10:45This SIMPLE WOODWORKING PROJECT Is Making Me Easy Money
Save referenceCuriosity Gap
A plain block of wood and the words easy money do not belong together, and that mismatch is the hook. The crop hides what the project is, while the arrow points at a detail you cannot explain. His worried face makes it stranger.
Title
The title attaches easy money to a project it refuses to name.
Thumbnail
The image crops the project so close you cannot tell what you are looking at.
If your process produces something ordinary looking, crop it so viewers cannot name it, then attach the outcome in the title. The duller the object looks, the harder the money claim pulls.
Ordinary object plus money claim equals a gap worth clicking.
