Why it works

The visible result creates want, and the single-word comment is easy to do, so engagement goes up. Several accounts paired it with concrete numbers such as dollar amounts or income claims.

Hook formulaComment [WORD] and I'll send you the [prompts/links/list].

How to make it

  1. 1Show the result or key numbers on screen first
  2. 2Give a taste of the resource, blurred or partial
  3. 3Tell viewers to comment one word to get the full list or prompt

Examples

Best first, one per account. Each links to the original post.

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.
