This Simple Trick Helps Me Go Viral Consistently
How to go from beginner to expert in your niche in less than a week.

The key to social media isn’t originality, it’s figuring out how to replicate what is already working.
If you want to learn how to make content that is going to go viral in your niche… just look at the content that has already gone viral in your niche.
Study those videos, understand why they went viral and use that as inspiration for your own content.
The Cheat Code: The best way to understand your niche and find viral content inspiration is to “program” a brand new social media account. Here’s how:
Create a new account on your platform of choice. This only works with a new account that doesn’t have any pre-existing content preferences.
Train the algorithm. Scroll with intention and only watch and engage with videos in your niche.
Once the algorithm learns that you only watch and engage with specific types of videos (it doesn’t take long), 99% of the content it will start to show you is the best and highest performing in that niche.
Now you have a social media account that only feeds you with inspiration for viral potential videos in your niche.
Other Use Cases: For a creator, this is a great way to source content ideas, but this hack is also helpful for brands.
Seeing what content works well in your niche can not only help you create content for you brand, but it’s also a great place to get inspiration for paid ads creative.
Creating a niche specific account makes it easy to find the top content creators in your brand’s niche for partnerships.
This can help you better understand your industry — it shows you what real customers actually care about and are struggling with. Use this information to improve your product(s), offer new services, etc.
