# Screen steps followed by the real-world result

A cars format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/cars/screen-steps-followed-by-the-real-world-result

Alternate between the touchscreen or phone steps and the physical hardware or outside result they cause. It worked for 5 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Voiceover.

## Why it works

Menu taps alone are dull. Showing the seat moving, the speaker playing, the plug charging or the part being protected proves the setting does something.

## How to make it

1. Show the physical effect or hardware first or right after
2. Screen-record the exact taps
3. Cut back to the physical result as proof

## Hook formula

Here's [feature]: tap this, and watch what [physical part] does.

## 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.
