If it bleeds... it leads.

Posting gory, scary, anger-inciting stuff made William Hearst a billionaire. BM just took a page of that well-worn and STILL EFFECTIVE playbook. If you think about it, Hearst was just the Viralnova/upworthy/Buzzfeed of his day.

If I were BM though, I'd look into building a viral site.

Step 1: Get gory / scary / anger-inciting content through social media shares (sociocaster is a good tool for sniping these)

Step 1A: Use template-driven viral headlines like the ones used at upworthy etc

Step 2: Put them up on a WP blog with a theme that 'harvests' clicks (if you joined top viral FB groups, you've seen these themes)

Step 2A: Reshare on forums / FB groups / Twitter (use popular hashtags) / Pinterest / Reddit

Step 3: Make money off CPA

Step 4: Flip that site on Flippa and repeat again.

Just thinking out loud instead of the usual "BAN BM" stuff

Some people aready do that... except not with the gore photos and we dont do it on GFY.

And you left out the most important part to make it work correctly.
