Reverse-engineer any YouTube channel.
Paste a channel. We study its top-performing videos — titles, thumbnails, hooks, full transcripts — and hand you the formula behind them. Then we write you new titles in that exact style.
Title formula
POV: You [unglamorous choice] While Everyone Else [visible spending]POV: You [success] — Then [social consequence]Every one of 43 titles starts with “POV: You”. Second person, present tense, 9–12 words, one contrast hinge.
Hook structure (first 60s)
- 1 Exact timestamp: “It’s 6:58 on a Friday evening.”
- 2 “You” + place + one sensory detail
- 3 A neighbor flaunting something visible
- 4 The secret number nobody knows
- 5 Paradox line → “This is how you got here.”
Thumbnail recipe
2D cartoon, one faceless calm hero in the foreground, a stressed or showing-off crowd behind him. No hook text — props tell the story.
The replicable mechanism
A second-person story turns a boring money decision into an identity — “I look broke, but I’m quietly rich” — and ends on a social truth instead of a triumph.
