# Hook on screen, full list in caption

A health and wellness format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/health-and-wellness/hook-on-screen-full-list-in-caption

Tease with a short text hook over simple B-roll and put the complete numbered list or protocol in the caption. It worked for 10 accounts, with a median of 19x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Video, Slideshow.

## Why it works

Viewers have to open the caption to get the payoff, which adds read-time and saves. Plain visuals are enough because the value sits in the text.

## How to make it

1. Overlay a curiosity hook on a simple clip or montage
2. Write the full numbered list or protocol in the caption
3. Cue viewers to read the caption

## Hook formula

[Number] things I [did / would tell you] about [topic] (list in caption)

## 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.
