Want Content to Go Viral? Here's What You Can Do

Can you really predict which type of your content will go viral? Any tweet of your or any blog post? Sometimes, it really becomes difficult to estimate your content performance. We really don't know which content type can go viral when and how. However, it does not limit the efforts or the creativity that is required to create a master piece. The overall concept of virality looks little bit accidental, which cannot be planned.
Here are certain ideas that can help add value to your content.
1) When any type of content is shared or liked? When an audience feels it connect with it emotionally, your content’s success journey starts from there. Finally, it’s all about human. Whatever you write – a blog, a social media post, video or any tweet – the audience should identify the relation with it. That’s where they try to acknowledge and appreciate it.
2) Apart from emotional connect, it is important that content should trigger some passion or inspiration within the readers. Does your story inspire anyone to do good stuff or change their thought process or does it have the capacity to influence them in any way. While creating content, one need to understand the influence value of it.

3) Curiosity is another important factor that encourages users to share the content. To learn more about it and share it with the peer, users will definitely take the next step.
Going viral is a phenomenon that encourages next action after readers see your content. It can be in terms of sharing, liking or commenting. How your content is initiating or inspiring this next step creates the perfect recipe to make the content go viral.
