11:535 Books That Will Make You Smarter Than 99% of People
Save referenceDesired Outcome
Five books for a place above 99 percent of people is a small price for a big prize, and the real stack in his arms makes the work look doable. But the image text resells the title's promise in new words, spending a surface twice.
Title
It prices the outcome at five books and sizes it at 99 percent.
Thumbnail
A real stack of books shows the work, while its text repeats the promise.
When your title already sells the outcome, give the image text a different job, like the cost, the catch, or who it is for. A second version of the same promise adds nothing to the click.
Two surfaces selling one promise waste one of them.
