Transcripts
what's up guys alec here and in this
video i'm going to be showing you how to
find viral content for instagram
and to the left of me right now you can
see all the timestamps for your
different sections throughout this video
in case you want to skip ahead because i
don't want to waste your time however i
do highly recommend watching the video
all the way through to get the most
value and information from it with that
being said let's get started so to grow
on instagram you need to have good
content and the best way and the fastest
way to grow on instagram is to have
viral content now this video is mostly
aimed towards people with theme pages
but it is
also very useful for people who have
their personal pages that create their
own content if you're a theme page this
video is going to help you speed up your
instagram workflow and boost your
overall growth and then if you're a
personal page this video is going to
help you understand what a viral content
is
because once you know what content works
on instagram and what content works
on social media in general it's game
over for your competition and with that
being said
let's jump in so first of all what is
viable content so according to the
internet viral content is online content
that achieves a high level of awareness
due to shares and exposure on social
media networks news websites aggregators
email newsletters and search engines
so basically viral content on instagram
is content that gets a lot of likes
views comments and shares now if you're
making content from scratch and blindly
reposting content within your niche
hoping that it goes viral you're doing
it wrong you need to do some research
you want to find and study viral content
now there's two ways you can do this so
the first way is to do what you've most
likely always been doing and what most
people do and what i've done a lot in
the past
is to go on your instagram app study the
content within your niche so for example
let's say we're going to use a page that
i've spoken about millions of times
before on this channel
my bedroom goals to find viral content
all i'm going to do is head over to the
explore page
and now what i'm going to do is
basically just browse and have a look at
a bunch of different content now this
can take a lot of time but when i'm
looking for content what i do is just
mainly browse
through my main explore page and i have
a look at most of the content here now
not all of this is viral content but a
lot of it is content that works
because we are seeing it on the explore
page now
let's say i want to go more in depth
what i'm going to do now is type in
bedroom decor and i'm going to go to the
hashtag bedroom decor
and as you can see now we've got all the
top posts for this hashtag
and as you can see here we've got a
reels here which is a piece of viral
content or it's looking like a piece of
viral content because it's at the top
video content does do very well now it's
very hard to find viral content and to
quickly compare all of these stats for
each post
to see which one does best and each post
was most likely posted on a different
account
so everything is always going to vary a
little bit and it's very hard to kind of
put all this data together
but that's how i would go about finding
content for my page i would go through
have a look if i see that it's got a lot
of engagement it gets a lot of comments
i might be like okay this is great so
for example
uh nearly eight thousand likes 128
comments if i have a look at their page
they've got 186 000 followers and i'm
like okay this content is good
however it's not viral because they
haven't got a huge amount of engagement
on it now let's say i go and take a look
at this reel
right here let me just turn off the
noise as you can see 218 000 likes and
if i take a look at the page
1.5 million followers now they do have a
lot of followers however
218 000 likes is absolutely massive and
this is also thanks to the reels
algorithm that this post has done so
well
but that's how you go about finding
viral content it's very tricky to do
within the app
but that's how i go about doing it
that's how i found most of the content
for this page in the past
however there is a faster easier and
better way to do this
it is a paid tool i do want to mention
but you can test it out for free and
this tool is viral spy what i'm going to
do now is just jump onto my computer and
show you viral spy and how i would find
content a lot
faster so if i go over to viral spy also
i do want to mention the links are going
to be in the description
down below also it is an affiliate link
so if you do decide to sign up to
the tool i get a little bit of
commission at no extra cost to you and
it also helps me keep on making these
videos and it helps support this channel
so
thank you if you do decide to sign up
through that link so on viral spy as you
can see here we're on the main page and
it looks pretty basic
however we can actually do a lot with
this so let's say again we're going to
go into the bedroom the cornish i want
to find
some viral content within the bedroom
goals niche so what i'm going to do is
actually
select hashtags here and i'm going to
quickly type in a bedroom decor
just like this and then i always suggest
turning up the max depth
search to at least a thousand however
you can make it three thousand
i would go minimum of a thousand and
then once you click go it will start
scraping instagram for the viral content
the bigger depth you have
the longer the search will take now as
you can see here we have some more
filters and things we can sort the posts
by we also add a minimum amount of likes
a minimum amount of views
a minimum amount of comments and you can
also only choose posts that were posted
before a certain date or after a certain
date so just to show you a quick example
if i leave this on a thousand and i
click go right now i'm not going to
touch any of the filters just yet so if
i click go
and as you can see we've got this little
loading wheel and it's slowly scraping
and getting all of the data and
information for us now as you can see
we've already got some of the results
such as the average likes the average
comments the maximum amount of likes
and the max comments however wait until
it's finished scraping so you get the
most accurate data and the best viral
content so i highly recommend just doing
something else that takes you 30 seconds
to a minute and then just come back to
your laptop
okay so that's about three minutes
describe a thousand posts so if you bump
it up to three thousand
it's going to take roughly 10 minutes
which isn't that long considering the
amount of posts it scrapes and just
pulls all the data and information
automatically for you
without you having to look at every
single post to compare everything so now
as you can see if i jump onto the
computer
for the search on the hashtag bedroom
decor
as you can see we've got the engagement
so the average
likes is roughly 961 per post
the average comments 33 the average
video views 30 000 and we also see the
max
one of my two favorite things is we can
also see the most
used hashtags on these posts so
obviously the top one is going to be
bedroom decor because i want all of
these posts to have the hashtag bedroom
decor
and as you can see we've also got
bedroom inspo which is
used a lot we've got interior designs so
this tool can also be used for your
hashtag research
and then on top of that we can also see
dimensions
so as you can see if i just click on
this it says basically this is the list
of usernames and how often they were
mentioned in the post
just like the hashtags so looking at
this this kind of helps you get an idea
of who your competition is within your
niche and
in that hashtag so for an example let's
just say plant lifestyle
right here if i'm to copy this and then
i'm just going to head over to instagram
slash put the username this is going to
be some kind of interior design page
so as you can see yep this hashtag or
this page will be using the hashtag
bedroom decor
so this i could consider this page as
one of my competitors
now if i go back to viralspy and if i
scroll down
this is where we can see all of our
viral content so
now right here we can sort it by the
like so we currently have it sorted by
likes
and as you can see at the top we have
the post with the most likes for this
hashtag so in bedroom decor
the max amount of likes is 18 000. so as
you can see if i go back to the top it
says the max amount of likes is 18 000.
so i might think of this first post with
the maximum amount of likes for this
hashtag as a viral piece of content
however what i highly recommend doing
is if i open it in instagram just by
clicking this button right here and i
check
out their page as you can see they've
got 2.7
million followers so it's only normal
that they're getting this amount of
likes so what we're going to do now is
just completely forget this post
so now i'm going to keep on browsing and
looking through the top pieces of
content
and what i might want to do is adjust
some filters so now
if i only want to show videos so if i'm
looking for video content let's say to
post on reels i can
select videos and then what's going to
happen is variable spy is going to go
through
and just show all of the videos so i've
just done that
and now as you can see all of the
content we see here is
video content and let's just say i
decided to click on this one i do open
in ig
right now and then i press play
so as you can see this is a bedroom
decor
influencer showing off her room and this
is the type of content that would work
really well on my page and it looks like
it's the type of content that's worked
for her so now this maybe wasn't the
best example of a hashtag to show you so
let's say if i go back
to search another viral and this time i
want to find the best viral content from
a specific page
so let's say i type in my bedroom goals
and i select username this time
and then again here i'm just going to do
the mac search depth 300 so on the last
300 posts i'm going to find the best
viral content so now
again what i want to do is sort it by
the amount of engagement overall
and then we're going to do a minimum
amount of likes of 10
000 just like this and then i'm going to
go minimum
comments we'll go 20 because i want
something that engages so now if i
enter this and i click go again viral
spy is going to scrape all of the data
from instagram from this specific page
and bring me all of the best content so
now as you can see it's started
here it's scraping still so again we're
just going to wait for this to finish
but the data has already begun appearing
we also get the engagement rate for the
page
on the amount of posts that we've
scraped so currently
on the 150 post that we've currently
scraped i've got an engagement rate of
1.32 it's now going down we've scraped
the last 200.
so now if i scroll down i'm starting to
see some of the best content on my
page right here so for example the best
post
if i open this in ig i think this might
be a carousel post if i'm not mistaken
as you can see this is one of the most
viral pieces of content i've had so far
on my last 200 posts
so if i go back to viral spy
as you can see we have our top
performing content here right here at
the top
so let's say i want to use this on my
own page so what i could do is just
start selecting them right here
so let's say if there's multiple that i
want to download i can select them
and then i just click zip download right
here however i want to download a
specific one
i can just choose this one and i need to
click download as we can see this now
opens
up and then i can right click and do
save
image as or if i just do this right here
i click zip download for the ones i've
selected so i've got three posts
zip download and as you can see this is
opened up i now have a zip file with all
of that viral content that i've just
selected so that is how to quickly and
easily find viral content so for example
now again if i only wanted videos
however i don't post many videos on my
page if i decide to only have videos i'm
going to remove
the minimum just like so and then
enter now all of the content we're
seeing is video and if we take a look
viral spy tells us
these are videos so as you can see this
one got a quarter million views the next
one got over 110
000 views then 88 000 views and this is
the top performing content so i would
then want to go and
take this content post it on my own
personal page and you can do this for
any type of niche it could be
skateboarding it could be cars you want
to go and find your competitors and see
what content
they're posting themselves and what
content is doing well and if you don't
know
how to find competitors if we go here to
find
similar users this is also a great tool
so let's say i decided to put
my page in and i'm looking for my
competitors with the my bedroom goals
page if i select that and i click
go as you can see now we are searching
for similar users and viral spy
is basically going to pull a bunch of
users that are also in the same niche as
myself and now as you can see we have a
list of all these different accounts
within the same niche as me and what i
can do is if i click copy all to
clipboard right here and then what i can
do if i go to instagram again this time
i'm gonna head into
my dms if i just paste this to myself in
a dm i can now go through and look at
every single one of these accounts
easily and quickly and see what kind of
content they have themselves
or directly on viral spy i can click on
each account
and then i get the analytics and i can
also scrape the content the viral
content on their
page and that is how to quickly and
easily find a bunch of different viral
content to
use or to inspire yourself from for
and i did mention that this video was
going to be helpful for people that are
also running
personal pages and not just theme pages
where you're reposting content
when it comes to your personal page you
also need to be
posting viral content but because you're
not taking it from somewhere else you
need to make this viral content yourself
and
to make viral content you need to study
viral content so i highly recommend
going through and looking at the top
content on a bunch of different pages on
the explore page the top content within
hashtags
and then take that viral content and
basically recreate it and put your own
spin on it for an example again in the
bedroom to cornish
if videos of people showing off their
bedroom are doing really well
try and do the same style of video
with your own spin on it it could be
just the fact that it's your own bedroom
you could add a funny twist you could
add some personal music
but study viral content to make viral
content and that
is how to find viral content and create
viral content for instagram
and that's pretty much the video now
like i mentioned viral spy is a really
useful tool but it is a paying tool you
can test it out for free and if you do
decide to sign up to it
it's not too expensive i think it's 15
bucks a month there is an affiliate link
in the description and down below
if you use that affiliate link i will be
very grateful because again i'll get
commission and no extra cost to you and
it helps me keep on making these videos
and with that being said that is the
video
now if you have any questions about
viral content on instagram or how to
create viral content how to use viral
spy i would love to hear them in the
comment section down below and i'll try
and get back to you as soon as possible
