It works because it hits three triggers: credibility, proof, and trust. The proven creates credibility. The ways create proof. The once and for all creates trust. People see "[Number] proven ways to grow followers once and for all" and think: "If they're proven, they must work. I want to see them." They click because proven ways feel credible—even when the proof is just claims. It's not about being clever—it's about making methods feel tested.
