  1. Take the news from a different angle – when the big names are seeing a very harmful tiger, try to picture it like a cat. That will make your story different and interesting for people; although most wouldn’t really like this your way of seeing things, over time, most will still come to check what you have to say about the whole thing and this can get them into the net of subscription and convert them to loyal readers.
  2. Try the summaries – people are getting tired of reading the long stories from the news websites, so if you make it a top ten things to take away from the trending news, people will want to read that and will always depend on you for the summary.
  3. Build a fanbase with consistency – how often you come up with the amazing things to determine how many will follow.
  4. Spend some money on ads- while you are working hard to get the likes with quality content, also spend some money to promote the site. From spending on targeted page likes to website traffic.
  5. Use facebook bot to get subscribers – the facebook bot can do some of the work if not most. All you have to do is get the people to subscribe to it and they will continue to get your news delivered straight into their messenger app without additional work.
