Every day, someone goes viral on LinkedIn, X, or TikTok.
One post. One video. One crazy spike in attention.
Then what?
Most times, nothing.
No leads.
No clients.
No long-term momentum.
Because virality is a tactic.
And tactics without strategy are just noise.
At Legacy Builder, we don’t chase one-hit wonders.
We build content machines that turn attention into action.
Here’s how we think about it:
Most people try to “go viral” with hot takes and hacks; but the goal isn't to be popular, it’s to be trusted.
Instead of asking “How do I get more likes?”
Ask:
“What would make someone save this?”
“Would a buyer DM me after reading this?”
“Does this position me as the expert or the entertainer?”
Strategy tip:
Create 3 types of posts in rotation:
Credibility (case studies, results, insights)
Relatability (founder mindset, behind-the-scenes)
Utility (frameworks, tools, step-by-steps)
Virality spikes your reach.
Authority builds your pipeline.
2. Short-Form Video: Consistency Wins
Everyone’s obsessed with the perfect hook or viral soundbite.
But the best creators?
They show up every week, every month, every quarter—with clips that teach, inspire, and sell.
Strategy tip:
Film once a month
Create 8+ videos per batch
Focus on 2 outcomes: Trust and Traffic
Even if you get 1,000 views a video, that’s 8,000 touchpoints from people watching you talk, teach, and lead.
Virality is lucky.
Distribution is earned.
Your newsletter isn’t there to go viral.
It’s there to convert lurkers into loyalists.
This is your home base, the highest-leverage channel you own.
Strategy tip:
Share 1 key idea per issue (like this one)
Link to your best-performing post or video
Include a clear CTA every time (DM, reply, book, etc.)
Use social to spark interest.
Use video to show your face.
Use email to build the relationship.
Final Thought:
Don’t chase spikes. Build systems.
You’ll be surprised how far you can go in 12 months with a focused message, a repeatable content engine, and an offer that solves a real problem.
Keep building,
