9 categories to try for viral videos

written by on September 26th, 2009

I’m always on the lookout for other blog postings that have to do with tips on how to get more exposure online, especially when it comes to videos - and I recently found an interesting one from the Work At Home Guide about making viral videos.

Their post, The Top 9 Characteristics of Viral YouTube Videos Revealed is basically a list of categories of videos that they suggest doing for the best chance of getting noticed on YouTube.  Those video types include Funny Videos, Weird Videos, Inspirational Videos, Shocking Videos, Interesting Videos, Sexy Videos, Personalized Videos, Demonstration Videos, and Gross Videos. I think I’ve only done about half of those types of videos myself so maybe it’s time to move on to something extra sexy or gross next! :-)  You can check out their blog post with more details on each here.

What do you think? Any video categories that you’d say are missing from that list?  What type of video has worked best for you?
