How Do You Make A Political Issue Video Go “Viral” So You Alert People To The Importance Of Issues?

I first went to Google to ask it how to make a video go viral, and then I went to YouTube to view some of the Google suggestions,
and then I learned it’s a lot more work than I thought. I tried to follow some of the instructions but so far I just don’t have the “art” of being concise and getting a message across in 30 seconds or 60 seconds, and my editing skills, or lack thereof, don’t help.

I think some of the basic ideas the “How To” videos were trying to get across, is that you don’t go “Viral” overnight. Some of them discussed the “method” of creating a “challenge” and making a new short video every single day while showing that you are participating in the “challenge” you have chosen or created.

Next, you have to create excitement and get people all concerned
about something. “How close are we to World War III?” would be
an example. Or, “How many days until you can teach your dog
new tricks?” The worst ones would be like, get your daughter’s
pet bunny rabbit and your son’s dog in the same room and see
if you can control the dog from biting the bunny. Idiotic! Awful!

I have to go back and watch some more “How to make your video
go viral” videos on YouTube. I think the “How To” videos are actually
the most viral.

Well, here’s what I came up with for Day 1 of my video-go-viral
challenge, the title is, “Episode 1 Election Countdown Challenge”
and I am challenging myself as a Write-in candidate
to defeat U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and to make a new video
Episode every day.

You’ll see I cut my hair short from my last videos,
because fuel prices are going up and electricity prices
are going up and I need to get out of the shower and
get my wet hair dried faster, so I cut it short.

My challenge is to make a new video every day,
and to make them shorter than this one, and to
say something meaningful every day, something
of importance to voters to help them make the
best choices for their own values in Vermont,
and to make the videos exciting. (Groan!
making them “exciting” is the hard part!)
