Why it works

The viewer hears their own daily line fail and gets a script they can memorize at once. This pattern repeats across wolfofwallst, lukelunk, therealbillycox, angelo.toure, officialandyelliott, kacungira and jeremyleeminer.

Hook formulaWhat do you say when they tell you "[verbatim objection]"?

How to make it

  1. 1Name the objection or default phrase in the hook
  2. 2Act out the bad version and show it failing, with a buzzer, red X or rewind
  3. 3Deliver the exact replacement script, often twice

What’s working in business and marketing this week

How this is measured

  • Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
  • TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
  • A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
  • Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
