Why it works

Viewers wait for their own age or year, or for the final total. That keeps them watching until the end.

How to make it

  1. 1Put the empty ledger, age list or counter on screen in the first seconds
  2. 2Reveal one row or one subtraction at a time as you speak
  3. 3Save the biggest or most personal number for last

What’s working in money this week

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.
