In marketing, creating viral content is considered the holy grail of success, but how to create something that is viral is where the big questions come into play.

What is viral content marketing? Before we try to make something viral, we need to understand what viral content marketing is. Viral content is a piece of information being circulated quickly and widely over the internet. Something goes viral when it is shared several times across different platforms.

Understand Your Target

To create something viral, you must focus on more than the sole purpose of it going viral. Put your energy instead towards fully understanding your target audience – their interests, what makes them laugh, cry, and ultimately – share your content.

Create Actionable Content

While content that’s funny can be ideal, the best viral content is the kind that has a deeper purpose, teaches something, or evokes a specific emotion is more likely have a longer life. If you create content that is useful and practical, it will have more chance of being shared.

Do it Again

There are many different types of viral content that can appeal to your target based on your organization.

Whether you are trying to gain a larger following, get the word out about a cause or organization, or simply make waves in the digital world, creating viral content may be the way to do it. Before you can go viral, make sure your SEO skills are up-to-date.
