Would you bare your soul to a stranger?
How to leverage man on the street content for viral breakthroughs

Would you bare your soul to a stranger?

Imagine this: you're in a bustling place like a park or mall, and someone with a mic and camera approaches you for a heart-to-heart with a complete stranger. Are you up for it?

Believe it or not, some people take a big risk and share their deepest thoughts with strangers in a YouTube series called "Public Social Experiments." In this viral format, two people sit back-to-back, discussing personal matters like first loves, heartbreaks, or secrets without seeing each other. The results are amazing, with videos like this one racking up millions of views.

So, how do creators get people to open up, and why do these videos resonate with viewers?

Here are a few key tactics:

  • A hook grabs the viewer's attention, keeping them engaged in the story. It can be done through a teaser, hinting at what's to come and evoking emotions in the viewer.
  • Emotions create heartwarming moments, fostering connections and engaging viewers. By triggering emotions, videos forge stronger connections and deliver impactful experiences.
  • Shifts in pacing, tone, and narrative keep stories fresh and intriguing, preventing viewer fatigue.
  • Tension-driven storytelling pulls in viewers, sparking interest and ensuring a memorable experience.
  • A perspective shift turns our expectations upside down, surprising us with a new take or idea. This adds value and generates curiosity, leading to a deeper understanding.

What's the takeaway for you and your content?

Street content offers ready-made storytelling elements. Emotion, tension, and changes of heart - just let the camera roll and give participants space to share their journey with your audience.

Ready to try this shareable format? Let's go for it!
