@marcus0alameda

nice read. Well I would add communicative articles (this is social currency I guess), which trigger people to communicate. There is a great study by mathematician Odlyzko. People back then claimed that content is king. Odlyzko made a research of internet content and network-value and found out that interaction in general is way more important. [Insane Study - old bud gold Odlyzko 2001] Now it has shifted from chatroom to the comment section. When communication is enabled and encouraged, your content (it could be the same piece of content) is much more likely to be shared. A no-brainier I know. PS. shared because of the fancy example with the pub. This works 100% with me. I like examples outside the box :D

I believe promotion is fair when it is paid for. All the rewards of this article are going to the Steem DAO automatically.

I understand most of the tips but I really don't understand triggers. I get the concept of setting up a trigger for your audience but how? I guess my question is how do you set up a trigger for something like a youtube video?

Hi @soupermedic. That is a very good question. It really does not depend on the channel you use (Youtube in this case) but more on the content of the video.

Another clever example that be found in the book Contagious illustrates this phenomenon. The song "Friday" by Rebecca Black was considered one of the worst songs of all times. However, it got millions of views on Youtube. Studies have shown that the views spiked, guess when? On Fridays. People were reminded of this song every Friday by association, thus even though the song was bad, it gained incredible popularity.

I hope this example made it clearer for you.

This is extremely helpful to me right now as I'm trying to get a Facebook group flourishing.

Also- this should have been taught when I was in advertising in college.

Thank you.
