The Path to Virality

About a month ago, I experienced significant virality across several accounts with multiple videos. I’ve harnessed that data to curate even more viral content, and now it's your turn. Below are my top four tips for making your TikTok videos go viral.

1. Create Multiple Parts

One of the simplest yet most effective strategies is to create series of videos. Not only does this give you several chances to go viral, but the algorithm also seems to favor parts of a series. Think about your own viewing habits: when you stumble upon a viral video, you often look for a ‘part two’ or subsequent parts. Pay attention to the content you enjoy—and replicate it. Remember, every piece of content tells a story, and multi-part stories capture more interest.

2. Always Have an Awesome Hook

Your video needs to grab attention right from the first two seconds. This hook can be the difference between the algorithm favoring your content and it fading into obscurity with only 300 views. Start your video with its most compelling moment, and continually monitor your own content critically. Would you watch it or just swipe past it?

3. Focus on the Editing

Editing is crucial in video production. Poor editing can detract from your content, while quality editing enhances it. Consider adding captions to improve viewer retention; not only do they aid comprehension, but they also visually engage viewers. If captions aren't your thing, try incorporating relevant visual elements like GIFs. Keeping your audience visually stimulated is essential for capturing and maintaining their attention.

Finally, focus on creating content around subjects with existing popularity and interest. My most viral videos centered on widely-discussed topics like Mr. Beast and Disney Plus. Since people consistently seek this type of content, targeting such themes can significantly boost your visibility.

Conclusion

So there you have it—my four tips for going viral on TikTok. Remember, creating multiple parts, having a compelling hook, focusing on strong editing, and selecting trending topics are your keys to success.
