Social Media Trends For Info Marketers
Here are a few viral video hooks and content ideas to get more views and leads:
- The “Contrarian Framework Reveal” hook starts by challenging the dominant narrative in your industry, instantly creating a knowledge gap and positioning you as an insider holding higher-level secrets.
Codie Sanchez uses this in “Should You Buy A Business”, where she states that most people don’t realize the smartest path to wealth isn’t building from scratch, but acquiring existing businesses that fit your “unfair advantage.”
This brilliantly explains what you should do and why you should do it, but leaves out the complex how – creating the perfect setup for a deeper dive in a course or coaching program.
Tell your audience a best practice they’ve been taught is actually holding them back, and introduce your proprietary framework as the alternative.
Here’s an example: “Stop trying to post 3 times a day on Instagram – it’s killing your reach. Do this ‘Evergreen Funnel’ method instead.” - The “Value-Driven Trojan Horse” format spends 80% of the video giving away free, objective value (like ranking known tools) to build trust before introducing a premium “secret weapon” at the very end.
Dan Martell uses this in “Popular AI tools ranked”, where he ranks famous AI tools on a tier list, but saves the “Top Tier” spot for a specific enterprise tool, driving viewers to comment for the link.
This works because tier lists are inherently engaging, and the frictionless call-to-action (commenting for a link) drives massive algorithm engagement while capturing leads in the DMs.
Try this format by ranking the top 5 software tools, books, or strategies in your niche, and making the #1 spot a resource only you can provide access to. - The “Pop-Culture Parable” hook bypasses the viewer’s natural defenses by using a well-known movie scene or cultural moment to illustrate a deep psychological truth.
Chase Hughes used this on Chris Williamson’s podcast, sharing a scene from the movie Pig to explain how pretending to be someone you aren’t will eventually erode your true identity.
Instead of lecturing the audience about imposter syndrome (which sounds like a pitch), Chase tells a story about a movie, letting the audience naturally identify with the hero before flipping the script on them.
Try this pattern by taking a popular movie scene or current event and tying it directly to the invisible pain point your clients are struggling with.
Here’s an example: “In Disclosure Day, Margaret cold-calls a stranger to warn him his life is in danger – even though they’ve never met. That’s exactly what your content should do: reach the right person before they even know they need you.”
