You can get tons of ideas from influencers in your industry which might be useful to you. But successful ideas are the ones which hold the potential to drive your business like crazy.

Follow industry influencers and brainstorm ideas to showcase your brand so that your target audience would get attracted to it. Come up with a plan, stick to it and have answers to all the how’s and why’s that would be arising from your post when it’s being shared. 

  • Use Powerful Visuals:

Posts with attractive images and videos are more likely to be shared by the audience. According to a Buzzsumo study, posts with one or more images get more than twice as many shares on Facebook and Twitter than those without any images in them.

The study also found that infographics were the most shared type of content, beating out how-to articles and videos. Try to create powerful and high-quality visuals. 

  • Make Your Content Useful Enough to Share:

Make your headlines and content clear, direct and actionable. So that someone reading the posts would be able to take immediate action on what they’ve read.

And because all the posts have a solution, people are more likely to share it with their friends because it provides helpful information.

  • Share Your Content at The Right Time:

Sending out your content at the perfect moment is a terrific way to use existing momentum to go viral. Track what’s trending in your industry or just general news. Once you find something that aligns with your brand, craft a piece of content that is related to the topic and memorable.

Getting industry influencers to share your content will fuel your content for going VIRAL. But the tough part is getting your campaign on their radar.

Reach out and let them know that you’ve just created an infographic, guide or blog post that you think they would appreciate. Showing influencers that you appreciate their content and have a genuine interest in connecting with them instead of directly sending them the content link on the first go.
