Sometimes I’ll be watching cute animal reels with my son and I’ll discover that the lizard we are watching has hundreds of thousands of followers, or the meme account I go to for a laugh has topped a million and I think “why is it so easy for some and not others?”

The short answer is ‘interest’. Those accounts are putting up content that’s relevant and interesting or entertaining to the masses. Add to that - consistency - those accounts are consistently providing content that’s relevant and interesting or entertaining to the masses. Dig deeper and you will find something else - an IT factor or some damn good timing…I’m talking about virality.
