How to Create Shareable Content: The Secret Sauce to
Going Viral
Ah, shareable content. The holy grail of marketing. The
dream of every business owner, social media manager, and that one cousin who
keeps posting blurry cat memes hoping for internet fame. But what exactly makes
content so irresistible that people feel compelled to smash the share button
faster than they hit snooze on a Monday morning?
Well, my dear marketing maverick, let’s unlock the secret
sauce to creating content so engaging, even your grandma will be sharing it in
the family WhatsApp group (and we all know that’s the ultimate goal).
1. Hook ‘Em Like a Netflix Series
If your content doesn’t grab attention in the first three
seconds, you’ve lost your audience to doom-scrolling and videos of dogs dancing
to Beyoncé. Start with a powerful hook—be it a bold statement, a hilarious
meme, or an intriguing question.
🚨 Example: “You won’t
believe what this coffee brand did to boost sales by 300%... and it involves
llamas!” (See? You’re curious now, aren’t you?)
2. Know Thy Audience (And Speak Their Language)
Are you talking to Gen Z, who communicate primarily in memes
and abbreviations? Or are you addressing professionals who prefer
well-researched insights? Understanding your audience means knowing their
humor, pain points, and interests.
🤓 Pro tip: If your
audience loves sarcasm and GIFs, don’t hit them with a 5,000-word dissertation.
Keep it short, snappy, and relatable!
3. Be Entertaining, Not a Walking Sales Pitch
People don’t share content that screams “BUY MY
PRODUCT!”—they share things that make them laugh, think, or feel something.
Weave your brand into valuable, fun, and educational content.
🔥 Example: Instead of a
dull “Our moisturizer is great,” try: “Our moisturizer hydrates better than
your ex’s excuses. No flakiness, we promise.”
4. Make It Ridiculously Easy to Share
Ever tried to share an article and had to copy-paste, sign
up, and complete a CAPTCHA proving you’re not a robot? Don’t do that to your
audience.
✅ Add easy share buttons. ✅
Keep your content mobile-friendly (because thumbs are lazy). ✅
Use simple, snappy captions that people can repost without thinking.
5. Tap Into Trends, But Make It Yours
Jumping on trends is great, but don’t just copy-paste the
latest TikTok dance with no relevance to your brand. Find a way to tie viral
moments into your messaging.
🚀 Example: If everyone is
talking about AI, create a post: “Will AI take over marketing? Maybe. But can
it tell dad jokes? We’re safe… for now.”
6. Use Visuals That POP!
A wall of text is about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Break it up with eye-catching images, GIFs, infographics, or short videos.
People process visuals faster, and they’re far more shareable.
🎨 Example: Post a
relatable meme about work struggles, and watch your engagement soar. (Bonus
points if it features a cat. The internet loves cats.)
7. Trigger Emotions (And Make People Look Smart)
People share content that makes them look funny, smart, or
empathetic. If your post sparks an emotion—whether it’s joy, nostalgia, or
righteous anger—it’s more likely to be shared.
🧐 Example: “Remember when
we all thought fidget spinners were the future? Ah, simpler times.”
8. Ask for Engagement (Without Sounding Desperate)
A simple “Tag a friend who needs to see this” or “What’s
your funniest customer service story?” encourages interaction without begging.
No one wants to see “PLEASE SHARE! PLS! PLS!” in all caps.
🎯 Example: “Would you
rather give up coffee for a week or social media? Comment below and start a
debate!”
