How to make a social media post to go Viral

You need to figure out what posts are the most successful on the platform that you are using
the most successful tags on the Steemit platform are :
1 Steem
2 introduceyourself
3 Steemit

Look up what posts have been very successful with the same audience as yours , but keep in mined that
you will always have competitors, people with same content as yours , look on google and other platforms for the most liked posts , quotes , videos, pictures this way you can get an idea what people are looking for , what they are reading about ...

Post at times when engagement is at highest

Focus on creating a strong emotion

creating something emotional gets people to like, share , comment

Always tell people to engage with the post that you are posting
get them to like, s,hare and re-post
example: if you agree with this post comment, like , re-post , re-tweet
so if you actually tell people what to do they actually tend to do it , it makes sense for them to do it , you get them a reason to do it

Share your post all over the social media in order to get them to share your post on other social media platforms
like tweeter, Facebook, JustRetweet , ViralContentBee, Empire.kred
