Prank I was hoping that people will send this out more...but it didn't really work... any suggestions why it didn't go viral...I have seen similar things going around the net with success...but mine really didn't work out. Tell me your thoughts.
Maybe the fact that there are so many things like this already out there discourages people to send it out?
For something to go viral you really have to have something both unique and something that people are going to tell their friends about. Even if something has the potential to go viral it still needs effective marketing in the right places. You should read Viral Traffic Generation for some good pointers.
Considering it's a prank, I would presume that a monster jumps out of the picture at some point, but I was searching for differences for 10 seconds and still no monster came.
lol...maybe I should've had warning there...maybe monster also took too much time to jump out...I do have another idea...similar...but doesn't involve pictures...or maybe there is just too many of those things online so it won't work...
There's no 'catch' that ties this all together. You need people to have an 'a-ha' moment when the shocking event happens - realizing that they should have seen it coming/expected it. Or give the sender an option to personalize the shock - ie: giving them the option make the monster say a text (or even better voice synthesized) message. People have a lot more incentive to send out a message saying "OSU rocks, Michigan are losers!" to a bunch of friends than some random screaming monster.
There's alot of stuff like this. Even though the munster was pretty ugly and scary, it didn't make me jump or anything..It popped up and i just looked at it for a moment like :/ I think timing has alot to do with it. The timing is off. Also try other things like the people above said.
I like the concept but I was looking for differences and couldnt see any... you need a different unique angle
Yeah, this isn't unique at all. There has been stuff going around the Internet like this since the late 90's. Next time try something really different that people will want to spread around. Maybe a unique flash game, or interesting pictures.
yes I thought also that timing was little too long...well thank you for your comments...I can do it better next time...already have one better idea...should make a contest for it...who can make the best version about my next idea...I appreciate your time and input...thank you
I think that the reason it did not work is it is an old reused method that frankly most people don't appreciate.
