Why it works

A high-stress moment plus exact words is something viewers save and replay for the real call. The debt-collector scripts on crededsocialmedia, tiffthedebtfixer and matt.olson.marketing all beat the same accounts' broader credit explainers.

Hook formulaIf [authority/adversary] says [intimidating thing], say exactly this...

How to make it

  1. 1Open on the intimidating claim or situation ("If a collector says X...")
  2. 2Give the first-person script word for word, citing the law or reason it works
  3. 3Tell viewers to write it down or save it for when it happens

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.
