Combine 5-16 short single-tip clips into one fast compilation, leading with the most striking or useful one. It worked for 7 accounts, with a median of 21x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Video, Voiceover, Screen recording.

## Why it works

Each tip is quick and complete, so viewers keep watching for the next one. Bundling many ideas also makes the post worth saving.

## How to make it

1. Pick your strongest or weirdest hack to open
2. Give each hack 4-10 seconds with a clear demo
3. Keep a consistent pace to the end

## Hook formula

## 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.
