First of all, planners will choose a noticeable point, causing everyone's attention. The choice of this point is the key to the success of the hype. "Human flesh search" is the fundamental foothold in people, the network relationship is actually the relationship between netizens, only people have an interest in this "person", only willing to take the trouble to expand their search.

In this "person" choice must be extreme, or extremely beautiful, or extremely ugly, but also have strong contradictions.

Secondly, after the election of the "person", the next step is to warm up the public opinion. In the "IPhone Girl" incident, when a person in the online first raised this topic, if no one to follow up in time, then the topic will soon be buried in the ocean of the same network world. This requires the network push hands quickly intervene, constantly through a variety of channels to the topic to render, creating a "this has become a hot topic" atmosphere. Netizens have a herd mentality, if one thing others know and he does not know, then he will deliberately to pay attention to, and not let others feel that they "out", "old-fashioned", "from Mars." It is because of this psychological existence, the topic will be like "snowball" as much as the bigger, become a hot spot.

Finally, in the early days of public opinion preheating sufficient situation, "human flesh search engine" This tool should quickly debut. In the current network marketing, can not expect netizens spontaneous "human flesh search", but should take the initiative to attack the way, their first burst out a number of information to launch a "human flesh search engine." Pushing hands tend to put on a vest, through a variety of channels to throw the object of all kinds of information. They can use the exclusive blog to attract users of the eyeball, you can use the forum to disseminate the discussion and attention, you can use Baidu to know, Sina love to ask the platform to release the authenticity of all kinds of information to be discussed.

In such a comprehensive use of various platforms under the guidance of a few people caused by small-scale topics will soon be made millions of people pay attention to the big hot. In this step-by-step induction, everyone began to participate actively in the network carnival, the purpose of manufacturing "human flesh search" is achieved.

In the whole process of "human flesh search", the topic and information are always bound together with the subject that the operator wants to publicize. For example, in the "accord women" incident, the heroine has been on the "green Entertainment" on the Web site, every one wants to "accord women" launched "human Flesh search" netizens are not around this site. In the "Accord women" became a social concern, while the "Green Entertainment" site clicks and exposure rate also rapidly increased, which is the real purpose behind this incident.
