In today's Marketing Minds podcast episode, I'm sitting down with the incredible Austin Armstrong - a viral content expert who's generated billions of views across social media platforms.Austin breaks down his step-by-step framework for creating viral short-form content, including the exact hooks, psychological triggers, and engagement tactics he uses to dominate platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. He even reveals his "hidden folder trick" that consistently boosts engagement on his videos (and yes, it's slightly controversial but incredibly effective).What makes this conversation so valuable is that Austin gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how he's built his massive following across multiple platforms. Did you know he's grown his personal Facebook profile to over a million followers? He shares his lesser-known but incredibly effective Facebook strategy, including the text thread format that's generating 83 MILLION views per month for him.We also dive into a game-changing Instagram hack called "Trial Reels" that most creators aren't using yet. This hidden feature allows you to repurpose your best-performing content to reach completely new audiences, and Austin explains exactly how to implement it step-by-step.For those interested in AI marketing tools, Austin shares his journey creating Syllabi, his AI-powered content creation software, and gives us a preview of his upcoming AI Marketing World conference. As someone who's been in social media marketing for over 20 years (starting when he was just 14 years old!), Austin has a unique perspective on where content marketing is headed. Whether you're just starting out or already creating content, this episode is packed with actionable strategies you can implement immediately. My biggest takeaway? Consistency trumps everything - Austin's been posting thousands of pieces of content for years, and that volume of testing has allowed him to discover what truly works.Stay until the end where Austin reveals his most controversial (but effective) psychological triggers for boosting engagement on any platform!Chapters00:00 The Power of Collaboration in Marketing00:00 Austin's Journey to Viral Success02:45 Key Strategies for Creating Viral Content05:21 Understanding Content Funnels and Audience Engagement08:13 Platform-Specific Strategies for Content Creation10:43 Maximizing Facebook for Organic Reach13:22 Diving Deeper into Facebook Strategies15:56 Exploring Other Platforms: Instagram and Beyond23:59 Unlocking Social Media Growth Hacks26:50 Maximizing YouTube and TikTok Strategies30:31 Transitioning from Long-Form to Short-Form Content33:32 Content Creation Frequency and Consistency37:54 Exploring AI Marketing Tools42:46 Performance of AI-Generated Content44:42 The Evolution of AI Marketing World51:10 Leveraging Psychological Triggers for Engagement
