 1.   High Quality

There are brand pages on the web pertaining to nearly every possible field.

If brand managers post relevant content that relates directly to the brand and the post is of good quality generally users like it. It is normally seen that the posts that have some valuable information to pass on and make sense are the ones that go viral. It is good to be different but it is also important to stick to posting high quality good content.

2.   Market it well

In the present times nothing sells until it is marketed and promoted well enough. Just posting good quality content does not solve the purpose the post also needs to be promoted well and marketed for people to see it and eventually come in terms with it. In the presence of so many brands and even more posts, a post will not go viral until a brand manager takes extra care of that.

 3.   Hover around recent events

Brand managers are often confused about what should be posted, what should be the contents of the post. It is advised that posts should be such that they are in relevance to the ongoing events in the world. This helps in making the post a trend and chances of its going viral increases manifold.

 4.   Smart and short content

Everybody on the social media likes to read influential posts that have the capability of leaving them to ponder upon certain thoughts. Thus short and smart posts are preferred in the social media domain.

5.   Link all pages

To make all pages and all posts go viral the brand pages on all platforms should be linked together. Once linked together the posts automatically carry a high viral strength and easily become the most viewed and liked posts on the web.
