5 Awesome, Non-boring Tips to Viral Success
We are all aware of people and event s going viral over night. We are aware of videos on YouTube
getting millions of hits in matter of weeks. (Call me maybe?). And while we are staring in disbelief of
their online success there are lessons to be learned from them. What do these videos have in
common, and how can that help your online strategy? Here are 5 awesome non-boring tips to viral
success that you might find useful.
Be funny and sweet. If you can, be both
The whatshername that sings “Call me maybe” is awfully sweet. She is the ultimate girl next door.
The guy that sings “Gangsam style” is just too funny.
The lesson here is that Social Media doesn’t have to be serious and traditional. In fact, it shouldn’t
be. Be funny and entertaining in your communication with cust omers. Make jokes about your
business and field you are working on. Clients will appreciate it.
Give your brand some personality
Here the important thing that you need to keep an eye on is brand consistency. People like a brand
they can relate to. They like a brand that has personality. If “funny” is the message you are trying
to communicate stay funny all the time. Of course there will be times when you have to promote a
product to make a sale, but just remember to live the personality you want to give to your brand. If
your current social media manager can’t do it, hire somebody else.
Do what you do best
If you are trying to copy or “improve” every idea you see succeeding on the internet you will not get
anything done. You have to stick to what you know and what you do best. There are way too
many people who get easily impressed, and try to follow the next best thing, not realizing that
they know nothing about that subject. I bet you didn’t know but t he guy who sings “Gangam style”
has been a musician for 12 years.
Share everything
You never know which one of your ideas are going to become a success. Of course, there will be
times when you you feel like you have a really good idea, and you don’t get the response you
need when you publish it. But that is the trick with public opinion. There are definitely going to be
some surprises along the way.

Get help from infuencers
These are the people that pretty much form t he public opinion about a certain subject. If you have
them on your side, you are on the right path. You have to connect with some influencers who
know the market, and have many connections. These days influencers may not make the world go
round, but t hey will certainly make your campaign more successful.
