Could your video go viral?

Viral videos are what many business people dream of when beginning their Inbound Marketing strategy, sometimes with unrealistic expectations. Ensuring that a video of yours goes viral is impossible, but understanding their makeup, allows you to set it up for the possibility. By their nature, viral videos follow the pattern of a rapid increase of views, a couple of days with a very high number of views, and then a gentle decrease that can generate many daily views for a long period of time. Not surprisingly, the comments on these videos run pretty much the same pattern, engaging people at very high levels.

In case, you missed any of these during the year, pick a link to follow the full version now. My favorite is “This Too Shall Pass OK Go”. I love Rube Goldberg machines even more than the Old Spice guy.

    I remember my mother threatening to telephone the North Pole and let Santa know about our tantrums. She’d started dialing on that rotary phone. One. Chuklunk. Eight. Chuklunk, chuklunk, chuklunk… By the time she got to the third digit, our naughty turned nice. Santa Cam is 24/7 surveillance for all the boys and girls sitting in front of computer screens surfing the internet.
