What happens when you creates curiosity

"This is what happens when you [action]" works because it promises outcomes. People think: "They know what happens. I want to see the result." It's curiosity wrapped in promise.

Plus, what happens creates investment. When you say "This is what happens when you use this strategy," you're creating curiosity about outcomes. People want to see what happens. They click because what happens when you feels engaging—even when the outcome is predictable.

What happens when you is just outcome with better curiosity

It works because it hits three triggers: curiosity, promise, and investment. The what happens creates curiosity. The when you creates promise. The action creates investment. People see "This is what happens when you use this strategy" and think: "I want to see what happens. I want to know the outcome." They click because what happens when you feels engaging—even when the outcome is standard. It's not about being clever—it's about making outcomes feel curious.

Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to see outcomes. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to promise results.
