Top 10 Social Media Tricks Influencers Use (That You Don’t Know Yet)
Ever scroll through your feed and wonder why some random post got 2 million views—and yours didn’t?
They know something you don’t. And today, we’re gonna spill every last trick.
We studied hundreds of top-performing influencers and campaigns. Here's what the smartest creators are doing behind the scenes... that you're not. Yet.
Let’s fix that.
1. They Hook You in the First 2 Seconds
This is the golden rule: if the first 2 seconds don’t slap—you’re done.
Every successful post starts with a “hook.” A bold question. A wild fact. A sentence that forces you to keep watching.
Examples:
“I spent $10,000 on ads and made $0. Here's why.”
“This is why your posts don’t go viral (and how to fix it).”
Why it works:
Hooks interrupt the scroll.
They tease value and make people curious.
The algorithm notices fast watch times and pushes your post.

2. They Post “Unpolished” On Purpose
Forget the perfect edits.
The best creators know raw > perfect. A shaky camera, bad lighting, even typos—they all make content feel real.
Why it works:
It feels human. Not like an ad.
It stands out next to ultra-polished brand posts.
It creates trust. People feel like you're not hiding anything.
How to use it: Record a tip, rant, or story in one take. Upload it. No fancy stuff. Just real talk.
3. They Tell Tiny Stories With Big Emotion
Influencers know: stories sell.
Even in 30 seconds, they share a mini story that hooks people emotionally.
Example format:
“Last year I was broke. Today, I just hit my first $10K month. Here’s what changed…”
Why it works:
Stories keep people watching.
They build connection fast.
They let the audience see themselves in your journey.
Pro tip: Tie the story to a lesson or insight. That’s what makes people share.
4. They Make You Fill in the Blank
Here’s the hack: people can’t resist completing a sentence.
So creators ask questions that make you think or respond.
Example prompts:
“My biggest social media mistake was ______.”
“If I had to start from scratch today, I’d ______.”
Why it works:
It drives insane comment engagement.
More comments = more reach.
The audience feels part of the conversation.
Use it: Once a week, post a fill-in-the-blank. And reply to every single comment.
5. They Share Behind-the-Scenes Stuff
You see a polished result. But they show the messy middle.
Examples:
“Here’s what it looked like before I went viral.”
“3 tools I used to grow 10K followers in 30 days (screenshot included).”
Why it works:
Audiences crave transparency.
It builds trust and shows your process.
It gives people hope they can do it too.
Bonus: This content is easy to batch and reuse.
6. They Jump on Trends (But Add a Twist)
They don’t just copy what’s trending.
They remix it. Add their niche. Their humor. Their twist.
Example:
If the trend is “day in the life,” they do: “Day in the life of a burned-out startup founder.”
Why it works:
Trends come with built-in audience attention.
The twist makes you stand out from every clone.
How to stay on trends: Use the TikTok “For You” feed + trend tracking tools like Trendpop or simply scroll 10 minutes a day.
7. They Use Data (Even If It’s Simple)
Numbers grab attention. Period.
Top influencers sprinkle in stats to boost credibility.
Example:
“I posted 90 reels. 7 went viral. Here’s why.”
“The average post reaches 6% of your followers. Mine hit 50%. Here’s the trick.”
Why it works:
Numbers feel real.
People trust content with data.
It gets saved and shared more.
How to start: Screenshot your analytics. Break them down. Tell people what actually worked.
8. They Repurpose Everything
A single idea becomes 10 pieces of content.
They don’t create more. They repurpose smarter.
Example flow:
1 video becomes →
A tweet
A LinkedIn post
A YouTube short
A blog
A carousel
A reel
A voice-over clip
A behind-the-scenes post
Why it works:
You show up everywhere.
It saves time.
Each platform lifts the others.
Multipost Digital specializes in high-performance repurposing. Want your content cloned across all platforms—without extra work? Let’s make it happen.
9. They Create "Open Loop" Content
Ever watched a video and had to finish it just to see what happens? That’s an open loop.
Example:
“I tried posting at 3AM for a week… and what happened surprised me.”
“I spent $5 on ads and reached 1.2 million people—but here’s the catch…”
Why it works:
It fuels curiosity.
People stay longer, increasing watch time.
The algorithm loves content people watch to the end.
Pro tip: End with a hint at the next post. Always tease what’s coming next.
10. They Sell Without Selling
Influencers don’t just scream “BUY THIS.”
They share value… then slide the sale in.
Example flow:
“Here’s how I plan my content for 30 days in 1 hour.”
Then: “BTW, I use our Multipost Content Calendar system to do it. Message me if you want it.”
Why it works:
It builds trust first.
People come to you instead of you chasing them.
It makes the offer feel natural—not forced.
