Making PODCASTS & Reels

WHAT MAKES A REEL GO VIRAL?

A common question & something to think about! Even though Ben’s content direction and production has led to many viral moments, vitality is not his primary aim. Why? Because a million views is great, but it’s fleeting if it doesn’t convert; To followers, to leads, to sales, to revenue.

That said, content that hits it big is often one or two videos away. With consistency and increasing qualituy content, you can be the next big meme. Or viral moment (for better or worse!) The content that Ben has directed, produced, and edited has often if not always out-performed his clients’ recent content that they made themselves. If we partner strategically, we can produce some of your best content yet.

Here’s the approach.

THE 2 SECOND RULE

What in your video is actually grabbing people, pulling them, and getting them pumped to learn from you in the first 2 seconds?

Keep ‘em engaged

Quality audio matters. A lot. Editing is key. Keep it switching and flipping & say something that counts. Shoot for clarity, concision, quickness, and freshness.

MAke it count

So you went viral, why? What were people saying? What did they comment on and ask for more of? Turn to the data and act fast. It’s time to adjust and iterate.
