The Psychology of Making Money

Save reference
What to study

Expectation Violation

A video about making money tells you to buy nothing. The two ideas fight, and the clash is the pull. You expect tips on earning more, so a command to stop spending feels like a truth the usual advice leaves out.

How the packaging works
Title

The title names the broad topic of money psychology.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail plants a command that seems to contradict the title's topic.

Remix this

Use this when your real advice runs against what the topic normally promises. Put the topic in the title and the opposite command in the image. It only works if the video truly resolves the clash.
