What Makes a Viral?Post?

Today, we wander off to the mythical topics of all:?

Are aliens Real?? ??

Is Joe Biden, Joe Biden? ??

And?What does Twitter X have in store for us??

While these topics are quite interesting, let's pick something that suits our rhythm. What makes a Viral Post?

To whip up a truly delectable post, you’ll need a pinch of creativity, a dash of mind-boggling visuals, and a sprinkle of sound effects, all perfectly mixed with engaging content.

So, what makes up a content Viral?? As it has many elements like Hashtags #AreYouImportant, Mentions or tags, and captions that make users comment on it.?

Is it that simple? Does all of these make a content Viral or does one of these outweigh the others?

To understand better let’s break each one of these down.

Hashtags

Hashtags work when the User searches #MondayBlues. The algorithm ranks all post that contains this # and filters them further by ranking based on their relevancy.?

The more number hashtags have it becomes more difficult to rank at the top. So some prefer to use hashtags that have 100–300k posts rather than 1.5M posts #, this helps them rank higher for visibility.

While this tactic should be flawless,? it does have a flaw and that's every user who searches for something isn’t programmed to use #WhatTheyWant.?

Instead, they just type “What They Want”.? This gave rise to Trending Hashtags being valued as the probability of users using this hashtag as its trending becomes higher. Aka, Riding the wave!?

Mentions

A popular practice in social media is to tag relevant places, and people to get a targeted response and more engagement.?

This also builds the bridge for Collab, as creators and businesses made brand deals they used this feature of Collaboration to leverage the traffic from different pages.
