There’s a strange obsession online with going viral.
Millions of creators, entrepreneurs, and everyday people are chasing that one magic moment. The post that explodes, the video that racks up views overnight, the sudden burst of attention that feels like a shortcut to success.
And sure, going viral can be exciting. It gives you a temporary rush, a spike in followers, maybe even a little cash if you’re monetized.
But here’s what most people don’t realize…..
Going viral is not a business model.
It’s not consistent. It’s not predictable. And it’s certainly not something you can rely on to build real, lasting income.
You can get millions of views one day and struggle to crack a thousand the next. The algorithms change, audiences shift, and trends come and go faster than you can keep up.
Trying to build a business on virality is like building a house on sand.
Yes, there’s money in ad revenue and brand deals, but only if you can maintain a high level of attention day in and day out.
That means constantly creating, constantly posting, and constantly hoping the algorithm blesses your next piece of content.
It’s exhausting.
You’re always chasing the next trend, scrambling to stay relevant, hoping your next big idea pops off.
as I say in The Money Blueprint, if you chase every shiny object, you’ll end up with a business that’s as fleeting as the trend itself.
That’s not freedom.
That’s not stability.
That’s just burnout dressed up as hustle.
The real path to financial freedom isn’t about chasing attention, it’s about building value. And that starts with one simple mindset shift….stop trying to be viral, and start trying to be valuable.
You don’t need a million views if you have a product people actually want.
When you sell something real, an ebook, a course, a coaching offer, or a service, you take control. You’re not at the mercy of algorithms or the latest trend.
You’re building something that solves problems, serves people, and generates income whether you go viral or not.
You should still use content to grow your brand, but the focus changes. You’re no longer trying to impress the masses.
You’re now just speaking to the people who need what you offer.
That’s what a real business looks like.
So please, stop trying to go viral and start building something that lasts.
