What's your secret sauce for creating viral content?
by•
Hey hustlers! We all dream of that one piece of content going viral and bringing a flood of traffic. Have you cracked the code? Or stumbled upon a happy accident?
It depends on which platform you want to use.
Timing is a big one for all platforms - if you can keep things less than 30 seconds (ideally between 10 -15 seconds now for best performance) for video content it helps.
TikTok content that feels genuine always performs better. Also adding text on screen to your VO helps the backend claim what content category your stuff fits in. Less hashtags, do not bombard the hashtags they don't work as well as text on screen does.
Instagram capitalize on reels and aesthetics. It's a visual platform for a reason so remember that branding can make it seem less authentic and give poor aesthetics.
To be fair...
Just posting something related to my niche and adding a personal story!
It sounds very simple, but has been very effective for me so far!
I think truly "viral" content is typically a happy accident - but that doesn't mean you can't have and see success every day! So much thought and planning goes into social marketing and strategy. Having the added "pressure" of creating viral content is not sustainable, nor is it a healthy approach to marketing. Staying consistent and true to your audience needs to be valued over trying to manufacture viral content.

Being creative is crucial. And creativity is combining two distinct things in a single content to me. Just like; electronics and toilet. And putting also some minor effects (ASMR is a good sample) works a lot.
If talking about viral text/articles - I like this guide from the guy who started viralnova.com (a clickbaity site but gets tons of traffic).

The secret is there's no secret ;) at least that's how I see it. It depends on how attentive you're to the current industry trends and how well you understand your audience.

I guess humor remains a key element? Don't you remember anything that made you burst out laughing or even smirk out a faint smile? Did I ever create anything viral? Certainly not ^^
