Tutorial teasers are just instruction with better anticipation
It works because it hits three triggers: anticipation, promise, and value. The tutorial creates anticipation. The I'll show you creates promise. The exactly how creates value. People see "I'll show you exactly how I [accomplished feat]" and think: "I want to learn how they did it. I want that instruction." They click because tutorial teasers feel valuable—even when the tutorial is just marketing. It's not about being clever—it's about making instruction feel anticipated.
