SOCIAL CURRENCY
In another post he says... post says:
I get asked this question all the time: "How do we make our video/post/content go viral?"
The honest answer is that you can't.
If you hit one or more of those emotions, that's when the spread starts. The key to long-lasting viral is to reach the Third Circle.In the middle is you or your brand. When you push out content, it always hits a good percentage of your First Circle. That's your brand fans on Facebook, your followers on Twitter, the creepy people still on MySpace. It can also be personal friends and family. A percentage of those in the First Circle will always share your stuff for a multitude of reasons. They know you, so there is more reason to find an inside joke funny, they think you're attractive (that's a hot logo you got there!) so they always "Like" whatever you share. That means your content can always easily reach the Second Circle. It's getting the content to spread past that circle that is the difference between viral and spiral.
That Second Circle have little to no brand attachment or relationship to you. They will spread the content based on its own content merits. Once they start sharing it with no brand umbilical cord attached, you know you've got a good one on your hands.
