@Adam – Thanks. It took some time, but was well worth it. I learned a lot about the videos and I hope everyone else found some value as well.

@Jane – I’m glad you liked it! Most successful videos seem to follow that formula, but there are always videos that defy the odds and become popular with new formulas.

I love this collection! – And you’re to the point equation hits the mark…

(Clever Entertainment) + (Sharability) + (Target Audience) + (Product/Service/Personal Brand Tie-in) – (Push-Marketing) = (Successful Viral Video)

Thanks Dayne!

I don’t really understand it much either Tom. There are always videos that surprise as they gain popularity. I tried to point out a few of my observations of popular videos. I’ll continue looking into videos for future posts.

Interesting breakdown on why and how viral videos happen. It’s a phenomenon that I’ve never really understood.

Still one of the coolest vids ever is that one of the cow moose nibbling the end of that guy’s arrow. Crazy!

Thanks Cory. I like putting these collections together. It gives me a chance to see some great videos and think about why they are successful.

With all the questions coming in about online video and the hunting industry I thought it would be valuable to take a look at some of the successful videos in the hunting world and give thought to what others can do to build their own success.
