Frequently Asked Questions
Sort extracted posts by total engagement (reactions + comments + shares) to find top performers. Focus on posts with unusually high engagement compared to the average.
Never copy directly. Use research for inspiration - understand what works and why, then create original content that applies those principles.
Monthly research sessions work well for most creators. Trends change, so regular research keeps your content fresh and relevant.
High engagement content typically triggers emotion (humor, inspiration, controversy), provides clear value, has strong hooks, and is easy to share.
