What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • Bertha's finger on her lips says she's about to share a secret.

How the packaging works
Title

'Most People Are Making Tacos Wrong' makes home cooks wonder if that's them, and 'Every Time' promises a fix that works reliably, not just once.

Thumbnail

The shh gesture turns a cooking tip into a secret and the tacos are big enough to make you hungry, though MEXICAN TRICK only repeats the title.

Remix this

When your tip comes from a tradition or a trade, show someone from it with a finger to their lips beside the finished result. Point at the result and keep the actual trick out of the title and thumbnail.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.
