How to tell someone is going to blow UP on social media I can almost tell immediately when someone is going to be very good at social media. And here's one dead giveaway if your content is going to make it or if it is not. The biggest thing that I see I've done a lot of page audits. I've audited a lot of pages, and this is one of the biggest giveaways I see. It is the beginning of your video. And before you're like, girl, I've heard this so many times or whatever, I'm literally being so honest when I tell you this that the reason maybe your content is not growing is because your video in the beginning is not keeping people watching. Once you can learn how to keep people watching at this point, if you made it to this point, put this point in the comments. There's a reason you're gonna see this point in the comment section. Because the hook was good, I kept people watching, and I gave people something to do. When you hook the people, you tell them where to go. Maybe a lot of people aren't telling people to comment, telling people to follow, telling people to repost. What? How many times have you watched a video and you actually liked it or reposted it or commented because someone told you? You utilize this strategy with a strong hook, a call to action at the end, and value in the middle, and your content's about to blow up.

Once you can learn how to keep people watching at this point, if you made it to this point, put this point in the comments. There's a reason you're gonna see this point in the comment section.
