If in previous articles we discussed technical quality (1080p 60fps) and the right timing, today we take it to the next level. Many creators ask how to make viral posts on Instagram and TikTok, but the answer goes beyond just having a crystal-clear image.
You can have the best camera and respect all export recommendations, but if all you offer are "empty words," results will be delayed.
At NC Media, we know that virality is a mix of technique and psychology. Here are the 4 elements you need to consider for real results.
1. How to Make Viral Posts by Offering True Value
Before you hit the record button, ask yourself: "What does the viewer get out of this?"
You can have the best gear in the world; if the subject isn't interesting, the audience will scroll past. The content must have substance. Whether you educate, entertain, or inspire, ensure you are offering real value. A beautiful image without a strong message is just empty packaging.
2. Think Engagement (Call to Action)
People want to feel acknowledged. Social Media is not a monologue; it is a dialogue. This is where the Call to Action (CTA) comes in.
You need to give your followers a chance to interact and voice their opinions. How do you do that?
On Stories: Use interaction stickers (polls, quizzes, question boxes).
In Posts: Explicitly ask them to leave a comment, save the post, or follow the page.
Whether you invite them to work with NC Media for guaranteed results or just ask for a simple opinion, make sure you initiate a conversation.
3. Connect with the Algorithm: Hashtags and Location
You need to spoon-feed the algorithm information about your content. By using platform features (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), you help them understand exactly who to show your video to.
Hashtags: Their role is to filter the audience. If you use the right hashtags, your post about cars won't be shown to people interested in makeup (who would scroll immediately) but will reach car enthusiasts directly.
Location (Geo-tagging): Location tags connect people who have interests in that specific area.
4. The Sound Secret: Trending Audio vs. External Editing
A technical detail that makes a difference in virality is the audio source.
Although it is tempting to add music directly from your editing software (Premiere, CapCut), algorithms favor content that uses native platform audio. By using a song that is already Trending on Instagram or TikTok, your video has a much higher chance of being pushed to a new audience.
Conclusion
Virality is not a lottery; it is the result of a strategy that combines technical quality with human connection elements. Apply these tips, and you will see your numbers start to grow.
