For ages, I’ve been searching for a viral videos explainer video. How does one produce a viral video? What makes a video go viral? What do I need to do to make one of my videos go viral?

Is There A Viral Videos Explainer Video?

Sure there are many videos on YouTube that profess to show you how to make a viral video. Hardly any of them have their own viral video to back them up though.

Viral Video Tips

After extensively searching through YouTube’s videos, I finally managed to put a video together which I called Why Does A Video Go Viral. In that video, I discussed the following points.

• The importance of Thumbnails: How important are they for getting a video to go viral?
• Will ranking first on YouTube lead to a viral video? This point was stressed by a lot of YT’ers.
• The Snowball effect
• The importance of playing to people’s emotions
• The length of viral videos: How long should a viral video be?

Best YouTube Tools

Those are just some of the points I cover in my Viral Video Expose. You’ll also see in the video how I use TubeBuddy to help me rank better on YouTube.

Knowing the importance of Thumbnails I use The YouTube Graphics Creator. It helped me to design the thumbnail for my video on what makes a video go viral.

Other Interesting Topics

We all know that I’m trying to build my YouTube Channel. I’ve mentioned it in several posts including my Latest YouTube Update.

Something many YT’s aren’t doing is leaving good comments. In order to help them get an advantage, I produced my how to leave great comments on YouTube video. What with the uproar about YouTube deleting channels and banning comments of others because of people abusing the comments section I figured it was the perfect timing for my commenting video.

Have you ever noticed the crappy comments on YouTube? Yep, YouTube is full of crappy comments. The question is why are the so many crappy comments on YouTube. Is it because commenters don’t know any better? Is it because everyone believes that getting rid of crappy comments is an infringement of free speech?

Crappy Comments On YouTube Great For Marketing

Actually, we can thank our lucky stars that there are so many crappy comments on YouTube and I’m going to tell you why. I’ve written a lot of posts on the importance of commenting, including Teaching People The Proper Way To Comment. I’ve used my commenting on other blogs over the years, and it paid off by increasing both my traffic and my readership.

We all know that I’m trying to build my YouTube Channel. I’ve mentioned it in several posts including my Latest YouTube Update. That’s when it hit me. Because of all the poor comments, people leave on YouTube if I was to start leaving exceptional comments that would make me stand out from the crowd. People should, therefore, start to notice me and a great percentage of those people should follow my comments back to my YouTube channel. Heck, they may even subscribe.

I’d be getting more comments and more subscribers. A win-win situation, wouldn’t you agree.

I thought that would also be a great time to produce another video, one about how to leave great comments on YouTube. What with the uproar about YouTube deleting channels and banning comments of others because of people abusing the comments section I figured it was the perfect timing for my commenting video.

Since then I’ve been selecting what I feel are the best videos to comment on and leaving what I feel are exceptional comments. I’ll try to continue that regimen for as long as possible hoping that my commenting theory is correct.
