We just\u00a0launched\u00a0Shareaholic Channels<\/a>, our topic-based collections of content from our best publishers, and we want to feature even more amazing publishers in the Shareaholic Network.<\/p>\n

Think you might be a fit? Read on to see how Channels works and apply for Channels at the bottom of the page:<\/p>\n

How to be Selected for Channels<\/h3>\n

We take several factors into consideration. First, you must be a Shareaholic Publisher (interested in becoming one? keep reading)<\/strong>. If you have our\u00a0free publisher tools<\/a>\u00a0installed,\u00a0we’ll be able to know which of your posts to feature in the Channel, making it the best traffic-driving opportunity for you.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, we take a look the quality of your content. Pageviews, shares, social media followings and comments help, sure. But most of all, we\u2019re hoping to feature well-written, consistent content.<\/p>\n

How to Succeed in Channels<\/h3>\n

In Channels? Congrats, you are awesome! Now we know you\u2019re wondering how you can make the most of this opportunity, improve your rank and ensure your content is featured at the top of every Channels page.<\/p>\n

The content that\u2019s revealed above the fold generally gets the most pageviewed, shares, \u201cFavorites\u201d and \u201cRead Later\u201d bookmarks<\/a>–or in more practical terms–it\u2019s useful, rememberable, visually-compelling and overall the best in its class.<\/p>\n
