How do they make a video go viral?

I've Got It
On a marketplace for services where people sell things, some of them promise "I will get any video Viral"or I will promote and rank Youtube Video at page 1 in search with SEO

How do they do it? It´s fake?

They either have a HUGE following, or are probably just lying. I'm not sure what the definition of viral is for videos, so they may also just be using wordplay.
 
Probably. I guess if someone has lots of followers or the power to post something somewhere where millions of people can see it. I've never had a truly viral video, but the ones that have got quite a few views in one day are usually the result of a share on reddit or someone sharing something on a large website. So yeh it's probably a load of crap.
 
no, they say they need "only 1 long keyword" and "login details to make changes or get instructions to make them yourself"
 
in the reviews, many people say that they were on page 1 after a few hours ... but that doesnt make a video go viral
 
If you're a small YouTuber then you need a big YouTuber to share your video, talk about it etc. I know a channel that got quite big after they did a response video to a BuzzFeed video and it went viral. If you're already a well known YouTuber then I guess it has to be something that is current - like a subject that has been talked about a lot or is in the news. Stuff like that.
 
I think @kpop is referencing gigs on fiverr. Buying views or Subs from sites like that won't help your channel grow and in fact it may hurt it's growth.
 
"login details to make changes
Haha I wouldn't trust that with a ten foot pole (does that make any sense? Probably not).

Here's the thing. In order for a video to go viral, it has to have a couple of important qualities.

1) It has to be truly compelling content. Content that people will look at and say 'oh, well so-and-so has to see this', or 'my friends would really think this was funny' or 'I want Reddit karma so I'm going to repost this tomorrow (or in an hour) as my own find'.

2) It has to have broad appeal. It can't be niche. The broader the appeal, the better the chances of it going viral. That excludes almost every single gaming video, and almost every single vlogging video, just to name a couple of examples. It also excludes great sports plays (which never go truly viral), many cute kid videos, and most cute animal videos. It really has to have that broad appeal to truly go viral.

If a video truly has those two qualities, then you're already 80% there. The rest is putting it in front of as many people as possible because at that point it doesn't matter because everyone is a targeted lead (mass appeal). If you have that kind of content and pay one of those services, and it reaches the front page of Reddit, for example, for even an hour or two, there is a good chance it will end up going viral. If you don't have that kind of content, all the promotion in the world won't make it go viral.
