Why These Work
| Factor | Why |
|---|---|
| Story | 65% of top posts are narrative-driven (“The [X] that [Y]”) |
| Hook | “Disappear,” “Crisis,” “Emergency,” “Exposed,” “Mistakes” stop scrolls |
| Contrarian | Challenge conventional wisdom (“Actually, [opposite of common advice]”) |
| Specific | Numbers (15, 20, 7), times (“Saturday,” “Sunday night”), names |
What Fails:
- Generic “How-To” posts: “10 Books,” “Complete Guide,” “Training Methods”
- Pure lists with no story
- Instruction manuals (save for blog SEO)
