    If you want to see good examples of viral content for your niche, just look on Facebook by searching your main keyword and locating the content that has alot of likes and engagement to get an idea of how your should formulate your posts.

    Hope this helps a little.

    Content which is globally admired and shared eminently on social media platforms called "viral content". To Create a viral content your need to create research based content (article, video, image, inforgraph) that can really magnetize your audience and induce them to share it.

    So much is said and corroborated about Viral Content. However, I think this pithy infographic will help you a lot in grasping the esoteric idea of viral content:

    In the simplest form, viral content is content that becomes very popular with very little promotion.

    Viral content is the pop music of content.

    It appeals to a mass audience because of its utility or humor (which is just another form of utility).

    The second part of your question is an extremely complex topic.

    Viral content is content which is posted and shared on social sites and got famous in a short time period. It can be created if you have many followers on social sites who will share your contents with thier followers and the process continues.

      The idea of viral content is that it is spread around by people sharing it. Like a virus, like the flu or a cold. Spreading around takes place with no work on the creator's part except for creating it and posting it int he first place.

      You don't really create viral content, you create content that is important enough, silly enough, sad enough, funny enough that others will share it with their friends.

      This is always talked about like in one piece of content all problems will be solved and that is just not the case. It is a rare piece of content that goes viral and you are probably much better off creating consistent useful or emotion filled content on a regular basis.

      You are looking for consistent engagement over time, not a one time flash in the pan of a single image or post.

    Viral content is stuff that people in your niche really resonates with. So much that they willingly share it without you having to ask. Word of mouth almost.

    However there is no formula to find what kind of content will go viral. It just varies on different factors

    Viral content is the content that becomes so popular on social media that almost everyone on social media has seen it or talks about it. If you use social media you may have come across it many many times. The song "Eye to Eye" had gone Viral an year or so ago.

    For making your content Viral you need to create something that people would want to share with others. This can be a humorous post, image or video or some really useful piece of info or even some song.
    There are viral scripts too, of course I just touched the tip of the ice berg. These are just the main factors, there are many more too.
