Social Media Trends For Info Marketers

Here are a few viral video hooks and content ideas to get more views and leads:

1. The “Reframe and Validate” hook opens with a big, abstract question, flips the premise by defining the concept through contrast, then brings in a second credible voice to co-sign the reframe.
   
   Simon Sinek uses this in “Being NICE vs. Being KIND”, where Trevor Noah distinguishes kindness from niceness by arguing that niceness is a performance while kindness is an action – and Sinek validates the point with a workplace feedback example.
   
   This works because it challenges a preconceived notion the viewer holds with confidence, forcing them to reconsider their own behavior through a relatable everyday scenario.
   
   Use this pattern to challenge a widely accepted “best practice” in your industry and offer a more effective, albeit uncomfortable, alternative.
   
   Here’s an example of a hook: “What does it mean to be helpful to your clients?” And the topic can be: “Why being ‘accessible’ to your clients 24/7 is actually the worst thing you can do for their results.”
   
   
2. The Blueprint to a Million: Combine a highly desirable outcome with a trending topic and frame the entire video as an actionable blueprint the viewer can follow immediately.
   
   Dan Martell uses this in “Stop pretending not to know how to start a business with Claude Code”, where he answers the question, “If I wanted to go from zero to a million dollars using AI, what should I do?” with a specific 5-step process that eliminates every excuse.
   
   This works because it removes the barrier to entry entirely, promising that no specialized skills are required to achieve the outcome if the viewer follows the steps.
   
   Use this pattern to walk your audience through a step-by-step path to a major milestone using a tool or strategy they have been hesitant to try.
   
   Here’s an example: “If I had to build a 6-figure online business from scratch using only organic social media, here are the exact 5 steps I would take.”
   
   
3. The “Help Me Convince My Wife” hook opens with a real person publicly admitting they already know the answer to their problem – they just need an expert to say it out loud so they can use it as social proof for someone close to them.
   
   In Alex Hormozi’s video, an audience member confesses he wants to shut down a profitable brick-and-mortar business that is draining him, but his wife is emotionally attached to it – so he literally asks Hormozi to say it on camera so he can show her the clip.
   
   This works because the audience member’s vulnerability and humor make the viewer feel like they are watching a private conversation, and the punchline “You’re holding on to $350k to prevent you from making an extra $3M” is quotable and shareable.
   
   Use this pattern by clipping a real moment from a group coaching call or Q&A where a client admits they already know what they need to do but are looking for permission or validation to do it.
   
   Here’s an example: “She already knew she needed to raise her prices. She just needed to hear me say it – so here it is.”
