Social media hook:
Popularity Proof
Leverage numbers
Popularity proof creates social validation
"Popularity proof" works because it shows others are doing it. People think: "If others switched, it must be better. I should consider it too." It's social proof wrapped in numbers.
Plus, popularity creates trust. When you say "Why [number] customers switched from [competitor] to us," you're showing preference. People trust popular choices. They click because popularity proof feels credible—even when the numbers are selective.
Popularity proof is just social proof with better numbers
It works because it hits three triggers: social proof, numbers, and trust. The popularity creates social proof. The number creates credibility. The switched creates trust. People see "Why [number] customers switched from [competitor] to us" and think: "If that many switched, it must be better." They click because popularity proof feels credible—even when the numbers are cherry-picked. It's not about being clever—it's about making choices feel popular.
