Five reasons why videos go viral

• They are short and to-the-point

  Research shows that videos that are between 1-2 minutes long are watched more often than longer videos. If you’ve seen many viral videos, you’ll notice that most of them are short and convey everything they want to in a clear and concise format. If you want to create a viral video, keep the duration under 2 minutes.

• They are optimistic and upbeat

  You may have observed that most viral videos that are really enjoyed by people are always upbeat, fun and optimistic. No tragic or depressing video ever becomes a viral sensation. If you’re planning on trying your hand at viral video marketing, make sure you choose a topic that’s enjoyable and entertaining.

• They are engaging and interactive

  All viral videos work due to one factor – engagement. Makers of viral videos often insert themselves in the video to communicate with audiences or use other tools to actively interact with audiences. This high level of interaction and engagement is what keeps audiences hooked and entertained; leading to more shares and the video going viral. When you do start work on your video, make sure you keep the audiences engaged by including lots of questions, polls and other interactive elements.

• They’re extremely weird

  Many videos that go viral, go viral because they either talk about lesser-known events or take an unexpected and weird approach to a topic that audiences already know well about. This unique format is what entertains and stimulates audiences emotionally and intellectually, leading to the video becoming a favorite and going viral. If you’re creating a viral video, make sure you take a unique or humorous stand which is worth taking notice of.
