modern life seems to slow down a bit — and it's especially apparent this time of year, when 'Father Christmas' is among us," said Nelson-Priddy. The reason for that, Fry explains, has nothing to do with the legendary figure, and everything to do with the man behind it.
"Two weeks after we met, I visited his home," said Fry. "Everywhere I looked, there was Christmas. When I learned he had been making homemade toys for children for years, I felt goosebumps. All we wanted was for something magical to happen. And for 25 years, it has."
"Father Christmas" arrives in Weston on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 5:30 p.m. for the city's annual tree lighting ceremony at the west end of Main Street.
Featuring carolers, refreshments, and souvenirs, this event is free to the public. You can find Father Christmas strolling downtown Weston every weekend until Christmas Eve.
The 2012 Candlelight Homes Tour, featuring four homes and one home/bed & breakfast, will be held Friday, Nov. 30 — Sunday, Dec. 2.
For complete details, including hours and ticket prices, visit westonmo.com/entertainment/calendar.html. Tickets go on sale beginning Oct. 1.
The Weston Chamber of Commerce will auction off the only remaining original Gehrig Fry photograph of "Father Christmas" on Sunday, Dec. 2, following the 2012 Candlelight Homes Tour. All proceeds go to benefit Platte County Health Department's Adopt-A-Family Program.
For more information, contact the Weston Chamber of Commerce at 816-640-2909 or email@example.com.

The Organic Belle Baby Carrier is a well constructed, ergonomic, parent-friendly soft strucured carrier that can carry a baby from 5-35 pounds, front or back, rear facing or front facing. Its also a beautiful carrier to just look at end enjoy- especially with the pretty fabrics they have chosen for the carriers themselves!
(This is a guest review from my dear friend Kelly, who is awesome beyond awesome and more willing than I to be photographed in a baby carrier….here's her thoughts)
I love this carrier!! I have used several with my children, and this one is the simplest to use without compromising comfort for baby or me. The first time I used it, it took me less than 1 minute to put it on and strap my baby in without any help from others. It took her less than 5 minutes to fall asleep while facing inward.
It is a simple construction, so there is not a lot of material or straps to have to figure out and maneuver, and it will not take up much space if you have to pack it. The waist belt sits at your hips, so your hips carry most of the weight, not your shoulders. They use the same buckles as those used on high-end outdoor backpacks, so you know they are sturdy. It has padded shoulder straps that cross over in the back to make it very comfortable to use for longer periods of time. There is a removable head support that you use when baby is facing in, and then you can very easily remove it when your baby is facing outward.
My baby has faced inward and outward, and has enjoyed the coziness of both. I even vacuumed with her facing outward, and there were no complaints from her or me (except I would rather not have been vacuuming). It comes in a few different stylish prints. It is machine washable and made in the U.S.A (Boulder, CO).
One of my readers will win a Belle Baby Cerrier of their choice (depending on stock availability). This will be a Rafflecopter giveaway so entries will only count that are put into the form, unless otherwise noted.

CHIPLEY � Good food, excellent music and fine fellowship were abundant when Washington County residents and business leaders gathered at the county Agricultural Center on Thursday for the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
CHIPLEY � Good food, excellent music and fine fellowship were abundant when Washington County residents and business leaders gathered at the county Agricultural Center on Thursday for the annual Chamber of Commerce Banquet.
The annual event features the presentation of the Jean Hollingsworth Ambassador of the Year Award and the naming of the Washington County Business of the Year, and this year�s winners were Ambassador Cindy Johnson-Brown and Taylor Chiropractic, owned by Dr. Mark Taylor.
Johnson-Brown recently opened Therapy World of Northwest Florida, where she is a speech language pathologist.
�This year�s recipient is really no stranger to anyone who has spent time with the Ambassadors,� said Chamber President Nicole Barefield. �She makes a great impression � bubbly personality, energy and enthusiasm. And if you�ve ever met her, you�ll never forget her.�
Johnson-Brown�s involvement includes representing the Chamber at many civic and social functions, assist in new member solicitation, member retention programs and serve on the marketing committee. Johnson Brown also recently joined the national association of Chamber Ambassadors.
In addition to chairing the WCCC Ambassadors, Johnson-Brown is a member of the Kiwanis Club, the Washington County Arts Council board of directors and Take Stock in Children.
A Chipley High School graduate, she received her bachelor�s degree at the University of Central Florida, masters at Nova Southeastern University, where she is completing her doctorate. She and her husband, Gary Brown, have one daughter, Olivia.
�I�m passionate about volunteering,� Johnson-Brown said upon accepting the award. �And I am excited about being able to bring health care back here to Northwest Florida.�
Taylor Chiropractic, the 2013 Business of the Year, has been in Washington County since 2008, when Dr. Taylor took over for another longtime health care provider in Chipley.
Two years ago, the business upgraded to a larger facility in downtown Chipley and now has seven employees.
�In the past five years this business has treated hundreds of patients with an effort to bring a unique combination of quality healthcare in a warm and relaxed environment," said Barefield. Dr. Taylor was also was recognized for leadership in policy-making regarding economic development and organization.
Dr. Taylor is a member of Kiwanis Club and the Chamber of Commerce. He supports local little league teams and Project Graduation, and volunteers his time at local health fairs providing free screenings and massages.
�Our success is a reflection of the community, and how much you support local businesses,� Taylor said.
Outgoing Chamber President Philip Pippin was also honored for his service to the organization, as were the officers and directors of the Chamber: President elect Pat Schlenker, vice president Amy Wiwi, treasurer Garrett Martin, EDC chairman Gary Clark, Vann Brock, Joy Davis, Terry Ellis, Andy Fleener, Jan Page, Darrin Wall and William Steverson.
Ted Everett, executive director of the Chamber, and administrative assistant Chris McBlain, were also recognized for their contributions to the organization.
Entertainment was provided by the Big River Bluegrass Band, and the dinner was catered by the Northwest Florida Community Hospital.

Every year when I start hearing the radio ads for the Sportsmen's Show, I'm immediately transported back to being 8 years old and anxiously awaiting ads for the Iowa Sports Show at Vets Auditorium. As the oldest grandchild, I had the privilege of being grandpa's special guest at the annual Sports Show. It meant getting out of school early, McDonalds for dinner (back when McDonald's was a treat) and a whole evening with my grandfather wandering the aisles looking at the all of the new fishing products, checking out possible resorts for future trips, maybe watching a seminar and then settling in with pop corn for the stage show – the retrieving dogs, log rolling and an act from the HeeHaw TV show. I always came home tired with a bag as big as I was with all of the colorful, exciting brochures for exotic sounding places like Lake of the Woods, Lake of the Ozarks and Canada.
My grandfather was a farmer, but as he got older his fishing trips became his passion. He purchased an old motor home and all six of us grandchildren took memorable trips in "the Dog House." It might have just been an overnight to the lake for bullheads, or maybe a week at Lake of the Woods or Table Rock, but the memories made can't be priced. Now that we're all grown and have families of our own, we take to fishing trips to some of those places that seemed so far away and exotic in those sport show brochures of my youth.
My own daughter has been going to the ice fishing show with her dad since she was a baby - she checks out the ice shacks and more often than not, is successful at the trout pond. Now that she's 8, maybe it's time for me to take her to the Sportshow and introduce her to those wonderful exotic places like the Lake of the Woods and Canada! I'm sure she'll love Twiggy the Waterskiing Squirrel, too!
The Sportsmen's Show is January 13-17 at the Rivercenter in St. Paul. Discount tickets are available at www.stpaulsportshow.com/. Take your child, collect those colorful brochures and plan a trip together and create some lifetime memories!

A while back, someone sent me a link to the BuzzSumo website. With a name that includes "Sumo," I knew it was love at first sight.
And the love has lasted. Years later, I still use BuzzSumo regularly. It's a gold mine of data for analyzing content's popularity, social growth, and more.
Because I'm so impressed with the platform, I reached out to awesome people at BuzzSumo to let us go behind-the-scenes for the main ingredients to insanely shareable content are.
You've probably seen lame articles on the web like "10 ways to go viral" with super basic tips for creating shareable content. But his post crushes those posts, because it's backed by pure data. (Who doesn't love some fancy images and charts?)
Use this knowledge with caution. And without keeping you waiting anymore, take it away Sumo brothers…
There has always been some nagging questions we've wanted to answer. So we came up with this set of questions, hoping to challenge popular assumptions on how to make your content go viral:
Of course, all these questions come with a giant warning...
The prerequisite to getting your content shared widely is to write compelling content.
There's just no replacement for that. No gimmicks, tricks, or sleight-of-hand to trick users into making crappy clickbait go viral.
But once you've written a well-crafted, useful article, how do you make sure it sticks out among all the noise?
For those of you with content you're proud of, I'm excited to introduce you to a formula you can use to increase the chances your content goes viral.
Here are 10 ingredients that will help increase the shareability of your content:
We've all heard stats on how more people are consuming content through their mobile devices. This means you should write short, bite-sized content to satisfy your readers's short attention spans, right?
We analyzed the top 10% most shared articles to see if this was the case... and according to our research, the opposite is true.
On average, long-form content actually gets shared more than short-form content.
If you look at the chart above, you'll notice something: the longer the content, the more shares it gets.
Specifically, 3,000-10,000 word content gets the most average shares (8,859).
Not surprisingly, there was a lot more short-form content being written — which caused a lot more noise. How much more? There was 16 times more content with less than 1,000 words than there was content with 2,000+ words.
This tells us that most people just aren't willing to create in-depth, well-researched articles packed with insights. They just don't want to put in the time and effort.
Which means there's a lot more opportunity for you to create great content and stand out from the pack. Less competition!
Our findings were consistent with researchers discovering longer New York Times articles were more likely to be emailed than shorter ones.
The fact is that, yes people love to share LOL cat pics and funny memes, but they also want to share intellectually challenging, long-form content. Since the web is inundated with short-form content and gifs, you're better off spending your time writing that one epic piece of content that has less competition instead of writing lots of short, fluffy pieces.
As a result, it's easier to stand out.
Key Ingredient: Aim for at least 2,000 words per post. Click to Tweet
We've all hear experts say compelling images increases engagement. But that only applies to social posts on Facebook, right? What about actual written content?
This time, we analyzed all the articles we've crawled at BuzzSumo to compare the average number of Facebook shares of content with:
Here's what we found:
In other words, on average, twice as many people share posts with at least one image in the post.
This underscores the importance of having visual elements mixed in with bodies of text.
(Keep in mind though, we didn't do any analysis on how visually appealing these images were, just the presence of an image.)
What about social meta tags for Facebook?
We were curious whether publishers that implemented these tags — specifically the preview image received more Facebook shares — on average. Again, we'd expected this to be true, but we wanted to see how dramatic this difference was.
(By the way, for those not familiar, if you wanted Facebook to show a specific preview image, you'd need to implement this meta tag in the <head> section of your article: <meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image.jpg" />)
The results: articles that implemented the Facebook preview image meta tag had more than three times as many Facebook shares and likes compared to those that didn't.
Key Ingredient: Implement those social meta tags and add a photo to EVERY post! The images determine what potential readers see before they even visit your article. Click to Tweet
Perhaps unsurprisingly, based on the last point's results (Facebook social image matters) is that Twitter is the same.
Posts with the Open Graph image tag did substantially better on Twitter than those without:
Key Ingredient: Adding images to your content and posts will help it get shared on Twitter as well as Facebook! Click to Tweet
We analyzed the top 10,000 most shared articles across the web, and mapped each one to an emotion, like joy, sadness, anger, amusement, laughter, etc.
Here's the breakdown of emotions:
The most popular 3 emotions invoked were:
Conversely, the least popular emotions were sadness and anger (which made up 7%).
(Note the difference between laughter and amusement were blurry at times, but we define amusement as being entertained, and not laugh out loud funny.)
Why do people share things that inspire awe, laughter and amusement? We don't have a scientific reason for it, but the New York Times did a research study a few years back.
They interviewed 2,500 people to determine the primary reasons they shared a story online. These were the main reasons they found:
Awe-inspiring and funny content definitely fulfill the first three reasons. Sharing entertaining content brings value to our friends, shows others we have great taste, and spurs conversation and reactions.
People also share for selfish reasons, like narcissism.
8 of the top 10 most shared articles in the past 8 months were quizzes (7 from BuzzFeed, 1 from New York Times). Why quizzes?
When we share our quiz results, it fuels our identity and ego. Others will learn more about who we are, what we value, and our tastes. Think about the last time you shared a quiz. Do you really think 90% of your Facebook friends actually care? No, but the few who do will know what a cool person you are.
Similarly, sharing an opinionated piece about a hot issue, such as gay marriage lets others know where we stand on the issue.
For reference, here were 6 of the 10 most shared articles in the past 8 months, with Oprah's "What Career Should You Actually Have?" quiz in the #1 spot.
Bottom-line is quizzes work. People share content which helps them identify who they are. Being controversial may divide the crowds, but those who agree with you are more likely to share your content.
Key Ingredients: Be entertaining... Nobody wants to bore their friends. Click to Tweet
We were curious which content formats people were more likely to share. So we classified each article in our analysis into six types:
Here's what we discovered:
(Note: All Content is the average shares of all content we analyzed, and is meant to be a benchmark.)
List posts and infographics receive more average shares than other content types.
More surprisingly, how-to posts and videos receive less shares than the average post.
There are many possible reasons why list posts get shared the most. Some possible reasons: Lists give the readers an exact idea on what to expect (i.e. 10 ways to do something), they're also skim-friendly, and easy to read on the run.
Similarly, infographics make it easier to digest a huge amount of information in a visually appealing way.
Either way, make sure your content has plenty of images or charts, so readers aren't intimidated by so much text.
Key ingredient: If you're writing long-form content, remember to keep it easier to scan, and not a wall of text. Structuring it as a list post is a simple way to do that, but if you're not writing a list, make sure you write easy to read paragraphs, and use sub-headlines and bullet points. Click to Tweet
Let's cut right to it: 10 item lists on average received the most social shares with 10,621 social shares.
In fact, lists of 10 had four times as many social shares on average than the second most popular list number (23). The other runner-ups are 16 and 24.
Key Ingredient: If you're writing a list post, try to round it up or down to 10 items. Click to Tweet
Does trust play a role with content sharing?
To answer, we compared the average number of social shares for two types of content:
The results show the importance of a byline.
Byline, and implied trust, play a major role on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.
(Note: The numbers are normalized below to 100, as the absolute numbers aren't important, just the difference.)
However, trust doesn't seem to make a difference in Facebook.
Articles with a byline or bio have 0.10% more social shares than those without a byline/bio. In contrast, in Google+, articles with a byline/bio have 42% more social shares than those without a byline or bio.
Byline trust not playing a major role on Facebook suggests users share different types of content in each social network. We usually sharing entertaining, funny content on Facebook with our close friends.
But on Twitter, Linkedin, and Google+, most of our followers are people we are associated with professionally. Since our "persona" matters more on these platforms, most people prefer to share content from a trustworthy source to build our credibility.
Key Ingredient: Remember to have a byline at the beginning of every post, and a bio at the end to make your content look trustworthy. Click to Tweet
Not all sharers are created equal.
After all, if Oprah, Tim Ferriss, or Noah shared your article with their followers, it'll generate more retweets/likes than if a random person shared it.
But can we quantify that effect?
It might seem impossible to convince Oprah, Tim Ferriss, or Noah to retweet your content (and trust us, we've tried. It's pretty damn hard!) — but there's still a solution.
What if someone just a teeny-tiny bit more influential than the average person shares your content? How many more additional people will share as a result? Can we predict that?
We compared the number of social shares of articles that had 0 influential sharers to content that had one or more influential sharers.
To formalize things, we define "influencer" as someone whose tweets are retweeted on average two times.
For instance, if you tweeted 100 times total, and 200 people retweeted those tweets, the average retweets would be 2.0 (This sounds like a low number, but for comparison, someone like Noah has an average retweet of 5.1)
Here's what we found:
That's great, but how do you get more influencers to share your content without relying on blind luck?
One way is to work backwards. Instead of writing your content first, find a piece of content that is similar to the one you want to produce, and see all the influencers that shared it. Then start building a relationship with those influencers before you launch your post.
For instance, let's say you want to write an article about "conversion optimization". With BuzzSumo, you can find the most shared articles on conversion optimization in the past 6 months using the Top Content Search.
You'll see a list of results like below:
The first result above has 2,039 shares from conversionxl.com. You can see who shared this article by clicking on the "View Sharers" button. There you'll see a list of people who shared this article on Twitter, sorted by average retweets. In other words, it's sorted by their influence level.
There are a couple of other useful fields you'll see for each sharer, including the number of followers they have, and their reply ratio (% of tweets that are direct replies to someone). While number of followers is a more common metric people use to measure influence, it can easily be faked. Average retweets are very hard to fake (or not as likely).
To find a list of influencers, I recommend you search for more than one article to compile a list of influencers. Once you have this list, you can reach out to each of them and ask:
People love to share things they've been involved in, even if they weren't involved in it directly. If you can incorporate these influencers into your article, they'll be more likely to share your article with their own followers.
Interviewing people can also be a great way to get them involved.
At BuzzSumo, our most shared blog post had over 500+ shares. We interviewed over 40 people in the SEO industry and everyone of those interviewees shared their post with their audience.
Here's a screenshot of a tweet we sent asking people if they'd like to be interviewed. Most of the responses were very positive.
Key Ingredient: Incorporate and ask influential people into your content to significantly increase your sharing. Click to Tweet
(Note: Remember, influential people have no obligation to share your content, don't be too pushy in getting them to do so for you. Relationship ALWAYS comes first.)
The next thing we analyzed is the % drop in social shares after you've published your post for 3 days. Most people will share your post in the first few days, and then those shares will taper off, but by how much?
The result was rather depressing. After three days, on all social networks, the number of shares dropped at least 96% for the next four days. Facebook shares drop the most, and Google+ and Pinterest drop the least:
After the first week, the number of shares for the next three weeks drops at least 86%. Twitter shares drop the most, and Linkedin shares drop the least.
This is inevitable, right?
Well, we decided to analyze the anomalies. We dug into the articles which actually had more social shares after a week had passed, and analyzed what they did.
One of those articles was a blog post by Evernote which only garnered 23 Facebook shares after a week. However, after a month, it had a total of 181 shares — an increase of 686% (!!!).
After doing some digging up, we saw the reason why: they repromoted that post 11 days on Facebook after it was published:
We don't have any hard data on the ideal waiting period before repromoting content. Our hunch, however, says about a week.
Here, Evernote published their piece on a Monday, and promoted it on a Friday the next week. A solid strategy would be to promote pieces you write on Friday and weekends on a more popular day like Monday a week later. This will ensure all your posts get the same amount of exposure.
Of course, a prerequisite of this is to write evergreen content, since it can be shared and repromoted anytime after you've published it.
But what if your old posts aren't evergreen?
There's still a way to promote old posts if it ties into an upcoming event. For example, we found an infographic about influencers to meet in SMWW (a social media marketing conference) that had 72 twitter shares after a week, but 487 whopping Twitter shares after a month. What was their secret?
The infographic was published initially on March 10th, and then shared again on Twitter March 28th, the day of the conference. This timely share dramatically increased the number of Twitter reteweets and shares.
Key Ingredient: Don't let your content be a 1-hit wonder! Repromote your old posts at least a week after it's been published. Alternatively, find old content that ties into an upcoming event/holiday, and repromote that the day of the event. Click to Tweet
The day of the week you publish your content can have a big effect on how much it's shared. Take a look at the chart below, which shows the number total shares by day of week for all content we analyzed:
You can see more content is shared during the week, with the start of each week having the highest volume of shares. Generally content gets the most shares on Tuesday or Monday, depending on the social network:
Key Ingredient: Publish and share your content on Monday or Tuesday to get more shares. Click to Tweet.
To summarize, here are the 10 data-driven insights you should be aware of when creating highly shareable content:
Get these 10 ingredients in a PDF to go (yours forever)
Of course, some things do depend on your niche.
If you really want to see what content resonates for your target audience, I recommend doing a BuzzSumo search on your topic/industry, and see what types of posts get the most social shares.
(You can even do a search for your competitor's domain, to see what types of content gets shared the most for your competitor.)
This is a wonderful post. I wonder if this research still valid in 2020 as it was done a few years ago. Questions for those who applied the research finding. Did you see any improvement in your marketing effort particularly using long form articles?
I think you are right, long and readable content and interesting titles accompanied by research images will have a greater chance of becoming viral.
Apart from having content that has many benefits, also because it can convince readers of the contents of the content.
while I was reading, my eggs burned
Really helpful! I knew some of the things but I'm surprised for shares on Monday and Tuesday. I didn't know that. I can't download the PDF?
Really helpful content, i have only just started my site, but am looking at pinterest to get traffic, thanks for the post!
I love this article and especially where you said that 10 is the magic number of lists. I think I should try this
Really, was this article too much powerful like a giant bomb! Mind-blowing
Great content. I'm wondering what is the situation with infographics in regards to content?
Since we know infographics don't have more than 1000 words, am I wrong?
Thanks again for sharing
This article is a big help in creating adpost in my business. Cant wait to see the result.
Wow. Your article is gold. Thank you so much for writing it, I've learnt so much!
great post

Hi Noah Kagan,
All mentioned techniques are fruitful, but therefore I am a little bit confused regarding emotion in content if my industry based on the dry industry then how can I add emotion factors in content. I think it's hard to show some emotions in a post.
I look forward to a positive response.
Rameez Ramzan
Hi Noah, Really very interesting sharing your thoughts about viral content marketing Ideas for new business.
Nice article, I was immediately interested in the tool / plugin you are using for the image embedding source code. Are you able to share what you use for that?
First off I want to say superb blog! I had a
quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center
yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just
seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
This is interesting, Noah! I'm trying to produce in-depth content and can definitely see the results.
If you can create content that makes people feel smart or funny by sharing your post, then you have winning content that can go viral. Now I need to figure out how to create content that make them feel smart or funny.
Pets are one that needs to care and should look after like
our baby. For taking perfect care for our pets and animal we should follow some techniques and also some
little matters which can have huge effect on our animal's
life. In this site, we will easily have all sorts of news and info's about cats, dogs, birds, monkeys,
horses, cows etc & etc. Not only info's but also well written and guided PDF for offline
readings. So this site is a complete Wikipedia for our pets and animals at anytime and
at anywhere
While I'm certain each practices will grow to be more and morre widespread, what I even have seen is that when individuals use electronic mail in place oof a letter, tthe standard of presentation typically declines.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about content marketing.
This is amazing. Thank you so much for the effort, Noah. I'm definitely going to use many references for posts I write about Visual Marketing. Great stuff!
I want to write some quality post which attracts most traffic not to be viral. Nor getting famous my site bengaliworld.wordpress.com just putting some comments or some spammy links on other blogsite. Please advise me.
Great, that settles it. If I can get 5k shares for < 1000 words and 9k shares for 3000 words, I'm going to make 3 posts, each < 1000 words and get approximately 15k shares. What a deal!
I would live to use summo me on my site but it does not support six, any ideas what I can use?
Huawei's effort is made all of the more spectacular because of a 10,000:1 contrast ratio.
I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody
else experiencing issues with your site. It appears as
though some of the text within your content are running off the screen. Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening
to them as well? This could be a problem with my internet browser because
I've had this happen previously. Many thanks
Can I just say what a comfort to uncover someone that genuinely understands what they're discussing online.
You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
A lot more people need to check this out and understand this
side of the story. It's surprising you are not more popular given that you most certainly have the
i need article
Awesome Post....This is going to help me SO, SO MUCH with the way I blog. Jammed Packed with great info. Thanks!
A very simple piece of advice I came across years ago when researching the writing of a book was:
I am under the impression that viral makes Google rank your site higher in search results since more people are clicking on it, sharing it, etc. So even if like some folks have mentioned, viral does not necessarily equate to value, it most likely helps with site ranking, and that cant be a bad thing, right? Maybe I am wrong, but that is the impression I get. Thank you for this great read and in depth analysis. It was very informative and helpful!
Great web site. Plenty of helpful information here. I'm sending it to some friends ans also sharing in delicious.
And naturally, thank you to your effort!
thanks for the tips
Folks, viral is not always value and value is not always viral
But we all want our content to be viral, right? This post really helps us understand what to do once we've created a valuable content and now are clueless on how to promote it.
I like that the authors applied most of their own tips in this article. Hello, list of 10 items!
What I have found is that I am most likely to click on content that will benefit me in a very concrete way. For instance, if I'm starting a blog, then any blog post that specifically tells me how to grow my audience will catch my attention. You've mentioned that sharing content can be a narcissistic pursuit. This applies to article reflecting who you are, but also articles telling you how to become rich and famous! Is there any data backing that up, besides measuring "How to" articles?
This is very insightful. I never paid attention to re-promoting existing content but looking at all the data and detailed analysis makes me excited. Good job putting all this information together !
Oh my goodness.
I'm late to the party on this one but OKDork just became my new favourite site. This information is awesome. I'm currently writing a blog post on how to go viral which has paled into complete insignificance in the shadow of this majestic behemoth.
This is how it should be done. I'm in awe.
I am surprised that a posts that inspire awe emotion is one of top three posts that will go viral. A lot of time when I browse through my facebook, I saw many of my friends share stuff that invoke laughter and awe. I also received a lot of posts that invoke anger especially when it is posts related to politics. It just funny, politic posts that shared seldom invoke positive emotion(just realized it).......
From my experience, I think posts that invoke anger get pretty much engagement. When there is a "angry" posts, I see that people comment more than "laughter" post.
The 10 points you had mentioned in the post are interesting. These are the few tips in bringing a good amount of traffic if optimized perfectly. Thanks Noah.
I'm a personal trainer that runs a blog. I'd like to get out of the one on one stuff and just write blogs and do videos. With so many blogs and trainers out there I'm wondering how I can stand out besides my humor and great advice.
Number 10 is fascinating. The fact that some social networks are Mondays and others are Tuesday is really interesting. LinkedIn I imagine is because people are back at work Monday morning and on LinkedIn. Pinterest however surprises me. Maybe its unemployed people killing time. Really fascinating and great stuff you have here Noah. This saves countless time trying to split test this stuff ourselves. Thank you.
This was crazy good. I was especially happy to hear about the longer content being key. Although numerically it is important, however if you aren't concise and straight to the point, you will lose them. I think the real factor for those being a winner is that to 'really' cover a topic, you need to go into detail. And those articles that cover a topic well, are the ones that people feel need to be shared.
A big thank you for all the hard work behind this excellent check-list!
I am all about using other people's networks to get the word out about my business and personal brand. I am an Instagrammer and Redditor, eclectic visual based communities. If I even THINK I will use their product in the near future, I'll follow them, like, comment, etc. I'm engaged. I will use their products in artistic projects and tag them with the result. Effective! They love it, share it, I get to crack my preverbial creative knuckles, and my influence gets a little bit bigger. #winning

Great stuff!
".... get them involved in your content in some way such as: -Asking them for a quote you'll use in your article"
The power of getting influencers can't be overstated. I recently published a post on Social Media Today. In it, I had in-depth quotes from 9 (imagine if I'd had 10!) social media leaders. The post received nearly 1,000 LinkedIn shares, 400 Google+ shares, and 500 Tweets.
Most of those quoted in the article also shared it on their networks. In addition, their presence in the article made it more likely to be shared, for the reasons you note. It also furthers your relationship with those quoted, making future endeavors that much easier. You're also more likely to be quoted by others, either about the article, or new pieces.
Thanks for the excellent research!
Well this post definitely AWED me! (most popular emotion according to your article) Enough to leave a comment and share...Thanks for this Noah, wishing you more tasty tacos! 😀
Interesting finding re: long-form content. I personally find that my audience also prefers longer posts, but was always told the opposite was true! Thanks for sharing.
It'd be helpful to see the comparative effect of each item you've listed. For example, under point 2, if the total population of posts is split 28% no image, 65% 1 or more image, then the fact that well-shared posts are in the same proportion doesn't necessarily imply any correlation between having an image and being well posted. If, however, the split in the population of posts is, say, 50%:50%, then having an image would appear to influence reposting. Conversely, if 5% of all posts have no image, then the opposite of what is implied by your graph would probably be true.
Point 1 shows this additional info required to complete the picture somewhat, but the rest of the points are missing the piece of the puzzle required to complete the inference.
One other point: correlation isn't cause. For example, having more influencers may cause more reposting; or alternatively higher reposting could have been caused by a great post, which in turn caused more influencers to repost it (or whatever) which creates correlation between influencers and reposting.
We can see looking the shares of this content that if you share anything useful, people will like and share it. Informative and helpful information
That was a killer post bro. Most people are lazy as hell and being spoon fed that you do nothing and make a killing Online. Nothing can be further from the truth. Writing is an investment and will yield assets if you're smart on how you do it. Opt-ins are score keepers. Those emails will create residual income opportunities, but you still have to remember that people want kick-ass content, not watered down b.s. that has no centric value.
Awesome job Henley!
Remember... be a servant,
Cory Boatright
As per #4--- and include the word "Actually"!! What was that-- 4 out of the six titles that were most shared included the word "actually". Or are they playing on our insecurity of knowing "who" we actually are.
What Career Should You Actually Have?
What Kind Of Dog Are You?
What State Do You Actually Belong In?
How Y'all, Youse and You Guys Talk
What City Should You Actually Live In?
Which Decade Do You Actually Belong In?
It's career-- place -- time.. What job, what location, city or state, and what time period... Your identity. What is your identity based on-- your job... where you live.. and then are you 80s, 90s, etc... hmmm brainstorming what to do with that.
We all need to be paying more attention to sharing...not just for traffic, not just for eyeballs or even for potential sales, but for search. I've been hearing a lot lately that Google's last round of SERPs changes were infrastructure related to decreasing the importance of backlinks and toward increasing ranking your pages and posts based on the amount your content is shared.
Great post. I ever wonder, why my post on Facebook get more viral, than post on my blog.
I agree, the point there is that.
Contents is nothing, if there is no social medias..
Since users are more likely active on social medias rather than blogs
Good info on a fascinating topic. For further reading, I highly recommend "Contagious: Why Things Catch On" by Jonah Berger. He identifies 6 principles behind content going viral. Gives explanations & examples that cover thinks like social currency, which emotions prompt or PREVENT something from going viral, triggers, practical value.
One of my favorite examples from the book is about the photo gallery of the bankrupt, decaying city of Detroit. Which got more shares, the photos with homeless people, or ones of just buildings? Awe and anxiety/anger are more viral than sadness.
There will always be haters out there who dis trying to make something go viral. They miss the point that it's about making content more appealing by making it appeal to human nature. Understanding human nature is what it's about. I'm a tech geek. That's why I avidly read topics like this. I need help in getting messages across better.
There's so much good content out there that doesn't get the reach it deserves. Knowing how to make your content more shareable helps. This is relevant even for non-profits, governments and school boards of education who struggle with getting things funded, passed, supported.
This has to be one of the best articles I have read in a long, long time. There is so much meat in this one. I have been referring back to this one for days. Thank you.
A book, The Tipping Point provides brilliant insights about the same topic! Worth a read!
One of the most comprehensive guides I've ever read on the topic! I'm a living example of all the points in the article. One of my posts went viral (mostly on FB) and so far has been shared more than 5.3K times. It is a long detailed article (more than 4000 words, many pictures, and useful for the readers.
The main key for me has been the influential bloggers/pages that promoted it on their social media, as well as using extracts of my comments in other articles.
The idea of keeping promoting the post weeks after its pubblication is also a good strategy!
I will defiantly share it 🙂
Very interesting stuff... especially the part about emotions. Did you guys come to any conclusions on video shares?
Good article Thanks
This is useful and insightful research. It's important to remember, though, that correlation is not causation. There seems to be an assumption through all of this (and the multitude of similar content that is being produce on this theme) that what occurred together in the past is more likely to occur together in the future. I'd say this is like trying to predict the stock market.
This research is a great addition and a must to any content manager.
I read every word and enjoyed it.
Thank you of doing this.
You can always trust a 'study' that doesn't disclose its methodology in any helpful way. How are you defining emotions? How are you parsing texts and assigning them to emotional responses? How is this anything but a mix of the same old new-media 'virality' bs with the word 'data' thrown in every paragraph or so?
The wealth of info in this post is baking my noodle! I will need to lie down and eat at least 10 tacos before I re read. Great stuff! Going to give a few a whirl post haste.
Henley and Noah, thanks for compiling this heap data. It really helped a lot especially the value of putting images as well as making Tuesday your favorite day!
It's amazing to get in touch with influencers, I had a chance to interview some influencers in my niche and noted them about the published article. And it have had done it. I got more shares in few days.
Interesting finding re: long-form content. I personally find that my audience also prefers longer posts, but was always told the opposite was true! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome post. Liked #6. I've had an article on draft for over a week on that ties in with that subject. I'll reference this post. Look forward to the next one!
This is one of the best articles I have read in a long time! Thank you for providing such useful and actionable information!
I'd just love to share this magnificient and useful piece of content with my French speaking readers. Is there any way I can get permission to translate that (with the right attribution, of course)?
Something which might work fantastically well: if you could somehow get your college professors to share your content, say, by producing something that's related to what they taught you...they could use you as a case study to their students and you'd score a .edu backlink!
Very instructive post with some really good strategies to keep in mind. I am now going to download the PDF and refer to it all the time. Thanks.
What a FANTASTIC post. Lots of useful information even for the education-focused sites I work on in my job. Thanks for the work!
Glad you found this useful, Chris!
And this article certainly practiced what its preaching:
Reason 1: Long form content gets more social shares than short form content. (I estimate 2,000-3,000 words for this article)
Reason 2&3: Has at least one image (dozens of images on this article)
Reason 4: I am at awe with this piece/article.
Reason 5: This article talks about a list.
Reason 6: There are 10 items on the list (magic 10!)
Reason 7: Buzzsumo seems to be credible source
Reason 8: Extra influencer? A blogger brought me here via facebook.
Reason 9: Not sure about this one...but buzzsumo may something like this before
Reason 10: The article was posted on April 21 - a monday but since I live here in the Philippines...several hours ahead, that makes it Tuesday for me 🙂
Great piece! Kudos!
True for America... Not true with South East Asia.
Do you have any data for content length and the inclusion of images increasing the likelihood of social sharing? I'm wondering whether shorter content with an image included can still generate social sharing?
Well, we analyzed 100 million articles, and found that longer content with images tend to garner more shares on average, than shorter content. Short form content can definitely still garner shares, it's just that there's so much of it published daily, and a low % of them get shared widely. But that's not the case for long-form content, we discovered.
One further tip is to look for the influencers already in your audience when trying to build relationships, they may be an easier sell as they already know and are interested in you. I am building a site to help find those influencers in your email list at http://hulimail.com, if anyone is interested in joining the beta drop me an email, robin at the domain above 🙂
This is what you call an in-depth article! Talk about pearls of wisdom, so called content kings, queens and princesses (I speak for myself) - this article is a fountain of knowledge, to be taken advantage of I would say.
Extermely interesting post. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting and quite a good read on Wednesday Morning. I usually run a manual search to curate people who share the content in same niche i.e for my seo blog I find out relevant people (normal and influencers) and try to engage them. Ultimately they all help me to promote my blog posts.
Sometimes I visit their blogs and comment on them like i did here and try to add value. There is no hard and fast formula to make your content viral so whatever works for you is the best for you!
Awesome post Henley and Noah - packed with great information. I suppose it's no coincidence that there are 10 points in here and that this post was also published on Tuesday. 😉
I can attest to the power of list posts. Some bloggers never use them, but surprisingly they often outperform detailed how to guides and posts that I've written.
As a writer, I try to make all the stuff I write go viral. Your post has really opened my eyes to the necessity of having a CHECKLIST for all viral elements a blog post or article must have before I click the SUBMIT button. Thank you for your hard work and effort. You definitely made a BuzzSumo convert out of me!
Glad you enjoyed the insights here, Gene. Hope you find BuzzSumo helpful as well!
Looks like I have to post on Tuesdays! There's some great tips in here. Definitely going to implement some of this advice. Thanks.
This is an awesome article! This afternoon I'll be writing a blog post entitled "What career should you actually have?" lol 😉 I love to see statistics supporting the various theories floating around online.
This is very interesting. Is it possible to put a finer slice on the article length data? I suspect based on observation and my own behaviour that articles from 50-200 words are shareable; articles from 200-800 words are dead and articles over 800 words are meaty enough to get passed along. Can this be validated?
Wow! What an epic post, thank you for this. I've found some success being as Gary V coined it a "social DJ," using a combination of sharing other really good long form posts (like this) that are of value/interesting/funny and then adding in my own content as well. Absolutely going to keep all these tips in mind!
Brilliant post. I, too, have seen amazing things by just getting a couple of influencers to retweet a post.
Hey Noah
Nice brother!
What has worked really nice for me recently is to give people the 'steps' to solving their problem, but then giving away something that makes the whole process a lot easier.
Strategically this is given away by either email (as most people do), but depending on the objective I would throw in the 'pay with social media' function.
Here is an example of me using Pay with a Tweet:
(My apologies for link dropping, but it's the only way to show what I'm talking about for those that don't know) - http://growthnerd.com/4-steps-reveal-your-ideal-customer/
In the above piece I wrote a nice meaty piece (using Scrivener - thanks to Appsumo 🙂 ) on how to build a target customer profile. I go a step further then by giving away the actual template for getting it done easier.
It's gotten really nice shares and solid spike in visitors. Got a few hundred unique visits from it and I didn't market this to any influencers at all. Just tweeted about it, shared it on Facebook and Google+ and it went from there.
The key is to make sure your content is quality and that it solves a problem otherwise you're not getting jack squat shared.
p.s - keep up the great posts!
Great tip! Sometimes you have to give people your secret sauce to build an audience.
If you make people feel and appear intelligent to their peers they are more inclined to share. Nice
That's the most useful tip I've ever heard ! Thanks 😀
When repromoting an old post, I've found extracting a memorable line or quote instead of just the post title helps with the number of shares. And adding 'click to tweet' lines throughout also helps.
I find that very effective too, especially if I'm interviewing a bunch of people in the post.
Great research! I have personally noticed that I get more shares on linkedin than on fb during the day probably since most of my target audience is on their work computer where fb but not linkedin, is blocked off. I'm still trying to figure out what type of image (inspirational, career focused, funny) cube dwellers like to reshare.
When all else fails, just put up a Dilbert comic 🙂
Heh, Dilbert never grows old 🙂
I ask.
A few people.
So, it may be a little labor intensive, but I'll put a post up somewhere (with a call to action, with a picture, using a lot of the suggestions here) AND THEN I make a handwritten list of 15 people.
These are people who I "think" have a community reach that would find the article/podcast/event that I'm sharing interesting. And then...I call them on the phone. I know, old school... I say something like:
"Hey, it's Jason. I just posted a podcast - and I know that the people who listen to you would like to listen to it. Can I send you a few tweets/updates/paragraphs to share with your community?"
I get a few shares each week...
Indeed, that's very old school, but sometimes calling someone is the most effective way to reach them.
Viral = Value? What does virality matter if your buzzfeed post is complete garbage to simply drive ADD eyeballs to your website to increase your ad revenue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU1EiKys_Uk
You're right, it's not all about the eyeballs. However, it doesn't hurt to optimize your content so you can increase its reach.
Viral definitely doesn't equal value BUT it certainly doesn't hurt to get a lot of eyes on your content. Perhaps the post itself isn't necessarily value but if your blog is quality, when people come over, they will see what else you have to offer, and potentially convert. It's also great from a link building perspective.
Viral might not necessarily equal value. But value generally equals viral. Create a quality post and put it in the hands of the write people, there is no doubt that it'll be shared by many.
You also need the "right" grammar... not the *write* people... 🙂

Every month, a ragtag group of Londoners gather in the site known as Crossbones Graveyard to commemorate the souls of medieval prostitutes believed to be buried there—the "Winchester Geese," women who were under the protection of the Church but denied Christian burial. In the Borough of Southwark, not far from Shakespeare's Globe, is a pilgrimage site for self-identified misfits, nonconformists, and contemporary sex workers who leave memorials to the outcast dead. Ceremonies combining raucous humor and eclectic spirituality are led by a local playwright, John Constable, also known as John Crow. His interpretation of the history of the site has struck a chord with many who feel alienated in present-day London. Sondra L. Hausner offers a nuanced ethnography of Crossbones that tacks between past and present to look at the historical practices of sex work, the relation of the Church to these professions, and their representation in the present. She draws on anthropological approaches to ritual and time to understand the forms of spiritual healing conveyed by the Crossbones rites. She shows that ritual is a way of creating the present by mobilizing the stories of the past for contemporary purposes.
Sondra L. Hausner is Associate Professor in the Study of Religion, St. Peter's College, at the University of Oxford.
"In one sense this is a book about the role of sex work in English society, past and present. At the same time it is a profound meditation on how such work sheds light on changing relations between community and capital, on how ritual is a source of both repetition and creativity in contemporary England, and on how anthropology and history can talk to each other in productive and deeply nuanced ways. . . . I read it in one sitting, which was an unusual pleasure."
— Simon Coleman, University of Toronto
"This monograph would be best for people grounded in anthropology, religion, and English history, but offers many insights to nonexperts. It would be a good addition to any university library."
— Religion and Gender
"Hausner's is an affectionate and sympathetic portrayal of the Crossbones ritualists, and it is excellent to see this tradition receiving scholarly attention"

Address by FRA Director Morten Kjaerum to press conference launching the FRA antisemitism survey report, Vienna, 8 November 2013.
Good morning, and welcome to FRA. You may have noticed the plaque as you came in describing the history of this building: built by a Jewish family in the late nineteenth century, it was confiscated by the Nazi regime in 1938 and restored to its owners only after 1946. So this building already has a story to tell about antisemitism and its effects.
But we are not here to talk about history; we are here to talk about the present. The survey that FRA is publishing today is the first ever to collect the perceptions of Jews themselves on fundamental rights issues such as antisemitic discrimination and hate crime across a number of EU Member States. The report covers responses from over 5,800 Jewish people in the eight countries in which some 90% of the estimated Jewish population in the EU live.
Reading the report, we can really see how important it is to talk to the Jewish communities in Europe today about their lives, their experiences and their fears. This is what human rights are all about – the individual.
So what do we see?
The fears of violence or harassment are not always mirrored in real events: the percentage of respondents who had actually been physically attacked was far lower. But it is not the figures that are important; it is the fear. For example, one young Jewish woman told us:
"I probably wouldn't wear a Star of David necklace or scarf... This kind of behaviour is partly paranoia on the part of the Jewish community – but unfortunately, nasty stuff does happen. I'd spend the whole time looking over my shoulder."
Because fear drains people's strength, preventing them from living their lives openly, as each of us has the right to do. And that's why we have to address the fear factor. As with other forms of hate crime – and we should all be clear that antisemitic attacks are hate crimes – an antisemitic attack does not only affect one individual victim.
Hate crime does lasting damage to entire communities, but such offences too often remain unrecognised, unprosecuted and therefore invisible. If a person is targeted just because they are Jewish, the entire community becomes afraid that they might be next. Or if a person suffers harassment because they are Jewish, they may be anxious that the perpetrator could return to inflict greater harm.
As another person told us:
"Yesterday a swastika was drawn on my post-box because of my name, and I did not have the slightest idea what to do."
Despite the shock of their experiences, few victims are able or willing to report their experiences. In the survey, we found that 76% of those who had experienced antisemitic harassment over the last five years did not report the most serious incident to the police or any other organisation [see slide 2].
This figure suggests to what degree we may be underestimating the extent of antisemitic violence and harassment when we look at official government data. We have seen from our research and many other studies that the magnitude of this 'dark figure' is similar for other forms of hate crime.
Therefore, measures must be taken to build the trust needed for victims to feel safe to report their experiences and these measures must be taken urgently. We cannot keep putting off the issue and denying there is a reality that needs to be addressed. This means advanced training for police, but also in municipalities; in the court system; and among prosecutors, who must be sensitised towards this kind of offence and above all how to deal with victims and whom to put them in contact with so they receive the help they need. Indeed, I would really like to see an increase in the number of reported hate crimes, because that would mean the police and the other authorities were taking it seriously.
In terms of combating antisemitism:
Most important is that there is no social acceptance for antisemtism. And here, public figures – politicians, but also other opinion makers – have a particular responsibility, and must take the lead. These people have easy access to media, to the big microphones, and must be especially aware what they are saying and what messages they are sending out to society.
One of the recommendations FRA makes in the report is that politicians and opinion makers "should clearly denounce and condemn [antisemitic] statements when made by others..." There is no compromise on antisemitism, no mid-way point. Only a rapid and definitive response will make clear that antisemitic statements are undemocratic and unacceptable.
A similar dynamic can be observed with antisemitism on the internet. Anti-Jewish sentiment online was considered the most serious manifestation of antisemitism in seven out of the eight countries covered by the report. I quote one of the interviewees from the survey:
"I feel that since going on Facebook, I have experienced more antisemitic comments in a few years than I have done throughout my whole life. This is very dispiriting, the speed at which hostile comments and misinformation can be passed around is frightening and leads to a sense of deep unease..."
Bullying, harassment and antisemitic expressions of hatred on the internet are proliferating, causing a lot of distress. That is why we are arguing that Member States should develop a list of good practices when writing on the internet to be included in school curricula, so that we can train our kids, talk to them about how to express themselves when they're on the internet, on social platforms. We're only at the beginning of learning how to do this, and our report will hopefully feed into that discussion.
Let me conclude with this slide. For me, this was one of the most dramatic findings, and sums up the levels of fear we're speaking of. On average, 29% of respndents considered emigrating in the past five years, and in a few countries that goes up to over 45 %. [see slide 3] And for me this is a clear signal that there is a lot we need to do at all levels of society, from the very top political level, through the ministries, through people at the municipalities, to people at the local level, people involved in education, working in schools. All of us should read this report and ask themselves: "What can I do better?"
Thank you for listening.

If there were background music for the drama unfolding in Europe right now, it would be Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. And Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's soon-to-be-former Prime Minister, would play the lead role. During his 18 years in politics, Berlusconi--a onetime cruise-ship crooner whose political troubles have delayed the release of his album of love songs--has faced more than 50 no-confidence votes, dozens of allegations involving everything from tax evasion to Mafia ties to drugs and, of course, numerous sex scandals. His exploits on that score, from a relationship with an underage Moroccan belly dancer to the "bunga bunga" orgies with prostitutes...

Timothy.martin necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 75 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
An Interesting Development
Our newly formed company, An Interesting Development, LLC, is in need of a logo. We are a web-based software development company that has found a small niche in the market.
Web-based software development customers. We currently have three customers but see the potential to gain many more. Our current customers are using one of our services but could possibly request additional services. we're looking for something professional looking and makes current and future customers take notice.
Currently, our site is under construction and we need this new logo in order to complete the design of the site. We are looking for a logo that represents our purpose as well as possibly plays off the name or concept of an interesting development (or bright idea). The original concept was a light bulb (not cartoonish) with rays of light extending from it. The logo should be bold colors (no pastel colors) and be original, some 3D perspective is nice but not a requirement. Additionally, please do not make it look too clipart looking. We will be using this logo for our website, business cards, and letterhead. The above light bulb concept is only a suggestion. We challenge you to create something that astounds us and fits our organization. If you choose to go another direction (not a light bulb) that is perfectly fine with us as long as it in some way represents us and looks professional. If you want to create a logo plus the name, that's fine. If you want to use the first letters of the name (AID)as a logo, that's fine also (as long as the full name is still in the design). Upon purchase of the winning logo, An interesting Development, LLC will own all intellectual property and have exclusive rights to said logo.
