A month ago, I published an article that showcased the power of an AI Text-to-art generator model Dall-E2.

The tool is so powerful and easy to use I wanted to put it to the test in a fun experiment. Why not let it create portraits of Harry Potter characters based on their book descriptions?

So I did and published the story.

It took off pretty quickly and has since racked up over 53K views and $693.39.

How did I do it?

Here are a few tips:

  1. Use pop-culture reference
  2. Make it easy to read
  3. Promote your article

Let’s discuss them one by one.

1. Use Pop-culture Reference

If you want to get people to read what you write, or at least click on it, it’s important to consider how to tickle their interests.

Using pop-culture references can help you connect with your audience on a more personal level.
