Quiz: What Type of Viral Content Would You Accidentally Create?

Because nothing says “I’m a professional” like posting a Reel while sitting on the floor next to your laundry pile.

You weren’t trying to go viral. You just wanted to sell a $17 digital product without crying. But somehow… your late-night rant hit 80k views, your funnel broke, and your cat just signed a brand deal.

You didn’t mean to go viral, but fate – and the algorithm – had other plans.

Let’s find out what kind of glorious chaos you’d unleash on the internet without even trying.

1. It’s content day. What’s your highly professional workflow?
2. Wake up motivated. Open Google Docs. Black out. Wake up three hours later inside a Canva rabbit hole designing a freebie no one asked for.
   B. Light a candle. Pull a tarot card. Ask ChatGPT to write a hook. Argue with it. Post nothing.
   C. Record a Reel while holding your phone with your mouth because your tripod is broken and you’re out of hands and hope.
   D. Rage-type a “hot take” thread at 11:43 PM while wearing a retinol face mask and eating popcorn out of a measuring cup.

2. What’s actually in your drafts folder?
3. A 43-slide carousel titled “5 Ways to Write Better CTAs” that ends with you spiraling.
   B. A tutorial video with killer info and a rogue nose whistle you didn’t catch until editing.
   C. A TikTok that starts as affiliate content and somehow turns into an existential crisis.
   D. A post titled “Unpopular opinion: Stop undercharging and blaming the algorithm. You’re just boring.”

3. What’s your vibe when recording content?
4. You “just jump on real quick” and somehow film a 17-minute video rant in your robe.
   B. You use natural lighting, an outline, and a ring light… but your dog still photobombs every frame.
   C. You hit record, forget what you were saying, and leave it all in because “authenticity.”
   D. You film an angry breakdown about shady marketing tactics that ends with 30 DMs and one speaking invite.

4. How do you know a post is going viral?
5. You get a weird comment like “This made me cry and I don’t even know why.”
   B. Three of your biz friends text “OMG your face is everywhere.”
   C. You check your email and someone bought your $9 template… 47 times.
   D. Someone you hate shares it unironically. You ascend.

5. What do your followers say about your content?
6. “I didn’t know someone else’s breakdown could help me so much.”
   B. “You explain things in a way that makes me feel smart, but also like I need therapy.”
   C. “How are you this funny and still getting stuff done?”
   D. “You said what I was too scared to post—and now I’m sending this to everyone.”

Tally Your Answers

Mostly A’s:

The Relatable Breakdown That Healed the Internet

You just wanted to post something low-effort about your week. Instead, you cracked open your soul, trauma-dumped on the feed, and somehow created the most shared post in your niche this month.

Why it went viral: You’re chaos in pajama pants and the algorithm loves it. People don’t trust perfect anymore – they trust you.

Unsolicited Advice: That unfiltered honesty? Package it into your next digital product launch. Your audience is already in love with the real you.

Mostly B’s:

The “Holy Sh*t, This Is Actually Helpful” Tutorial

You accidentally posted your brain’s best-kept secret – like a mini-masterclass in carousel form – and it spread faster than your favorite planner on launch day.

Why it went viral: You gave away real value without sounding like a bootcamp instructor. People saved it. Shared it. Tattooed it (probably).

Unsolicited Advice: Repurpose that into an upsell. Or a workshop. Or a cult. Whatever fits your business model.

Mostly C’s:

The Chaotic Video Clip That Became a Core Memory

You posted a video with questionable lighting and no editing… and it popped off. Now people think your dog is your VA and strangers are quoting your intro in comment sections.

Why it went viral: It had chaotic charm and weirdly good timing. It felt real in a sea of fake perfect energy.

Unsolicited Advice: You’re not off-brand. You are the brand. Embrace the weird.

Mostly D’s:

The Righteous Mic Drop That Started a Digital Riot

You didn’t mean to cause drama, but you called out the BS—and it struck a nerve. Now you’ve got 60 new followers and 3 hate comments you printed out for motivation.

Why it went viral: It was bold. It was true. And it had “don’t @ me” energy that made your audience yell “FINALLY.”

Unsolicited Advice: Anger is a content strategy. Just make sure to drop a lead magnet link at the end of your rant next time.
