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.

• We can help you identify the ideal times for posting videos
  One of the main reasons why a brand’s videos don’t go viral is the mismatch between the posting time and the active audience time. Your audience is active only during certain hours of the day and if you don’t post your videos during these hours, the chances of your production going viral are slim.

  The staff at Crafted can assist you in identifying the time of day your audience is most active and we can help you create a video scheduling plan that can maximize your chances to go viral.

• We can direct you towards your industry’s key tastemakers

  We can direct you towards the right people who may be able to give your video the push it needs to go viral online.

• We can help you identify potential sponsors and supporters
  Before you plan your viral video, it’s important to identify who will be most interested in partnering with you once your video does go viral. Essentially, these are the people who will pay for your video to be seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. It’s important to recognize who these companies or individuals might be so that you can make informed content and marketing decisions now.

  Our team at Crafted can help you understand (and improve) your video’s sponsorship potential through focused content creation.
