Urrofi said you should make a straightforward breakdown in your content creation. “You must make first three-second content as intriguing as interesting as possible,” add Urrofi then. If you want to keep the audience hearing and watching your content, you must find what motivates you to make the video.

How make a viral video? “We should find the best platform and media. Besides, we also have to learn the platform algorithm. Even Facebook and TikTok have different behavior of the algorithm. “When you know the algorithm, it can be viral too. If you talk about the platform, if we talk about TikTok, you should create the content well in the first three-second as interesting as possible to make people watch till the end,” urge Urrofi. “Consistency is the key to posting content on youtube. And Instagram is a different algorithm in each platform.”
