By skyforbes Creating viral content used to be a matter of luck. In 2025, it’s a matter of strategy — and the right tools. With ChatGPT and Canva, anyone can produce high-impact Reels, carousel posts, and graphics that look polished and perform well across platforms. No design degree or influencer status required.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to building viral content from scratch.
Step 1: Use ChatGPT as Your Creative Engine
The hardest part of content creation isn’t design — it’s ideation. ChatGPT can generate dozens of scroll-stopping ideas tailored to your niche.
Prompt to try:
“Give me 10 viral short-form content ideas for [your niche]. Each idea should include a hook, a message, and a call to action.”
Example for AI creators:
- “Stop wasting hours creating posts — this one AI tool does it for you.”
- “Three ways I use ChatGPT to make my content go viral — even with zero followers.”
- “Don’t post another video until you try this Canva trick.”
