# Read the list off a real notes page

A family and pets format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/family-and-pets/read-the-list-off-a-real-notes-page

Read your list from a notebook, notepad or Apple Notes page that stays visible. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 17x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Green screen, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers can read ahead or screenshot the page. The handwritten or notes look makes the list feel personal.

## How to make it

1. Write the list in a notebook or Notes app
2. Keep it in frame or as the background
3. Read each item with your comment

## Hook formula

[Stage/week], I wrote everything down

## 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.
