Creating viral content isn't about luck – it's about understanding and implementing key principles consistently. This guide breaks down the three essential elements of viral content: video structure, editing, and account warmup.

1. Video Structure: The Foundation of Viral Content

The Three Pillars of Viral Videos

  • Telling a Story

A story can be anything with a beginning, middle, and end. Whether it's someone telling a personal experience or a ball rolling down a hill, proper structure is crucial.

Key Story Elements

  • Fast, engaging beginning
  • Compelling middle section
  • Quick, impactful ending

Invoking Emotion

People scroll through short-form video platforms seeking emotional connection. Whether it's happiness, anger, sadness, or fear – any strong emotion can drive engagement.

Emotion Checklist

  • What emotion am I targeting?
  • How strongly will viewers feel it?
  • Is the emotion clear throughout?

2. Editing: Focus on What Matters

Essential Editing Elements
