   I think your introductory paragraph did not come to the point quickly enough. You should tighten it up. Forget about talking about how everyone wants to go viral, etc. Instead, explain why if you love to backpack you should combine your passion for travel with writing a blog and then go right into explaining why.
   
   You have a very limited amount of time to catch the reader's attention Unless the first paragraph convinces them that the rest of the article has something they are interested in, they will leave, and this also affects your quality assessment.
   
   Your title is also a bit off. You wouldn't normally say "4 Vital Reasons ..." Vital is awkward and not normally used in this context. You should consider saying the Top 4 Reasons or 4 Great Reasons ...
   
   I did not fully read the rest of the article. I see that you did have a breakdown of the reasons, which is good.

   I agree with what quotations has said. I also have another idea about why the article hasn't passed the Quality Assessment Process.
   
   The first numbered section in particular makes it sound like all a person has to do is to write about their travels and then they will earn a lot of money. I think you might need to change the language to indicate that this outcome is not assured and that a person's articles have only a small chance of going viral. I think you will also need to add some kind of disclaimer in order to get the article featured.
