Thank you Chad. Some of these clickbait stories do better than others financially--it seems to all depend on the title. As far as I can tell, the way people find the stories is they go to humor topic and click on the titles that interest them. I haven't figured out exactly what it is that makes a title seductive enough here. The best performing this month were Mother Sees Detail On Kid’s Drawing — Screams When She Realizes What It Means (which has a morbid interest) and Man Gives His Girlfriend a Necklace — When She Opens It Two Years Later She Is Left Shaking (which with the shaking thing has morbid excitement too, so I guess morbid might be a key!) .This series about the man going to the bathroom and the waiter leaving a note has that hook, what's going to happen, that mystery. It's not morbid though, so what do I know! Three of these clickbait stories have made me over 500 dollars each though and I enjoy writing them so I'm going to ride it! Thanks for commenting.
