What does it take to achieve virality? To create a storm of conversations that keeps the right people coming back for more? Do we have what it takes to go \u201cviral\u201d?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a list of questions that possibly every marketer has on their minds in the digital marketing world. And with all the random internet sensations and celebrities (remember the Target guy?) that mushroom out of the woodwork, you\u2019d think the answer would be within grasp.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not. And achieving overnight success takes a lot of hard work, planning and deep thinking.<\/p>\n

Back to the Basics<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ll get right to it. What are your goals for building virality<\/strong>?\u00a0 With launch pages, the primary objective is usually user acquisition. Sometimes new user acquisition feels like a shot in the dark \u2013 a brand new audience meets a brand new product and nobody knows how the relationship is going to work just yet.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a lot like a blind date. And unless you\u2019ve been able to create buyer personas before launching your product, you\u2019re going to be hard pressed for pre-launch data in this \u00fcber hyper actively social and amorphous world of ours.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019ll admit \u2013 it\u2019s kinda cool to know something you\u2019ve created was able to reach a few million people in a short span of time. And if that\u2019s what you want, that\u2019s perfectly fine too.<\/p>\n

But once again, it\u2019s going to take some thought and planning and being able to bring the right elements together.<\/p>\n

The Ingredients for Virality<\/h2>\n

How do you do it? There are several factors that need to fall into place, but a good amount of preparedness and how well you\u2019re networked certainly help with gaining some traction.<\/p>\n

Timeliness is another huge factor.<\/p>\n

Remember this?<\/p>\n

\"oreo<\/a><\/p>\n

Oreo won the marketing Super Bowl in 2014 because of their ridiculously prompt response to the blackout during the game.<\/p>\n

However, the example above is about viral content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Creating viral launch pages<\/strong> is slightly different (and more involved!). The recipe for viral launches begins with developing an understanding of human nature; because, let\u2019s not forget that we\u2019re dealing with real people here, and real people have a few common traits running between them.<\/p>\n

And on top of that list of traits is greed. Think about it \u2013 who can resist a great deal that actually proves to be useful after the sign up? I don\u2019t have exact numbers, but the answer to that very rhetorical question is \u201ctoo few people.\u201d<\/p>\n

People also like to feel special; they like to feel exclusive; they want to know their voice and opinion matters, and if you truly care about user experience and product quality, you\u2019ll find yourself hemming and hawing to deliver exactly what they want, when they want it.<\/p>\n

And if you can give them something to look forward to (packaged nicely, of course) then you\u2019re looking at generating a worthy buzz very quickly.<\/p>\n

The Road to Virality<\/h2>\n

    1. Innovative Details<\/strong>:As marketers, we can\u2019t stop innovating. Among the many reasons social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram have taken off, one of them is how simple and innovative their sites are.\u00a0 People want to share and people want other people to know about what they\u2019ve shared. It\u2019s what we do as, well, people.For example, Forkly, a site that makes it \u201cridiculously easy to match taste buds with the food and restaurants around you\u201d asked people to sign up for notifications if they wanted site-trial invites. And then they granted early access to people who referred 3 friends or more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"forkly\"<\/a><\/p>\n

      That\u2019s pretty darn brilliant.<\/p>\n

        1. Build What They Need:<\/strong>We\u2019ve all seen the lines for Apple\u2019s next product release wrap around several blocks. And I have a sneaky suspicion that some of us reading this post were probably in one of those lines. Apple are who they are because they make no excuses about getting people to think differently from the status quo. It\u2019s a lesson we can all learn and imbibe.<\/li>\n
        2. Solve Problems<\/strong>:Have a clear value proposition for your clients. What do they stand to gain? Why should they sign up with YOU vs. everyone else offering the same service or product?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

          Take a look at what Stripe\u2019s done.<\/p>\n

          \"stripe\"<\/a>
          \nTo break things down a little, here\u2019s what\u2019s going on:
          \n– A clear solution for a widespread need.<\/strong> Who loves multi-step payment processes and jumping through hoops? I sure don\u2019t.
          \n– A clear call to action<\/strong>, i.e.\u00a0 \u201cGet Notified\u201d
          \n– Simplified follow-through<\/strong>.\u00a0 When Stripe goes live, everyone who\u2019s signed up is notified.<\/p>\n

            1. Beta Access<\/strong>:If you have a new product coming up soon and you\u2019re still running beta tests, give your loyal clientele an opportunity to engage with your new offering before it\u2019s available to the world at large. It\u2019s exactly what companies like Spotify did before releasing their software to the world. And they got a bushel full of leads while they were at it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"Beta<\/a><\/p>\n

              1. Social Integration<\/strong>:This one\u2019s a gimme. If you want to go viral, make it easy for people to share, especially on platforms like Twitter. And you can make it a sweeter deal by incorporating giveaways, sweepstakes, loyalty and referral rewards. Add an element of scarcity (Limited Time Offer! Early Bird Registrations!) to get people to sign up and share with their networks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
