Viral content
As a testament to the relatability of the content, many of the articles went viral on Facebook. As a result, we received incredibly steep spikes to the traffic within a short span of 2-3 days. One of the most viral articles, 20 things I learnt from University garnered 3000 Facebook shares and 80,000 views in 1 week. Many of these evergreen content continue to be shared by readers months after it first went viral. The rewards from a single piece of good content were huge. We continued experimenting with different articles to hone our “virality intuition” and glad to say, we got pretty good at it.

Thought leadership
You know that you are providing real value to readers when they start writing in to express their gratitude. This is profound because content helps to establish the kind of trust that is typically hard to achieve over the internet. Food for thought: Would it be as hard to close the sales once your company is seen as the thought leader in your prospects’ minds ?
Came across Digital Senior’s guide by chance. Thanks to the guide, I got the information I needed. Just felt an urge to say that Digital Senior is awesome!!! Thank you for publishing your honest and thorough reviews of almost all universities in Singapore. This has saved me so much time by allowing me to streamline the process of finding the best university suited to my needs. It is the best site that I have found for local Uni admissions. Keep up the good work!
