Reasons Why Videos Do NOT Go Viral
2 MarEvery person or company that posts a video has a dream that it will be a viral sensation — popular and adored around the world. But, as many of us know (for example, see my most viral video, with 1,074 views 
), this is not typical.
As Brian Morris, who writes for the PsPrint Design & Printing Blog, puts it: “Companies dream of video marketing campaigns that go viral; earning the kind of response that makes millionaires. But not everyone can repeat the YouTube success of the Dollar Shave Club, much less PSY. What is it about certain videos that make them go viral and unleash a chain reaction that results in massive profits? And why isn’t your video going viral?”
Morris points to these factors as inhibitors to viral success of videos:
- “It’s not funny, touching, or cute”
- “You’re not promoting it”
- “Poor timing”
- “Practice makes perfect”
- “It’s not in the stars”

How to Better Engage in Online Marketing: Questions You May Be Embarrassed to Ask
21 FebMany times, people have good questions about how to engage in online marketing but are afraid to ask them.
Consider this observation from David Williams, CEO of Fishbowl: “The Internet has been around for quite a while now, but there are still a surprising number of business executives who don’t understand its usefulness and are afraid of looking weak by seeking to learn the basics of Online marketing. For the past half-decade, my Marketing team has been using PPC ads, SEO, social media, blogs, and other online tools to reach a wide audience and educate them about a topic as seemingly boring as inventory management software. If we can do it, you can definitely do it as well. In that spirit, I would like to humbly offer my answers to eight questions about online marketing that we find many companies are still too embarrassed to ask.”
