Keys To Success For Viral Youtube Advertising

So what can small businesses learn from big corporations about viral videos on Youtube?

1. Viral videos on youtube can be a very effective, low cost advertising method to reach a ton of people

2. Shares and views have a strong correlation in creating a viral video. The more shares you can get the better chance your video is going to take off (not rocket science)

3. By far the strongest tool to use to generate shares is facebook. If you are creating a viral video be sure to post it on your facebook and encourage people to share it.

4. The second strongest tool is Twitter. If a small business is creating a viral video they should use this tool as well if they already have an account.

5. A successful viral video can be created by creating a spoof of another viral video (Sesame Street video is a perfect example)

6. Videos that go viral usually do so because they are funny, or they have some sort of a spectacle that make you go "wow is that possible" or "wow that is cool" as you watch them
