🚨 What Separates Viral Creators… From You
Let’s break it down so you can gain this skill too!
Most people scroll like zombies. Not realizing there’s a a lot they can learn from the post that went viral.
Creators scroll like strategists.
Creators decode.
What I mean by that is…
The skill of Pattern recognition.
Not just what the post says…
…but how, why, when and what effect it creates that made it go viral.
ASK: “Why did this perform the way it did?”
Let’s get into it 👇🏽

🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨
WHAT IS PATTERN RECOGNITION?
It’s the ability to detect hidden loops and strategies underneath the flood of content.
🔍 LOOK FOR THESE 5 PATTERNS WHEN YOU SCROLL TODAY (especially if it performed well):
Visual Anchors
Are they using any kind of visual disruptors?
↳ font, color, emoji, images, video or layout
Pacing & Tension
What made people want to keep reading? (test it on yourself)
↳ Are they using questions? Line breaks? Formatting that guides your eyes?
Trigger Words
What emotional button did they push?
↳ Words like “never,” “because,” “you’ll notice,” “no one talks about this…” = intrigue.
Posting Cadence (wont be the same for everyone but it’s an important metric to track)
What time did they post? Morning? Nighttime? Weekend?
↳ Posting at the same time everyday can sometimes be beneficial.
🧠 QUICK PATTERN SCAN EXERCISE
Here’s what YOU can do today:
☑ Pick one creator you admire
☑ Look at their last 20 posts
☑ Don’t just read it; reverse engineer it
ASK → What patterns show up in tone, timing, symbols, engagement style, structure?
Better yet, take a bunch of screenshots and have AI analyze it for you. Use this prompt with your attached screenshots:
You are a content strategist.
Analyze these posts (from screenshots) and reverse engineer the creator’s content style.
Tell me what patterns show up in:
→ Tone
→ Timing
→ Visuals or symbols
→ Engagement strategy (hooks, CTAs, comment bait)
→ Structural choices (line breaks, emojis, formatting)
Then summarize:
• Their recognizable “style fingerprint”
• 2 things I could borrow or remix from this
• 1 thing they do differently than most
Speak to me like I’m a creator trying to study what makes posts perform well or go viral.🧠 This isn’t just “study successful people.”
It’s: “train your brain to see what most people ignore.”
