Title patterns in Linus Tech Tips's niche

Formulas that score strong across Tech videos.

Hook

Precise non-round number

Revenue or outcome as an odd specific figure. The brain treats $33,000 as measured fact; $30,000 feels invented.

"5 "Boring" AI Automations To Sell For $1.5k+ Each In 2025"
Hook

Time pressure hook

Hyper-specific time commitment stated upfront. Lowers perceived cost before the click. The verb "delete" (not "reduce") signals permanent fix.

"Watch Me Start & Sell An AI Service In 10 Hours"
Concept

Expert reacts / critiques

Creator as evaluator rather than advocate. Provides intellectual safety through a credible proxy. Less biased-seeming than direct advocacy.
