Snapchat Hook + Reaction
Snapchat-style selfie hook → reveal → "comment [keyword]" CTA — 1.4M-view territory
Shot in the Snapchat camera (or vertical selfie view) with a bold text-on-screen hook, then either a swap to the screen or a reveal of the product, closing with "comment [keyword] and I'll send you the link." @ernestosoftware's format — his top post hit 1.4M views.
- Building a warm Rork DM list (comment-for-link converts)
- Creators with strong on-camera energy + Snapchat/iOS camera aesthetic
- Any post where Rork itself is the hook
- 0–2s: Snapchat selfie frame. Big text-on-screen hook across your face. Energy high.
- 2–6s: Say the hook out loud. Point at something off-screen to cue the swap.
- 6–8s: Cut or swap to the Rork screen — prompt bar visible, already typing.
- 8–22s: Rork building an app. Fast cuts, minimal narration.
- 22–28s: Back to your face. "Comment 'Rork' and I'll send you the link."
- 28–30s: Repeat the keyword once more. End.
- The keyword has to be ONE word. "Rork." Not "AI app builder."
- Show the DM reply preview on camera — sets expectation + reduces bounce.
- Automate the DMs (ManyChat or similar) — manual replies break at scale.
- Reply to every comment publicly with "check your DMs" — threaded replies juice the algo.
