Making Things Viral = Human Superpower
1. Viral Coefficient (How Many People They Tell)2. Cycle Time (How Long Until They Tell)
@EmersonSpartz
The more incentive you give people to share, the more likely they are to
share.
You can’t hum while holding your nose closed.
@EmersonSpartz
To Be Viral, Be Awesome
More emotion = More awesome = More viral
Piss people off (injustice, wall of shame, welfare)
Use cute animals, humor, and nostalgia
Identity: “Will sharing this make me look good?”
Ride the coattails of what’s hot
