About Me:
My name is Bryan Fahim. I have been doing social media since I was in
6th grade. From creating meme pages on Instagram, to recording gaming
videos on YouTube, to experimenting with TikTok going viral every
video I posted during the pandemic…essentially, I have a lot of
experience. Let me list 3 of my best accomplishments:
- Over 300,000,000 Client Views on All Social Media Platforms
ORGANICALLY!
- All my Clients have a VERY Positive ROI Investing in Me!

of content creation!
______________________________________________________________________________
WHAT VIRAL MEANS?
Generally, “Going Viral” on social media means when a piece of
content, such as a video, photo, tweet, article, et cetera, expands
massively through a platform in views, likes, comments, shares, and
more. It is when one has gained a widespread of attention within a short
period of time.
The reason why a piece of content can go viral could be due to its
uniqueness, humor, relatability, value, or surprising nature. Whether it
evokes a negative reaction or a positive reaction, that reaction can cause
them to share the content to more people.
The results of a viral post can be extremely beneficial. It increases
exposure, awareness, engagement and even lead to a boost in
followers/subscribers. And when you know to leverage a viral post, it
can lead to customers filling your pockets with case.
BUT, going viral is not always that predictable to the average eye.
However, that is where I break down the science of how to GO VIRAL
repeatedly!
When purposely trying to go viral, you must understand your niche.
Sometimes a viral post does not mean over a million views. That is what
I call a “VFM” which means VIRAL FOR ME. The more VFM posts
you get, the higher the chance the algorithm will favor you and truly
push your content out to more people. And once that happens and if your
posts evoke emotion, that is when it becomes truly VIRAL!
One major tip you need to understand is to never blame the algorithm,
blame your content. Yes, the algorithm helps push out your content but
if your video is bad, it is not going to push it. You can follow every
strategy possible with a bad video and still get very little views.
However, you can create such amazing content and post it with very
little to 0 strategy, and still have millions of views. My job is to teach
you how to create amazing content while also following a strategy.
HOW TO MAKE SHORT FORM VIDEOS GO VIRAL?
Every video needs a HOOK, an ATTENTION GRABBER, VALUE,
and a CALL TO ACTION.
To be specific, here is one of my templates that got me millions of
views. Use this template!
Hook -> Interest Grabber -> Value/Solution-> Call to Action
HOOKS:
A HOOK is a 3 second statement that grabs your audience’s attention.
The most important part of the video. THE BEST strategy to gain
someone’s attention is by having a negative hook and finishing the video
with a positive solution. People will always pay attention if they feel
they are doing something incorrect. The goal is to trigger an emotional
response out of the viewer. I like to use 3 types of hook strategies.
Desirable Hooks
Negative Hooks
Controversial Hooks
Desirable Hooks are naming a common goal people want like “if you
want a six pack, you need to…”
Negative Hooks should discredit something of importance to the
audience like “ChatGPT is dead, stop...”
And Controversial hooks should question the viewers previous thought
about something like “Be poor instead of rich for this reason…”
Here are some examples of each:
Desirable:
“If you want [extreme goal] within [short time frame]”
Example: If you want six pack abs within 3 months…
“Here are 3 [Resources/tools] that will take your [subject] to [desired
result]”
Example: Here are 3 tools that will take your account to 1 million
followers.
“Here is how to change your [bad problem] into [extreme positive
result]”
Example: Here is how to change your fat into the hulk’s muscles.
Negative:
“This deadly mistake you are making when it comes to [subject] can
[negative action] …”
Example: “This deadly mistake you are making when it comes to
deadlifting can snap your back.”
“Here the top 3 red flags to look for in [niche]”
Example: “Here are the top 3 red flags to look for in a relationship.”
“You will never become [positive metric] if you don’t [action]”
Example: “You will never be successful if you don't read this book”
Controversial:
“I don't care what you say, [mention opinion]”
Example: “I don't care what you say, chocolate ice cream is better than
vanilla.”
“Ignore what people say, follow this [method] instead.”
Example: “Ignore what people say, follow this secret Instagram strategy
instead”
“To be honest, [method] is better than [method]”
Example: “To be honest, squats are better than deadlifts.”
Key words to use outside of these examples: isn’t, don’t, struggling,
hack, exposing, won’t, wrong, Stop, money, please, worst, but, never,
ruining, stay away.
If you are a business, you offer something that benefits your customers.
You give them the pain relief package to their problem. That is exactly
what you are doing in the video. The problem is the hook, and you
provide a solution within the end.
INTEREST GRABBER/PROMISE:
Before mentioning the value/solutions right away, this where you can
build trust with your audience and make them feel like you are taking
care of them. It also hypes up your hook as the second hook. The
promise gives them a high expectation of what they can expect from the
options you give them.
EXAMPLE: So here are 3 BETTER Exercises you can do instead to get
your legs to look like this (insert picture of very muscular legs or tree
trunks)
What is highlighted in blue is the options. The reason why I like to give
3 options is because people learn in 3’s. For example, ABC’s, 123’s,
Go/Yield/Stop, etc. (You do not have to do 3 options of course)
What is highlighted in green is the promise. Majority of people are
visual learners. Giving them something to envision or even providing a
visual in the video can help give them a better idea of what to look for.
VALUE/SOLUTION:
This is where you demonstrate or give out the 3 options. Remember,
people are lazy. They want the information given to them in the easiest
way possible. Something they can possibly Plug and Use. Meaning, they
can implement your value within 24 hours of watching your content.
You want to make your solutions so valuable that they will save this
video, possibly share it to a friend, or appreciate it so much that they will
comment.
EXAMPLE:
1) Hip Thrusts. Push through your heels and raise your hips until your
thighs and torso form a straight line.
2) Romanian Deadlifts. Put dumbbells or barbells in front of your thighs
and go as low until you feel the stretch in your hamstrings.
3) Kettlebell Swings. Bend your knees and explosively move your hips
forward swinging the kettlebell up to your shoulder.
Now if you know anything about the gym, these workouts may be
controversial. Even though they are effective, it can still be
controversial. And that is the goal to increase engagement. A lot of men
refuse to do hip thrusts which they can be disappointed in and
wondering why Romanian Deadlifts isn’t first on the list. You must be
unpredictable and mysterious. That is how you can gain attention. I put
Romanian Deadlift second to make the audience think and get distracted
on why that isn’t first. Then they will get the relief that it is on the list
for number 2. This helps your watch time, and it increases engagement.
CALL TO ACTION:
The call to action is a directive statement that prompts users to take
specific action.
If you want saves, ask for saves. If you want follows, ask for follows. If
you want sales, tell them to click the link in your bio. There are so many
call to actions you can do. Here are 5 examples:
“Follow for more…”
“Share this video with a friend”
“Save this video and use it later!”
“Click the link in the bio if you want…”
“Comment what you think!”
This is how you will see growth on your page. As people say they do not
like to be directed, if they appreciate a good piece of content and get
commanded, they will do it.
EXAMPLE: Make sure to Save this video to have this workout!
So, everything that I mentioned was just to make the script. Now here is
my strategy on how you should record and edit your videos.
Here is my bullet pointed tips on How You Should Record:
- First, you do not need a camera. If you got a phone, that is perfect.
Record on 4k 30 with your back camera. If you have an IPhone, go
to settings, go to formats, and put your camera capture to most
compatible. This will give you the best quality video.
- When you record, record in an angle where it makes you look
confident. When you look confident with the words you are saying,
it makes you look like a trustworthy person to the audience.
Depends on what you are trying to go viral for, having someone
hold the camera can be really helpful. Make sure the camera can’t
see under your chin.
- Record in clips. The average attention span when watching a video
on social media is 7 seconds. Recording in clips with different
sceneries spices up the video and makes it unique.
- Have good posture and have a lot of emotion and body language
when you talk. Have a good tone when you speak. Speak like you
mean it and like you are seriously trying to help.
- The IPhone microphone is great. However, if you want to make a
quick cheap investment, get the RODE VIDEOMIC ME-LE
Compact Microphone
- Speak in the tone that you want to attract. If you are trying to
attract people in the gym niche, you probably want to yell at the
camera. If you are trying to represent yourself as wealthy, stay
calm and classy!
- Talk on a down talk (end with a low pitch when saying your
value). This makes your value more credible.
Here are my Bulleted Points on How to Edit Your Videos:
- Once you have all the clips, put them all together on the editing
platform you are comfortable with. I recommend “CapCut” for
beginners. You can edit on your phone or on a desktop using
“CapCut”.
- Remove all the fluff and wasted space. You are trying to squeeze
all the information in the least amount of time possible.
- Once that’s done, you need to make subtitles. 80% of viewers on
social media do not watch videos with the volume on. So include
nice eye appealing subtitles. You can either do it manually for
better quality subtitles, or you can auto-generate subtitles through
“CapCut”. There is also an app called “Captions” where it allows
you to have nice auto-generated subtitles.
- Then, include visuals. This can be putting images, videos, emojis,
all within that one video. You also have to remember that a lot of
people are visual learners. Having a clear flow of images, videos,
or emojis can also be used as attention grabbing points.
- Pattern interruption is important when it comes to editing. You do
not want the same flow in your video the whole time; people will
get bored. Here are some optional ways you can pattern interrupt:
o Zoom in and out of your body when you add emphasis on
key words.
o Have nice animations throughout the video.
o In between clips, add a transition.
o Include sound effects.
- Once you have a full video with subtitles, visuals, and animations,
it is time for you to add background music. It is good to use music
that fits the vibe of your video. If you have high energy, then have
high energy music. If your vibe is educational, slow music helps
people learn. Don’t make the music too loud where it overpowers
your voice if you are speaking.
- HOWEVER, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIRING AN EDITOR
TO SAVE YOUR TIME (like me *wink*)
After you scripted, recorded, and edited the video, you have made a
VIRAL VIDEO!
HOW TO MAKE SINGLE PHOTOS GO VIRAL?
There are multiple types of single photos that can be posted onto social
media:
- Funny/Meme photos
- Inspirational/Motivational photos
- Cute/Adorable photos
- Extravagant/Unique photos
- Emotional/Heartfelt photos
- Controversial photos
- Illusionary photos
- Action/Sport photos
- Educational photos
- More…
If you really look into all these photos, you that there is a hook, whether
it is a visual or text hook, that will get you into the photo. The call to
action will always be something relatable to the audience. People share
or save posts because it can relate to them. The main objective is to
always make it relatable.
Although the purpose of a business is to provide/help, sometimes, an
entertaining post simply related to your niche is REALLY GOOD.
Think about it, the more you can entertain your audience, the more they
feel like they can trust you. And when they trust you, that is when the
money comes in!
So, create a plan with your photos that will both entertain and help your
audience.
Here is the template I like to follow:
Text hook on the top, Content/Image in the
middle, Call to Action on the bottom.
HOW TO MAKE MULTI PHOTOS GO VIRAL?
For business related multi photo posts, there are 2 templates I like to
follow!
A similar strategy like the videos this strategy:
Hook, Interest Grabber/Promise, Solutions, Call to Action
I highly recommend keeping it as short as possible and to always shove
your content in the least number of slides always. The less slides, the
better. But you also don’t want to cram too much information in one
slide. Your post should be as simple as reading an instruction sheet:
sentence and visual.
Also keep in mind, people do not want to go on social media to read
books. Viral posts are quick information that can be easily understood.
The way to do this is by providing more visuals than words. And make
sure the words are following the 7-70 rule, text should be easily
understood for a 7-year-old and big enough for a 70-year-old.
INSTAGRAM/FACEBOOK STRATEGY
Instagram is the best platform to make money. I would prioritize
Instagram over Facebook. Facebook is dead unless you use ads! If I
were a business, I would follow these steps exactly.
Before you post your content on Instagram, make sure you have these
settings on:
- Go to settings and privacy, scroll down until you see media quality
and make sure your data usage looks like this:
There is an option to also post it on Facebook when you post on
Instagram. Before you click share when you are preparing your post,
scroll down and make sure “Recommend on Facebook” says “Allow”.
This will increase the odds of your post going viral by allowing the
video to be shown to 2 platforms under Meta.
When it is time to create a caption, make sure to implement key words.
- For videos, I do not like putting long captions. I like putting a nice
hook and let people find out by watching.
- For carousels/photos, I usually make a little longer caption to add
more key words. I never like making long captions because let’s be
real, no one is trying to read a book off of Instagram. So just say
what needs to be said.
SEO, search engine optimization, is very important for the algorithm to
sector out where they should spread your content. Key words should be
in your content anyway which is important. BUT, if you are posting a
photo/carousel, go to alt text and add a description with as many key
words as possible. This is how to go to your alt text:
- Right before you click share, go to advanced settings, scroll all the
way down, and you will see “Write Alt Text.”
When it comes to hashtags, only use a handful that relate to your niche.
People think hashtags are everything, but I consider it the cherry on top.
Use a handful and make sure to use hashtags related to your niche. Add
keywords within your hashtags.
For videos, make sure to add cover art that has a visual and a text hook.
When people view your account and scroll through your page, if they get
intrigued by a niche cover and an interesting topic, they will watch the
video which gives you more views!
So, you have the content ready, DO NOT POST IT RANDOMLY. Post
it at your best time for your audience. Here is how to find that out:
Go to your professional dashboard, then click account insights, then total
followers and scroll all the way to the bottom. This will show you when
your followers are most active. You should post 30-45 minutes before
your peak time.
Once you post, NEVER close out the app. Go back to your previous post
and like all the messages and respond to any unanswered comments.
This will send out a notification to them which can increase the odds of
them looking at your new post. Then engage with other accounts. Be
active! You do not want to just post and don’t use your account. Make
sure to use social media like how it is supposed to be used. Engage with
other creators. Like, comment, and share posts! It is super important to
be active right after you post.
Make sure to repost your post on your story as well to spread your post
in other areas where people can see them. Speaking of stories, try and
post around 3-5 story posts a day and use widgets that Instagram
provides (polls, quizzes, reaction buttons, etc.) Use your story to be a bit
more personal to your audience. Then here and there use it as a platform
to advertise a product/service. Never over advertise, people will
unfollow.
TIKTOK STRATEGY
TikTok is one of the best platforms to gain exposure. It has the best
algorithm which is why it is one of the most used apps right now.
TikTok mainly looks for how good your content is and how long can
you make people stay on the platform. So, with the good viral templates
I provided above, you should be covered.
When you are ready to post, choose a trending audio and mute it! I do
this so it can still be under the trending audio videos without really using
it. Pick a TikTok Viral song and use it!
Then add your caption. I like to use a nice clean hook and 0-6 hashtags. I
mix them up with largely used niche related hashtags, general broad
hashtags, and trending hashtags.
Before you post, click on more options, and make sure all these are
checked on:
- Allow Comments
- Allow Duet
- Allow Stitch
- Allow Stickers
- Allow others to add to Story
- Allow high-quality uploads
Everything else should NOT be on.
The time you post does not really matter. TikTok shows your video to a
random audience first unlike Instagram where they show your video to
your followers first.
Once you post, make sure to go back and respond to previous comments
and like their comment. Stay active on the platform after you post and
make sure you are quick with responses for the first 15 minutes.
YOUTUBE STRATEGY
Right now, it is SO EASY to go viral off YouTube Shorts. YouTube is
so good at analyzing if it’s a good video or not and if you follow the
strategy I said earlier, you will go viral EVERYTIME!
All you got to do is pick your video, click next, make sure your
comments are on and your visibility is public.
For your title, CLICKBAIT using the hook of your video. Do not make
it too long and make sure to use the hashtag: #shorts, right after your
title.
Post that good video with the strategy I told you to use, and you’ll get
subscribers in no time.
The time you post also does not matter for YouTube shorts. However,
think of a time where people are most likely on their phones throughout
the day. And in that time, post that video!
GENERAL TIPS
- Quantity over Quality. To grow, you want to post as many videos
as possible. Then you will have a higher chance of growing.
- Make sure to reply to comments with 4 words or more. Try and ask
the commenters a question so you can get an extra response.
Implement key words as well into your response.
- You will get hate comments like every other creator but just look
at it as free engagement. No need to reply to them unless you can
reply positively. If you are a troll, troll positively and get an extra
comment out of the hater to boost your engagement.
- Use your analytics to see which videos do well and see how you
can better them and know which videos do not do well.
- I recommend recording videos in batches, so you do not feel tired
of recording and editing and posting every day. Always have
videos ready in your drafts.
- You CAN NOT be Perfect on social media. This will cause you to
be inconsistent, make you over analyze, and think you are not good
enough. We all aren’t perfect, and we make mistakes and if you are
consistent and create GOOD content, you will grow.
- Answer your DMs and Send out DMs. Develop a connection with
your audience as they can become potential clients of yours. DMs
is the best way to make money on Instagram.
- Acknowledge when people usually won’t be on social media. For
example, around Christmas/New Year time, people are with their
family and not as active on their phone. So, if your views are low,
it is because of the time you posted in.
- Do not compare your account to other niches within Instagram,
they have a different strategy than you and their niche can be more
popular or less popular than yours.
- Every 6 months, look at your most popular videos and repost them.
They have a high chance of doing well again!
- Do not remove large groups of followers from your account.
Removing large groups of followers will have a negative impact on
future growth within your account. Your account is most likely
public anyway, so if they really wanted to, they could just look at
your account unfollowed! Just focus on growing your account and
don't stress too much about removing followers!
- Make sure the content you are posting is all related to the same
niche. You do not want to confuse the algorithm of what type of
channel you are.
- If you feel like your account is dead, take a break for around 2
weeks. Then start posting consistently and engage a lot with your
followers. Change your style of content or editing style.
Collaborate with other creators and get a better production.
- To boost your views, you can create a very short video like 7
seconds with a call to action directing them to read the caption.
That caption should be long! You can also create controversial
topic videos or include forecasting news that is trending.
- Give your videos time to do well. They do not have to do well in
the first 2 hours. They could go viral in a month if it wanted to.
- Never remove a video unless needed to. Every video adds up. If
you stay consistent with posting, your future videos will have a
higher chance of doing well on the platform since they are active.
- The more cuts/clips in your video, the better.
