# Exact price stamped on every photo slide

A money format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/money/exact-price-stamped-on-every-photo-slide

Show a real photo of each item or venue with its exact cost, to the cent, written on that slide. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 5x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Slideshow.

## Why it works

Real photos with exact numbers feel like transparent receipts. Slides can be saved and copied.

## How to make it

1. Use a real photo per slide
2. Stamp the exact price on it
3. Add the rule or reason behind the spend

## Hook formula

Things I bought in [month] that were worth it, with prices

## 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.
