Today, “going viral” means sharing something via email or social media that spreads quickly to millions of people online. The term “viral video” didn’t come around until 2009. It was first used to describe the video “David after Dentist.” Viral videos can turn people into Internet celebrities overnight.
Viral Instagram content gets significantly more engagement than your normal posts usually do. You know you have a viral Instagram post when it has 100,000+ likes and views and thousands of comments while being posted by an account that has only a few hundred or few thousand followers.
In TikTok out of the 300 people who view your video first, your goal is to reach 300 points for TikTok to consider it a viral video. While these are estimated distribution scores, this is a good way for you to visualize the point total: If a Video is 90–100% watched fully — 1 Point.

Is 500 views on TikTok good?
If you want fame and fortune from one of your videos, then 500 views are not going to cut it. Five hundred views an hour is undoubtedly going to be headed more towards the direction you will need to get what you want out of your TikTok video.
The more comments on a video, the more likely it is to go viral. This works especially well if you can engage with commenters and get them to continue commenting on your video. However, if you have a video that is going viral on TikTok and you are replying to comments, don’t go too fast or you’ll get blocked.
YouTube personality Kevin Nalty (known as Nalts) recalls on his blog: “A few years ago, a video could be considered ‘viral’ if it hit a million views”, but says as of 2011, only “if it gets more than 5 million views in a 3–7-day period” can it be considered “viral”.
How do you know if your reel is viral?
In reality, going viral simply means that your piece of content is reaching more people than it normally does. Say you have 5000 followers and your Instagram post normally reaches 3000 people. But you post a reel that reaches 10,000 people and has over 10,000 plays–that reel has gone viral for you.
Do you get paid if your post goes viral?
