Another Take on Getting Videos to Go Viral

Mark Hendrickson

101 comments »

Over Thanksgiving this past year we published a controversial guest post by Dan Ackerman Greenberg called “The Secret Strategies Behind Many ‘Viral’ Videos” that explained how certain steps can be taken to make amateur videos hosted on YouTube achieve massive amounts of page views.

YouTube comedian Kevin Nalty (you may know him from Farting in Public) has just posted a much lengthier piece called “How to Become Popular on YouTube (Without Any Talent)” that also gives advice on how video producers can get their content to go “viral”. While there are overlaps in their suggestions (make the videos short and sweet), his take on things is less controversial than Dan’s since he doesn’t focus on a set of tricks that can get videos highlighted on YouTube’s “Most Viewed” page. Rather, he explains how individual performers can create attractive content, build a respected following on YouTube, and avoid certain pitfalls.

Not only is the advice different but the intentions are as well. Whereas Greenberg’s strategies come from someone who runs a firm focused on maximizing the ROI of its clients, Nalty warns against getting into viral video production for either fame or immediate profit. One choice quote: “If I divided the revenue Iʹve made from online video by the time Iʹve invested, my payback would be less than minimum wage.”

The differences in intent have largely to do with their sources of revenue. Whereas Greenberg gets paid directly by large corporations, Nalty makes money from most of his videos through YouTube’s Partners Program (although he’s not allowed to state how much he actually makes through it). He does make some decent money from the production of sponsored videos that promote a certain product or brand. But his “hope of entertaining people” seems to be the largest factor motivating him…at least for now as he works on YouTube videos part time and waits for the advertising possibilities for amateur video to improve.

We’ve embedded Nalty’s 34-page “eBook” below, and you can download it here.

    Hey Kevin, is it Nalty or Nalts? Perhaps Nalts is the video creator and Nalty is your alter ego marketer?
    I’ve always enjoyed your videos.

    Ever tried melting cheese on your keyboard? I never have.
    Anywho, lets hope all them undiscovered talented people take a good use of this Ebook.
    And that they then send some bill$ to Nalts to thank him for their sudden popularity.
    And that they send some cheese to other people.
    That send cheese also.
    And again and again.
    And Nalts will then appear in Wikipedia for being the first Person Sending Cheese To E-Strangers Because Of Youtube Gett’n Crunchy.

    Hey Nalts,
    Rudolf Bahro (18 November 1935 – 5 December 1997) was born in 1935 in Bad Flinsberg (now in Poland). He joined the East German Socialist Unity Party in 1954 as a student of philosophy at the Berlin Humboldt University.

    Here’s an interesting but previously unreported fact about Nalts: Did you know that on hot summer days, he likes to dip his winkie into hot sauce before jumping into his backyard pool? It makes for a nice, cool tingling sensation on his nether regions. His wife usually just looks the other way, but the kids are permanently traumatized. The very mention of the word “barbecue” and they all throw up. In unison. Into the pool. Which makes for a very tedious afternoon of pool cleaning.

    “But his “hope of ENTERTAINING people” seems to be the largest factor MOTIVATING him…” (trying hard not to burst out in evil laughter)

    Dictionary.com defines entertaining as “To hold the attention of with something amusing or diverting.” Did somebody, anybody proof read this article? Nalts is lame!

    Dictionary.com defines motivating as “To provide with a motive or motives; incite; impel.” Wink, wink!!! Kevin, you are so good!

    *****btw, this was all in fun…you should subscribe to “Nalts” on youtube…he RAWKS!!! :)******

    An interesting, little-known fact is that in German, the word for “cheese” is “Kase.” Which makes Marilyn there look a little more than coincidental.

    If a canoe is rolling down the hill with only one wheel, how many donuts fit in a doghouse when it’s raining?

    To answer Nalts question . . . Assuming that these are Dunkin’s Donuts, because there are no Krispy Kreme Stores in New Jersey, you take the amount of glaze on the donut divided by the filling minus the hole when applicable. You take the amount of precipitation multiplied by the cosine of the day and month to figure out the corresponding climactic application. The canoe is obviously an Old Town Canoe that had a wheel fall off, which means the dog house is made from Georgia Pacific OSB board. Take the size of the Standard dog house OSB board in NJ and multiply by 1/3 of the result from above, which brings to hold exactly 246 and 1/2 doughnuts in the exact current climactic conditions (keep in mind the slope of the hill with one wheeled canoe will affect the final result by plus or minus one tenth of a donut depending if it is domestic flour in the donut.)

    The same equation with Colby or Provolone (is there a difference) cheese comes to exactly 42 no matter what the conditions, because any dog cannot eat more than 42 blocks of cheese without suffering massive gastrointestinal failure, (which Nalts would promptly run over in his van while talking on his Crackberry and VLogging.)

    However, if it was cheese that resembled Nalty’s face, we’d all be in trouble. I think we could probably sell it on eBay to raise money for Dogs wounded by donut calculations and careless Youtubers.

    These equation does not take into account if the person figuring the equation has sweaty feet, high blood pressure, or if they have a phobia of dog houses. Someone please solve the same equation for bird houses in the snow.

    dont waste your time reading this whole book(sorry nalts). page 28 part E says it all. if the people that work for (or know people that work for) YT dont like you, you will not get fair treatment. can someone explain to me why i have very complex passwords (like: hgtf478y4utga5635tyd11gy5) and i have gotten hacked (several times) resulting in people making some videos open for ratings as well as puting there email in instead of my own. i have a youtube channel that can under no circumstances get “view honors” now. keep in mind channel has over 12 million hits.
    the whole flagging system is a scam. my first “viral video” was removed after being unflagged several times and making in the top 10 most viewed of the month (all videos).
    my second was flagged just as it had enough to take the #1 place for the month (AV) then unflagged after the month was over and flagged again after making the first page of the most viewed of all time People and Blogs. if you get a chance to see whats allowed there now it will become overwhelmingly clear i am being treated unfairly.
    another video got 150,000 hits within the first day (and then was flagged within the first day) was unflagged only when the month(eligibility for honors) was over.
    i could go on but i am getting to long here.
    Dan Ackerman Greenberg isnt the only one misleading people. i believe there is someone at youtube that dosent like me, not everyone( because obviosly they made me a partner).

    Secret message!! In Nalts’ ebook…

    first: write the first letter of each paragraph on it’s own individual post-it note.
    second: place the post it notes someplace handy, like in a huge manilla envelope or perhaps a wok.
    third: watch the video on youtube where Nalts promotes the ebook. at spot 00:58 you will find the clue to help you arrange the letters.
    four: forgive Slorge for leading you down this wild goosechase farce.

    I bring more funk to the table than the Rocky I soundtrack. I’m the quintessential human version of a Sylvester Stallone knock-out mixed with good looks and more intuitive sarcastic wit than Will Ferrel on his glory days with SNL. This book has helped me, surprisingly in the field of talking to ladies. I come at them with strong sarcastic comments. I used to approach them with more respect and justice then what PBS commercial does for woman. Now, I speak my mind..

    Thank you Nalts. This book helps.

    I don’t know why everybody’s so obsessed with cheese today. It isn’t even that good at catching mice. I hear peanut butter on a mousetrap works better. And it makes for a tastier snack once the mouse gets caught in the trap. You know, kind of like peanut butter cups, with a mouse instead of chocolate. Delicious, and sometimes squirmier.

    There hasn’t been a new comment since yesterday afternoon; where is everybody?

    On a completely different subject, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Of course, that depends in whether it is an African or European swallow.

    Although a definitive answer would of course require extensive measurements, published species-wide averages of wing length and body mass, initial Strouhal estimates based on those averages and cross-species comparisons, the Lund wind tunnel study of birds flying at a range of speeds, and revised Strouhal numbers based on that study have lead some people to estimate that the average cruising airspeed velocity of an unladen European Swallow is roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour.

    You know, I finally made may way through that piece of drivel that nalts calls an e-book. I fail to understand the praise. it is callow, unsophisticated and jejune. In fact, I had to do an 8-ball just to get through it, and now I’m in dire need of a hefty quantity of smack to bring myself back down. Text me if you have any.

    Really, so much wasted time on so much crap. In fact, it reminds me of fresh cow patties in a field of waving grass in the wilds of Kansas, without the sweet sweet smell of alfalfa. Only the steaming smell of cow poo. Too bad one of those tornado thingies doesn’t come along and suck the piece of crap up and strew it across the countryside for all the country bumpkins to look at and say “Yee haw!! Hey look Ma and Pa, free toilet paper!”

    Maybe I shouldn’t be so concescending to those hicks. They may be able to fix me up with some primo horse to bring me down from this horrid state of paranoia caused by that damn eight ball. I mean, I only have so much hair I canpull out before I have to start pulling out the hair of the squirrels in the yard. I’m Britney bitch.

    ~Cheese signing actually dates back into the early 15/1600’s. The King of France (each one would do this) Would sign the cheese to let the town’s people know the cheese had been tested by him and that it was good. A lot of people would not each cheese thinking it had gone bad (blue cheese). So, the King put his Stamp of approval (signature) then as time progressed the entire block or roll of cheese was eventually put into the ring of wax as we see them today for longer lasting freshness. So, by Kevin Nalty signing the cheese Tech Crunch is considering him a King of So Said Online Videos. He really should be signing a new Video Camera or Computer. No worries I am lactose intolerant anyway so the cheese is safe with me!

    Nalts, how long are you gonna let this crap go on? I’m running out of funny, and I never had any weird to begin with. That’s not how I roll.

    Sukatra:
    I agree with you. Nalts, this must end. We cannot be allowed to continuously post less and less funny drivel on this page. I am not a funny person, as evidenced by my posts. Please, Nalts, bring this contest to an end so we can all get on with our miserable lives.

    Hey guess what!!! I just got offered an opportunity to be in the Cambridge Who’s Who for unemployed crackheads!!! I’m beginning to think that might be a better deal than an autographed piece of moldy chieese.

    You too? Wow, we’ll be in it together!!! I wonder what kind of netwroking we can do with that little tidbit on our résumes.

    Sorry, that should have been “networking”. I, too, got no sleep last night and now I have to deal with middle school students who think they know what they are doing on the computers when all they really know how to do is get to MySpace, which, fortunately, the school’s filtering software blocks, but they try to get around that by using unblocking sites, mosot of which we also block, but God forbid they should have to type up a paper using appropriate grammar and spelling and formatting; hell, they don’t even know how to double-space in Word® and yet they think they are computer gods because they know how to IM their friends…..

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to rant like that. I love my job!

    And yet again I misspell; that should be “most” in the fifth line down. I need to proofread before I send. Funny, I tell my students that all the time!

    I’m too dumb to leave witty comments. Marilyn and Sukatra seem to have taken over. You guys are still here?

    STALKER!!!!! =D

    Yeah, I’m a Nalts stalker and proud of it!! One of my user names on YouTube is “FanClubofNalts”; not that I pay much attention to that account. Can’t seem to get people interested in actually forming a club to honor Nalts. Don’t know why; after all, he is the God of YouTube. Or is that Renetto? I can never keep them straight.

    Nalts sucks.

    Maybe that’ll get his attention.

    OK, Nalts. You’ve had your fun. You made your laptop throw up, you’ve impersonated Phil Mickelson (and terroized Spencer in the process), you’ve posted a lond, boring conversation about Who’s Who, now it’s finally time to own up and award the damn cheese! Your minions are sick of visiting here every day to post more and more lame comments in an effort to appease their god. So get one with it already!

    Again, a typo. That should have been “long”, not “lond”. Damn, I’m tired. Gotta start getting some sleep at night.
