Emotions
Emotions can always attract clicks. By giving a lively experience of emotions and not simple facts, you can increase the sharing of videos. You can make use of emotions like inspiration, love, rage, disgust, humour and sympathy in your videos.

Right tools

Be original
The originality sells whether it is internet or television show. People are interested in seeing new things but at the same time they should be realistic. People are less interested in fiction and thus ultimate reality can win you infinite shares.

Target millennials right!
The teenage crowd, the ultimate user of internet can easily smell the fake in your videos. The manufactured videos are no more popular as it leads to two things; firstly the videos dies out instantly and nobody ever gets to know about it; secondly, the video is ridiculed and everyone knows about it. Thus, authenticity in your videos is essential.

Channels
YouTube is definitely the biggest and most popular website but it is not the only place to post videos. It is possible that people might take interest in your video from other websites. Few websites on which you can launch your video are Blip, Vodpod and Vimeo.
-
Rules
Copyrights should be strictly followed. If you make use of music, logo, brand name or clips of someone else, you are violating the copyright rule and thus preventing video from getting viral. I told you earlier also, originality and authenticity are the keys.
-
Keep it short
The shorter the video the more attention it gains. Nobody is interested in watching 30 minute video rather 5 minute video can do wonders. The first ten seconds of video are very important as the watcher will either get allured or completely bored.
This is just a checklist and does not guarantee viral of your video clip but ignoring them definitely guarantees obscurity. There is no definite way of ensuring viral video, all you can do is make use of above tips and hope for the best.
