What's going on, everyone? Kacey Adams here. Welcome to episode eight of of the Rise of the Young podcast. Today is going to be a special day and we're really going to be going over some practical stuff. And today we're going to be talking about how to make a viral video on Facebook. I'm not sure if a lot of you know, but I am the CEO of my own viral growth agency called Viral Prime Marketing. And we specialize in viral Facebook video growth, we specialize in Instagram growth and we've had a ton of videos hit well over 10 million to 20 million views on Facebook. And, and I know that you guys can't see my screen right now. I know that you're just listening to this podcast, but I'm gonna be breaking down number one, how to make a video go viral on Facebook. I'm gonna be giving you guys some practical insights to use when creating your Facebook ads. And if you have any more questions regarding the actual action steps, make sure you hit me up on Instagram aceadams1 and we can talk more. So that being said, let's go ahead, let's get right into it and let's kill it. So on this episode, like I said, creating viral Facebook videos. And I'm sure a lot of you guys know that having viral content on social media is super important to growth. I'm gonna be giving you guys a quick testimonial. So around August this year, 2017, I only had 1000 followers on my Facebook page. And it wasn't until I found out about viral video marketing that I really wanted to specialize in Facebook. I wanted to grow my fan page and and really make a shit ton of viral videos just so I can have an explosive fan page. So from August on, I met up with my team, Ryan and Jose, and we started this business and that's when we really started getting very, very focused on viral video marketing. But when it actually comes to creating the viral videos, guys, it's very important that you're actually finding a niche and you're figuring out what it is that you want to make viral. And the number one thing to actually creating viral videos is creating an emot connection with your audience. Because I know a lot of people out there are posting videos on Instagram, they're posting videos on Facebook and they're not going viral. But then again, it has no emotional connection to their audience. So a quick three step process I want to be giving you today on this podcast, very, very simple to implement and it will massively help your viral videos get viral on Facebook. But number one, making sure that the first five seconds of your video is very, very eye catching, very, very pull is the most critical aspect you could ever do. So whatever video you're posting on Facebook, if you want it to go viral, the first five seconds are the most important part of the videos because it captures somebody's attention. And yes, this may sound cliche, this may sound simple, like I say, but again, it is the most critical part of the video. And if you're creating a viral video, making sure that the key point is at the first five seconds, so, so that it pulls the reader or the viewer in, like I said, that's the most critical thing. So if you aren't doing that already, make sure you do that. Focus on the first five seconds. And then another quick tip. Based on our research, our data of viral video marketing, making sure that your videos are anywhere from one to three minutes is the best way that a viral video will work, due to the fact that that's the average attention span of a lot of people on Facebook. And yes, a lot of viral videos have longer videos in one to three minutes and they're big. But based on our research, based on our data, that's the most effective timing of a video to actually make it viral. So that being said, I want you guys to have some practical insights. So if you go to my Facebook page, acadamsofficial on Facebook, it's the verified one. If you go there, you can check out on my page that we have a ton and Ton of viral videos. One of the first videos on my page, it has 19 million views. We've reached 50 million people with this video and literally we had under $50 ad spend to this video. And it's reached 50 million people in multiple, multiple different countries all over the world. We've gotten 380,000 shares on this video. And that's just one of the viral videos we've done for myself, for our clients. But those are results that we've been getting. And yes, these results are not typical. There is a back end strategy that we're using. But I just want to give you guys insights about how to actually make a viral video. But to actually take the podcast and to give you guys some more practical stuff, make sure you go like and follow my Facebook fan page acadamsofficial. Like I said, it's the verified profile and you can check out the videos that we're making viral on there. So you guys can actually see for yourself what what we've been doing. You can check out how many views we're getting, how many shares we're getting, because I know that you can't see this on the podcast. So if you want to go get some more practical data, like I said, follow me on Facebook, let me know what you think. And yeah, that's like, that's the best way I can give you guys some practical insights about what we're actually doing. But moving forward, allowing your Facebook page to grow organically is by far the easiest thing to do once you have viral videos up. Like I said, back to the story. I had a thousand followers on my Facebook page in August of 2017. Then today I have 106,000 followers on my Facebook page and I literally paid under $300 in ad spend due to the fact that we've had viral videos growing. Like I said, that one video on my page right now is at 20 million views and it's literally been growing my page organically ever since it hit that first million views. And like I said, now it's at 20 million. It's reached 50, 50 million people. And that's correlated to my growth around 75 to 80,000 likes just from that video alone. So what this means for you, what this means for your business, your client, if you want to make viral videos a thing for you, for your clients, follow the simple formula that I'm telling you in this video. And yes, we do have more information about it if you are interested. But like I said, you can go to my Facebook page. You can check it out. You can let me know what you think. But like I said, having viral videos is the easiest way to grow on Facebook organically with less ad spend. Once you hit the right video, it can grow your page dramatically over the course of a month. So make sure you start implementing this. But like I said, a little rundown on how to create a viral video. I want to give you guys the most practical stuff. Step one, find a niche. Whether that be fitness, motivational work, crazy outdoor, extreme sports type of stuff. Those are videos and stuff that we've made a lot viral. So step one, find your niche. Step two, focus on the emotional connection you want the video to have. Make sure that the first five seconds are the most important seconds of the video. Making sure that you're pulling your audience in, not pushing them away. And then again, step three, focus on a video that's one to three minutes long. That's the most practical to actually get a video viral. And again, I know a lot of you listening may want to see more actual representation of what I'm talking about. So go follow me on Facebook. Like I'm saying acyadamsofficial. And a lot of people, if you go to my page, you're gonna see that we've posted other motivational speaking, motivational, other motivational speakers. And that's because we like giving other videos a lot of growth due to the fact that they're replicating and representing my personal brand, my beliefs. So that's what you see there. But we do a lot of stuff for our clients and we make their own personal videos viral. So if you're listening right now and want to make your own viral video, this is high quality tactics that I want you to follow. Is that put subtitles on the video, making sure that the bottom has words on it. Yes. At the end of the video, making sure that you're putting like this video and share this video so that you're giving your audience a call to action. And then following the first three tactics that I just gave you, find your niche, making sure that the video is emotionally connecting to your audience. First five seconds are the most important. And then focus on the video being one to three minutes long. And like I said, this video, yes, you cannot see my screen, but I want you to listen to this right now. And don't just listen, but execute. Like I always say, try to create your first viral video. Try to make a viral video for you on your Facebook fan page, because that's allowed my page to grow dramatically. That's what we do for our clients and it's super great to learn. So if you have any more in depth questions, send me a direct Instagram message, aceadams1, telling me that you came from episode 8 of the Rise of the Young podcast and that you want to learn more information about viral video marketing. Then we can set up a call. We can actually show you step by step on the ad sets you need to run. And that being said, make sure you start executing on the data I told you in this video. Then one more thing, make sure you subscribe. The Rise the Young podcast just hit top 100 business podcasts in the world and we want to hit top 50.
