How can I promote artwork I created that was inspired by a viral video I posted months ago?

First, download the original viral video to your phone by going to your profile, finding the reel, clicking the paper airplane icon, and selecting download. Then create new content that starts with a trimmed portion of the original viral video, followed by you telling the story. Say something like: ‘That reel I just showed you, I posted it a while back and it got so much attention. People were so invested in the story that I decided to create a piece of art inspired by it. It’s available on my website, here’s the story…’ This is a genuine way of connecting the dots by simply telling the truth about what happened. You’re leveraging the success of the original content while introducing people to the artwork it inspired.
