Social media hook:
Predict the Outcome of This…
Challenges viewers to make predictions, increasing engagement.
Predictions create participation
"Predict the outcome" works because it invites guessing. People think: "They want me to predict. I want to see if I'm right." It's participation wrapped in prediction.
Plus, predictions create investment. When you ask "Predict the outcome of this experiment," you're making people think and guess. People invest in predictions they make. They click because predictions feel engaging—even when the outcome is predictable.
Predictions are just participation with better investment
It works because it hits three triggers: participation, investment, and engagement. The predict creates participation. The outcome creates investment. The guess creates engagement. People see "Predict the outcome of this experiment" and think: "I want to guess. I want to see if I'm right." They click because predictions feel engaging—even when the outcome is obvious. It's not about being clever—it's about making people want to predict.
