Let’s start by defining what exactly a viral video is. Viral videos gain almost instant popularity. They all have some form of brand/self promotion and extremely high entertainment value. Remember people surf the net for two reasons: to solve a problem or be entertained. If your video can solve a problem and entertain the masses simultaneously…you’re VIRAL!
Benchmarks of a viral video.
Keep it short 15-90 seconds, 15-30 seconds is ideal.
Allow the video to be easily remixed. DO NOT advertise.
Create shock value.
If you have a call to action in your video, make sure your link is the first thing in the description.
I recommend making 3-5 videos, and bringing in a group of friends to do a “focus group.” Have the focus group determine which of the 3-5 videos was the best and, specifically, how well it met these traits below. Unique Funny Stupid Dangerous Strange/Weird Gross Worth talking about
Once you’ve produced a video, how do we make it go viral? It is NOT easy and requires consistent promotion.
