Hi guys! It's been a while since I've post here on the Forums!

I know this is a tough question, but if anyone has some tips and tricks to boost a little my channel maybe it'll help my and other people out here! :)

One tip, your title might be a bit too long. I'm on an iPhone 6 and it cuts off as "Did we go to the concert aft..." and it makes it look like a vlog or something.

But yeah as the above chaps have said, videos don't just go viral because you make it. Most viral videos are shaky camera shots of something not many people saw in person but is very significant, hence a large amount of traffic to the video on YouTube.

But I woke up like 5 minutes ago so I could just be talking rubbish :D

Here's the best way to get a video to go "viral": Employ a large marketing firm and spend several hundred thousand dollars getting publicists to send it to places like "Ellen" and "The View" and the local news. What? Does that sound wrong? Well, sadly, that's how most "viral" videos are made. They're created by brands and if you look closely, you'll see branded merchandise in the backgrounds or foregrounds of a lot of "viral" (or "virally marketed') content. It's sad, but that's the landscape of YouTube nowadays. It's mostly meant for brands pushing products.

I was very pleased to see the "Chewbacca Mom" wasn't a marketing ploy by Kohl's, but then they took that opportunity and ran with it, so I suspect a lot of that push after she got a ton of views (Facebook views, so not monetized, most likely) were done by them.

There are some truly "viral" videos that still get out, but they're really rare, and it's almost impossible to predict when that'll happen. You can't try to make viral content, you just have to capture something amazing or strange in the moment. That's why I say to carry your camera or have your phone at the ready to capture anything that has some wow factor around you. It's going to be the thing that you don't plan at all that may go viral, rather than that perfectly-crafted moment you've spent a lot of time on.
