GO VIRAL!
To go viral you need to keep certain components in mind....
Keep posts positive. Positive content has a greater chance of being liked. No one wants to see negative posts. Remember, when you post on social media platforms you are basically marketing what you are doing, believe in, or like. A lot of perceptions are channeled through a picture. If you post negative content...who will follow you? I can't say, but i do know that people's first impression of your account will not be good and they will less likely follow you. On social media, all you get is one chance to attract people, once they are gone, ....they are gone.
Posts should also arouse an emotion from the viewer and going against what I said previously the post should arouse negative or positive emotion. Usually useful and informative information gets shared and usually these kind of posts arouse emotions.

3. Preparation is key! Memes aren't all about what is trending at the time; that is just one example. You should also search and look for elements in your business that are meme worthy.

News Update Summary
How to invest better using social media contains some good
insight on marketing yourself as a person and also helping you build a better
portfolio. In 2013 the SEC began allowing companies to use Facebook and Twitter
to provide information to investors. This is a huge step in the financial
world. Instead of investors waiting for the next issue of business journal to
come out, companies are able to get and immediate reaction from stock consumers
since publishing statements on social media is right at your fingertips. Without
investors, most of these companies would not be able to efficiently market
themselves due to the high costs that come along with this sector of the
business. Marketing is very competitive and expensive. Social media is a free
way for these companies to get their information out there. Since most of the
world’s population is using social media now-a-days, companies are able to
reach a wider demographic and even attract foreign investors.
The key factor for consumers using social media to monitor
their stocks is; Social Media platforms are a source of information overload.
Not only do you get one person’s opinion on a stock, you get many different
views. Usually in journals or magazines you only get a few different
perspectives. Social Media allows anyone to put in there idea. Allowing
companies to post information on earnings, ventures, etc. they are making it
easier for people to access the information they need to make a decisions on
investing via social media. This is UWall Street’s way of adjusting to the ever
changing technology in our economy. Social Media is keeping the stock market
relevant to the upcoming generation.
