Why it works

Viewers have to read the screen to get the address, and the instant visual payoff (3D logos, text match cuts) gives them a reason to stay. The same hook runs on several accounts, from numbered 'Powerful websites' series to single free-course URLs.

Hook formulaDid you know if you go to this website, you can [big payoff] for free?

How to make it

  1. 1Say 'Did you know if you go to this website/URL here...'
  2. 2Show the finished result or highlight the address in the first seconds
  3. 3Add a friction-remover like 'no login required' or 'free'
  4. 4Repeat the address in the closing seconds so viewers save or rewatch

What’s working in tech and ai 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.
