Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens by telling you what not to do — harder to scroll past than advice.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Points at real customers, users or results as evidence rather than assertion.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.

The mechanics

Hook: Tells you what not to do
Structure: Hook → Context → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: concrete, punchy
Mechanisms: Specificity, Pattern interrupt, Social proof
Written for: SaaS founders and operators
