Virality is based on several factors. For the sake of time I'll list some examples:
-Know the Algorithm: Depending where you post (Facebook, Youtube, Insta, etc.) You need to understand how the algorithm works. Look up tutorials on algorithms based on the platform you want. In a nutshell the algorithm is what decides what content to boost and suggest to others.
-Boosted posts: You can actually pay most of these platforms to shout out your videos these days. You will have to spend a ton of money to reach a viral level, but it will help a ton!
-Call to action: In your video you need to tell people to share it. This is Rick Lax's bread and butter. Notice he literally tells you *sometimes a little too much for my taste) to share the video. You need to find a creative way to do this in your vid. You can ask for shares directly, or add text at the end asking to share.
-Creative: Get creative. Content that looks different has a tendency to go viral. I did a video one day because i was bored and didn't even think it was that good, but the actual content was creative. It did 50,000 views in 1 week. The best videos are ones that fool the viewer and make them watch over and over again, or have some sort of pop culture draw (ie. performing a trick for Selina Gomez may go viral even if the trick is basic as heck!)
-Luck: Sometimes you just get lucky. The more you roll the dice, the better your chances of hitting that winning number! So keep doing it!
-Ask for help: Have your friends (those with a ton of followers are best) help share your video. The more initial views it gets, the happier the algorithm will be. This may help get it going!
hope any of this helps. Just know that though math and science are involved, it is never a guarantee. Just keep doing what you love and eventually you will notice growth. Here is a screenshot of one of my viral vids. I don't even think that it is the best vid TBH! lol But since Demian Aditya is in it it blew up!
and ill even upload the video itself so you can see it. Im telling you. It doesn't have to be amazingly well filmed or anything. Just something fun that people will like and it has a chance to blow up!!! Check out
