I am going to dedicate this edition to answering the first question every beginner asks when trying to start a theme page on instagram: How to actually get a lot of views on a video? Or at least significantly raise the chances of it becoming viral. Everything from content ideas and niches to real life examples, let´s just cut to the chase…

Good artists copy, great artists steal.

Yes, you heard me right. The best way to become viral as a small theme page is stealing content. But do NOT take it literally. Stealing content does not equal to copy pasting. In this case, stealing content means getting inspiration from an already existing viral video and creating a similar video in your own organic style. This method is used by many successful creators and it helped me personally get millions of views, it´s called…

Content sniping.

So, how do we snipe content?

Let´s just say that you already identified your niche and you got your theme of the page covered, the only thing left for you is to find inspiration for a video!

once you found a viral video that you´d like to recreate, you need to find raw, unedited footage of that video, whether it is an interview or camera footage-it does not matter. Use youtube or other platforms to find the raw footage and download it through a free downloader engine.

Now it´s time to recreate that video.

Make sure that your video has a similar:

  • audio

  • hook

  • headline

  • editing

It doesn´t have to be the exact visual copy but it does have to be very similar in order for the algorithm to push it to a bigger audience.

Here are a real life example of content sniping:

These two videos are similar, but at the same time not a copy of each other. They both describe the same topic and show the same cuts of the video, creating a similar content.

WHAT WAS VIRAL ONCE-CAN GO VIRAL AGAIN.

Algorithm tends to favor topics that blew up on the internet multiple times, because in it´s understanding-it´s what people like.

And what is the job of the algorithm, if not to give people the content they like?

About today´s edition…

Today i simply answered the most common question that i get in my DM´s, but it takes a lot more work to systematically get a view count equaling a small country.

Algorithm constantly changes and you need to be aware of it´s behavior if you want to remain relevant.

The method that i shared with you today helped me to generate millions of views on multiple theme pages and if you use it correctly-you can have the same results.
