The 5 best-performing Reels on Raquel Martin's Instagram, with the opening line, view count and hook pattern behind each one. From a real Scrptly analysis.

A two-word fragment did twenty times the psychology

Raquel Martin is a psychologist and four of these five Reels are careful, complete explanations running 76 to 141 seconds. They did between 38,000 and 231,000 views. The fifth is twelve seconds long, the transcription reads I said, do, and it did 1,113,919.

That is a twenty times gap between a fragment and the considered work. The fragment is almost certainly a moment lifted out of a longer exchange, which is exactly what makes it work: the viewer arrives in the middle of something and has to stay to find out what.

The four long ones are structurally sound. People confuse boundaries, rules and threats all the time names a specific confusion and promises to resolve it, and did 231,000, the best of them. The weakest at 38,000 opens on a sentence that is already a conclusion, do not feel the need to continue to suffer, and then runs 141 seconds.

The pattern across the set is the same one that keeps appearing on accounts built around expertise: the opening sentence that states the lesson does worse than the one that opens a question. Four Reels here finish their thought in the first line and all four underperform the one that finishes nothing.

Worth being careful about what this does and does not show. One fragment at a million views on a five-Reel sample is not a format, it is a result, and the account should not be rebuilt around it. What is solid is the ordering inside the four comparable long pieces, where the one naming a confusion beat the one delivering a verdict by six to one on identical production.

The hooks on this account

Hook patternWhat it doesFrom which Reel

What you can copy

  • Open on the confusion, not the resolution. The best of her long Reels names what people mix up; the worst names what they should do.
  • Pull a fragment out of your longer material and post it alone. The twelve-second clip here did twenty times the considered version of the same expertise.
  • Watch your runtime against your opening. The 141-second Reel opens on its own conclusion, which leaves two minutes with nothing left to find out.
