Recently, the New York Times featured an article detailing the lives of those whose YouTube videos generated wild—and unexpected—success. The ability of otherwise “normal” people to become instant celebrities on the Internet demonstrates that there is no better time than now to achieve recognition on a national, or even global, scale. Of course, luck is the essential component when making a silly or entertaining video that millions watch and share, but there are several aspects of YouTube videos gone viral that content marketers can learn from. Here are a few lessons:
1. Look for entertainment or enlightenment in the mundane.
2. Make titles simple and relatable.
3. Position your content such that it can be picked up by A-list bloggers.
4. Use different platforms and methods to market your content.
