Here are two unique content marketing trends to get more leads, the latest tech and AI news, and recently published books for entrepreneurs:
Try These 2 Content Marketing Formats
- Quoted Objection is one of the highest-performing video hooks on YouTube for coaches and service-based businesses right now.
Top creators like Alex Hormozi are using it to get hundreds of thousands of views on short-form videos.
The format is simple: take a common objection you hear from clients and put it in quotation marks for your video title.
Titles like “My Market Is Too Small” or “My Content Stopped Working” are getting massive traction.
The quotation marks signal to the viewer that you understand their specific problem. It feels personal, like you are reading their mind. This stops the scroll and immediately builds a connection.
For coaches and info marketers, this hook is a powerful way to pre-handle objections and attract qualified leads who feel understood before they even watch your content. - Soft Brag is an emerging short-form video trend that online coaches can use to grab attention on TikTok and Instagram and generate high-intent leads without feeling “salesy.”
The format starts with genuine praise for a client’s recent success, then pivots to reveal the one small but powerful shift you taught them to achieve it.
The hook is direct and compelling: “My client just hit her first $20k month – here’s the one tiny shift I showed her that no one else talks about.”
This works because it builds authority through teaching, not just showing off. It feels helpful rather than salesy, which builds trust and retains your target audience’s attention.
Use this trend to showcase your expertise and attract clients who are already sold on your method before they even enter your sales pipeline.
