Are you wondering how to make content that go viral on social media?
Well,
The key to creating great, shareable content is to have the right balance of ingredients. You need to appeal to the right emotions, choose the right format and length, and have the right visuals.
To elaborate this further Gryffin media created an infographic that reveals the secret formula for creating viral social media post.
Some key highlights:
According to a study of over 100 million articles by BuzzSumo, content that evokes awe, amusement, and laughter get the most social shares.
One study found that article from the New York Times that readers found practical, surprising and interesting were most likely to be emailed.
Studies consistently found that in-depth, long-form content performs better than short content! On average 3000-1000 word articles get the most social shares.
Having at least one image in your written post leads to more shares on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Googleplus and other social networks.
Your headline is often just as important as your content: It's what makes people click.
People will share content if they think it's from a trustworthy source.
Buzzsumo's study showed that having just one influencer share your article will generate 31.8 percent more social shares.
It's all about testing your content again, again and again, until you've perfected your viral power.
