Usually it needs to have some kind of comedic element that leads people to want to share it with their friends and family, thus starting the “virus”.

Hi, Tom,
making a viral video could be easy and smart, but bringing traffic to it continuously could be a big issue. I still didn’t use this strategy, although I was taking it in consideration. I have so many things on my mind, that I choose to leave certain things on aside and get back to them when the timing is right. Viral videos are sure not yet to come from my part, but eventually they will, I am sure in it.
