Viral Marketing: How to go viral with a video

1. Make it short: 1 minute is ideal

2. Put it on YouTube and put a link to a page you build specifically for that video.
Put the link at the very top of the video description

3. Put credits at the end that mentions your web site.

4. Make the video funny and or extreme.

5. Do not disable comments.. half of the fun of your video for viewers is reading the stupid comment people put on there.

6. Go ahead and sell your video or give companies the rights to use your video on television and cable. Once you go viral they will send an email to you.

7. Post the video wherever you can. Bulletin boards, blogs, facebook and Reddit.

8. One you start getting alot of views, most likely you will get an email from youtube offering you to do a revenue share deal with you. Do it. You can easily earn $100/day off a video that goes viral. Also, google owns youtube so it is in google's best interest for your viral video with advertising to be places prominently in the search engines.

9. Make sure that you own everything in the video including:
Graphics and pictures (including photographs and artwork)
Movie or TV visuals
Video game or software visuals
Performances (including concerts, events, and shows)
Music (including lyrics, cover songs and background music)
If you do not own everything in the video, you will run into copyright issues that will stop your video from going viral, hamper your ability to get it on television, block the ability to earn revenue from it and possibly cause you legal problems.
10. Keep in mind that if you do google adsense, you may see an increase in you adsense revenue immediately.. but don't be confused.. this revenue from "other than youtube" revenue like ads and web pages and such. Your youtube review will show no data for 30 to 60 days. So you won't know how much money you are earning until 60 to 90 days after your youtube video starts showing ads.
11. You should check around youtube periodically since people will grab your video and reupload it to their youtube as if it is theirs. You can go to their video and flag it as being a violation of your copyright.
