5/5 reach magnitude vs the account's own baseline.

Pull score
5/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

Running 344x the account's own baseline, this post reached 261K views against the 758 a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

SideShift, a UGC creator marketplace is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 22.3% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

By the raw numbers the post logged 9.3K likes, 6.4K comments, 1.1K shares, and 8K saves - the metrics Handler weighs into its Pull read, and the same figures you see in the panel above.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video runs for about 38 seconds in a direct-to-camera talking-head format. It opens immediately on the speaker delivering a spoken confession-style hook about an embarrassing side hustle that pays their bills. The video moves through three distinct beats at a steady, conversational pace: the initial personal setup, the platform introduction, and a closing call to action. On-screen text captions track the spoken audio continuously across the frame. The platform, SideShift, is introduced midway through the runtime via dialogue, where the speaker explains creating a creator profile to produce content for brands without posting to their own page.
