Why it works

It's urgent, saveable and easy to copy inside the car. Both posts beat casual owner content by promising a to-do list for new owners.

Hook formulaDo this IMMEDIATELY as a brand new [product] owner.

How to make it

  1. 1Say who it's for and when ('brand new owner', 'every time I get in')
  2. 2Go through the settings one by one on the screen
  3. 3Say what each one protects or saves

What’s working in cars 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.
