5 Tips to go Viral on Social Media
“Social Media is not a fad, it is the way we communicate”. Social media has changed the way we interact and establish connections with our friends, family and colleagues, thereby impacting our lifestyle. Spending quality time on social media, now-a-days seems to be more precious than spending time with our loved ones. Basically, the need to get connected to a huge audience in the virtual world comes from the feeling of loneliness in real world. It naturally comes from the inner desire to explore and talk to unknown people. People also want to get connected to brands and big shot influencers with the hope of projecting their own contents. Social media has become an amazing platform for all creative people, ranging from entrepreneurs, businessmen, musicians to event planners to showcase and advertise their work. Getting to see your video go viral, is a dream come true for any musician or a market influencer. Making a content go viral requires a lot of patience and has to appeal to the interests of the audience.
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter are the leading platforms of social media marketing, capable of making videos go viral. There are few steps to follow for making a video go viral:-
1) Putting effort on creating a good quality content:
Many brands focus only on advertising strategies rather than engaging on creating meaningful content. A musician or businessman will become a brand only when they generate quality content that will engage their audience.
2) Recognizing your audience:
As we know, it is not possible to please and be nice to everyone; similarly any content creator will have his own section of audience. So, it is very important to know your audience and create content according to their interests, which will be shared in their network.
3) Partnering with an influencer:-
After recognizing your audience and followers, the next step is to connect with a social media influencer. Partnering with an influencer increases the set of audience and followers.
For example, in YouTube, a vocalist is able to reach out to a wide range of audience when he or she releases the video from an influencer’s channel. This increases the chances of going viral.
4) Getting connected to resourceful people from the industry:
Being friendly to established personnel from the industry is one of the crucial marketing strategies.
For example, before the launch of a product or the release of a video, a start-up businessman or a vocalist can request his senior to promote his work through a video. This helps in engaging a wide range of audience.
5) Tagging on Facebook and adding hash tags on Instagram:
Tagging your content with relevant people on Facebook increases your chances of your content getting more likes and shares. Similarly adding hash tags on Instagram forces people to view your content.
Last of all, making a video go viral may depend on your luck as well. With these time-tested strategies, the chances of creating viral videos get enhanced. So be patient and passionate, your luck can change anytime!
