Why it works

Tax loopholes on things people already do feel instantly useful and savable. Citing a specific rule or deadline adds authority.

Hook formulaNext time you [common action], do [tweak], [tax rule] says you can write it off

How to make it

  1. 1Name the everyday action
  2. 2Cite the specific rule, number or deadline
  3. 3Say what to do about it

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.
