10 out of 10 content strategies, but it gets increasingly more niche. Watch time is the main factor that makes all videos go viral. If it does not have good watch time, it will not go viral. Structure your videos with a hook, build up, and payoff to achieve high watch time. At the start of your video, your hook should make the viewer ask a question, and at the end of the video, your payoff should answer that question. If a video does well, change one or two components and repost it one month later. Instead of only posting one version of each video, make five different versions. Post all of them to trial reels and share the best performing one to everyone. Take the format of an already viral video and plug in your own topic to make it yours. Every viral video has at least one of the three e's of value, entertainment value, educational value, and emotional value. If three of your videos underperform in a row, your next video will have a smaller initial audience. But if three of your videos outperform in a row, your next video will have a larger initial audience. If you wanna learn about all of these strategies more in-depth, then make sure to follow the best marketer in the world.
