Did you notice how Ashton Kutcher jumped on the viral wagon?

If you go to his page.. the verified one (sorry, can't post a link because of low post count). He does exactly what viral nova and others are doing... I'm just wondering why? or I'd guess his affiliates are controlling this page, not him specifically. What do you make of that?

Kutcher is a big time investor, he is probably using his profile to boost one of the startups he invested in. of course, I doubt he is personally posting anything

Yea.. so I heard. No doubt he isn't personally sitting there and posting.

He's been a heavy investor and venture capitalist in the tech market for a while.

I see many celebs doing this right now,boosting new startups and prodcuts

same as any other celebrity he is merely a tool for the more powerful to extract wealth from the adoring public

^ I like how you said that lol.

I read up (A LOT) on this. Finally launched my own. It's a long the lines of Viral Nova and Buzzfeed. I launched about a week ago and average out 1000+ visitors per day. Facebook page has about 500 likes.

It's easy setting up a "clone" of VN. That is why there are thousands. The difficult part is 1) getting the traffic and 2) getting good "viralworthy" content. 2 is the most difficult and time consuming. That is why many of these clones fail. Lack of motivation to put in the effort. For the first 5 days, I would spent 18-20 hours a day on this. Most of that time was going to getting, finding, putting together good content. Surprisingly the ones that were shared the most were ones I put together myself (instead of getting from elsewhere like VN).

I'm deciding to actually take this seriously so I'm continue to bit in a lot of work/time. I'll come back for an update in a couple weeks and/or in a month!

*Tried putting in my website, couldn't because I haven't been a member long enough. I'll just be back with an update!

Edit:The link to the website is in my profile if you wish to follow it's progress (or lack of).
