BOMB vs CRUSH (spot the difference)
The 'BOMB vs CRUSH (spot the difference)' text works perfectly for the trend format - it's the exact structure viewers expect.
Score Breakdown
The 'spot the difference' format is proven engagement bait - people WILL comment looking for differences even when there aren't any. Clean, readable text overlay.
Simple gray slides are functional but basic. The TikTok video portion has decent natural lighting and clear framing, though nothing exceptional.
Nails the format perfectly - identical images with confident framing that makes people assume there IS a difference. The transition to actual content is smooth.
What's Working
- Perfect psychological manipulation - the format makes people obsessively search for differences that don't exist
- Clean, professional text overlay that's immediately readable
- Smart pairing of engagement bait with valuable-seeming content about making money
To Improve
- The gray slides are too plain - add subtle visual interest while keeping them identical (textures, gradients, etc.)
- The TikTok portion could use better visual storytelling - show the laptop screen, emails, or other 'proof' elements
- Consider adding a subtle audio cue or beat drop at the transition to the actual content
The One Thing
Add visual complexity to the gray slides (subtle patterns, textures, or multiple elements) while keeping them identical - this makes people search harder and comment more.
This format works because it exploits the psychological principle of 'forced attention' - once someone commits to looking for differences, they can't stop until they find them or give up and comment. The beauty is there ARE no differences, so engagement is guaranteed.
