HOW DOES ONE MAKE A VIRAL VIDEO??

[Sal]

Simple question what are the components of a viral video or trend such as draw my life Harlem shake or any other crazy trend out there ?

Sharability and tastemakers.

I died laughing over this.

But yeah, they are often parody of something pop culture. I used to be able to churn them out like nobody's business (I had a Twilight video get over 7 million views) but honestly people do like to see their fads start on the internet now, rather than outside it. So if you know how to start a fad, do it in a video.

Daniel Tosh, or Hank Green, or George Takei would be some fine examples.

AVbyte? I had a brief cameo, yeah. That video didn't do too well.

I just randomly came across it...It wasn't because the thumbnail had an attractive girl in it.

Hah, given the cleavage wars that went on in that video, I'm surprised it didn't do better.
