Es cierto que el gran factor que determina la “viralidad” de un contenido, es la suerte, pero existen rasgos en común que todo tweet viral posee, y en este artículo vamos a repasarlos.

However, January research from Hubspot’s Dan Zarrella – that analyzed 200,000 link-containing tweets – disputes this, finding that click-through rates (CTRs) are higher on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday than during the week. The Buddy Media report defines engagement rate as a combination of the number of replies and retweets a tweet receives, factoring in the number of followers.
