The essential steps to make anything go viral

I understand most of the tips but I really don't understand triggers. I get the concept of setting up a trigger for your audience but how? I guess my question is how do you set up a trigger for something like a youtube video?

Hi @soupermedic. That is a very good question. It really does not depend on the channel you use (Youtube in this case) but more on the content of the video.

Another clever example that be found in the book Contagious illustrates this phenomenon. The song "Friday" by Rebecca Black was considered one of the worst songs of all times. However, it got millions of views on Youtube. Studies have shown that the views spiked, guess when? On Fridays. People were reminded of this song every Friday by association, thus even though the song was bad, it gained incredible popularity.

I hope this example made it clearer for you.

Yes, that clears the water for me. Thank you very much.
