@evodawson @capitalcorsa dropping some knowledge this morning at the @Superwall growth session.

9 VIRAL UGC formats we run, and exactly what each one is built to do:
1. The long text format
Text over footage, music underneath, nobody talks, and the brand gets one quick line or none at all.
It converts around 0 to 0.5%, so use it to test hooks and angles and never to close sales.
2. The face reaction
Shock hook, flip the camera, music, then show the demo.
The viral feature carries the whole video, which makes it a great test and a weak closer.
3. The talking head on a topic
The creator talks about a pain point or something that happened, and your brand shows up for 1 to 3 seconds.
It's still top of funnel, but speaking it makes the video feel personal and organic.
4. The talking face reaction
Take your winning face reaction and keep the structure and features, but the creator speaks it instead of music and text on screen.
This is one of the two biggest changes that turn a viral video into a converting one.
5. The credible listicle
"I was an ex flight attendant for 3 years, here are the hacks you need to know."
The product is one item in the list, and it stays very viral while the value you give builds the trust that converts.
6. The green screen breakdown
A middle funnel format where the creator breaks the topic down on screen.
The structure stays fixed, so swap the hook and the topic and never the framework.
7. The step-by-step tutorial
"Go here, do this, here's what you get."
Weave the product into the story, because the second it feels like a cutaway to a demo, retention drops.
8. The borrowed authority stitch
For a high-ticket brand, the founder posts "I'm the founder, here's my product," and the creator team stitches it with "they should be teaching this in school."
Let the founder's video play out, because you're borrowing their authority.
9. "My mom's a genius"
"Oh my god, my mom is a genius, she just showed me this hack..."
It's built for impulse-buy products people can use tomorrow, and it borrows authority while giving real value.

3. Middle-of-funnel formats
Move those winning variables into product-focused formats built for buyers.
4. Paid amplification

Great time speaking at the @Superwall day event yesterday.
We talked about founder opportunity cost, why canvas ugc outshines influencers long term and much more.

Listicles will always be a goated format.
You can repeat these for (almost) any brand/niche.
Let's break this one down:
“10/10 [things] for [specific person], but [curiosity gap]”
Why it works:
> Pain Point Hook: calls out a specific audience and problem instantly.
> Curiosity Gap: “but he won’t ask for it” makes you need the list.
> Early Save CTA: drives engagement before the value is even delivered.
> Visual Pattern Interrupt: laptop slideshows make a basic listicle feel fresh.
> Rapid Fire List: every new item gives you a reason to keep watching.
Go run this one for your brand today.
Don't just tell creators to "use stronger visual hooks."
Build the system for them:
1. Add proven visual hooks into briefs and scripts
2. Provide them with $10/wk in prop credits
3. Build a group chat where everyone sends examples
4. Track each visual hook that break 10K views
5. Share those winners across the entire creator team
6. Double down on outliers with new scripts, angles, creators
7. Publicly hype creators when they find a new winner
Your creators should never guess.
Give out the playbook and reward them for executing it.

3. Direct next step
"Go to website..." Position the product as value.
4. Viral feature
Show the wow moment with the name on screen.
5. Value sandwhich
Give a real tip, intro the product, add more value.
6. Comment trigger
