So you want to go viral. It could be for future fame, financial gain, or
because you really believe in your message.

behind your viral Facebook post. And all three can be a reality for you if you
follow these tips!
Read on to figure out how to use Facebook to your advantage and get your
name or message out to the masses.
1.
Creating a Viral Facebook Post: The Hook
You can’t have a viral Facebook post without a topic. The topic and how
it’s worded is going to be the “hook” that catches your readers. If the
information is not of interest to them, they will keep on scrolling, looking
for something better.
The title of your post, or the linked image, will be the first thing
your audience sees and notices. Creativity, humor, or shock value matter.
The reader’s first taste of the article or post should be relevant to
them and give them a taste of what they may be in for when they begin to read.
Many people are not going to become engaged in an article that doesn’t interest
them in some way. This means they likely won’t share it, hindering the
likelihood of a viral post.
2.
Images Are Your Friend
Images and
infographics are also another great tool. Something visually pleasing and related to
your article will entice the reader to share this great article or piece of
information they’ve found.
Using visually pleasing components in your post will allow for the
reader to remember what you say and take away some cool statistics or
information. When information is paired with memorable images, the likelihood
of the reader retaining the facts increases.
When posting to your own page, Facebook
covers are equally important. These photos will draw the eye into your page
and make people curious as to what you have to say.
3.
Be Clear and Concise
Regardless of what age your main audience is, it’s
no secret that the age of computers and smartphones has shortened the attention span of most readers.
When composing a post that you want to be shared over and over again,
keep this in mind. Unless doing in-depth research, people are not going to be
engaged in an extremely lengthy article.
They want facts and bullet points, and easy to read information. Don’t
dumb it down too much, but keep in mind the vocabulary you use, as well as the
topic at hand.
4.
Ask and You’ll Receive
If you find that you’re still having a hard time
getting your information or post out there to the masses, it might be time too
take a look at social media
influencers.
There are a couple ways to go about using these accounts that have tons
of followers, but the easiest two are going to be joining in relevant
conversations, or flat out asking for a mention of a quote.
Just being able to associate your post with this type of account should
drive traffic and shares.
The
Line & Sinker
Overall, creating a viral Facebook post isn’t incredibly hard. But it
does require a good bit of thought and effort.
The other component is somewhat luck of the draw, but if you include
these tips in your next attempt to go viral, you may just have some of that
good luck.
