An article worth passing on - six ways to create viral content

Bill Gates once said the right sentence: content is king. And he was right.

You can have an amazing technology, a great idea or an initiative. What will be determined at the end is the content. Because surfers, just like other people, are looking for content. Content that would interest them, that would please them, but mainly to give them added value, some benefit.
Viral Internet Marketing
Whether it's a quick break from everyday hassles to useful content that can help them and promote them in one way or another. So content is king. And so does his place in the world of social media marketing and the promotion of websites. Because good content creates traffic, good content builds up an image, and good content makes people talk about you. That's what matters.
So how to create quality content, content that makes surfers do the work for you and in return distribute it among their friends, mailing lists and email and share on their Facebook page. What is the DNA of a Successful Viral Content? Here are the six cornerstones for creating such content:

1. Be ridiculous
A large part of most viral videos present ridiculous characters and situations. If you can create such a character for your brand you can expect traffic and sharing of surfers in return. Like the excellent example of the Old Spice model that has won countless shares both because of the absurd monologue and because of wit, remembrance and absorption. Not only did the users share, they also created different parodies and variations on the advertisement and increased exposure. So do not be afraid, be ridiculous, it pays ....

2. These trends are rising
It is not wise to ride on the back of existing trends, for what is "hot" right now. The trick is to identify what is going to be the next big thing and be there before everyone else. So spend time trying to identify and connect with the emerging trends and trends. In this way you will attract all users and lots of attention. And paying attention to your brand is a good thing.

3. Think in terms of sound
Sometimes content becomes viral only because it sounds catchy and reminding. Take, for example, the video that became a huge hit of the next taxidermist (yes, one that fills animals ...) that all that was caught there, beyond the ridiculously ridiculous production, is the nope repetition. Look at the number of views and ask yourself if you would not want a counter like this on your viral video ...

4. Use Infographic
People like graphs in beautiful shapes and neat information. Successful infographs constitute a significant percentage of the viral content on the web and therefore it is worth spreading interesting information on the web using well designed graphs with fascinating content (or absurd ...). If the content is relevant, entertaining, amazing or useful, users will already point to the mouse.

5. Use an influential body
Sponsorship or connection from a familiar, large and influential body can be an excellent lever to create a viral effect to your content. Once you've created your best content and created relationships with such entities, ask them to post your content to them. This will expose your content to a larger audience of larger body surfers and give you greater credibility and credibility to your content.

6. Offer an outstanding value
People are looking for benefits. People are interested. They want them to be laughed, moved, or done for them. In return they are willing to share and promote the successful content. Check your competitors - do they show, for example, lists like "Big Ten"? Do more and make a list of the "Big Hundred" of your industry or industry. Users will already learn to value your investment and in return will make you stand out and be viral.
This. These are the six tips. The entire Torah is about six feet. Remember - worth being funny, personal, interesting, exciting, giving. You'll get plenty back.
